Fallout 3's Hines shrugs off post-E3 preview negativity

VG247: Bethesda communications boss Peter Hines has shrugged off post-E3 criticism of Fallout 3, saying he's not willing to judge negative previews based on 30 minutes play at the event.

Y'see now this is how Dennis Dyack should have handled the Too Human criticism.

“You play the game and you see what you think. At E3 we let people play the game for a half hour, and if in a half hour you can make up your mind one way or the other, OK. I don’t really get into judging the rightness or wrongness of it. I just give people a chance to play it and they draw their own conclusions.”

Letting the game speak for itself. This is it how should be done. Also, Eurogamer's hands-on preview which they link to seems to be confirming some of my fears for this game. I hadn't read it before but several problems they had with the demo is what I was worried about after watching all the footage from E3. Not counting this one out yet as it's received many Best of E3 awards... but it's a bit of a worry. Especially since I'm not a fan of Oblivion at all. Many complaints they had were the same with Oblivion. Hmm... we shall see. I hope for the best though.

Yes. Mr. Dyack's biggest mistakes was taking everything he read on the internet seriously. It might not have become such a fad to bash the game.

wangdiddy826487d ago (Edited 6487d ago )

the game looks out dated and from the vids i have seen looks pretty boring.. I feel this game will be over rated because of the developers..

I honestly think oblivion was a little over rated too.. I bought the game and liked it at first than i realized I have a freaking life!!! the game was way too slow for me and the action/combat wasnt all that satisfying to keep me playing.. That game had some really dumb parts to it too.. I guess if you have no life that would be a perfect game for you..

WengYong6487d ago

But thats just my opinion. I didnt like it so Fallout 3 didnt really hit my radar till e3. It looks okay, the idea of turn based shooting is just plain crap. I remember he said "Its for people who cant quite keep up with the action of FPS." lol. Fallout looks okay, but I aint convinced. Had a friend try to get me toplay Oblivion. He was telling me some of the quests and I thought to myself "You are seriously need to get laid dude" Games like that rob people of potential pimpage in there lives

Idonthatejustcreate6487d ago

That this game is too small because of the dvd9 capacity. 10 hours of story is not enough for a game like fallout. You need atleast 20 hours of story gameplay and atleast like 500 hours of side quests and exploring set alone.

SixTwoTwo6487d ago

Don't worry. If its anything like Oblivion we will get the same dungeon 100 times, 5 different enemy types to kill, a load of fetch quests, and all the NPC's will be related to each other and share the same 4 voices.

:/

kinggeoff6487d ago

lazy devs are. There are a lot of ways to prolong the gameplay experience without resorting to duplicating dungeons and redundant errands that have you running to the ends of the map and back

--Onilink--6487d ago

they already said it would be 100+ hours long

TOO PAWNED6487d ago

I was sceptic about this game since day 1, and still am. I really want it to be good, awesome, but i am afraid that it is going to turn into boring sandbox fps game.
I am more excited about Far Cry 2 than i am about Fallout. Both are sandbox games in FPS.

SixTwoTwo6487d ago

Skippin Fallout. Getting Far Cry. Sounds good.

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.

cloganart144d ago

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

walken7143d ago

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

Snookies12145d ago (Edited 145d 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.

Michiel1989144d 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_144d 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

jznrpg144d ago

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

Christopher144d ago

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

BlaqMagiq1144d 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??

Phoenix76216d ago

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

gigoran8216d 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

1nsomniac216d 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.

UltimateOwnage215d 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

ZeekQuattro404d 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.
