Fallout 4 review Launching on November 10th after years of speculation, if Fallout 4 lives up to its lofty expectations, there's a good chance you'll spend months living a life not too dissimilar to the game's populace; hiding from daylight, surviving on quick fixes of canned food, and slowly gaining a pasty, emaciated, some would say 'ghoulish' appearance. While there'll be a huge number of gamers coming to Fallout 4 after having played previous games in the series, there'll also be plenty who have never wandered the US wasteland before. If you're one of these people, then being spewed out from an underground vault into the wasteland could prove to be a disorienting experience. A couple of weeks ago, I outlined all the crucial backstory points you should know before heading into Fallout 4. But here, you'll find answers to all the niggling questions that you'll have when you start exploring the world; you'll learn whether you should shoot everything that looks like a zombie, the exact year the game's set in, and why fashion seems to have stayed in the 50s. You'll also get the latest info on the game based on the leaked footage, such as the map size and exact year the game is set in. Sure, such things won't save you from a raider ambush, but they'll give you an important perspective on the fascinating, unique post-apocalyptic world you're about to get lost in.
