Someone built a giant AT-AT settlement in Fallout 4

Fallout 4: The Force Awakens. Star Wars Settlement Build.
Star Wars fever has reached the wasteland of Fallout 4. Canadian YouTuber Ops_Specialist showed off a giant settlement building in the shape of a giant AT-AT Sunday. In addition to looking cool on the outside, the residence at the Commonwealth AT-AT comes fully furnished with light, power, bedrooms, aesthetically pleasing common spaces, and even a bar. It may not walk or crush rebels, but as far as post-apocalyptic high rises go, you could do a lot worse.

With analysts predicting Star Wars: The Force Awakens will make $175-$220 million on opening weekend, everyone seems to looking to create, share and otherwise tie-in into the cultural force. ESPN, for example, will air a documentary special about the history of lightsaber duels Tuesday night.

Fallout 4‘s settlement building mechanics, the game’s most expansive new feature, has received mixed reviews from critics. In our Fallout 4 review, Will Fulton liked the crafting systems, but also appreciated that the game “doesn’t force these new systems on you, but leaves them available to reward the effort you put in.” Within certain circles, however, building and sharing large and intricate Fallout 4 settlements has become all the rage.

This is not Op_Specialist’s only impressive Fallout 4 settlement building: He’s also used the game’s building tools to create a giant version of Edward Munch’s Scream and a replica Eiffel Tower, among others. He’s also posted a variety of tips and how-to videos for exploration-minded wasteland wanderers.

If you want to see how the AT-AT settlement came to be (and perhaps replicate it for yourself), Ops_Specialist livestreamed the mutli-hour build and has posted an archived version of the broadcast as a series of videos on YouTube as well (Part 1, Part 2, Part 3). Hopefully they’ll help hold you over until Star Wars: The Force Awakens opens in theaters Friday, December 18.

‘Skyrim VR’ will launch in November, followed by ‘Doom VFR’ and ‘Fallout 4 VR’

Just before the start of Quakecon later this week, Bethesda has confirmed the release dates of three of its most hotly anticipated virtual reality ports. Skyrim VR will debut on the PlayStation VR headset in November, while Doom VFR and Fallout 4 VR will become available on the HTC Vive in early and mid-December.

One of the sticking points for a lot of people with virtual reality is that there isn't much in the way of AAA titles on any headset. While that's debatable, the introduction of three of Bethesda's biggest games from the last decade could go a long way to scratching that high-end itch.

Fallout 4

Fallout 4 has been out for well over a year at this point, but if you haven't tried out Bethesda's latest apocalyptic role-playing adventure, now is the perfect time. The publisher announced on Thursday the Fallout 4: Game of the Year Edition, which bundles the original game together with all of its post-launch downloadable content.

Releasing for PC and consoles in September, Fallout 4: Game of the Year Edition includes all six expansion packs for the game. Some of these are relatively small enhancements, such as the Vault-Tec Workshop and the Contraptions Workshop, but it also includes two larger, full-sized expansions. Automatron released last March and centers around rogue robots that are attacking civilians, while Far Harbor is a Shutter Island-like area filled with mutated creatures that are sure to give you the creeps. It originally released in May 2016.

First revealed last year, Bethesda has renamed the Doom virtual reality experience Doom VFR. This take on Id Software's hellish shooter features a series of activities set within the Doom universe. The trailer showed off puzzle-solving with robotic arms, exploring a space station, examining character models, and blasting through waves of demons.
