Kaftan Barlast Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 It would be nic if I had anything to quote here, but the thing is that out guys came back from Leipzig a few days ago and although Bethesda Softworks had a flashy monter, they did not show anything else from the game except a trailer. With the release of Fallout 3 just 2 months away, this is very unusual and a potential sign that the roverbial dog has been improperly buried. Are the bugs still in the bag, meaning another delay? Or is Fallout 3 perhaps so bad that Bethesda is waiting as long as they can before showing the possible stinkfest to avoid a negative pre-release buzz?

Kaftan Barlast Posted August 28, 2008 Author Share Posted August 28, 2008 If you dont have a playable to show when you're two months away from release, SOMETHING ISNT RIGHT. You have other companies showing alphas, betas and even overnight builds.. but bethesda? Nothing. And thats at the largest game event in Europe.

Hurlshort Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Aren't they supposed to be showing it off at PAX? Yep, they are supposed to have about 6 kiosks available to play the full game. Maybe Bethesda just hates Euro's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaftan Barlast Posted August 28, 2008 Author Share Posted August 28, 2008 If theyll demo it at PAX but not at GDC, then they have their priorities wrong, to put it mildly.

WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 I think they forgot they have to release the game in 2 months. "Alright, I've been thinking.

Volourn Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 They don't 'have' to do anything. Games get postponed all the time. L0L On top of this, Bethesda has already shown a demo, and have allowed people to play it. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.

Lare Kikkeli Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Yeah gotta agree with Vol here. They just didn't care enough to put a demo up. That's not to say F3 won't be a complete failure though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lare Kikkeli Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 ...That's not to say F3 won't be a complete failure though. WAT? Sorrry, meant to write "won't necessarily be a complete failure". Beth has made some dodgy design decisions, like level scaling, and the game is bound to be a buggy mess at release. I'll probably get it, but I have my doubts.

Llyranor Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 I thought there were a bunch of previews for FO3 from GC, no? I wasn't really paying attention. Apparently the game was playable at X08 in Toronto last week. Some people were even saying it was best of show (even though Gears2 was playable there, Kaftan - the outrage, THE OUTRAGE).

Meshugger Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Now, now. We all know the REAL REASON behind Bethesda not showcasing a playable demo in Leipzig. It's because they realize due to the superior european taste in everything compared to those backwards, barbaric and consoletargeted aumeerikkaans. Any Bethesda developer FEARS US, since we would ask them questions about the gameplay, who wouldn't involve how "cool" it is or how fun it is to blow someone's head off. We would DESTROY THEM in every way, expose their juvenile level in gamedesign, and obliterate any credibility that they have left. Now pass on the wine, my dear plebs.

I doubt there's a sinister conspiracy going on, since the game was playable at X08. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears.

Kaftan Barlast Posted August 29, 2008 Author Share Posted August 29, 2008 Im afraid I must corrct my previous information; there WAS a playable version at GDC, but it was restricted to demos given by the Bethesda guys. Noone from the press and industry was allowed to test it.
