PSU Fallout 3 Preview from E3 2008

PSU writes: "Fallout shelters are great, aren't they? They're always packed to the brim with awesome canned foods and powdered milk. What more could you possibly hope for? Not much, except for an awesome videogame to occupy your time. I had the chance today to test the latest installment to the Fallout franchise, Fallout 3. Developed by Bethesda, Fallout 3 utilizes a vast world much like that of Elder Scrolls with the exception of a nuclear holocaust instead of lush forests. I'll get this out of the way right now - I am unable to discuss load screens, quest directives, achievements (irrelevant for us), and perks. I am allowed to talk to you guys about pretty much everything else, unfortunately that ends up being very minimal considering I only had 24 minutes to fool around with the game."

Im just curious....To people who play these sorts of games, im a massive fan of post apocalyptic worlds...But in these RPG's is there much of a storyline...does it reach a climax ...how does it work?

Edit: oh no i understand that, its just....Is the storyline strong throughout with an epic ending or ?? because in these types of games you sorta build the character yourself...so...they cant really use your character in the story much (personality wise)...so how does the climax approach to these kinds of games...or do they just sorta die out?

Captain Tuttle6509d ago

Fallout 1 & 2 had a great, interconnected story. In Fallout 2 your character is a descendant of the protagonist from Fallout 1. Fallout 2 takes place 80 years after the end of the first one. The climax of the first is epic and appropriate...the climax of the second is the same. Both games are very non-linear though. You can fight your way through or use diplomacy. There are certain things you have to do in order to advance the story but there are multiple ways of completing each task. You can pretty much do whatever you want in between tasks though including multiple side quests.

Give them a shot, you won't be disappointed.

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.

cloganart124d ago

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

walken7124d ago

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

Snookies12125d ago (Edited 125d 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.

Michiel1989124d 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_124d 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

jznrpg124d ago

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

Christopher124d ago

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

BlaqMagiq1124d 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??

Phoenix76196d ago

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

gigoran8196d 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

1nsomniac196d 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.

UltimateOwnage196d 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

ZeekQuattro384d 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.
