Gameplanet was flown to Sydney for an exclusive viewing of never-before-seen preview code from Bethesda's upcoming epic Fallout 3.
This in-depth article includes lots of new details about the game, three new screenshots and an interview with Pete Hines, VP of Marketing and PR at Bethesda.
"IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE it's been over ten years since Fallout hit the shelves. Although the graphics now appear dated, the storyline still resonates with anyone brave enough to fire up this retro classic. The subtle dark comedy adds to the chilling social commentary on a post-apocalyptic world struggling to preserve the human race, something our species has only really begun to comprehend this year as we saw cheese break through ten dollars a kilo.
You begin the game in Vault 101, where you will spend the next nineteen years of your life. In perhaps the most realistic game beginning ever, the first thing you see is a blurred image of your father. Your father (ably voiced by Liam Neeson) then exclaims "is it a boy or girl?", at which point you are prompted to choose your sex and name, and set physical attributes for your avatar. Those who have played Oblivion will be right at home here, as there is a bewildering array of combinations available for facial features, including what Bethesda's boffins are confident is the widest range of hair combinations yet seen in a videogame. After you decide what you will look like, your father becomes visible - his attributes are matched with yours to show the family resemblance."
A remaster of Bethesda Game Studios' 2008 action role-playing game, Fallout 3, is planned for release at some point in the future.
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.
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.
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.
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
Everyone there should know most gamers want New Vegas and Morrowind more than anything.
Which is why we won't get them. Gotta keep floating "support this one and it might happen".
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.
Fallout 4 isn't the worst game in the franchise. It's either Fallout 76 or Fallout BOS that's the worst.
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
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.
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.
Fallout 3 game designer Bruce Nesmith explains that the upcoming remaster should revise the game's gunplay to be more modern.
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
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.
