Fallout 3: Vaults, Paranoia, Social Experiments & Dread

Consider the legendary 'Vaults'.
Some are built to house 1,000 women, and only one man. Others, 1,000 men and only one woman. Some are filled with guns, others devoid of weapons. Some are designed to gradually fall apart, demanding that their occupants constantly battle against degrading systems and rusting valves. Some released psychotropic drugs into the atmosphere ten days after the doors were shut. Just to see what happened.

These ideas of Vaults being test grounds for goverment are mostly from Fallout 2. Glad to see they didn't completely forget about it even though original Fallout is Bethesda's main inspiration for F3.

Shankle6726d ago

I've never played a fallout game myself, but I hope this one's as good as you think it will be.

MK_Red6726d ago

As my fellow N4G member The Snake said, Fallout 1 & 2 are considered the best RPG games of all time. CVG even used Fallout as the best RPG ever along with Deus Ex.
But to enjoy it, you must be a western RPG fan since it has a truly different feel and gameplay from JRPGs. Plus, Fallout 3 is being designed by a new team (Bethesda) and not makers of original Fallout 1&2 ( Black Isle).

Just remember that the dreaded and horrible PS2 and Xbox Fallout game had nothing to do with the classics and was a dirty cash-in from then publisher Interplay.
Behtesda has officially said that PS2 / Xbox game called Fallout Brotherhood of Steel is considered fake and uncannon and has nothing to do with new game which is follow up to the classic Fallout 2.

I'm more than sure that Fallout 3 won't be anywhere near Fallout 1 or 2 in terms of depth or gameplay but if Bethesda even tries to do some of the classic stuff, Fallout 3 could end up the best western RPG of our time even though it will be nothing compared to the legendary Fallout 2.

I keep reading it's turn-based. I really hope that's not the case otherwise i'll have to skip this one. I'll be looking forward to it if it's not thought.

MK_Red6726d ago

It's not Turn Based at all. Fallout 3 can be played as a full FPS in vein of COD4 and BioShock.
The thing is that there is an option to pause at the start of each battle and aim for a cartain body part of one enemy and watch a really really gory cinematic scene as that part gets destroyed.

MK_Red6726d ago

Now if only they'd release some gameplay footage and show the 3D and HD Wastelands in motion.

mighty_douche6726d ago

Probably gonna be my FIRST console RPG.....! Im a little excited to have a nice single player experience.

Jinxstar6726d ago

This looks great. I know MK is just as stoked as me ;-)

Game on guys.

/Jinxstar eagerly awaits the Fallout!

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.

cloganart146d ago

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

walken7146d ago

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

Snookies12147d ago (Edited 147d 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.

Michiel1989147d 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_147d 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

jznrpg147d ago

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

Christopher146d ago

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

BlaqMagiq1147d 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??

Phoenix76219d ago

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

gigoran8218d 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

1nsomniac218d 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.

UltimateOwnage218d 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

ZeekQuattro406d 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.
