Fallout 4 Leak: 10 Reasons 'Hardcore Fans' Need To Stop Complaining

6. Animation In Combat Is Spot-On

Do you play Fallout in first or third person? Exactly - not unless you wanted to see which pieces of equipment you've got on, or attempt to get some more situational awareness. For Fallout 4 you can tell Bethesda have worked on combat the most - from just a handful of seconds of gameplay, the meaty and tactile sensation of being in first-person immediately connotes established shooters like COD or the Metro series. Darting around cover whilst keeping a bead on enemies is simple and effective, grenades being deployed Halo-style on one button, even switching to V.A.T.S mid-firefight is effective and immediate. Hopping back out to third-person does bring about some of that feeling of just 'piloting' a character around, as oppose to controlling every aspect of their momentum, but you need only look to the leaked Power Armour vs. Deathclaw showdown to see how frantic gunplay can be, and how well the engine can handle it.
