Fallout 4's latest offering is set to keep you busy for a very long time

Fallout 4 has plenty of mags and art to keep you busy

FALLOUT 4 is well known for its boast that it will keep players on Xbox One, PS4 and PC playing for hundreds of hours but what about some of the game's finer details.

The studio's extensive library of perk magazines have been a staple of the game since Fallout 3 was launched and help add another layer of submersion into the alternate world of 50s Americana.

The little attribute providers took a big step in Fallout 4 by becoming much larger and more detailed, with many new designs giving a terrific amount of differing artwork to gaze upon.

In fact the look of Fallout 4 is something of a contentious issue with some fans, who have found it difficult to accept the level of graphical quality available in Bethesda's title.

The game's art is something that I have always enjoyed, titles can be let down by how they look, but the grand scale and sheer ambition of the wasteland series has always won me over.

For those who enjoy checking out the many Perk magazine covers, manuals, posters and billboards scattered across the wasteland, 98 issues of 11 different titles can now be viewed online, plenty to keep you busy.

PlanK-69's Deviant Art page shows off all the best from Fallout 4 taken from the PC version, including Astoundingly Awesome Tales, Guns and Bullets, the Wasteland Survival, as well as Grognak, Taboo Tattoos, and many more.

If that's not enough, The Art of Fallout 4 is another outlet for those wanting more, complementing the game by showing the concepts and ideas behind it. Bethesda recently shared some of their thoughts on the subject.

 

"When you play our games, you live in a world that the team at Bethesda Game Studios has already lived in for years," Bethesda lead artist Istvan Pely wrote ahead of release.

"Day by day we see it grow around us, from the initial germ of an idea to a fully realized universe. Each day, new content is added or iterated on, and the world gradually takes form, gains detail, and becomes real.

"After years of living in this place, our playground and our home, we open the gates and invite millions to enter and play.

"You will encounter numerous things of this kind during your travels in the Wasteland—things that might have originated as an unexpected but inspired doodle or a little idea that an individual or group came up with, were passionate about, and then added to the game."

Bethesda recently released their first Fallout 4 update on PC but warned that the beta should be treated with caution when it comes to save files.
