Bethesda is "pretty close to being done" work on Fallout 4

Bethesda Softworks is almost done with Fallout 4 development, and everything is looking good for a fall launch.

"We're pretty close to being done, which you have to be if you're going to ship in five months," said Pete Hines, VP of PR and Marketing at Bethesda, in a statement to GamesRadar.

Hines also noted the overall anticipation for the game, which is why there has been such a short window of game promotion: "If we didn't feel that was enough time to generate the excitement that we expected and the interest that we wanted, then we would have announced it earlier. So part of it is because we felt like it was a big enough title that we could get away with it."

Fallout 4 is scheduled for release on November 10, and will launch for the PC, Microsoft Xbox One, and Sony PlayStation 4.

Here’s a list of smartphones that will fit the Pip-Boy

So Fallout 4 was announced recently, as was the collector’s edition, which comes with a Pip-Boy included, the only downside to which is the fact that you have to supply your own display for it. Now Bethesda has revealed exactly which smartphones will fit in the Pip-Boy edition of Fallout 4.
If you haven’t pre-ordered the collector’s edition just yet then you may want to do it soon if you want that Pip-Boy as it is selling out very fast almost everywhere.

Anyway, if you have a Pip-Boy on the way in November, then you will need a smartphone the size of an iPhone 6, iPhone 5, iPhone 4, Samsung Galaxy S4 or Samsung Galaxy S5. The foam inserts for the Pip-Boy have been measured around these devices specifically but if you have a similarly sized phone then it should fit.
“As we wanted to stay faithful to the dimensions of the in-game model, any smartphones larger than the models listed will not fit inside the wearable device. For these larger devices, our Pip-Boy companion app will still be available”, Bethesda said in its post.
Obviously if you don’t have a pre-order in for the Pip-Boy edition for Fallout 4 then you will still have access to the app, which will allow you to control the in-game pip-boy and its functions.

UK to get more Fallout 4 Pip-Boy Editions for pre-order

Those of us in the UK are going to get one more chance to grab the Pip-Boy Edition of Fallout 4 as GAME has announced that it will have more stock up for sale this week, on Friday the 3rd of July. Pre-orders will be taken in both in-store and online from 9AM but given the limited amount, it is all on a first come first serve basis.
Fallout 4 and its Pip-Boy Edition were revealed at E3 this year. The £100 special edition version of the game comes with a real Pip-Boy for you to wear while you cruise through the wasteland. However, it is important to note that the Pip-Boy does not come with its own screen, you will need to use your smartphone along with the game’s companion app for the full experience.

Not all devices will fit inside of the Pip-Boy and it seems Bethesda has modelled it around a specific set of popular devices. The Pip-Boy will come with placement cut outs for the iPhone 5 and iPhone 6 alongside the Samsung Galaxy S4, S5 and S6, so if you have a phone with a similar screen size to those, then it should work, although larger devices like the Galaxy Note or iPhone 6 Plus won’t fit.
The Fallout 4 Pip-Boy Edition has sold out very quickly. Gamespot in the US got a slight stock boost last week but it is now largely unavailable. The special edition has also sold out in the UK so there is a good chance that this Friday is your last chance to grab one. Game announced that it will have some more stock over on Twitter, HERE.

Pre-Order Fallout 4 on Xbox One, Get Fallout 3 Free

Bethesda has quite the pre-order bonus in store for Xbox One owners who pre-order Fallout 4 through the Xbox Live store. They’ll graciously give you a copy of Fallout 3 for the Xbox 360.

Want to relive those memories of Vault 101 and the Capital Wasteland? Now you can!

According to Bethesda this is only a limited time offer, though there is no end-date listed on their site for this offer. But if you are looking forward to the release of Fallout 4 (and admittedly, who isn’t at least a little roused by it?) then why not enjoy the legendary ARPG that drove the series from cult classic to the phenomenal shooter it became.

The only catch is that while you’ll receive a code in your Xbox Live messages within 7-10 days, that code can only be used on an Xbox 360 due to not having backwards compatibility at the moment. Backwards compatibility is only extended to 21 games thus far, and Fallout 3 just didn’t make the initial cut. When will it arrive on that most magical of lists? Only Phil Spencer can answer that question unfortunately.
Another unfortunate side-effect is that by pre-ordering Fallout 4 on the Xbox Live marketplace you’re paying full price for the game instead of a slight discount. Is the inclusion of Fallout 3 worth the price? It’s quite possible that many haven’t enjoyed the masterpiece that is Fallout 3, though, and a full game of such magnitude could be enough to sway those on the fence and that enjoy the Xbox One as their primary way to enjoy games.

Fallout 4 – Director Todd Howard Talks about Map Size & Loading Screens

Open world games have started to become more seemless experiences, not being interrupted by tiresome loading screens. Batman Arkham Knight is the most recent example of this trend and it appears that the upcoming post apocalyptic open world RPG, Fallout 4, is about to follow suit.

Todd Howard, Fallout 4 director, has stated that there won’t be a loading screen when entering the city of Boston, and there will be a lot of buildings that you can just walk and enter inside seamlessly.
In an interview with DigitalSpy, Howard said regarding the size of Fallout 4:

“I avoid answering that, and I’ll tell you why. If you look at our previous stuff, it’s kind of like that. We don’t actually measure it like that. Because Skyrim is one size, but the mountains take up a lot of space. That’s not really a game place, it’s in your way, you have to go around it, so we’re not really doing that. In the city, it’s very dense, but there is no load – like in Fallout 3, there’s a load – for areas of the city, we don’t do that. So it’s very dense, the buildings are tall, and a lot of them are open, so you can just walk in and around, so… it’s big. I wouldn’t say, you know, if you played Skyrim, I couldn’t tell you it’s X bigger, so we’re just saying it’s about the same size.”

Mod support for Fallout 4 has already been confirmed for PC and Xbox One

Mod support has been already been confirmed for PC, and Xbox One. When asked whether they will be bringing mod support to PS4, Howard stated:

“We will be. Well, we’re going to make every effort to. If Sony says no, we won’t, but I don’t think they will.”
“But, you know, it will come out on PC first. So early 2016, the creation mod for the PC, and then we’re going to make that work on the Xbox One, and then we’re going to do the PS4 version.”

Bethesda has released a new batch of screenshots and artwork for Fallout 4. The images do showcase some impressive visuals with a lot of intricate details.
Bethesda announced that Fallout 4, will hit the shelves for the PS4, Xbox One and PC on November 10, 2015. This confirms the previous rumors that the game would release would release this year. Game Director Todd Howard also revealed that development started right after the release of Fallout 3, with the studio being fully dedicated to the tile during the last four years.
Fallout 4, begins before the nuclear fallout, and the world looks absolutely beautiful. The title features full physically based rendering and dynamic volumetric lighting.

The Fallout 4 Pip-Boy Edition Is selling like crazy, and even though it appears to be a bit “silly”, its definitely the best kind of silly.
As Todd Howard stated during the Bethesda’s E3 2015 press conference:

“The Pip-Boy is important part of Fallout, and we love it so much that we made a real one,” He said. “Yes, you can put your phone in it, and yes, we made an app for it so it works with the game, and yes it’s a second screen experience. Usually I find second-screen experiences to be stupid gimmicks, but as far as stupid gimmicks goes, this is the best f—–g one I’ve ever seen.”

We will bring you any news about Fallout 4, as soon as it becomes available.

Fallout 4 – How Skyrim’s Bugs Helped Improve the Wasteland

Open world games, with hundreds of missions and miles of terrain tend to have their share of bugs at launch, and even the genre leaders like Rockstar and Bethesda had faced several issues. Bethesda Studios had some particular technical problems like crippling framerate issues with the Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim on the PlayStation 3.

In an interview with Game Informer, Fallout 4 director Todd Howard, explains that Skyrim’s popularity and the sheer volume of player data in the game created challenges to troubleshooting bugs in the open world.

“It probably took us a month or two before we really had a handle on it. The team had to decide how it was going to identify problems before it could figure out how they happened or why they surfaced at particular times.
“All of the updates we did on Skyrim, and all of the DLC – once we sorted [the bugs out] we had a different process for how we checked the content out,”
“There will always be some problems.”
“I think we’ve gotten way better there,” he says. “For us, [the player’s] saved game is the number one thing. If the game crashes that’s bad, but it is nowhere near as bad as someone’s saved game being hosed. That’s our scenario that we will do anything and everything to avoid. We made a lot of progress given how Skyrim went, but we did it during Skyrim. This just builds on that.”

Mod support for Fallout 4 has already been confirmed for PC and Xbox One

Mod support has been already been confirmed for PC, and Xbox One. When asked whether they will be bringing mod support to PS4, Howard stated:

“We will be. Well, we’re going to make every effort to. If Sony says no, we won’t, but I don’t think they will.”

Fallout 4 Combat Flaunted In Updated Video, Gruesome Violence As Expected

A newer version of the footage of Fallout 4’s combat sequences has bee published by Bethesda. The action-packed trailer shows combat as bloody and violent as ever.

Fallout 4’s action can be either fast or deliberately slow to cause the most amount of suffering.

V.A.T.S. is a most impressive system, especially in the first-person perspective. The ability to select the specific portion of an enemy and roll the virtual dice has combined with the extensible damage modeling means that there is a lot of havoc to wreak. It was always quite fascinating to shoot off the limbs of your enemies just to see what happened in 3, so Fallout 4 should prove interesting indeed.
The above action sequences have already been seen before, mostly in Bethesda’s E3 conference. But it’s been updated to include only the parts worth seeing, sans dialogue. Some individuals are even reporting a difference in gun animations as well, with better looking gunplay. Looking at the Bethesda E3 conference footage, it appears to be the same. Regardless, it’s always enjoyable seeing the fantastic damage system of the Fallout series. V.A.T.S. is looking fantastic as ever too.

The best part was watching as the protagonist loaded a teddy bear into his weapon that exploded the Raider Scavver’s head on contact. Truly a memorable moment.

Controversy still exists surrounding the apparent lackluster graphics first presented with the Fallout 4 announcement trailer. It just didn’t quite look that much better than Fallout 3. Recent screenshots and footage have shown a marked, though not truly significant, improvement in graphical quality. Certainly the addition of a broader color pallet will be highly appreciated by fans.
Fallout 4 releases November 10th 2015 on the PS4, Xbox One and PC. You can pre-order it now, just don’t expect to find the Pip-Boy edition for MSRP anymore.

Fallout 4 voice acting took 2 years, 13,000 lines of dialogue

Fallout 4 has kept voice actors Brian Delaney and Courtenay Taylor quite busy, with more than 13,000 lines of dialogue recorded over the past two years. There is a large amount of hype and gamer excitement regarding Fallout 4, and it's great to see Bethesda apparently taking things seriously.

image: http://imagescdn.tweaktown.com/news/...s-dialogue.jpg

It's an interesting addition to Fallout 4, as it's going to be fully voiced, with gamers able to choose a male or female character. It has been a logistical process for Bethesda, but will offer unique playability for gamers. Here is what game director Todd Howard recently told the Telegraph:

"We were lucky to find two great voice actors. And it's interesting because she may read things or act things differently than he does. So scenes play out differently depending on whether you are playing the game as male or female."

More Fallout Details Revealed at Quakecon 2015

Bethesda was more than happy to show off some more juicy details about Fallout 4 during Quakecon this year. The release is impending, so that means even more details to help increase interest and help build up the hype.

Fallout 4 has an immense perk system and a dozen different human companions to romance.

The regular perk system is going to have a total of 70 different perks starting out, up from 58 in Fallout 3. Within those there are a total of 275 different levels spread among the different perks. Oddly, in total there were 72 regular perks with all the add-on’s in Fallout 3 (88 regular within Fallout: New Vegas and 117 total with all the add-ons).
In-game there’ll be a total of 12 different companions that you can meet. Should you feel particularly perky, you can try your hand at starting a post apocalyptic romance with any one of the human companions, regardless of their, or your, gender. Companions are also optional. Why not try to survive on your own out there? So far we know of Piper, Dog Meat, Mr. Handy and Garvey.
Bethesda made great use of motion capture for Fallout 4. So a lot of animations are going to look more fluid and natural compared to Fallout 3. You’ll also find procedural generation used to help make speech movements more natural looking for each different face model. The polygonal mouth will use a seed that is associated to certain sounds to try to emulate that better.
Advertisements

And being that there is more motion capture being utilized, the canine companion, Dog Meat, is actually physically modeled after the lead designers own dog. They filmed and did their own motion capture to make sure that Dog Meat looks and acts like a dog should, hoping to make it more convincing. Thankfully he’s discovered fairly early, and can be quite a useful and daring companion indeed.
Fallout 4 is coming soon, set for a release date of November 10th 2015 for the PS4, Xbox One and the PC. We’re incredibly excited to see the prequel to the Fallout series of games, giving insight into the actual events that precipitated hiding away in the precious Vaults. Despite the perceived graphical downgrade, it might turn out to be one of the better games this year.

Bethesda considered Boston as Fallout 4 location years ago

Fallout 4 location in Boston was in the works for years (NASDAQ:MSFT, NYSE

Bethesda may have waited until June to announce Fallout 4, but the studio had a great interest in having the game take place in Boston for years now. In fact, the location was decided before Skyrim was released in 2011, and developers started thinking about Bean Town in 2008.

image: http://imagescdn.tweaktown.com/news/...-years-ago.jpg

"Long ago... Pre-Skyrim. The ideas for Fallout 4 started right after Fallout 3 and have gotten worked on and been percolated since 2008," said Pete Hines, VP of Marketing at Bethesda, in a statement to GameSpot. "We're talking about its infancy, we're talking about jotting some stuff down, we're talking about, 'I want to do it in Massachusetts, and have it be about this, this, and this."

Fallout 4 game development started after Skyrim had been supported "for several years," and the studio was comfortable moving on to the next project.

Fallout 4 is scheduled for release on November 10, and will be available for the PC, Microsoft Xbox One, and Sony PlayStation 4.

Bethesda promises Fallout 4 will have more customization than Skyrim

Bethesda wants to give gamers an enjoyable - and customizable experience - while playing Fallout 4, and won't rely on just pre-determined frameworks to get the job done.

image: http://imagescdn.tweaktown.com/news/...ion-skyrim.jpg

If you remember purchasing a house in Skyrim, there was a minimum amount of customization available to gamers. That apparently won't be the case in Fallout 4:

"It's not just, 'Hey, here's Breezehome [one of the houses in Skyrim],' where we just picked a house, and you can buy it, and you can go to somebody and say, 'Here's this much gold, and put this thing into my house.'" said Pete Hines, VP of Marketing at Bethesda, in a statement to GameSpot. "[In Fallout 4] it's, 'Now I'm building it, I'm actually building the house, I'm building the wall, I'm placing the door, I made the table, I made the mattress.' It's that sense of making your own way in the world and defining, 'Who am I and where do I live and what's my story in this world?"

In Fallout 4, actual physical locations for buildings will be limited, but what gamers can do with their purchased buildings is much more flexible. "There are preset locations around the world where you can [build]. You can definitely build up... [in one demo] there's a radio tower, and the developer that built it just kept going up and incorporating the tower into their structure."

Fallout 4 is scheduled for release on November 10, and will be available for the PC, Microsoft Xbox One, and Sony PlayStation 4.

Bethesda Can’t Produce More Fallout 4 Pip-Boy Editions Despite Fan Outcry

Fans of the Fallout franchise are eagerly awaiting the release of Fallout 4, and if you were lucky enough to secure a pre-order for the Fallout 4 Pip-Boy Edition, pat yourself on the back on a job well done. You may also want to gloat on Twitter and/or send your condolences to everyone else who missed out on the $119 bundle, because when Bethesda warned that quantities would be very limited, it wasn't kidding.

Retailers are sold out of the Fallout 4 Pip-Boy Edition bundle, and no, Bethesda won't be producing more of them. It's not because Bethesda doesn't want to, it's because the company can't. Demand was so high for the special edition bundle that Bethesda simply ran out of capacity to produce more.

"We reached a point where we'd go back to the factories and they were like, 'Guys, this is it, sorry. This is as long as we can run the lines and as many of them as we can make'," Bethesda's Marketing VP Pete Hines told GameSpot.

Put another way, this isn't an artificial shortage. Bethesda would love to offer more, but as it stands, the factories producing these things are not only at capacity, they're still building product to meet the repeated increased orders that Bethesda placed. They've even had to shuffle things around by moving projects off or shifting them to other factories, according to Hines.

"I keep seeing stuff about, 'Oh, you only did a few thousand'," Hines added. "No -- we did a ton of these things. I think we did more of these things than we did for any collector's edition we've ever done, ever."

If you missed out on the Fallout 4 Pip-Boy Edition but still want a collectible, you can either pay the inflated prices that will inevitably show up on eBay, or keep your eyes peeled for Bethesda's Fallout Anthology, a $50 package that will include Fallout, Fallout 2, Fallout Tactics, Fallout 3: Game of the Year Edition, and Fallout New Vegas: Ultimate Edition in a collectible Fan Man mini-nuke. No, it doesn't come with Fallout 4, but the mini-nuke is pretty rad, and it includes a placeholder for Fallout 4, should you order it on disc.
