2404: Fallout 3 Review

Review by Kyle Stegerwald:

"Fallout 3 as a game is almost unimportant. It's been a rhetorical creation for so long that actually playing it feels weird. It's not quite "is this it?", but it's close. After ten years, a cancellation, layoffs, buyouts, spin, seemingly interminable PR offensives and endless rivers of online ink spilled, I half-expected Fallout 3 to be cataclysmic – either very good or very, very bad. I was leaning towards the latter. It's neither. It's a competent follow-on to Oblivion that's going to sell a lot of copies and infuriate people who will only play a Fallout if it's isometric, turn-based, and stays just on the right side of pop culture references. But in a double-blind test most people would be forced to admit that, while it doesn't quite have the atmosphere or follow the letter of the Lore, it's a lot more similar to Fallout than it would first appear. And it's not that terrible either."

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.

cloganart175d ago

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

walken7174d ago

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

Snookies12175d ago (Edited 175d 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.

Michiel1989175d 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_175d 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

jznrpg175d ago

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

Christopher175d ago

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

BlaqMagiq1175d 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??

Phoenix76247d ago

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

gigoran8247d 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

1nsomniac246d 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.

UltimateOwnage246d 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

ZeekQuattro434d 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.
