sharkz Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 I hope these havnt been posted yet, if they have go ahead and delete this: I'm thinking 'meh' right about now.
Pidesco Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 Well, the headshot was cool. "My hovercraft is full of eels!" - Hungarian touristI am Dan Quayle of the Romans.I want to tattoo a map of the Netherlands on my nether lands.Heja Sverige!!Everyone should cuffawkle more.The wrench is your friend.
Musopticon? Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 That does look sort of decent. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears. I had to fight against blood thirsty wolves and rabid penguins to get my food. Those who were too weak to survive were sent to Sweden. It has made me the man I am today. A man who craves furry hentai. So let us go and embrace the rustling smells of unseen worlds
Pidesco Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 Oh and also Bethesda devs should try and figure out how to use bloom properly. Oblivion had awful bloom, and by those screenies, Fallout 3 is going the same way.

Musopticon? Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 While I don't really go for the whole urban post-apoc thing, my preferences being of wastelandish origin, they did get the feel right. Shame about the bloom though. In the pics it's rather erratic. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears. I had to fight against blood thirsty wolves and rabid penguins to get my food.

sharkz Posted January 28, 2008 Author Posted January 28, 2008 That does look sort of decent. What really? I think it looks generic 101... The textures are the worst part, blah.

Gorth Posted January 29, 2008 Posted January 29, 2008 If they are going for Space Marines vs. Orks shooter game, they might as well have done a Warhammer 40k game. It may be a decent game or not, but nothing so far says "Fallout" to me :sad: More like S.T.A.L.K.E.R. with less scary opponents. “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

Dark_Raven Posted January 29, 2008 Posted January 29, 2008 Like yay. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
Winterwolf Posted January 29, 2008 Posted January 29, 2008 Well it seems I'm not the only one who finds the screenshots ugly. Perhaps they look better in motion? Enough with the dancing clown.
Slowtrain Posted January 29, 2008 Posted January 29, 2008 Wow. So hideously ugly. Bad art. Some of it looks like simply poorly rendered pencils. Not that it is, just looks like that way. That head pop is terrible. A lot of this must be placeholder stuff. I can only hope. Actually I don't really care. FO3 isn't really on my list of must buy games. 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.
Gorgon Posted January 29, 2008 Posted January 29, 2008 It looks stupid Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.
Tigranes Posted January 29, 2008 Posted January 29, 2008 The whole thing looks a lot more like Resident Evil / 24 Days Later, rather than Fallout (keeping in midn the huge differences in graphics, yes. It's all about feel), but if one gets past that, I think they did a lot of work to really put signs of decay everywhere they could. The screenshots are way to trigger-happy with Bruce Willis hollywood action chreography, but hey, they're screenshots, that's sort of inevitable. I'd say the weakest parts are the design decisions on characters and monsters, and the strongest areas are the environment itself (e.g. look at third from last shot with no characters; it looks the best IMO.)

Dagon Posted January 29, 2008 Posted January 29, 2008 (edited) They're ugly, the only good thing that can be seen on those is architecture that looks similar to Fallout. Very bad art direction, even the technical standards - they look 2 years old, and it's still a long way for the game to be published. This Super Mutant (?) with skulls looks stupid.

Sand Posted January 29, 2008 Posted January 29, 2008 It looks kind of "meh."

Meshugger Posted January 29, 2008 Posted January 29, 2008 The color-palette is non-existent, and the art is dreadful. Other than that, it looks mediocre enough to keep my interest.

Arkan Posted January 29, 2008 Posted January 29, 2008 My gripe. Supermutants aren't supposed to be 20 feet tall, right? And how about some screens of ghouls, radscorpions, or a deathclaw? SOMEthing else. "Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger." - Herman Goering at the Nuremberg trials "I have also been slowly coming to the realisation that knowledge and happiness are not necessarily coincident, and quite often mutually exclusive" - meta
Dark_Raven Posted January 29, 2008 Posted January 29, 2008 (edited) Ugly graphics, probably a sucky story, lame console port. Way to go and f*** up a good series Bethy! Edited January 29, 2008 by Dark_Raven Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
Sand Posted January 29, 2008 Posted January 29, 2008 Those aren't super mutants. They are super duper mutants!

Bos_hybrid Posted January 29, 2008 Posted January 29, 2008 WOW good to see people remaining objective about Fallout.... Next thing there will be console bashing.... wait...wait for it... Well, this is a 360 game. lame console port Oh it happened already. At post 7 and 19. Could some people please tell me what you could possibly do different with a post-apocalyptic world? I mean the graphics aren't earth shattering but Fallouts 1 & 2 weren't either. As for bloom well it is Bethesda, and if thats the only thing you can find to pick about.
Sand Posted January 29, 2008 Posted January 29, 2008 I will judge Fallout 3 based on the series past games of Fallout 1 and Fallout 2. So far I haven't really seen anything that I liked. It makes no difference to me if it is on console or PC, or even both, but if this game is to be part of the series it needs to look and play like it. Fallout 1 to Fallout 2, BG1 to BG2, NWN1 to NWN2, KotOR 1 to KotOR 2, and so forth have all done this. Fallout 3, it appears, will not.

I not going to run out and buy this game, I'll rent on 360 before buying it on PC, but I'm not simply going to ignore it and pick it to pieces, just because it doesn't have the same camera as the previous two, or because its no longer 2D etc etc. Those thing didn't make Fallout good IMO, it was the story, the characters and the gameplay. If Beth can't produces these things, then its not Fallout IMO. Edited January 29, 2008 by Bos_hybrid
