Fallout 4 will launch for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC on November 10 this year, Bethesda announced during its E3 press conference this evening.
The game will be available in both a standard and “Pip Boy” editions. The latter includes a real Pip Boy that fits your phone. And there’s an app you can download that works with Fallout 4 as a second-screen experience. The app uses the same code as the in-game Pip Boy. Of course, if you don’t get the Pip Boy Edition, you can still download the app and use it.
A gameplay demo shown tonight opened with character creation. You can play as a male or a female, and to create a character, players simply select a part of the face and sculpt them—there are no sliders. The opening is set in the pre-apocalypse. You’re with your wife or husband in a retro-inspired home and robot butler, Codsworth. Your crying baby is in the other room. The player is visited by a Vault-Tec representative and asked to sign a registration form to guarantee a spot in the Vault. But then, panic ensues as reports come in that there was a nuclear bombing in New York, and everyone rushes to the vault. Then a bomb drops where you are.
The gameplay then skips ahead. You are the sole survivor of Vault 111, which you emerge from 200 years later. Exploration ensues as the player roams the world to encounter his former butler robot. Eventually, he comes across a dog, which he takes in as his own.
Another skip brings us to the player finding a Pip Boy, which becomes his. There’s a layered armor system, hollow tapes you can listen to, and even game taps you can play (one is basically Donkey Kong).
Your player will also be able to build his or her own settlement. Your character can scrap materials from the game world and use those materials to rebuild in real-time. As your settlement grows, more people will arrive and help it grow further. You’ll want to build defenses, as raiders will most definitely attack. Bethesda notes that this is an optional part of the game.
In addition to settlement building, there are other things you can modify, too. There are over 50 base weapons and over 700 modifications for those weapons. And you can even modify your own power armor.
Fallout 4 runs on a next-generation version of Bethesda Softworks’ Creation Engine, and features full physical-based rendering and dynamic volumetric lighting. The studio promises the most detailed and ambitious game world its ever made, culminated in the ruins of Boston.
