PSU Fallout 3 Preview from E3 2008

PSU writes: "Fallout shelters are great, aren't they? They're always packed to the brim with awesome canned foods and powdered milk. What more could you possibly hope for? Not much, except for an awesome videogame to occupy your time. I had the chance today to test the latest installment to the Fallout franchise, Fallout 3. Developed by Bethesda, Fallout 3 utilizes a vast world much like that of Elder Scrolls with the exception of a nuclear holocaust instead of lush forests. I'll get this out of the way right now - I am unable to discuss load screens, quest directives, achievements (irrelevant for us), and perks. I am allowed to talk to you guys about pretty much everything else, unfortunately that ends up being very minimal considering I only had 24 minutes to fool around with the game."

Im just curious....To people who play these sorts of games, im a massive fan of post apocalyptic worlds...But in these RPG's is there much of a storyline...does it reach a climax ...how does it work?

Edit: oh no i understand that, its just....Is the storyline strong throughout with an epic ending or ?? because in these types of games you sorta build the character yourself...so...they cant really use your character in the story much (personality wise)...so how does the climax approach to these kinds of games...or do they just sorta die out?

Captain Tuttle6192d ago

Fallout 1 & 2 had a great, interconnected story. In Fallout 2 your character is a descendant of the protagonist from Fallout 1. Fallout 2 takes place 80 years after the end of the first one. The climax of the first is epic and appropriate...the climax of the second is the same. Both games are very non-linear though. You can fight your way through or use diplomacy. There are certain things you have to do in order to advance the story but there are multiple ways of completing each task. You can pretty much do whatever you want in between tasks though including multiple side quests.

Give them a shot, you won't be disappointed.

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

ZeekQuattro67d 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!

Christopher75d ago

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

OMGitzThatGuy74d 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.

RaidenBlack74d ago (Edited 74d 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.

RaidenBlack74d ago (Edited 74d 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.

FTLmaster75d ago

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

-Foxtrot74d 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_Mal74d 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_Suzumiya74d ago (Edited 74d 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.
