Then in May there’s Far Harbor, a story-led expansion that adds a new location and focuses on Nick Valentine, easily the game’s most charming companion. April sees the Wasteland Workshop, which adds more customisation options for settlements and what is basically a Pokemon mode, allowing you to capture enemies and make them fight each other. The first, Automatron, features “robots, robots and more robots” and arrives in March, introducing – yes – a robotic overmind to the wasteland and a range of new enemies, as well as the ability to build your own robots from their scrap. The post-launch plans show a development studio ready to run with that success – and fix some of the stuff it didn’t get right first time. Fallout has always been a popular series but the fourth entry has now sold more than 12 million copies, making it the most successful game in the company’s history. Update: see below for video showing how Sam Byford also got transplanted into the wasteland.T he first downloadable content (DLC) for Fallout 4 has been announced and, reading between the lines, it’s clear that the game has been a hit beyond even Bethesda’s expectations.

Instead, Intel's goal is to make RealSense a widely adopted standard so that you have that option already built in to whatever you happen to buy next. It's pretty good, though you'd have to be pretty self-absorbed to want to spend the money you'd need to get a RealSense tablet just so you could see your own face in video games. Uraniom and itSeez3D, the technologies behind putting your face into the game, have been around for awhile, so the innovation here is how quickly and well Intel's RealSense tech can 3D scan your head. Is it weird to see yourself so fully immersed in the uncanny valley? Yes, but it's also super fun to see that uncanny self strapped into power armor. As you run around, your face keeps that same determined expression, but the graphical quality more than good enough for you to recognize yourself and almost good enough to feel native to the game. You then boot up Fallout 4 and there's your face, ready to take on mutants. About three to five minutes later, it's been uploaded to a cloud service that talks to Fallout 4 on the PC. Very soon thereafter, the tablet has a 3D image of your face and pate in its Uraniom software. A very nice man takes an HP tablet with Intel's cameras on it and walks around you slowly while pointing it at your head with the itSeez3D app.

To do it, you sit very still in a chair with a dour, "I live in a post-nuclear-apocalypse-hellscape" expression and don't move. At CES 2016, it has a fun little demo that puts your noggin into Fallout 4. Intel is very keen for you to know all about its RealSense technology, which combines three cameras to see and map the world.
