This is something of a dream realized for fans who have been dying to use a real Pip-Boy since Fallout debuted, and have been trying to create unofficial apps that replicate it since the age of the smartphone began. But it isn’t a separate minigame, you can actually use it in conjunction with the real game itself, and do everything in the Pip-Boy app that you can do in the actual game. This is opposed to say, Konami, who is close to ditching “traditional” games entirely in the pursuit of mobile cash.īut the real ingenuity of Bethesda is in the Collector’s Edition of Fallout 4, which comes with a real-life working Pip Boy that turns your iPhone into the game’s famous arm-screen. This is just something fun the team wanted to do, while still heavily relying on their high-quality console games for the bulk of their income. Bethesda is assuredly looking to make a buck or two from lunchboxes, but this is what mobile tie-in games can be like when they’re not looked at as potential cash cows. Though the game is based on waiting, waiting to collect resources, waiting for vault dwellers to get back from scouting missions, the game does away with so many of the awful microtransactions that normally plague games like this.
