I might actually think about buying this game. Should I buy this over Saints Row 2 and mercenaries 2?

Rikitatsu6573d ago

This and MGS4 are the Strongest Contenders for GOTY

GTA IV is an Overhyped Overrated piece of filthy trash

Luca Blight6573d ago

Definetely buy this game over Saints Row 2 and Mercenaries too (both 82-86% games probably).

And Rikitatsu, even though I enjoyed GTA4, it definetely was overhyped and IMO undeserving of the slew of 10/10s it received.

m-s-8-26573d ago

GTA was hardly a trash game. Did it deserve perfect 10's? No. a Solid 8.5 was about right.

MK_Red6573d ago

Well, now the GOTY 2008 has a solid release date.

Statix6573d ago

You mean you aren't one of the many old-school, hardcore turn-based, isometric RPG Fallout fanboys that are constantly complaining and moaning about how Bethesda is bastardizing their precious baby? Judging by your avatar, I thought you would be.

Luca Blight6573d ago

It still has to compete with...
1. MGS4
2. GTA4
3. Gears of War 2
4. Resistance 2
5. Starcraft 2
6. White Knight Story (yes I'm a Level 5 nut)

among others...

MK_Red6573d ago

Statix, actually, I am one of those and still hate Bethesda for what they've done to the series (My all time fave series no less along with MK) but in an age of casual games that a watered down version of System Shock 2 (BioShock) is deeper and more complex than all of 2007's games combined, I know that even an insanely watered down Fallout will beat the living crap out of everything else.

Luca Blight, I agree with MGS4 and GTA4 but not the rest. Gears 2 and Resistance 2 have no chance for GOTY. StarCraft 2 is worthy but RTS games hardly win GOTY. And for White Knight, I'm pretty sure it will be delayed till 2009 and even if it didn't, for me Western-RPG > J-RPG so Fallout 3 still wins.
The other contender that you didn't mention is LittleBigPlanet.

Statix6573d ago

MK_Red, as a fan of the Fallout series, in what ways do you think Fallout 3 will be watered-down or detrimentally altered compared to the originals? And how many of these supposed changes are known for sure, considering there haven't been that many concrete details released regarding Fallout 3's gameplay in the first place?

Luca Blight6573d ago (Edited 6573d ago )

Speaking broadly, I think anytime you focus more on the visuals and a whole new gameplay system to accomodate it, you're going to lose out on time that you may have had more of when designing previous iterations less focused on such detailed graphics and complex 3D interactions.

I also think it's a given that whenever you try to cater to a larger, more diverse audience (as Bethesda is obviously trying to do with this new Fallout), you decide to ditch more of the hardcore nuances of the series' predescesors in an attempt to make the game more accessible to newcomers.

Luca Blight6573d ago

you're right - I totally forgot about LittleBigPlanet! That game has some potential.

I'm going to stand by my Starcraft 2 pick though. Obviously in the face of all the other huge console games it probably won't get consideration, but I'm too big of a fan. Even if they just released what equated to Starcraft 1.5, I'd be a very happy man.

MK_Red6573d ago

Statix, instead of talking a lot, I just give you two examples:
Morrowind and Oblivion. Both are in the same genre. Both real-time and in First Person (FP). So no change of Turn-based to Real-time or change of view her.
Ask anyone that has played both of them and they'll tell you Morrowind is ages better, much deeper and more enjoyable even though Morro had much weaker combat and lower graphics.
Every single fan of the Elder Scrolls series considers Oblivion a seriously watered down version of Morrowind.

That's the real problem with Fallout 3, not just the change of view or becoming real time.

Luca Blight, dude, I'm definitly with you on StarCraft 2. It's my all time fave RTS and among my top 10 fave ever. SC2 will definitly be worthy of GOTY nomination but the thing is that the RTS games are usually ignored during awards time and with all the hype from console games, I think it has a lesser chance that it truly deserves.

I think I'm looking forward to this game more than any other, the sheer scale of it looks epic and as for having a dog as a partner is genius, much a throw back to mad max 2.

Spike476573d ago

thanks now I'm off to do some fallout 3 reading.

Zhuk6573d ago

I cant wait to play this on Xbox 360

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.

cloganart151d ago

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

walken7150d ago

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

Snookies12151d ago (Edited 151d 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.

Michiel1989151d 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_151d 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

jznrpg151d ago

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

Christopher151d ago

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

BlaqMagiq1151d 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??

Phoenix76223d ago

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

gigoran8223d 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

1nsomniac223d 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.

UltimateOwnage222d 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

ZeekQuattro410d 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.
