I think this is the best solution. We get a quality ending, and still have the option to keep playing.

I'm still amazed that Bethesda literally won awards for writing in Fallout 3. The writing was, IMO, the worst aspect of the game. None of it made any logical sense at all. I think the way Obsidian is approaching this is much better. It sounds like they're putting a true Fallout-style...

Some of you are trying to defend them over this ladder business. Just stop it. Early bots for Quake would climb ladders (Reaper Bot). Enemies in SiN would climb ladders. Left 4 Dead 1 and 2 makes extensive use of ladders for how the infected get around the maps. The bots made for...

Anyone who thinks the Gamebryo engine can make "open worlds" hasn't been paying attention. Huge chunks of Fallout 3 are just big rooms with skyboxes for a ceiling. Look out behind the Lincoln Memorial, towards Megaton, and try to claim you're in an "open world". Not that this is bad, mind...

He needs to be a bit more chubbier (F2 face is pretty round), and have a bit more wrinkles on his skin, but even given that he doesn't look too bad. I recognized him before I saw that it was, in fact, him. I must say, at this point I'm actually looking forward to this game, and I hope...

This was a really great interview. I really need to play Arcanum again. It's been a few years, and that is definitely one of the better RPGs ever. I loved it for how original it was, considering it used a lot of familiar themes. I really enjoyed the crafting system, with the engineering...

I just have this to add. Words of wisdom from an expert. When asked why Diablo 3 was keeping the isometric viewpoint, and not following the trend of making it a first person perspective, Leonard Boyarsky, the lead world designer for Diablo 3, had this to say: But what does he know? He...

The slo-mo change actually sounds great to me. I don't totally dislike the VATS system, but he excessive slo-mo shots really get old after awhile.

Oh so now Fallout was a sci-fi game? mmmkay...

I refused to use the car in Fallout 2 because the rubber tires would have been gone that long after the war. Oh wait, no I didn't. I don't get the attitude that the game should be realistic. Fallout was NEVER about realism. Science! isn't realism. If you are yammering about...

My god that brought back memories to me for some reason. I remember seeing this game "Fallout" at Best Buy. I had never heard of it, but I loved the Mad Max movies, so I bought it. It totally blew me away. Up to that point my only experience with RPG games was all fantasy based, and it...

None of this should be surprising in any way. The people working on this were the ones responsible for Vault City and New Reno. I'm actually relieved we don't have 30's style Chicago gangsters on every street corner, and perfectly manicured lawns...

Oddly, I'm looking forward to this game. I'm giving Obsidian the benefit of the doubt here. I think I've finally resigned myself to the reality that the Fallout style games (F1, F2) have been killed.

Considering the target platform of Fallout NV is the Xbox360, I don't think Starcraft II coming out would have any noticeable effect on how well the game does.

Rage won't be canceled. It will just end up being the first id game without a Linux client, mod tools, or a source code release in a few years...

I don't see a problem with splitting big guns up and putting them in categories by ammo type. I think it's a good change.

A gas mask was also a part of the original Fallout box art.

If you guys take it to the finish line, and put it up for sale, I'll buy it if it turns out to be a a continuation of what Fallout should have been. Make a Linux client too! :)

I think it looks amazing, and it shows exactly why Bethesda was so wrong to try to act like the only way a game could be done is to make it a first person perspective. Imagine if Fallout 3 had used an engine like this... Keep up the great work, I'm keeping a close eye on this one.

From a financial standpoint, I agree with the premise. From an artistic standpoint, I roll my eyes in disgust at the premise. Fallout 3 sacrificed the core game play mechanics of the games it's supposed to be based on, so that it would appeal to ADD gamers.
