Gamecell: Fallout 3 Review

Gamecell writes: "I felt little more than a vaguely tepid interest in the ongoing development of Fallout 3 and as its release approached, apathy gave way to something verging on mild hostility. I'm more than a bit fond of Black Isle's previous seminal stuff and I couldn't escape this terrible sense that it was all going to end in tears. I wasn't charmed by Oblivion, I felt that in its rush to join the next gen, it took some backward steps from what had been established strongly with Morrowind instead of building on it. Like a devastatingly pretty girl with a severe stutter, comical facial tics and an unfeasibly fat ass, it was blighted with the usual bugs and wrinkles that are as integral to the Elder Scrolls package as the ambitious world building. I found it a stodgy, bloated experience, afflicted with curious design decisions that arguably hindered rather than enhanced its potential. All of this, along with an uneven mix in the quality of quests (the Dark Brotherhood being a memorable high point), left me feeling stuck between admiration and exasperation."

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.

cloganart153d ago

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

walken7153d ago

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

Snookies12154d ago (Edited 154d 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.

Michiel1989153d 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_154d 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

jznrpg153d ago

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

Christopher153d ago

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

BlaqMagiq1153d 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??

Phoenix76226d ago

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

gigoran8225d 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

1nsomniac225d 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.

UltimateOwnage225d 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

ZeekQuattro413d 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.
