Pretentious Menus
This mod replaces the default main menu of Fallout4 with something which attempts to be a bit more atmospheric.
Taking a cue from Immersive Main Menu by Dicsaw, but trying to add a more ‘film-like’ quality there are several
different scenes here to choose from that depict different areas of the game, mainly outdoors. Some of these scenes are
from a fixed camera position, while others are not. Each scene is fully animated complete with sfx.
BADTFL Regional Office: two different scenes to choose. The first pans down from the ceiling and past a terminal located
in one of the decrepid offices. The second is a fixed cam of a terminal in a dusty side office.
Dawn nr Murkwater: This scene set west of Murkwater pans slowly from left to
right, the moon is about to set and the transition from night to day begins.
Nr Natick Banks: Camera slowly pans up from shattered concrete to show the area near to Lake Cochituate.
Shiny Dupa: Fixed slo-mo cam set inside the lower floor of the Supa Dupa Mart in the glowing sea.
Crater of Atom: Another fixed cam, set in the dead of night just outside of the Crater of Atom.
Rain nr Somerville Place: Static slo-mo cam of an unsightly settlement building at Somerville Place.
Shores of the Glowing Sea: two different scenes to choose, one fixed-cam, one pans slowly from right to left, both in slo-mo.
On the edges of the glowing sea, during a raging thunderstorm showing the utter devastation caused by the bombs.
Atlantic Mist: Fixed cam, fog rolls over Boston Harbor, with Boston City slowly revealing itself as the sun sets.
N.B. Each scene has a slight vignette, as well as a film-grain effect thanks to the fantastic Kodachrome 828 shader I use
(Vintage Film Looks by Cryosleep & TreyM)
If your not a fan of film-grain you might not like these menu replacers.
Unfortunately, I lost most of the original .mp4 video files I made, so the quality is not perfect by any means; I might at a later date re-record
these scenes again at higher quality, but right now I don’t have the time.I’ve more scenes waiting in the pipeline that need editing & re-encoding
at a later date if there is a demand.
