Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Here’s what Fallout 4 and Doom are like in VR”.
So earlier this week, at EC Bethesda announced that two of its biggest things were coming to virtual reality: that’s fallout 4 and the new doom. So this was kind of a dream of people who arranged a virtual reality. You can just put on a headset boot up your favorite game and enter the world, but instead of using the normal game pad you’re, actually using vibe and motion control, so we get to check it out. Oh, so I am right by the gas station very early and fallout 4 and right now, a lot of I’m sorry shoot something shooting at me just decide, I’m sorry! So they wouldn’t.
Let us shoot the screen for any of this, and these games are still very very rough, but we managed to get in and play something that actually feels like. It could be turned into something real, very sad that you can’t pet. The dog you ran away, but it is really neat to be able to teleport around this followed is the more complete of the games and they’ve actually promised.
You will be able to play VR fallout next year. They can put you in something that is definitely the fallout world and you can move around at my teleporting. You can look at your pip-boy and interact with it using the vibe controller and you can shoot what you can’t do is pretty much anything else. You can’t talk to people, you can’t craft and we didn’t really get to go beyond this. One. Very small part of the world, so these are things that are going to be kind of difficult to do and if they do them wrong, then it could really mess up the game, but it does give you a new perspective on fallout.
So the big difference between the our follow up for a normal fallout 4 is that you’re a lot more deliberate in here in the wasteland and fallout 4. There’S a tendency to run around really quickly to just try to cover as much ground as you can to try to find that one tiny things out there somewhere I mean here. I have to think about absolutely everywhere that I move so just going like here clicking through this. I have to actually sort of pay attention to my surroundings in a way that I think it probably wouldn’t otherwise. Is that something you won in an open world game where everything’s really spread out? I don’t know, but it is interesting. Oh god, the cyber demons huge doom – we don’t know if there’s actually going to be a full game there and what you get are a lot of short experiences. The most fun one is basically a shooting gallery, where you’re in a hallway and you’re, taking down demons with your gun and a grenade. So we’re going to hear more about this at QuakeCon, but they definitely seem committed to making it something more. And I like shooting galleries a lot I’d be pretty happy if they did that see how far I can throw this grenade. So there’s a lot of dangers of porting a game badly to virtual reality. Obviously you could get sick, but if it also just not be very much fun, it could not fit the format of the game and we’ve already been promised to be our doom and had that fall through a few years ago. So now it’s kind of anyone’s guess.
As to whether they’ll be able to nail down those last bits of the puzzle – and there are very many of them – but if they do what’s a huge deal for virtual reality and hopefully we’ll hear more about in the coming up – you .
