IGN: Fallout 3 Progress Report

War, as the intro to Fallout 3 tells us, never changes. And for much of the last year, the information that IGN had on Fallout 3 itself hadn't changed, as Bethesda Softworks kept a low profile as it worked on what is easily one of the most anticipated games of the year. But now Bethesda is looking to break radio silence, and IGN jumped at the chance to see the latest progress on this epic single-player role-playing game set in a memorable post-apocalyptic world. So buckle up, and IGN will describe what was at a demonstration of the game this week.

SullyDrake6524d ago

Given Bethesda's track record, this game will push both systems to the limit and welcome repeated plays.

Easily one of my top 5 most wanted games, and you can't call yourself a hardcore gamer if you're not at least slightly excited for this monster.

Captain Tuttle6524d ago (Edited 6524d ago )

But still a bit skeptical. The first 2 Fallout's are pretty big shoes to fill. I'm worried about the dialog trees in Fallout 3...what I've seen hasn't been very deep. I'll definitely buy it though.

MK_Red6524d ago

I'm with you Captain Tuttle and GameSpy's report made me more worried.

Todd Howard said it himself "We can not screw this up"... well, he better be right because I'll sneak in to their base and rip them all in half with my trusty plasma refile.

Captain Tuttle6524d ago

No doubt doped up on Mentats and Buffout : )

meepmoopmeep6524d ago

never played a Fallout but this one looks awesome so far.

okcomputer6524d ago

Same here, never played either of the first two. But if it actually is "oblivion with guns" and a better storyline and setting like the article says, then I'm pretty much sold.

Captain Tuttle6524d ago (Edited 6524d ago )

If you guys can find them on e-Bay or in the bargain bin pick them up. They're fantastic games. Great storytelling.

TheKungFool6524d ago

I'm glad to see that even with all the dev companies closing, merging, suffering hostile take-overs and such that some of the best series will still be rockin'.

"Fallout 3" is looking good, and from what I've read and heard we're also likely to see another "Thief" and "Deus Ex" game.

Gorgon6524d ago

The Deus Ex game is not a rumor, is confirmed.

MK_Red6524d ago

Man... I'd kill for another Thief game. Original was godlike and the sequels were pretty great games.

socomnick6524d ago

Goty if Gears of war 2 doesnt take it.

Ridrick6524d ago

Bethesda always delivers decent rpgs. Great visuals, big open worlds and good gameplay. Althrough biggest problem with games like Morrowind and Oblivion was always flat, dull scenario.

And scenario is what made Fallout games legendary. Not graphics.

Hope that guys at Bethesda knows what they doing.

MK_Red6524d ago

Mostly agreed though I don't think Morrowind was that bad. Sure it was flat compared to classic RPGs and nowhere near Fallout 1 & 2 but it was a rather different RPG.
Oblivion though was a POS compared to real RPGs. It was a decent game but big fall for TES series.

Hopefully Bethesda doesn't screw Fallout 3.

Would be nice if they had New Vegas ready as well, especially because of the show.

Hopefully this doesn't have the same performance issues as Oblivion Remastered.

cloganart41d ago

I haven't seen anything on these performance issues? What's been going on?

walken741d ago

Probably the Unreal Engine issues, I skipped it for that reason.

Snookies1242d ago (Edited 42d ago )

Throw in all the DLC as well, like Oblivion and I'll definitely bite. I recall having one trophy left to unlock on the PS3 version with 100+ hours in my save. When my save file got corrupted, lol. Very sad day.

To be fair though, Bethesda was trash at Playstation ports anyway.

Michiel198941d ago

all devs sucked at porting to ps3 for the first like 3 years because no one had experience with the cell architecture. Even 1st party took a long while to get proficient with it, the difference between uncharted 1 and 3 is massive for example.

Extermin8or3_41d ago

Oh oh oh I can do this too. GTA 7 will be made at some point in the future. Fallout 5 will enter development in the future too

jznrpg41d ago

Everyone there should know most gamers want New Vegas and Morrowind more than anything.

Christopher41d ago

Which is why we won't get them. Gotta keep floating "support this one and it might happen".

BlaqMagiq141d ago

Can't wait. Won't have to go back to my PS3 to play this when it comes out.

Fallout 3 remastered on the Nintendo Switch 2 is what we deserve, not the worst Fallout game

Fallout Day's disappointing news that Fallout 4 is coming to Switch 2 is a shame, as this 17-year-old entry is more deserving of a new port.

Why exactly do you think you deserve it??

Phoenix76113d ago

Fallout 4 isn't the worst game in the franchise. It's either Fallout 76 or Fallout BOS that's the worst.

gigoran8113d ago

PC and all other modern consoles never got a remaster of 3, but obviously the switch 2 was the tipping point to make it a reality... ahuh

1nsomniac113d ago

Meh, I thought 3 was garbage. I'm not a great fan of the franchise to be fair. They're like B-Movie films, really shallow and janky. 4 was definitely one of the better ones though.

UltimateOwnage113d ago

So the article makes a snippy entitled statement and acts like that is going to encourage a publisher to give them what they want. Okay.

Give us FO3 with all the dlc remastered like ESO. Load times faster, quality of life improvements, gun play improvements

I believe it shouldn't just be graphical they should make improvements where they can to make the game better. A simple face lift isn't what's needed

ZeekQuattro301d ago

Still my favorite one. I remember getting a digital copy of FO3 when I got FO4(XBO). It was nice to finally play a stable version of the game. Then when I got a Series S it was an even better expierence. Quick resume and FPS boost made it feel like a whole new game. Updated gunplay would be very welcome though. One of the few things FO4 did better.
