Where I can find Pip Boy Edition for PC? I dream about, but those prices... too expensive for me at the moment.

Those prices are not that far off from the original price.

Fallout 4 VR will be hitting HTC Vive in 2017.

Just know the apparatus only accept certain smartphones, so double check that before you consider using it with the game.

How many guys here got the Season Pass before it jumped up in price?

I spent like $22 on it through a promo on a Steam key site just before the jump. $30 was pretty reasonable for a Bethesda game, but $50? I have yet to try the DLCs to a great extent, but they better be something substantial.

Fallout 4 high resolution texture pack arrives next week for PC.

I hope this is a optional update because my GPU doesn't meet the recommended specs.

Pretty sure it is optional at least if it's Bethesda. Many games on steam that offer texture packs such as that are presented as free dlc on the store page, and that was the case with Skyrim when they offered their high resolution texture pack.

Also, texture packs tend to depend on your GPU's RAM if anything. Since the GTX 1080 has 8GB of video RAM, I'd imagine you can use a card such as a GTX 1070 or a RX 480 8GB version and have it run without having stutter associated with lacking VRAM. I'd take recommended system requirements somewhat with a grain of salf.

I saw the news and figured it's to take advantage of the Nvidia Pascal architecture. I have a GTX 1070 and was excited at first till I saw the GTX 1080 spec. But yeah, still gonna give it a try assuming it'll let me install it. I also just happened to start playing the game again over the weekend after a 6 month hiatus, so this would be a nice new addition.

Just keep in mind that it's a 58GB update.

LOL what a moron (me). I saw that when I read your link, but it registered in my head as 58MB . I didn't even stop to think that 58MB doesn't make any sense.

Either way I have the space for it.

I do too (I have a 480GB SSD as my boot drive and a 1TB 7200RPM WD Black as my second HDD which is at 484GB as of this post). With that said, 58GB isn't peanuts size.

I went with a 500GB SSD Samsung 850 Evo last summer. I have plenty of space on it, but the funny thing is, I also picked up a 3TB drive at the same time, which I was going to use for a new server. That never panned out and I forgot about that drive which was just sitting in my parts drawer. I found it a couple of weeks ago - to my surprise of course - and stuck it in my rig. I've been using it as my game storage drive for games that I've finished but don't want to completely delete to avoid re-downloading. So now I only keep my current games on the SSD. That's one thing I love about Steam, you can move installation folders around without worrying about the OS choking.

I always leave the SSD as the boot drive.

Historically I've had games on a separate drive and not on the boot drive. But being that I went with a 500GB SSD and I had pretty much nothing on it, I figured what the heck since it should help with load times.

I have been using the Nexus texture mods but may have to try the new ones. How do they look or compare to the ones from Nexus?

[Zivouhr]

Even though the PS4 mods are limited to in game assets, there are some fun mods that change up the game a bit. The Zombie mod is fun, as they are the walking kind, and can take a lot of damage till you hit their head.

The forest mod is also a game changer in terms of the look of the game. It's like if Fallout 3's Oasis managed to spread the tree seeds to the whole east coast.

[Wingman1977]

The texture pack is available now.
