ITS going to be amazingly immersive in VR!!! i can actually going into the fallout 4 world and play the game???? WOW WOW WOW!!! Im really thinking about buying a VR headset now for sure. I also heard that Doom is coming out for VR too so thats unlimited gameplay online in VR plus singleplayer!!!!

joab7772624d ago

Wanna see the graphics and dreamer are but yeah, I'm psyched! This is a VR seller for sure! I'm just happy with its Pro update, which makes a HUGE difference in 4k.

fr0sty2624d ago (Edited 2624d ago )

Doom would be a vomit-fest for most people. You really have to give yourself time in VR to be able to play games that have that much motion in them. The whole walking without feeling your body actually being affected by gravity like it does when you really walk can make you nauseous. Running is way worse. That's why most VR games that do let you move around freely without being in some sort of vehicle usually make you walk at a snail's pace.

This is coming from someone who doesn't get sick easily in VR... I've never had to stop playing from feeling sick, but I have at times felt that nausea feeling creeping in, and could tell if I was moving much faster it would make me feel ill. Other friends of mine were yanking the headset off after 5 minutes because they couldn't handle it. Motion in VR has to be handled with care.

UnHoly_One2624d ago

Yeah the crazy fast motion and double jumping of Doom would probably create quite a few queasy stomachs.

toddybad2623d ago

Yeah i get vr sickness very easily unfortunately so its slowly slowly for me. Not everybody is affected though.

Money-Mike2624d ago (Edited 2624d ago )

Can't wait to play this on Scorpio

SaveFerris2624d ago

Possible system seller, though the cost of entry is pretty high (console + headset).

LexHazard792624d ago

If you bought a PS4 Pro +PSVR combo, Vive or a Rift. All cost good money..

Money-Mike2624d ago

Sorry I fail to see where "luck" is relevant here?

DeadlyOreo2624d ago Show
S2Killinit2624d ago (Edited 2624d ago )

Well luck sorta is relevant because we don't even know if Scorpio will have a proper VR option, and even if it does, it will have a zero install base at launch making it unlikely that a developer will put a lot of time and resources toward Scorpio VR games. but if your lucky MS is working on a cash deal with developer.

Aenea2624d ago

Doubtful that is going to happen.

We don't know if and how the Scorpio is going to support VR and getting a game like this, which can barely hit 30fps to run at 90fps takes a lot more power than even the Scorpio has unless they sacrifice a lot of graphical fidelity...

Money-Mike2624d ago

Please tell me more about the internal specs and capabilities of the Scorpio. Inquiring minds would love to know.

Liqu1d2624d ago

@Money-Mike Please tell me about the internal specs and capabilities of the Scorpio. Since you can't wait to play to play Fallout in VR on the Scorpio I'm sure you know the specs.

Aenea is right. No one knows if the Scorpio will get Fallout VR right now so pipe down, stop getting defensive when someone makes a sensible comment and wait for official confirmation.

UnHoly_One2624d ago

I don't really care about VR, so I don't have a horse in this race, but when Bethesda first announced Fallout in VR, didn't they mention the Scorpio?

I thought that was their intention all along. I don't know, maybe I just don't remember it correctly.

Money-Mike2624d ago (Edited 2624d ago )

Lmao Oreo you're hilarious. You're one of those guys. Ok buddy. Sorry I had no idea E3 2017 has come and gone, I had no idea you knew what games were and weren't in development. I had no idea you knew what games were launching with the Scorpio. Sorry next time I'll have more respect for the time traveler

generic-user-name2624d ago

"Can't wait to play this on Scorpio"

" Sorry I had no idea E3 2017 has come and gone, I had no idea you knew what games were and weren't in development. I had no idea you knew what games were launching with the Scorpio."

Aren't you being a hypocrite?

MoonConquistador2623d ago

And a douchebag. They usually pair up those two

zivtheawesome2624d ago

sadly the leaked specs of the scorpio seems to indicate that it wouldn't be possible.

Fishy Fingers2624d ago (Edited 2624d ago )

Huh? They've confirmed it's VR capable (just like any device with video out) and the leak specs should easily run F4 @ 1080p (mostly ultra settings) 80+ FPS average (and that's considering PC level optimisation not console).

Either way, people are getting way to worked up for something that's still a ways away (Scorpio or F4 VR).

Aenea2624d ago

@Fishy

F4 currently has trouble hitting 30fps and for VR it will need to hit 90fps and do it without frame drops. Yes, they can do that but they will need to downgrade the graphics. And if they are planning to use Rift/Vive than there's the issue of more pixels to render as well.

So yes, I don't see it happen without compromises or trickery...

Artemidorus2623d ago

Think that applies to yourself and the topic in hand, as I said it's not April 1St yet.

christocolus2624d ago

@Money-Mike

It is definitely coming to Scorpio. It was hinted at by Tod Howard in the Scorpio reveal video last year. He even mentions Fallout 4 VR in the same video.

zivtheawesome2624d ago

they said they are trying. not will be in scorpio for sure.

S2Killinit2624d ago (Edited 2624d ago )

Well by then I think we will already be playing it on PSVR since it's ready and all. Unless it's sticking to PC only.

Just the locomotion to figure out? Only the most difficult bit to go then...

How To Solve Fallout 4 Next-Gen Update Performance Issue On OLED Steam Deck

Despite being verified for the Steam Deck, Fallout 4 has issues running on the OLED version of Valve's handheld device. Here's how it works.

Isn't this a better and easier work around?...

There is a partial workaround that adds the Fallout 4 launcher back  ;to the Steam Deck version of the game. Players need to add “SteamDeck=0 %command%” to Fallout 4’s launch options in the game’s settings on Steam Deck. But it’s wild and not great that players have to do this just to change visual settings while playing on Valve’s portable PC.

Fallout 4 next-gen upgrade woes continue for some PS Plus users

Some PS Plus subscribers can now access the next-gen version of Fallout 4 after Bethesda addressed concerns on Thursday, but others have still been left in the cold.

yup, worked for me a few hours ago

MrDead2d ago

This update on PC kills mods, they still didn't improve or fix the draw calls and if you have an RTX card the game still crashes unless you turn off debris.
So if you mod the game it now looks worse, plays worse, all of your saves are broken and the game breaking bugs are still present.

purple1012d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Good work detective

Bethesda strikes again, always thought their games were a tad boring anyway, this was even before Microsoft brought them. Used to quake 3 team arena to death, on an old pc, at the time it was new, fresh, fast paced and innovative, their games these days, are none-of-the-above

Michiel19891d 15h ago

Ever heard of a game called Doom or Wolfenstein, detective?
Also quake 3 arena was made by ID, which at the time wasn't part of Bethesda.

Profchaos1d 18h ago

Yeah I've had friends rebuy the game because the ps plus didn't work and they used to own the last gen version sold off the physical after the PS plus pack included fallout when they got the ps5.

So overall I know ms has likely warned quote a bit from this error.

Barlos1d 10h ago

This game hasn't aged well. I was really looking forward to the update, but I'm just not enjoying it. I never did get on with the settlement building and raiders, and I still don't. I won't be going back to this now.

mkis0071d 8h ago (Edited 1d 8h ago )

Settlement stuff was way undercooked. Too many settlements and QOL updates are needed, and can only be added by mods...which disable achievements. The game does 2 things better than past games: Gunplay and scavenging.

Profchaos1d 6h ago (Edited 1d 6h ago )

Have to agree settlement stuff was boring and dull but I loved the game outside of that still do. But next to other games is it's era like witcher 3 it always felt a little stuck in the mid 2000s

anast1d 5h ago (Edited 1d 5h ago )

They aren't really missing much. I've been playing it for awhile and it's just a polished turd. Low effort, hyped up like a full release.

Fallout 4 Next-Gen Update Has A Bugged Out Quality Mode On Xbox Series X|S

The next-gen update for Bethesda Game Studios' Fallout 4 currently has a bugged out Quality mode on Xbox Series X|S.

anast2d ago

Ha! They messed up the Xbox upgrade.

GamerRN1d 23h ago

It's not messed up. This mode runs 60fps 1440p with ultra settings. If you want to see the other modes, disable 1440p somehow.

anast1d 5h ago

The S doesn't have ultra settings.

Ironmike2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

They have and they haven't just download 60fps and ultra setting mod and gane looks great

attilayavuzer1d 23h ago

Guess we're stuck with 60fps

GamerRN1d 22h ago

And Ultra Settings ... @1440p. It's working as expected. There is a star that states in the patch notes that if 1440p is available, quality mode will stay in 60fps 1440p with ultra settings.

Barlos1d 22h ago (Edited 1d 22h ago )

Surely not! Bugs with something from Bethesda? Get outta here!

Father__Merrin1d 11h ago

I noticed that performance mode on or off both 60fps which is best mode to use then?

BeRich2331d 11h ago

"On" does seem to perform better too me.
