Fallout 4 Revealed at E4 2015: Trailer. How About Linux Support?

E4 2015 revealed a game I've long been waiting for - FALLOUT 4! I don't play much these days due to time constraints, the last really new one I played was Fallout NV when it came out, plus trying to catch up with the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series (still only half way through the first one, but playing them backwards, so had finished Call of Pripyat and Clear Skies previously). A much belated impression of the original Shadow of Chernobyl will eventually turn up here one day.

However, I'll definitely make time for Fallout 4 when it comes out in November. This years festive season should be good for making a start. Best of all, from trailer footage game play seems pretty much unchanged, with all the usual items from Nuka Cola to Bobbleheads making a return and now you can give the dog commands. And why change a winning formula? Now, without much further ado, here's the trailer and a detailed deconstruction posted by Camelworks which I think will be interesting for any hardcore fan of the series.







Now we'll only need to find out how/if it runs on Linux, but I'm sure these days it will either be offered through Steam application and Steam OS -although this article says different - or the community will figure out how to run it with Wine on PlayOnLinux.

Are you going to play Fallout 4 and do you care whether you'ld have to run a copy of Windows to be able to do so? Let me know in the comments. More about the game play in Fallout 4 here (opens in a new window).
