Fallout 3 Hands-On RPGFan Preview from E3

RPGFan writes:

"The game is absolutely gorgeous and uses the same physics engine as its predecessor-in-engine, Oblivion. This means that things move and sway and quite a bit of the environment can be destroyed. The demo threw players directly into the world just outside of Vault 101 and immediately there were vehicles that could be destroyed with massive explosions. Since they were nuclear powered as well, destroying them introduced radiation into the air, making the situation none too good for the main character. Players are also able to wear a great deal of clothing or armor (I was able to wander around in my underwear and a baseball cap beating people up with a baseball bat). Not many games come with a pedigree like that."

This just made Fallout 3 my most wanted title of the year.

"When I killed the sheriff of Megaton and stole his cowboy hat, the citizens of the city were none too happy with me and began to mob me. I had to flee the city and I lost access to the quests in the city. On the up side, however, I had a cowboy hat."

I was also very impressed with the trailer they just released - basically Oblivion with guns in a post-apocalyptic future (which is a good thing).

Another trailer I was really impressed by was the Resident Evil 5 video. My hype meter was about a 4 or 5 for this game pre-E3, but is not a 9 or 10!

RAM MAGNUMS6180d ago

I thought the vats targeting was the stupidest gimmick I've seen in a video game.
I know you can free roam and shoot 1st person but when things get tuff you turn into the terminator?
yuck!
the graphics & animation for the gore & characters look like a old duke nukem game on the pc.
fallout 3 is helping RPGs become overrated.
but to each is own.
if you are amped to play it, I won't stop you but please give your thoughts on the n4g forum so I can know that hopefully, I'm wrong.

Give us FO3 with all the dlc remastered like ESO. Load times faster, quality of life improvements, gun play improvements

I believe it shouldn't just be graphical they should make improvements where they can to make the game better. A simple face lift isn't what's needed

ZeekQuattro54d ago

Still my favorite one. I remember getting a digital copy of FO3 when I got FO4(XBO). It was nice to finally play a stable version of the game. Then when I got a Series S it was an even better expierence. Quick resume and FPS boost made it feel like a whole new game. Updated gunplay would be very welcome though. One of the few things FO4 did better.

New Vegas and Morrowind should have been first!

Christopher62d ago

Fairly certain we all know that New Vegas isn't getting anything because it's not a Bethesda developed game.

OMGitzThatGuy62d ago

MS owns both devs, if they want it, a 3rd party will make it.

***MS owns both devs, if they want it, a 3rd party will make it. ***

I think the issue is that it's not a Bethesda developed game, not that MS owns both. This is more about Todd.

RaidenBlack61d ago (Edited 61d ago )

Yep ... Todd doesn't like getting bettered within his own IP scope.
I still think of the Elder Scrolls spin-off Obsidian pitched similar to New Vegas, but Todd rejected.

RaidenBlack61d ago (Edited 61d ago )

Replayed NV more than FO3 ... so I appreciate the FO3 remaster more.
For NV, I'd much prefer a sequel or a spinoff from Obsidian.

FTLmaster62d ago

Got a soft spot for Fallout 3, so I'd be down to play this.

-Foxtrot62d ago

It's crazy New Vegas wasn't worked on first to launch alongside Fallout Season 2.

They could have added all the cut content they had planned but didn't have enough development time to add, possibly even expand on it a little more. For example, have the Vegas strip as one big hub over being chopped into smaller sections we have to keep loading into.

Would love a complete remake or sequel with enough resources

Abnor_Mal62d ago

The only Fallout game I’ve played, PS3 had to keep stopping every few minutes to save. Next thing I knew the credits were rolling and I never did any side quest. I never replayed the game because of all the bugs the game had.

Yui_Suzumiya61d ago (Edited 61d ago )

I've played Fallout 3 more than any game. I lost count many years ago of how many times I finished it. It was my first Platinum trophy. But yeah, it was buggy on PS3 at launch before it got properly patched.

They are only remaking their games that have been streamlined.
