UGO GameBanshee on October 23 published a 4-page preview of Fallout 3 based on a gameplay demo at the 2007 Games Convention in Leipzig, Germany. The demo covers character creation, the Vault, combat, radiation, Megaton (the first town), dialogue, the first task or quest, subway tunnels, supermutants, and Brotherhood of Steel.
The Good:
+ Keeps quite a bit of the original Fallout setting intact
+ Graphic is simply a notch up overall from Oblivion
+ Real-time with pause (RTwP) combat system, denoted as V.A.T.S., is probably an improvement over a pure real-time system; the RTwP system feels like it'll end up pretty close to the one in BioWare's Mass Effect
+ Dialogue and quests are promised to be deep and complex, with big (moral) consequences, hazy choices, gray areas, and expansive dialogue branches.
The Bad:
- Lacking a consistent vision
- A slight obsession in the demo with juvenile violence
- How well the main plot can offer the freedom and choices the originals did is an open question
The Ugly:
- Most of traditionalist Fallout fans' worst fears came true
- It is not a direct sequel to the originals; it falls a bit more on the side of a spin-off
- It is almost guaranteed to be at least enjoyable by fans of previous Bethesda games; but for big fans of originals Fallout who expect a sequel to hold close to the originals design in both setting and gameplay, set it and forget it.
A remaster of Bethesda Game Studios' 2008 action role-playing game, Fallout 3, is planned for release at some point in the future.
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.
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.
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.
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
Everyone there should know most gamers want New Vegas and Morrowind more than anything.
Which is why we won't get them. Gotta keep floating "support this one and it might happen".
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.
Fallout 4 isn't the worst game in the franchise. It's either Fallout 76 or Fallout BOS that's the worst.
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
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.
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.
Fallout 3 game designer Bruce Nesmith explains that the upcoming remaster should revise the game's gunplay to be more modern.
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
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.
betheseda produces gaming gold...while i haven't played previous Fallout IPs....I can't wait to get my hands on this one!
and Im looking forward to this one especially with the oblivion team bringing it.
The purists will tell you that if it's not a 2D isometric view turn-based game in can in no way be Fallout. I disagree. Let those guys keep making mods.
Although I am a bit bummed they turned down the "grittiness" of it...one of my most satisfying moments in gaming was the first time I planted some dynamite on those little punks in The Den who always rob you blind.
Thats a bad quality? I'm confused.
Listen to the Game Scoop podcast abouit hsi game, its gonna be friggin AWESOME. ANd yes I loved the first 2, but Isometric Views? It is sooooo last season! Bring on the 3d and dont listen to the old hags!
