Fallout 4 Gun Gameplay Built With Doom Dev's Help
Id Software assisted Bethesda on firearms combat.
 
Doom and Rage developer Id Software is said to have helped Bethesda to improve gunplay for its upcoming open-world RPG Fallout 4.
 
In a video recorded at E3 2015, but only recently published, game director Todd Howard discussed the evolution of the game's shooting.
 
"If you were to pick it up and play [Fallout 4], it does feel like a modern shooter," he said. "I won't say anything bad about Fallout 3, but we wanted to not make any excuses for how the action felt in a role-playing game. We feel we can layer all of the role-playing and stat systems on top of that.
"So the guns feel great. We have aim down sights, you can play in first and third-person, and then we have the V.A.T.S system."
 
Continuing, Howard said Id Software were called in from an early stage to help build the shooting.
"Since id Software is part of our company, the first thing we did was call them. [We said] 'alright, we're going to do this from scratch, give us some tips.'"
 
Watch the full interview with Howard below.

I can't wait.

 
I can't either.
 
Are you prepared to get lost/immersed in Fallout 4? Rumor is that there will be at least 400 hours of game play. And there will be NO level cap! Also, they are saying that the game will not end after completion.

400 for main 
Well, that's great, but, I don't have that kinda time anymore   Sounds like WAY too much fun.  Can't wait, I guess this could become my next Cybermancy (oh good Lord, I don't need ANOTHER game like that) where I have 140 hours in and pick it up when I have 3 hours to kill.

Dave,
There may have been a little confusion. That 400+ was for the entire game and not just the main part of it. I couldn't find any info regarding the main quest by it self.
 
The way I play, snooping in everything, I'll have well over 1000 hours into it.

Ahh, ok.  I was thinking that for the main game.  OK, that sounds more doable.  But if it is like anything else from Bethesda since Morrowind came out, it will be open to all sorts of mods that could drive the time up exponentially.....  I am glad I didn't have steam for Morrowind, I don't think I would have wanted to see how many hours were played on it.....

Is this on steam or on some gaming site?

I hope they have multiple ways to complete quests and multiple endings and story lines. That to me is what made it so much fun and non linear.

Agreed, that really does help, I love different ways to win and play, as it doesn't shoehorn everyone into the same play style and goals.

 "For starters, the amount of fresh content contained within the newest addition to the Fallout franchise is absolutely ridiculous. Players are said to have the entire map of Boston at their fingertips for a truly sandbox-type experience. Can you say 400+ hours of reported gameplay in an entirely free-roaming world? I know, mind-numbing, but I digress. Not only can players essentially do what they want or interact with any aspect of the game that they choose, but their actions also have tangible consequences and will directly affect the overall gaming experiencing. This is intriguing and substantially makes one player’s gameplay experience entirely different from that of their friends. This creates an endless amount of outcome possibilities. Feel like beating the tar out that guy you just stumbled upon in an alleyway, or maybe you’d rather just talk with him and see what he’s all about? Fallout 4 will oblige and let you choose the proper course of action, even if it’s the morally wrong one."
