Fallout 4 Detailed and Dated at Bethesda's E3 Showcase
After an official announcement a few short weeks ago, Fallout 4 received an extensively detailed stage demonstration at Bethesda's first ever E3 Showcase. To close out their presentation, the publisher revealed that the newest entry in the Fallout series will be available on November 10, 2015 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. Lead designer Todd Howard calls the title the largest and most detailed in the studio's history.
A special 'Pip Boy' edition was also revealed, which comes with an actual Pip Boy that players can use with a companion app on their mobile phones. The app works as a second-screen experience that can be used to navigate the user interface much like the in-game pip boy. (The app can also be used without the Pip Boy, of course.)
Fallout 4 introduces fully featured character creation, including the option play as a man or a woman. Also featured are much more extensive crafting, building, and creation tools - in which you can even build your own home on the wasteland. Weapon creation also has been further developed, including over 50 base weapons and over 700 modifications for those weapons. Every item in the game has its use in these overhauled crafting systems.
Check out the screenshots, gameplay, and press release below.
