karka Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 If it's true, we'll have a great "post apocalyptic" mod for Oblivion. http://www.gamernews.org/2007/01/19/fallou...-says-bethesda/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sand Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 (edited) Yep, Fallout in name only. It will be dumb downed just like Oblivion was I am sure.

Sand Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 Hardly. I am expecting a real time game with a First Person/Third Person toggle with no ability to form a party set in a fairly empty game world with a story that has no substance to it. Basically, Oblivion with Guns.

Pop Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 I don't know how anyone couldn't have expected this to happen.

Sand Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 I am expecting that tech demo of Van Buren I downloaded to be more Fallout that Bethesda's Fallout. I expect Fallout Tactics to be more akin to Fallout than Bethesda's Fallout.

Dark_Raven Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 Fallout 3 = sucky (as it has been said many times already, in name only.) Consoles = sucky A lose lose situation. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meshugger Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 For a reference, has there been any PC game that hasn't suffered from being a consoleport?

Pop Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 Oddly enough, I've read the same objections raised against the Alien game. Not on this board, but in places where having such opinions wouldn't be considered trolling. The complaints seem to be that it's not going to be a pure PC game and Obsidian doesn't make the kind of games that cater to the setting. I like to point out that faults of old Obs games won't necessarily make it into the Alien game, and that the game has great potential, but when you know absolutely nothing about a game naysayers will always have the edge in an argument.

Hurlshort Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 Uh, that article says absolutely nothing about the game being on the Xbox360. It's completely baseless speculation. The only thing they know is that the game is using the same game engine as Oblivion. Now clearly we won't have turn based combat in 2D, but I don't need that to make a game Fallout. I need excellent characters and storylines, an awesome post-apocalyptic world, and the SPECIAL character creation system. I think Bethesda is a decent enough company, so I'll reserve judgement until I actually play the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simple reading comprehension need not apply. Seriously though, it's funny that the title implies that it is "Not unlikely says Bethesda" yet, as you pointed out, there's nothing from anyone that even hints at it. All it is is the author saying it would make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorth Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 Pessimist or no, I just can't imagine the Fallout "feel" recreated on the Oblivion engine... It's like opposites that meet, matter - antimatter, pasta - antipasta etc. :'( “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

Amentep Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 I'll wait until I see something from the game itself before even thinking of forming an opinion. Or something. I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slowtrain Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 I bet its going to be awesome! I'm ready to order now. Notice how I can belittle your beliefs without calling you names. It's a useful skill to have particularly where you aren't allowed to call people names. It's a mistake to get too drawn in/worked up. I mean it's not life or death, it's just two guys posting their thoughts on a message board. If it were personal or face to face all the usual restraints would be in place, and we would never have reached this place in the first place. Try to remember that.

Volourn Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 "It will be dumb downed just like Oblivion was I am sure." Says someone who LOVES Oblivion. :crazy: FO3 is being made by Bethesda which means the chances for me to like it are very, very low.
