But that didn’t last long: using Fallout 4’s new building system, I cleared out destroyed houses, set up power generators and water purifiers and even erected a comfortable two-storey apartment building for my town’s refugees. When my character emerged from the safety of her underground vault and returned to her pre-war suburban neighbourhood, she found the entire block lying in ruin.
The customization system is quite deep (and optional, if tinkering on workbenches isn’t your idea of fun), and it makes hoarding rewarding. Just about every piece of scrap you find, from broken electronics to pre-war children’s toys, can ultimately be used to craft or modify weapons and other gear. The ruins of the Commonwealth are littered with junk to scavenge, and Fallout 4 makes all your garbage-picking worthwhile. While this may be old hat in a lot of role-playing games nowadays, it’s something fresh for Fallout, and gives the story an added bit of realism when you’re interacting with the odd inhabitants of the wasteland. YOUR CHARACTER FEELS LIKE AN ACTUAL PERSONįor the first time in a Fallout game, your character – who can be male or female, with a face and skin colour of your choosing – has a voice. This leap in processing power and memory means Fallout 4’s war-ravaged Commonwealth is more than twice as big – and a lot more detailed – than Fallout 3’s sprawling Capital Wasteland. As players set out to explore the mutant-infested, hardscrabble lands in and around Boston some 200 years after a nuclear war, here are the biggest changes they’ll notice in Fallout 4.įallout 3 debuted on the now-aging Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 consoles, while Fallout 4 is exclusively on the current-generation Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and beefier PCs. While Fallout’s famous tagline is “war never changes,” it turns out that seven years really does make a lot of difference. Seven long years, to be exact, the span between 2008’s Fallout 3 and this week’s release of Fallout 4. Other franchises, such as Bethesda Softworks’ post-apocalyptic Fallout games, take their time. If it’s autumn, you know you’re going to be donning a hood and stabbing people in the face in a new Assassin’s Creed, hitting the virtual gridiron in Madden NFL or locking, loading and gunning down enemy soldiers in Call of Duty.
Some video game franchises pump out a new entry every year without fail.
