Fallout 3...GotY 08'?

[Snadinator]

Anyone else see the G4 footage of this game last night (different than the Microsoft E3 show)?

During the game play, they zoomed in with a head shot, successfully landed the head shot, and when the person fell, their arm and leg became detached!!! Does anyone else think this is cheesy and unrealistic?

Then they shot a woman in the chest with a teddy bear launcher (you can launch things you find in the world) and her body exploded, limbs and head flying off, because a soft teddy bear hit her chest?

I’m all for blood and gore, but I hope they fix this, it’s laughable.

Do yourself a favor and go buy the originals on the PC.

This is **NOT** a game like Gears of War or Halo!!! This is an RPG with gratuitous violence and over-the-top action with humorous situations and characters.

Many believe the originals were some of the best games ever.

HEAR HEAR BROTHER! I believe they are some of the best games ever personally, I have gotten so much play out of them. Even bought the MAC port for each, play that on the go and it's awesome. I will have to play both through again before 3 comes out.

Check out the G4 video, Adam Sessler is just as stoked as I am:

OK, I will. Maybe I'm just not "getting it."

Q. Are they compatible with the Xbox contoller on PC (like BioShock & Crysis)?

Dude, they're from the 90s. There may be some way to get it to work but support is definitely not built in.

Ya, these are old games.

Cheesy or not, violence like that is priceless.

Honestly? FO3 looks boring, the graphics are medicore...and its probably too long. FO3 = game for hardcore bethesda junkies.

I really can't get over how medicore the graphics were. It seemed promising, now it just seems lackluster. GOTY will go to MGS4, GTAIV, or Gears 2.

how people can feel an RPG can be too long? Seriously, I just don't get it. Can someone clue me in on this?

The entire reason that WoW and EQ and EVE do so well is because RPG junkies can't get ENOUGH of their favorite games. I can see how twitchies would lose interest after fifteen minutes, put the game down, come back in two hours and forget what was going on in the storyline. But RPG people? I can't see how any RPG person could complain about the length of an RPG.

Complain about quality, absolutely. If something sucks, I don't want to be subjected to extra hours of it. But if it's good, pile it on. This 30 hour storyline model is really getting annoying.

I don't know why but their character models always put me off. The graphics weren't quite as good as I was expecting but I'll get the game regardless.

I suspect Gears is not going to be a GOTY contender, honestly. The other two probably...this, I'd say still definitely has a chance. Ok, it won't be your GOTY...but I don't think a lot of people really get why people are excited about this. I think they're just looking at it as another shooter, in which case, it does look pretty average. But...it's a whole lot more than that.

i agree. if i am paying 60 bucks for a game i want it to be as long as possible. and the longer the rpg the better for me. i put 100 hours into oblivion

Anyone hear anything about the Hubologists? I would REALLY REALLY love to see them come back .

For people that never played Fallout 2; The Hubologists were a group who were a mirror image of Scientologists. I'm sure they would get much more flak these days for including this group, but they were really a hilarious group to interact with...Every bit as psychotic at the real deal .

AND here is a comic for old Interplay (the original publisher behind Fallout) fans, sad but true:

I'm looking forward to it. If they keep the same humor and manage to capture that Mad Max post-apocalyptic flavor to the art design, then it could be a fun game to play. I'm not looking for a revolution in game design with a Fallout game, I'm looking for a FALLOUT game. If Bethesda can keep the same feel and bring up to this generation of graphics I'll be a happy camper. Hopefully having Qui Gon Jin as your dad won't be quite as underwhelming as having Captain Picard (briefly) as your king.
