TeamXbox: Fallout 3 Preview

TXB writes: "It's been quite a while since we've had a look at Bethesda Softworks' Fallout 3, going all the way back to the E3 show last July, so when Bethesda representatives contacted us recently to say they wanted to come and update us on where the game currently stands, how could we turn them down? Indeed, as one of the most anticipated releases of 2008-Bethesda now has it tentatively scheduled as a fall release-when you have a chance to see some new gameplay, you drop pretty much everything and scurry to wherever the publisher sets up its game system and display.

The gameplay we saw is still relatively rough, making it impossible to offer any kind of definitive assessment of how it'll play in final form, but it's coming together nicely, with plenty of nuances already on display. There's also a lot of humor in such environmental elements as the signs around Vault 101, bulletin boards and the like, and we were already impressed by little touches, such as how the loading screen offers a selection of statistics and your level progress taken directly from your gameplay. It's really no surprise that the publisher behind Oblivion would pack every corner of the game with detail, so you can be assured there'll be a lot to absorb in Fallout 3 as well."

I've been looking forward to this game for over 2 years now, but NOT one reviewer mentions all the hideous bugs that completely ruined the game for some in OB (esp. console-only players that aren't used to seeing constant game crashes). My only question - Has Bethesda finally hired some QA ppl or what?

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.

cloganart59d ago

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

walken759d ago

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

Snookies1260d ago (Edited 60d 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.

Michiel198959d 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_59d 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

jznrpg59d ago

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

Christopher59d ago

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

BlaqMagiq159d 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??

Phoenix76131d ago

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

gigoran8131d 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

1nsomniac131d 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.

UltimateOwnage131d 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

ZeekQuattro319d 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.
