Fallout 3 vs. Oblivion - Gameplayer

Gameplayer writes:

If there is a word that can get gamers, particularly of the PC variety, to turn almost zombie-like – drooling at the thought of their venerated series and shambling slowly towards their PCs in a bid to relive the magic – it's this one: Fallout… are you still with us? No urge to boot up that copy of Fallout 2, invite your best buddy around and relive your teenage years? Good, because we're going to be saying 'Fallout' a lot.

The fact that this almost sacred series is about to receive a next-gen sequel in the form of Fallout 3 is, dear readers, a big deal. In a market where sequels seem to be nothing but reworked versions of their predecessors, with little or no innovation when it comes to story telling and/or immersion, we think that it is reasonable for Fallout fans to be a little worried.

To understand why this next step in the series is so important to a lot of people we must look to the past – at the previous Fallout games and at the developer who has been given the rather momentous job of bringing Fallout to a new generation of gamers, none other than Bethesda 'we made Oblivion' Softworks.

Eh I got bored with Oblivion. Fallout 3 looks fudging amazing though. I don't like that they numbered it as the official sequel though I mean it's TOTALLY different from previous Fallout games. Are people really THAT obsessed with First Person Shooters nowadays? Now our RPG's are turning into FPS!

BeaArthur6534d ago

We are on the same page their. I couldn't even force myself to finish Oblivion, but Fallot 3 looks like it could be a lot more entertaining.

Panthers6534d ago

I agree too. BTW, is Fallout 3 First Person or Third? I hope third. It looks like it from the pics.

Closing6534d ago

Fallout 3 by a long shot.

Anemeros6534d ago

I've read that article before, several months ago. I hope it wasn't stolen and/or re-posted.

Copy and paste can get you into trouble sometimes.

MK_Red6534d ago

Hey, I'm the Vault Boy!

But seriously, it would be really ugly if they indeed stole their article.
Anyways, cool avy :)

SlappingOysters6534d ago

it is from one of the site's regular writers

Imallvol76534d ago

If fallout three is like Oblivion, I never want to hear about it again. I rented Oblivion for a week and I am still in shock that anyone liked that game. So many glitches!

okcomputer6534d ago

Maybe the glitches were on the console versions.. i had it for pc and ran fine.

Gun_Senshi6534d ago

When compared to Morrowind.

MK_Red6534d ago

So true. It was a fun and good game on its own but compared to Morrowind, it was horrible.
And as Yahtzee put it, Oblivion lacked a very important part of a good game: Immersion.

Fallout 3 pwns Oblivion any day.

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.

cloganart112d ago

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

walken7112d ago

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

Snookies12113d ago (Edited 113d 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.

Michiel1989112d 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_112d 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

jznrpg112d ago

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

Christopher112d ago

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

BlaqMagiq1112d 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??

Phoenix76184d ago

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

gigoran8184d 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

1nsomniac184d 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.

UltimateOwnage184d 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

ZeekQuattro372d 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.
