My reaction - "Meh."

I'm still excited for this...I guess...but I think we all wanted more.

I own Oblivion (PC) and it's a fun game, but wasn't nearly as much fun as Morrowind, in my opinion.

I really hope that Fallout 3 isn't just Oblivion with guns! At the very least...PLEASE CORRECT THE ENEMY LEVEL SCALING!

Prismo_Fillusion6517d ago

Re-reading my post I think I sounded more negative than I really am about this game. Don't get me wrong, this is still one of my most anticipated games of the coming year. I just don't want a carbon copy of Oblivion with guns. Even if it is, I still think it will be an excellent game - but I think it could be so much more. Hopefully Bethesda delivers.

thor6517d ago

Yeah enemy level scaling ruined oblivion for me; when you know that the higher level you are, the harder you make the game for yourself, it defeats the object. I just created a melee character with all magic major skills, it makes the game so easy. There's also a difficulty slider, that can be changed at any time. I want the game to challenge me, I don't want to have to challenge myself. There should be areas I can't reach because I'm not powerful enough, enemies I struggle to beat before I've leveled up, this is how RPGs have always been in the past!

harrisk9546517d ago

"There should be areas I can't reach because I'm not powerful enough, enemies I struggle to beat before I've leveled up"

Bethesda talked about this early on. (I think that it was in Game Informer) There will be areas that you will not want to enter until you level up enough. If I remember correctly, I believe that they used the Washington D.C. subway system as one example. So, this is something that apparently has been addressed by Bethesda.

Prismo_Fillusion6517d ago

So...does that mean they'll only use enemy level scaling some of the time, but not all of it? Because I still think that's kind of lame. But I hate speculation like this, so I'll just wait until Bethesda clears it up themselves.

Atleast this one wont be 12 hours long only.

best on PS3 regarless.

PS3 DS3 > xbug controler sucks.

meepmoopmeep6517d ago

ewww.. i didn't like oblivion at all.
i hope this isn't going to turn out like oblivion for me.
:(

Statix6517d ago

Looks pretty damn good to me. Gushing hands-on impressions from IGN. I've had my eye on this game for a long, long time as potentially being one of my personal GotYs. Hopefully it looks as good in motion as it does in the screens.

Captain Tuttle6517d ago (Edited 6517d ago )

I'm still looking forward to this. Oblivion was alright but not nearly as good as either Fallout 1 or 2. It's not even as good as Morrowind. I've said it before, Fallout 3 isn't a true successor...it's a game set in the Fallout universe. Here's hoping that Fallout 4 goes back to it's roots.
And I hate the f*cking Fat Man.
Looks like NMA was right all along.
I think I'll cancel my collectors edition pre-order today and just get the regular version.

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.

cloganart129d ago

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

walken7129d ago

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

Snookies12130d ago (Edited 130d 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.

Michiel1989129d 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_129d 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

jznrpg129d ago

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

Christopher129d ago

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

BlaqMagiq1129d 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??

Phoenix76201d ago

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

gigoran8201d 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

1nsomniac201d 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.

UltimateOwnage201d 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

ZeekQuattro389d 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.
