TVGB: Hands-on Fallout 3

TVGB writes: "Being one of the more highly anticipated titles of the year, Fallout 3 was a game that I was bound and determined to get my hands on during PAX this last weekend. Thankfully for me, I did indeed get a good chunk of time with it, and it has done nothing to fuel my excitement for the game. Read on to find out what happened during my play time, but be warned - since I'll be focusing on the story rather than gameplay mechanics, which we've already heard and seen so much of, there are certainly some spoilers from early in the game.

My time with the game started as one of the Bethesda guys loaded a save that started right before I exited the vault. Apparently there will be something at the start of the game that forces you out of your shelter, with some combat involved, because before I even left the vault, the loading screen showed some statistics that said I had killed some enemies already. I asked the guy from Bethesda about it and he said we weren't allowed to see that part yet. As I exited the vault my screen was blinded by light, which made sense as in the game, the character has never been outside before. After the light died down and the protagonist's eyes adjusted to the sun, I could see out quite a ways in front of me. I saw a smaller building out to my left, and what seemed to be a fenced off town farther to the right. I assumed the town would have something to do with plot progression, so I decided to explore the smaller building before I got caught up in something big."

I like games with storyline. Not fetch quests.

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.

cloganart133d ago

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

walken7133d ago

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

Snookies12134d ago (Edited 134d 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.

Michiel1989133d 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_134d 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

jznrpg134d ago

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

Christopher133d ago

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

BlaqMagiq1134d 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??

Phoenix76206d ago

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

gigoran8205d 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

1nsomniac205d 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.

UltimateOwnage205d 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

ZeekQuattro393d 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.
