if it was PS3 exclusive you prolly wouldn't be saying that:)

Could be, now I am trying to figure out if I want to get it on release day or wait and see if there are going to be any expansion packs that could make it a goty edition.

His comment had nothing to do with PS3 or 360, you are the one who mentioned it, not him. Which mean you must have a personal problem with him. All he said was looks to be GOTY, your the one who jumped to the D and mentioned PS3, which shows me what you realy are.

No it not...It will explode the x360, that's for sure!!! Ahahahahah!!!!

Yes, sadly, considering Fallout 1 and 2 were straight up CRPGs.

Hey Bob, why exectely does a game stop beying an CRPG just because it has shooter elements? Turn based combat does not mean RPG, you know?

According to what I read, turn-based combat requires some sort of 'points' system. Once you lose your points, you are forced to revert back to real-time combat until you regain your turn-based action points, which I think is done through combat.

@cputeq: sadly you couldn't be more wrong, our Bethesda "pals" yet again have exchanged pretty much EVERYTHING of the original Fallout gameplay for their classic mainstream simplicity and easy satisfaction/gain type of gameplay

sadly there is no more turn based combat now its a basic 1st/3rd person shooter mechanics and the whole turn based points effect system has been replaced with twitch gameplay as they did with Oblivion

as far as we know the skill and perks system is COMPLETELY pointless cuz everyone that has played the original knows both skill and perks directly affected stuff related to the points for the turnbased actions and it was crucial to understand how to managed the points for combat and stay alive now that the combat is simple aim and click (why go thru all the hard work for the Sniper perk when you can just aim at the head and click!) both Skills and perks will probably be redesigned by Bethesda to be some kind of gimmick, did I mentioned that Bethesda as usual eliminated some Skill and Perks? but any one familiar with their games would remember how on each Elder Scroll sequel they seem to cut out more stuff than the one they add

but don't worry in some kind of bizarre attempt to pretend to keep the original gameplay there is the VATS system that is a very poor attempt to make you think turn based actions and point still matter...by pausing the game to allow you to target and see your kills in slow motion! YAY!

but all be in the name of attraction a more mainstream $ audience $ that would probably find all the deep and complex combat and gamplay in the original Fallouts WAY to complicated and that is a BIG NO NO in the Bethesda mentality

ANYONE that ever had the curiosity to know what the Fallout games are all about and why are they considered so legendary and are featured in many "greatest games" should just go and buy the Fallout Collection that features the first 3 games ($15)...cuz Fallout 3 is not where to start and not even remotely reflects why Fallout became so legendary...which is pretty sad

Bethesda isnt THAT bad. You make them sound like EA. YES we're all going to miss the old Fallout, but Bethesda is the best pair of hands Interplay could have given the license to (beside maybe Bioware).
I can tell you didn't like Oblivion, but myself, along with many other wrpg fans did. Yes, it oversimplified gameplay, what can you do ? What would you rather, a game like Oblivion, or a game like the ps2 Brotherhood of Steel ? THAT was a bad game.

There is just not zombies and zombies. Its just a part of a huge ocean.

They are not zombies, they are supposed to be ghouls.
But since the good people at Bethesda never played the original Fallout games, they don't know what a ghoul looks like, so they just imported the zombie models from Oblivion. Along with the crappy dialogue system and other flawed gameplay elements.

Caliber, good to know that you already played the game. Why not write a review?

I started to play Fallout 1 and 2 again. I find it now even better than few years ago. So many possibilities (compared to present games). F1 was generally shorter and somehow darker. If you haven´t played them and you do not want- just check some walkthrough to make a brief picture about the gameplay of original fallout. (Per Jorner´s walkthrough is imo the best).

Companies ain't your friend, bro.
