Fallout 4
Companions aren’t a new concept for Bethesda games or the Fallout series, but Fallout 4’s Dogmeat takes things in a new direction. Your faithful companion will be with you throughout (if you want him to be), which has design implications for the canine’s fortitude.
As Fallout 4’s game director Todd Howard points out in the video below, no one wants to lose Dogmeat. Instead, they are just likely to load up a save. For that reason, the pup can get knocked out, but not killed.
Bethesda also dropped off a clip with the real Dogmeat. This was first shown at QuakeCon. So unless you were there, this one will be new to you, too.
Fallout 4 will be out on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC on November 10, 2015. For more on it, check out our extensive preview of the exclusive QuakeCon attendee footage.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
