Fallout 4 was released in November 2015 and immediately proved a massive commercial success, topping the U.K. All Format Charts as the third biggest launch of the year so far. The game went on to sell over five million copies in its first week alone, with sales of the PS4 version of the title outpacing the Xbox One edition.
One a more light-hearted note, Fallout 4 was blamed for a noticeable dip in traffic for the adult entertainment website, PornHub, during the game’s launch. The game supports Remote Play, allowing you to take your adventure on the go with PlayStation Vita—and it runs very well on Sony’s handheld, too.
Fallout 4 takes place in Boston, U.S., some 200 years after a nuclear war devastated the country, and like Fallout 3, players will emerge from the confines of the Vault to a post-apocalyptic wasteland inhabited by feral creatures and other hazards. Fallout 4 utilizes the Creation Engine, which was previously responsible for powering The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim on last-generation consoles, though it has been modified for new hardware. Unlike previous entries in the Fallout franchise, this latest title will include full voice acting for the player character, the ‘Sole Survivor,’ and feature branching dialogue paths similar to the Mass Effect series.
