Fallout 4

Playing any Fallout game is an immersion into an open world. After surviving nuclear fallout and waking up in a vault, you find yourself in a dystopian wasteland trying to survive. We’re looking forward to seeing more of what the world of Fallout is all about as the story develops further with Fallout 4.

Fallout provides an awesome and unique experience for any gamer, and Fallout 4 is expected to be a step up. You’ll have more customization of your character, more FPS style gameplay, deeper immersion into role-playing, settlements to build and much more.

Full on Character Customization and Leveling

Design your male or female characters exactly the way you want them. With Fallout 4 we can expect to see more freedom in choosing how characters will look like.

You’ll also be able to level up by gaining experience points like the previous fallout games. The difference here will be the speed at which you grow. Hopefully leveling up will be smoother with Fallout 4. The new leveling style will come with a similar Perks system to the previous games. These are advancements you can select for your character in areas of Strength, Perception, Endurance, Charisma, Intelligence, Agility and Luck. You can definitely develop your own unique style by selecting which areas you want your character to be stronger.

Gameplay


Bethesda has decided to enhance nearly every aspect of the previous Fallout games with their new release. The first person shooter (FPS) gameplay will be designed to feel just like the best FPS games out there. Role-playing will also take a deeper feel as players will be able to customize weapon builds more than ever before, and be able to interact with nearly everything in their environment. We’re also expecting to see more customization of the settlements you build.

Updated Graphics for Fallout 4

The development team at Bethesda Game Studios has designed Fallout 4 in their Creation Engine, which is the same one they used for their Elder Scrolls Games, with new advancements of course. This decision was made to allow for greater artistic influence in rendering a more realistic and immersive environment. Environments will be affected by the elements to a much larger degree than before. By the looks of it, the new graphics engine is sure to make any gamer want to explore the world of Fallout and get immersed into the realism of the game.

While console users will be limited to 1080 and 30fps, PC users will enjoy resolutions and frames only limited by their rigs.
