No Mutants Allowed staffers Brother None and SuAside were able to get entry to the Fallout 3 showings at the GC thanks to GamerNode, AtomicGamer, and Madshrimps.
What resulted is the most in-depth Fallout 3 preview yet, written by the biggest Fallout fans there are. There's also a nice Q&A with Bethesda's Pete Hines.
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.
Some Fallout3 news that MK_Red didn't know about or post on yet even after its been almost an hour!!! ;P lol
I just read the preview, and it seems to me that those two went in to the demo showing with it set in their heads that, short of the announcement that Interplay was reforming, they were not going to like what they saw. As fans it's understandable, but it automatically compromises the preview for those who have little experience in the franchise.
These guys freak out if it's suggested that Fallout 3 is going to be anything but 2D turn-based isometric gameplay but they rag on Bethesda for not being "daring" and "innovative" enough. You're right James Walker, these clowns will never be happy. I stopped going to NMA long ago.
NMA is normally a great website but this preview is awful, Bethseda is a great developer and its obvious they are trying to make this game incredible. How many titles have Liam Neilson as a voice over character? How many titles have this much scope and detail? The original Fallout 3 build looked rubbish, this is cutting edge and even innovative (VATS system etc). They are picking out VERY minor problems with the game and making them out to be flaws (eg the part about the US ammo not really complimenting the Chinese rifle wtf!). As EVERY other preview has said Fallout 3 looked amazing, NMA will just have to accept that at some point. Either that or keep making Fallout mods.
Fallout 2 wasn't very different to Fallout - Fallout 3 will be an evolution of the series!
I'd still like to play the original Fallout 3. Wasn't it almost finished? That game was a big step up from the first two. Not as big as this is though.
