The player learns about settlements that need help, artificial people known as synths and wants to learn about who took their son. The player wakes up to witness the kidnapping of their spawn and murder of their spouse, because why couldn’t they wake up to anything nice after that happening? The player eventually finds their robot butler Codsworth who informs them of what has happened and advises they travel to Concord, where he meets characters like Piper, Preston Garvey, Detective Valentine and Dogmeat.

The character along with their spouse and child go to the Vault 111 and are forced into cryogenic chambers where they spend the next 210 years.

Fallout 4 does have some issues in VR, but nothing that ruins the journey to the wasteland.Ī quick overview of the plot is the game begins on October 23, 2077, the day bombs fell. The base game of Fallout 4 VR is the same one that came out a couple years ago, so please refer to our review of its initial release for more in-depth information on the actual game as this will be focusing more on the VR aspects. Taking place in Boston in the year 2287, Fallout 4 is the latest entry in the post-apocalyptic RPG franchise that can easily whittle away hundreds of hours of anyone’s life exploring the wasteland while trying to stay under the radar of the relentless Preston Garvey, whose settlements probably exceed the world population from before the Great War.

By taking an established game and putting it in this format, it allows a chance to see how something more familiar might translate and show what potential VR has for gaming along with what areas need to be addressed for optimization. Transferring these titles to VR is a bit more than just a standard port since this involves tweaking of the game mechanics and also presenting it in a completely different medium. This year, and more specifically the past month or so, Bethesda has been looking to the past in order to move forward, as not only did Skyrim get ported to two new formats but we have had three major Bethesda titles enter the world of VR with Skyrim, Doom and now Fallout 4, granting the wish for everyone that who hoped they could live in Fallout’s nuclear wasteland.
