Compared to the first two Fallout games, Fallout 3 is a pale imitation that may anger many fans of the original games. However, comparing Fallout 3 to similar games like Morrowind, Oblivion, Gothic, Two Worlds, Assassins Creed, etc presents a much more favourable reaction. I think that it's the best game Bethesda have produced since the Daggerfall days and that really says something about the game. The most important feature of the game is the promise of great things to come from Bethesda in the future, so let's get those monkeys out of the office and kick some ass. God knows, it's been long overdue.
Fallout 3 game designer Bruce Nesmith explains that the upcoming remaster should revise the game's gunplay to be more modern.
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
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.
The rumoured Fallout 3 Remaster is still in development, but it will be years until fans get to play it on new platforms.
Fairly certain we all know that New Vegas isn't getting anything because it's not a Bethesda developed game.
***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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Fallout: Yesterday is the re-imagining of the cancelled Fallout 3 game, and it looks awesome.
Excellent review... Much more accurate than the 'game of the year' bull$hit written elsewhere.
Bethesda universe makes no sense. He's right Fallout 3 looks like a 'amusement park'. I'd say it sometimes looks like 'World of Falloutcraft', with people waiting at every corner of the wastelands.
The main quest is stupid and clearly the combat system is poor : vats makes things too easy, and the opponent can't even fight back properly, whatever your stats are, since you can chain your actions.
All in all, it looks like Oblivion with guns, with a karma system where everybody in the world knows instantly when you do something wrong... It can't be called a RPG with such 'feature'.
Still a nice game, but more like 75 or 80/100, and in no way the game of the year...
I have to disagree. This game is soooo vast and it all comes together so realistically. If you say V.A.T.S. makes the game easy, you didn't play it. You run out of points and you can't always rely on V.A.T.S. and it also isn't always accurate. Some enemies snipe, super mutants charge at you with overwhelming strength and you have to cripple limbs to slow them down, so you're claim that enemies can't fight back is also BOGUS. The game starts off a little slowly but by the time you reach Tranquility Lane you know you're witnessing a masterpiece in interactive entertainment. I'm about twenty hours in and the game is huge with so much to explore and do. Everything from the gameplay, graphics, sounds, music, controls, gunplay are all awesome. The save anywhere feature is also great especially when you pass a tough part of the game that had you stuck you can instantly save, perfect. The karma system that you say shouldn't be in an RPG is awesome and makes for good replay value. You can play the game as someone that helps people or who hurts people. Some guy needed water because he was dying, i tried to give him radiated water, he didn't want it. He said it makes him puke. I only had one bottle pf purified water so I blew his head off and put him out of his misery. Another guy in my party had heart problems and we couldn't continue on without him receiving proper medication. I had none so I blew him away also which made the others with me angry. GET THE POINT? So next time you say the game isn't excellent, try playing it for more than two hours noob.
