Bethesda touts ‘Fallout 4’ milestones
Bethesda also said that the Pip-Boy Edition of the game, which bundled the game with a replica of the absurdly large wrist-mounted computer characters wear, has sold out. I ask them what the game is about, what makes Fallout so appealing to its fans, and, ultimately, if they’re having any fun playing it. No word on how Fallout 4 is faring in Xbox One sales, but Fallout 4 is definitely crushing it in Windows PC sales via Steam.
Despite all of the comparatively new content, the hidden mini-games, the companion app, and the integrated character creation, Fallout 4’s take on Boston does feel like a lonely place, at least initially.
Twitch reported that the game was the most viewed launch amongst games released during 2015.
Bethesda Softworks and Bethesda Game Studios have been hard at work on launching Fallout 4 and the game finally hit retailers this past Tuesday. What’s Fallout 4? It’s a very good game made for people who have a lot of time-right now-to binge on video games for hours at a time.
It’ll come as no surprise, but Fallout 4 was such a hugely anticipated game that it appears everyone purchased on day one. Representing in excess of $750 million in sales, but not actually translating to actual physical consumer sales, and that number doesn’t take any digital sales into account. Luckily, Bethesda’s Todd Howard has recently gone to the public to shed a few light on this subject and has revealed that fans’ feedback will play a vital role in the development of the DLCs.
It’s been a great year for role-playing games, thanks to Bethesda and CD Projekt Red. Super Mutants, Ghouls, and familiar creatures from the Fallout series are returning, as the timeline of the game itself coincides with that of Fallout 3, simply set with a new protagonist and a new environment; with all new political tensions and regional problems throughout the Commonwealth area.
“Fallout Shelter” is described by its creators as “a post-nuclear strategy and simulation experience that puts you in control of a state-of-the-art underground Vault” similar to fictional survival bunkers depicted in the video game franchise from which the application sprang. Every second is a fight for survival, and every choice is yours. After their trust is earned, players gain access to a new “workshop” system, which enables them to build structures, infrastructure, decorations and defenses. Welcome home. Fallout 4 is rated M for Mature by the ESRB.
