    Mark Morgan is not scoring Fallout: New Vegas

    Damn. You know, I had the same fear with CoP's STALKER: Call of Pripyat. Initially the first two games had ambient clearly inspired by Morgan's work in Fallout. The latest title switched to orchestral music, and I feared it would decay into the same tiddly toddly generic bad action movie crap...

    The Book of Eli in cinemas now

    Depending on where the movie is in terms of the scale of idealism versus cynicism it could be anywhere from the guy being the second coming of Moses who brings peace and love to the wartorn world, to a delusional old man, blindly killing in desperate, effortless rage, clinging to a tattered old...

    Rumor: Fallout: New Vegas features

    I must say that the rumors are making me quite enthusiastic about this. Only thing better than reimplementation of Van Buren's ideas would be if they included a signed copy of Todd Howard's death certificate.

    If your character had the option to settle down in a F2 town

    If we're counting Fallout 3, Little Lamplight. There's no place I'd be safer than there, protected by guards not even a dozen enclave soldiers could hope to even barely scratch. I'd shoot the dogs, train them to be child soldiers, and take over the wasteland with them. If only F2, then...

    Trend towards linearity (CYOA->RPG)

    You're saying that the RPG evolution is leading towards simpler, more linear plots. That's a fact. That's the nature of such evolution, that it picks what's best. However this is also tied with what *is* best. What RPG is better and which is worse. This is the core of the problem, as this...

    Ron Perlman mentions Fallout movie

    I really want that to happen. I want that movie to be directed by Uwe Boll or any other lobotomized labmonkey. I want it to be even worse than the stat wars holiday specials. I want it to be so bad it redefines the meaning of "bad movie". They raped Fallout on Earth, they raped it in space...

    John Carmack speculates

    Games developed for phones or other small hand-held devices are by design casual games, meaning that the storyline and plot, should there be one, would be irrelevant to the gameplay. That's because those games aren't used as an end by themselves, or actually meant to be used that way. Pick up...

    The Next Level Interviews Bethesdas Emil Pagliarulo

    I keep telling you guys. Bethesda's philosophy is simple. What makes a game good? What makes a game a success? What's the difference between a proud achievement and a lousy failure? [spoiler:896c2d871a]MONEY[/spoiler:896c2d871a] It's that simple. That's the reason...

    Pissed off by aliens (and liking it)

    I believe this man is suffering from the "phantom storyline syndrom".

    Interviews, Jeff Gardiner, Mothership Zeta

    Ladies and gentlemen, we have just passed the point of no return. By producing an alien DLC bethesda gave a clear indication on the character of the next game. I find it amusing there are people who hope bethesda will "learn on the mistakes" of Fallout 3. What looks like a mistake in...

    First Mothership Zeta pic at extreme low quality!

    The way it's going, I'd rather have the aliens euthanize it all than see another hideous inbred mutant like Fallout 3.

    First Mothership Zeta pic at extreme low quality!

    Remember Michael Jackson? The person who turned from an attractive black heterosexual boy into an ugly white pedosexual woman? Well, this is just about as wrong as that.

    I hate "War Never Changes".

    Fallout 1, 2 and even the tactics intro focused on history, - the how and why while having a different tone - not pseudo-philosophy. "Blood has been spilled in the name of everything, from God to justice to simple psychotic rage" That's an actual quote, yes. The famous "War never...

    Are we better prepared for the future (wasteland) ?

    Fallout doesn't help us survive at all, by itself at least. It might however inspire people to undertake real survivalism. There's a game called Stalker: Shadow of Chernobyl for example. What if, supposedly, that game inspired a certain guy to actually break into the Zone of Alienation in...

    Are we better prepared for the future (wasteland) ?

    The most important thing in survival is motivation. And so I know I would survive. Playing Fallout 3 has taught us all a lot of important lessons - actually, have a look in the Fallout 3 forum, I think it currently has over 250 items - such as, children are invincible, so make lots of em...

    Things we learned from Fallout 3

    253. A firearm's muzzle velocity is proportional to your skill with that weapon. In the hands of an unskilled shooter the bullet will leave the rifle with a pop and bounce off the target. Therefor you never need to supervise first-time shooters at the range, 'cause they won't be able to do any...
