And if you thought Fallout was gory before, you havenвЂ™t seen anything until the blood and eyeballs are spraying right at you. When a gaggle of feral ghouls gets up in your face, activating VATS to stop them in their tracks for a few auto-aimed headshots is a lifesaver. Not quite as smooth as a made-for-VR shooter like Robo Recall or Superhot VR, but not bad. Because the combat in Fallout is focused on shooting, picking up a gun and blasting mole rats and raiders feels pretty good. I wasnвЂ™t able to get smooth turning to work, though there appears to be a menu setting for it, and that left me with the incremental turning when I was at the limits of my ViveвЂ™s cord. Switching from teleportation to smooth movement makes for a nice walk through the wasteland, if you can stomach it. By default itвЂ™s set for teleportation, with the indicator turning from blue to green if itвЂ™s far enough away from you to burn your stamina. The menu options allow for a fairly flexible VR experience.

And yet the first night I played Fallout 4 VR ($60 on Steam, or bundled free with the HTC Vive VR headset) for three hours straight and only stopped because it was 4 A.M. As I dove further into the game, I kept finding other aspects that annoyed me, that demonstrated Fallout 4 was never built with VR in mind-awkward controls, a terrible teleport system, objects that donвЂ™t react the way youвЂ™d expect in VR. This вЂњOh, someone didnвЂ™t even think of this or at least didnвЂ™t come up with a way to solve itвЂќ rough-around-the-edges aspect does not bode well. But it soon smoothed out, and for the most part played as expected. I did have a few stutters on hardware above the requirements (a GTX 1080), but those appear to be limited to certain areas вЂ“ such as Vault 111, which doesnвЂ™t make the best first impression. Far fewer knobs had to be turned to their lowest setting here than in Skyrim VR on the PlayStation 4, and while Fallout 4 was never a cutting-edge game when it comes to graphics, character models, textures, and draw distances are only a little bit below where I remembered them. Given the sky-high system requirements of a GeForce GTX 1070 or AMD RX Vega 56, itвЂ™s not all that surprising that Fallout 4 looks pretty respectable in VR.
