Todd Howard Talks 'Fallout 4 VR': "I Assure You, V.A.T.S. in VR is Awesome"

Yes, it's still happening – and it will be the whole game. Bethesda originally announced that it was working on a virtual reality version of Fallout 4 at its E3 2016 media event and showed off a brief but limited experimental demo that illustrated the potential of the idea. When we spoke to Bethesda Game Studios executive producer Todd Howard in November, he told us "that’s the promise of VR, being in a big virtual world.

This sounds perfect. I think RE: 7 proved you can do VR in a full 1st person game, though I would think that an over the shoulder view would be equally as fun.

I just don't want devs to eliminate ideas because we aren't running around our living rooms. Let me move with my joystick.

Can't wait to try it I'm afraid that it may not come to psvr though which would be a shame because I'm sure the pro could support it maybe not the base model. And i would need to upgrade my gaming rig to play if it was pc only and pay for a vive

That is the only downside to PsVR IMO, that everything has to run on the og ps4 too. So far so good, but it could stop some things from getting on the system down the line.

freshslicepizza2642d ago

i expect a deal is being made with microsoft for scorpio. people will say thats why it wont be on psvr but i just dont think it would run well on a regular ps4 and they dont want to bother. this is one of the downsides to sony's decision to mandate no ps4 pro exclusives. when games have to run at higher frame rates and some games already getting to low resolutions to be playabble on psvr this game is just too taxing on the system to have a smooth enough experience.

Goldby2642d ago

Its probably gonna be timed exlcusive if not full exclusive for scorpio. They were talking about it in the scorpio video

How nice of them to give us more control over graphical settings as a way to *completely* avoid taking accountability for the broken Xbox settings.

bondsmx1d 10h ago

Well, I still crashed like 5 times last night within two hours. So there’s that.

I had to stop. The game is not good. I'd rather play Skyrim and that game isn't that good either.

I Think It's About Time We Realize Fallout 4 Wasn't That Bad

Ahmed from eXputer: "2015's Fallout 4 received harsh criticism upon launching, but I think it was unwarranted and the game deserves more praise than it got."

helicoptergirl6d ago

It was totally that bad. I couldn't finish the campaign it was so bland and boring as I recall. Got so sick of it. 1000 stimpaks on hard. It is very rare that I play half a game and then just quit. I usually always finish it. But i was so bored with this game I just stopped and never went back and never regretted it. Just thinking about that game makes me shudder

Furesis6d ago

That's exactly what happened to me too lmao
Fallout 4 is not a fallout game period it's a bethesda game

Vits6d ago

The comparison with Skyrim is mind-boggling. Yes, Skyrim has streamlined many of the systems that Morrowind introduced. However, it did not tamper with the core of the Elder Scrolls franchise; it did not diminish the freedom and sense of exploration that made Bethesda RPGs famous. Fallout 4, on the other hand, did exactly that to the Fallout series. It eliminated what made Fallout such a beloved series to play. There are no consequences for your choices, no reason to explore, and barely any interesting set pieces in the game.

It's not terrible, but it's a painfully mediocre game in a franchise that typically doesn't produce such mediocrity. So that is why people see it as bad, the bar is just much higher.

anast6d ago

They both feel the same because they are, it's just that one has swords and magic and the other has swords and guns.

anast6d ago

I'm replaying it now. It sucks. I'm about 30 hours in and thinking about quitting again. I am so tired of the dialogue I just spam a random button because it doesn't matter. The upgrade just feels like a graphical mod, everything else is not good.

Good-Smurf6d ago (Edited 6d ago )

I couldn't play the game as-is it was insanely boring and grindy and the grind itself are not fun at all.
Mods helped me stomach the game a bit better but after a while I just stopped playing and uninstalled it because the game did nothing after the first few hours to give me any motivation to keep playing it, it just became a mindless looter shooter with obsession in settlement building and defending.
Compared to F3 and FNV, F4 was barely a mediocre game it wasn't bad but it's also very forgettable entry.

MrDead6d ago

It's not that bad after 300+ mods that fix it's issues and make the game fun... but lets not talk about mods right now as they are f****d.
