Not even close to.. BREAKING NEWS: FALLOUT3

[Gorth]

The mudcrabs looks like they put up a bit more of a fight in this game

 

Otherwise, it looks like a western version of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. with bad combat. I almost expected that sheriff to grab a guitar, sit down and start singing in Russian. The pipboy and music felt completely out of place in this game

 

Somewhere on the Bethesda forums a poster noticed this, too. As for the music you have to remember that Fallout 3 is based on the 1950's versions of the future. To me, it therefore makes sense that the music used is from the 1950's in the game. This means there have been no hiphop, no breakdance, no house or dance music. Only the 1950's music - like a place frozen in time.

Oh, I know it is a tribute to the setting of the originals. My problem with the 5 movie clips was, that it was the only thing "50'es" about them. The had that retro "90'es" feel to it (hence the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. reference)

@IWTK3

Fallout 3 is neither elder scrolls with guns or Oblivion with guns and that wasn't what I was saying. What I was saying is that to expect Bethesda to make anything close to an interplay fallout is close to plain insanity.

 

When I say I'd rather have an axe than that lazer gun, you can safely assume I was being sarcastic.

Otoh, the non-vault locations in the originals didn't have all that much of the 50's vibe either... Nor did they have 50's music in those locations of course.

Why was the fallout with swords comment in edge magazine...

Fallout with swords, Oblivion with guns what's the difference?

 

I'm trying to deduce the comments origin.

Briosafreak's blog mentioned it at some point and I've heard it said about Arcanum.

[Dark_Raven]

Arcanum was cool in a steampunk way. F3 isn't.

Just for you, Dark Raven...

An interview with Emil Pagliarulo : http://www.gamasutra.com/view/feature/3775...ritage_the_.php

[Morgoth]

Emil worked at Locking Glass right? Makes F3 automatically +50% better on the score.

[Wrath of Dagon]

Yes, and Ion Storm Austin. Two Thief games in all.

[Stephen Amber]

To bring up another name, didn't know Bruce Nesmith was involved with Fallout 3 til a few days ago. He's old school TSR enough to have worked on Gamma World in the early 80's.

 

In the interview, interesting how Emil mentions that there in no creative lead, or design lead, for Fallout 3, with the executive producer being the "leader". Designers are simply designers with no such differentiation among them. As it should be.

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

Ron Pearlman plays in Fallout 3. Add +1 to the score.
