Fallout 4 Shooting Mechanics Modeled After Destiny

Destiny and Fallout 4 running at 30fps made things easier.

Bethesda has revealed that when designing Fallout 4's new shooting mechanics, the developer used Destiny as a reference point. That's according to Game Informer's story on the game, published in the magazine's latest issue.

Bethesda developers also used Destiny as a benchmark Fallout 4's shooter mechanics becayse Bungie's game runs at 30fps, just like Fallout 4.

"The main difference in the way we develop [and other studios] is that we will develop with as many knobs as possible," Fallout 4 director Todd Howard said. "We're always thinking of scale. We're not a team that is just going to make eight guns and spend forever on one gun. We knew we were going to have thousands, so we needed to develop a gun system that had all of the dials."

The Fallout 4 release date is set for November 10 across PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4.
