.... that doesn't really show much. If that's in-engine, though, it does look nice.

Music gives me a Bioshock flashback

BREAKING NEWS: No.

More like FO1+2 influence which Bioschock was influenced by whether intentionally or not.

The trailer gave me a good vibe -- too bad that most of what I've already heard about FO3 has done the opposite...

The trailer is actually ok, but nothing mesmezing really.

It looks like FO1/2 atmosphere from the trailer...actually looks like a dead-on copy of the original FO lead-in video. Tells us absolutely zilch about the game, though.

3 months until release, and we still haven't seen any gameplay? But hey, it's going to be awesome, I read that in a preview.

Pretty, but insubstantial. That's why it's a "teaser", I guess...

Supposedly, the merit is that it's done entirely with in-game assets.

Isn't there going to be some sort of in-game demonstration on Monday?

first half is 50's parody and second half gameplay.

Hey, that gameplay actually looks pretty nice.

 

fanboy bitching in 3...2....

 

OOOPZ, I SAID BITCH, I MUST BE TROLLING!

If we ignore the really boring looking slowmotion then, yes, it does indeed look quite good. I'm hoping that if nothing else, I'll be able to walk around a wasteland shooting things. We simply don't have enough of those games.

I have to admit it looks good, but with the camera angles and real time gameplay it just doesn't look Fallout enough, though it looks far more Fallouty than FOPOS. Of course that doesn't take too much. It might be a good game, but the question remains... Will it be a good Fallout game?

PROTIP: watch the trailer up to the point where the caption "FALLOUT 3" appears on screen, to find out the answer to that question.

Just because it has Fallout on the title screen does not make it a good and proper Fallout game. If I call a pile of crap a rose it will still be a pile of crap and smell just as bad.

That really depends on what you define as 'Fallout' then.

And just because you think(emphasis lol) it's not a Fallout game it won't suddenly unmake the title. Bethesda has the grip on the license and it's still a freaking Fallout game.

My definition of Fallout is Fallout 1 and 2.

 

Muso, at first I was adamant that Fallout 3 was going to be a bad Fallout game, along the lines of FOPOS, but now seeing some more material of the game I am not so sure. I will remain skeptical of it until I play the game myself.

Thing is then, purely on gameplay, it isn't a fallout game, any more than Halo Wars is a Halo game (for example). But if it manages to actually capture the atmosphere of the original games (which is possible), as well as the roleplaying elements (which is not) then it is a worthy fallout game, so I get what you are saying.

 

Problem is that even if it's IN NAME ONLY! It's still got that name, and Beth are going to keep on trying to push their innane conversation minigames on it.

 

Which is a pity since, ultimately, the RP/talking elements were one of the things that made Fallout good (combat? graphics? music? hahahahahah).

Two gameplay videos:

This game looks horrible, even without comparing it to the first two Fallouts.

At first, I was admant that FO3 would be a fun game, along the lines of STALKER, but now, as the game gets closer to release I am less and less convinced that it wil be worth playing at all.

 

Funnny, ha ha?

What is sad is F:POS is *almost* looking like a better game than Fallout 3.

Stalker is a FPS, not a CRPG. Fallout 3 is suppose to be a CRPG. I also agree with you Nick, the RP/talking aspects of Fallout were damn good and are more important than anything else when it comes to make a good Fallout game, but I still like the old turn base combat more than the real time elements they are putting.
