Treat VR With Care
During E3 2016, one of the big announcements by Bethesda was that they will be heading into the VR market very soon. This was followed up with the reveal of Fallout 4 VR, a title that has been kept largely in the shadows since its brief showing. Now, with virtual reality taking the industry by storm, one has to wonder how with Bethesda handle this new and growing market. Bethesda will need to take a step forward and push the boundaries of the medium, and after our hands-on time with Fallout 4 VR, it’s yet unclear how entertaining the experience will be.
Bethesda has always been a company about breaking the limits of what hardware can do, as their open world titles have always sought to deliver mind-blowing scope. Bringing this kind of mentality to VR and not treating it as just a gimmick will help them not only showcase the power of virtual reality, but establish that it can be a true platform for gaming.
