If you're concerned about the graphics of Fallout 4, Bethesda, the company behind the upcoming game, doesn't care.

In an interview with Metro, Pete Hines, Bethesda's Vice President of PR and Marketing, spoke about the criticism the game's graphics has received, along with why the company hasn't released a lot of details about the game's plot.

Right after the release of the Fallout 4 trailer a few months ago, fans have been vocal in complaining about the game's graphics, although the game doesn't come out until November. When asked about that, Hines stated that this criticism does not, in any way, upset the company and laughed as he explained how it's difficult to please every fan of the franchise.

"Generally speaking ... I think we're an industry, we're a form of entertainment," said Hines. "As with most forms of entertainment you never get 100 percent agreement on anything. And so, at the end of the day, whether it's what the graphics look like or whether the gameplay is what you want or whether you like the setting, or whatever it is, everybody is entitled to their opinion."

Some of those complaints about Fallout 4, too, come from fans who think gameplay looks to similar to Fallout 3. Hines stressed that Bethesda found it important to make Fallout 4 feel familiar, but that they've mixed those elements in with some new things during gameplay.

Bethesda took a unique approach in marketing Fallout 4. While most game studios announce games years in advance before their release dates, Bethesda announced Fallout 4 just five months before. The company has also held the game's plot close to its chest, not offering anything substantial, other than what gamers and journalists saw in the trailer, on what the game is actually about.

"And showing enough to get you interested without spoiling all the stuff that is much better experienced playing the game, and seeing it for the first time there," said Hines. "And certainly Todd [Howard, who worked on Fallout 4] and his team are big believers in that when you experience a lot of things in Fallout, there's lots of things you could explain but they're so much better understood when you play it and see it for the first time."

Fallout 4 releases on November 10 for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
