Fallout 3 Hands-On RPGFan Preview from E3

RPGFan writes:

"The game is absolutely gorgeous and uses the same physics engine as its predecessor-in-engine, Oblivion. This means that things move and sway and quite a bit of the environment can be destroyed. The demo threw players directly into the world just outside of Vault 101 and immediately there were vehicles that could be destroyed with massive explosions. Since they were nuclear powered as well, destroying them introduced radiation into the air, making the situation none too good for the main character. Players are also able to wear a great deal of clothing or armor (I was able to wander around in my underwear and a baseball cap beating people up with a baseball bat). Not many games come with a pedigree like that."

This just made Fallout 3 my most wanted title of the year.

"When I killed the sheriff of Megaton and stole his cowboy hat, the citizens of the city were none too happy with me and began to mob me. I had to flee the city and I lost access to the quests in the city. On the up side, however, I had a cowboy hat."

I was also very impressed with the trailer they just released - basically Oblivion with guns in a post-apocalyptic future (which is a good thing).

Another trailer I was really impressed by was the Resident Evil 5 video. My hype meter was about a 4 or 5 for this game pre-E3, but is not a 9 or 10!

I thought the vats targeting was the stupidest gimmick I've seen in a video game.
I know you can free roam and shoot 1st person but when things get tuff you turn into the terminator?
yuck!
the graphics & animation for the gore & characters look like a old duke nukem game on the pc.
fallout 3 is helping RPGs become overrated.
but to each is own.
if you are amped to play it, I won't stop you but please give your thoughts on the n4g forum so I can know that hopefully, I'm wrong.

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.

cloganart126d ago

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

walken7125d ago

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

Snookies12127d ago (Edited 127d 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.

Michiel1989126d 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_126d 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

jznrpg126d ago

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

Christopher126d ago

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

BlaqMagiq1126d 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??

Phoenix76198d ago

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

gigoran8198d 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

1nsomniac198d 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.

UltimateOwnage197d 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

ZeekQuattro386d 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.
