    PSM3 Fallout 3 hands-on preview

    You really think throwing is still in? My guess is that Explosives covers thrown grenades and the knives and such have been dropped. P.S. Everyone freaking out at the robot pony is being dumb. It's just a retro ad along the lines of getting a giant hovering nuclear robot so it can walk your...

    Emil speaks on Fallout 3 combat, armor and more.

    You guys say "I bet" with so much ridiculous shit I really need to start calling em. If I got even one dollar each time I could retire. Far more likely is a set of nice clothes giving you +1 charisma ala Mirrored Shades or googles that boost perception or something.

    Really what popped out most to me was Thrown weapons seem to be in.

    Keeping faith in Fallout 3

    Sure, a favorite series of mine are the Panzer Dragoon games. (If you count them as post apoc then it bumps Fallout's setting into 2nd place) The 1st, 2nd and 4th games were all excellent 360 degree railshooters and the 3rd was one of the best JRPGs ever made. That seems a signifigantly...

    Guy on blog: Diablo 3 vs Fallout 3

    No, Isometric perspective pretty much is dead. Words mean things and I hate when people just make up their own definitions of words that already have specific meaning. I mean look at the guy in the article. What the hell is this guy saying? Is he trying to claim the game is 2d with 1st...

    Nah the "Combat Harness" or whatever that is probably just asymetrical. The fan interview is supposed to be done this week so we should get some more info on how they're handling armor. I expect it'll be similar to oblvion (different slots for different parts but items can take up multiple...

    Yeah, the pic was on page two of the EGM article along with a shot of a pack brahmin that hasn't been released in digital form.

    Pretty sure this one is old too, maybe in a magazine (EGM?).

    Todd Howard on X-Play, again

    So your point, aside from "I am a giant flaming asshole", is that you dislike random aiming and damage within a first person game. That is fine. If you didn't couch your language like you had the master plan for exactly what mechanics can be used with what perspective then we probably wouldn't...

    Todd Howard on X-Play, again

    No, you are patently wrong for stating "in a first-person game, you control the aim and that means that you can't have random damage ranges. The two do not follow each other. Now you could certainly say "I dislike having random damage in a 1st person game." That is entirely reasonable and I...

    Todd Howard on X-Play, again

    Except you're patently wrong on that claim. I'll use TF2 again because you seemed to have ignored it the first time and I'm most familiar with it. Team Fortress 2 has damage ranges on all weapons. Let us take the medic's syringe gun as an example which has a damage range of 10-15. So yes even...

    Todd Howard on X-Play, again

    I don't really follow you here. Randomization is put into games, irrespective of genre or perspective, to make the game less predictable. Some people might think that being perfectly predictable is preferable (witness the brouhaha from TF purists about the presence of not only damage ranges on...

    Todd Howard on the Hot Seat

    I do kinda like the direction they're heading with the old music they've selected. In "Anything Goes" it talks about how times have changed and how the world is a madhouse and how, as the title suggests, anything goes. Thats a pretty accurate assessment of the state of fallout's world but it's...

    Todd Howard on X-Play

    Ok enough with the ridiculous personal attacks and on to what was actually said. Having had more time to work with the engine and the various platforms has doubled the effective amount of stuff on screen at once. He mentioned that there are 13 skills in the game, down from 14 previously...

    TGR Fallout 3 interview

    What's wrong with that question? The context is clearly about getting a face to face meeting when you're trying to get into the industry.

    It's a colon because the full poster has Enlist Today beneath it. Here's the poster on the bus.

    A bit of propaganda

    This isn't a Bosch painting here. Uncle Sam (America) is in trouble. YOU at home can help Sam(America) by enlisting in the military The symbol of the military in 2077 was the Power Armor Remember the power armor helmet with the flag waving in the background, urging you to buy war bonds?
