Without my bum knee and the inevitable sweatiness of the Vive headset, I could keep playing for hours more. Really, the only thing pulling me out of the VR experience is my knee beginning to hurt from standing on a hard floor for several hours at a stretch, but chalk that up to my old, shitty body and not to Fallout 4 VR. Fallout 4 VR feels right just about all the time.

I'm not one who feels motion sickness in VR, but it can sometimes be jarring or uncomfortable when something doesn't feel right. I feel some of the wonder in a new way: watching the massive vault door roll open, looking up at Diamond City's gate as it rises for the first time, seeing ghouls and deathclaws lunging right in my face. Opening containers works like it does in the regular game, which doesn't do much for immersion or giving you the feeling that you can really reach out, touch things, interact.īut it's still a highly playable game in VR. The author of this thread has indicated that this post answers the original topic. That is a more immersive scenario, as well. You can pick up items in Fallout 4 VR, but you don't see yourself holding anything, they just float there. As an alternative, you could use the PipBoy App on another device. I've spent some time recently playing Rick and Morty: Virtual Rick-ality, so I'm used to using my virtual hands to pull open virtual drawers and cabinets, and holding and turning items over while seeing a representation of my real mitts in front of my face. Obviously, Fallout 4 VR hasn't been built from the ground up for a headset, and sometimes you can really feel it. Apart from being a couple of inches taller, and having a new HUD attached to your vision, it doesn't really feel any different than running around without it. Wearing power armor is another feature that doesn't feel quite like it should in VR. Building elements appear nicely over one hand, as if they were little spinning holograms you were holding, and placing them is done with the other controller, though navigating the menus is much easier in the standard fashion than with the touchpads. Both editions will be available on Xbox One, PS4. The workshop experience is a bit clunky in VR, too (to be fair, it was already a bit clunky to begin with). Along with a real world version of Fallout’s infamous Pip-Boy, it will also contain Fallout 4: Game of the Year Edition and retails at 99.99. Having a quick look at something, easy with mouse and keyboard, takes a good deal longer with the controllers. But considering how often you use your Pip-Boy, it begins to feel like a bit of a chore after a while.

At first it's cool to hold your wrist up to your face to activate the screen (it enlarges automatically, though since you have no arms it's just sort of floating there) and scrolling through the options using the directional pad works okay after a little practice. The Pip-Boy, unfortunately, doesn't translate quite as well.
