14 DAY TRIAL // The reveal of Fallout 4 was one of the high-points of E3 2015, but even if it has been talking about the new title only for a few months, the team at Bethesda believes that it is time to no longer offer details about the story until the November 10 launch date to make sure that gamers will have some surprises when launching the game.
The information comes from Pete Hines, a vice president of public relations and marketing, who believes that the narrative the company has crafted is better experienced inside the game than explored beforehand.
Apparently, Todd Howard, the leader of the Fallout 4 team, would prefer an smaller period between the announcement of a game and launch in order to keep fans as pure as possible.
Hines adds for IGN, "Obviously Bethesda Game Studios has a stellar reputation and it is both a Fallout 3 follow-up as well as a follow up to Skyrim which is well known throughout the world, and Fallout 4 would be something that would have a lot of buzz and noise around it and we didn’t need as long as you might for some other titles to kind of build that interest to launch."
Fallout 4 will expand on the formula of the series
The new game will take place around Boston and the initial reveal has suggested that gamers will be able to explore how life was in the area before the nuclear apocalypse that has forced people to head for the Vaults.
Bethesda has said that the game will be bigger than its predecessors and that it is trying to expand what the open world formula can offer in terms of emotion and gameplay.
Fallout 4 will introduce an entirely new crafting system, designed to allow gamers to put together more than 700 weapon options based on 50 initial models and to even tweak their Power Armor.
Bethesda is also adding the option to create entire settlements, each with their inhabitants and trade routes, and to then work to keep them as safe and as prosperous as possible in the middle of the post-apocalypse.
Fallout 4 can be played on the PC, the Xbox One and the PlayStation 4.
