14 DAY TRIAL // The biggest announcement coming from the official press conference at E3 2015 is that Fallout 4 is set to be launched on November 10 on the PC, the Xbox One and the PlayStation 4, sooner than most fans of the title expected.
The team in charge of the title at Bethesda has also revealed that it is offering a special version of the experience that will include a full, real-world version of the Pip-Boy that the franchise has made famous since it was launched.
The replica is entirely wearable, has a RobCo Industries stand, a custom printed capsule and lights that draw power from a separate supply.
Gamers can insert their smartphones in the Pip-Boy replica, using customized foam inserts to adjust for the most popular models, and then the device becomes a second screen companion that can be used to manage character inventory and perks and to get access to holotapes and other info about the world of Fallout 4.
Gamers who get the special edition of the game also receive a Pip-Boy pocket guide, which offers advice on use and maintenance, and a Vault-Tec perk poster.
Finally, the package includes a power armor collectible with metal packaging.
The new version of the game is not cheap, but fans will probably move fast to get it
Those who want the Pip-Boy edition for Fallout 4 will need to pay 119.99 dollars in the United States, 129.99 Euro in Europe, and 99.99 British Pounds in the United Kingdom, which is relatively expensive.
Bethesda also says that it is only producing a limited number of the special version of the post-apocalyptic game, so those who want a copy should place a pre-order to secure one, with Amazon already out of stock.
Fallout 4 will get players into the shoes of the lone survivor of Vault 111, who is now able to explore a large open world built around Boston.
Bethesda has revealed an extensive set of building and crafting mechanics, designed to allow players to create settlements and unique weapons that suit their play style.
The studio is also promising an improved dialog system, which no longer locks players into certain answers, and the VATS combat system is improved to make it easier for players to deliver killing strikes.
More details on perks, core mechanics and the story of Fallout 4 will be offered in the coming months.
