    Why the attachment to overhead/top-down isometric POV?

    Well, when was the last time one was made? And when has one ever been made with a bloated budget and relentless hype machine to help sell it? I'm of the opinion that western developers, particularily American ones are stuck in a gigantic rut. Probably due to companies like Troika and Obsidian...

    Why the attachment to overhead/top-down isometric POV?

    That's what they said when Fallout was released. And it may not have sold like Oblivion today, but it didn't have Oblivion's million dollar budget and massive hype campaign either.

    Joel Burgess interview

    Oh, maybe not now. But eventually it will be. For all of Bethesda's mistakes and bad leadership, their redeeming feature for years has been easily moddable games. If they deny us that.. I bet they'll lose a lot of customers. I suppose they'll count on 360 kids bolstering them up.. but that...

    Joel Burgess interview

    They'd lose a unique modding community that many developers would kill to have.

    The Simpsons Movie [Possible Spoilers]

    Mr. Burns, yes. Moe? No! They've really crapped on Moe's character. That Moe's life is a pathetic failure and he tries to commit suicide was funny ONCE. But they've gone and repeated that eleventy billion times and made me hate the character.

    Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines

    True, but since Troika were laid off it's kind of beyond their ability nowadays. Compare that to Bethesda who to this day never patched some of Morrowind and Oblivion's glaring bugs despite still going strong.

    Joel Burgess interview

    It may not be easy, but I doubt it's a titanic effort like they make it out to be. And the simple fact is that Bethesda's mods that they charge money for are vastly inferior to what the modding community has given us for free. There's two ways to deal with competition like that - improve your...

    Why the attachment to overhead/top-down isometric POV?

    I'd say that without these tricks it would impossible to have distant views in games like Oblivion. But even then they're still pretty resource intensive, my old computer could play Morrowind smoothly, but couldn't handle the distant land mod at all. The one time I managed to load it, it...

    Joel Burgess interview

    That excuse smells like rancid yogurt. If they don't release an editor it'll be for one reason and one reason only, to try and create a captive audience on the PC as they have with the Xbox in order to force them to buy their own shitty mods. Bethesda have done a lot of stupid things, but...

    Pete Hines interview on SPOnG

    Oh he's just more verbose. But he can be as clueless as Todd when it comes down to it, like the stupid justification for no eye shots (where he apparently thinks all eye shots are made with a minigun vs. an unprotected human head). But yes it would be nicer to get more info from him than from...

    Pete Hines interview on SPOnG

    Because Pete Hines is paid to lie to us, it's his job. And Todd Howard's the executive producer which means the buck stops with him. And he just looooves making all those decisions that "improve" Fallout. Also, Emil is creepy.

    Fallout 3 Gamestar preview

    Though without the Master they're just trying to survive. Bethesda on the other hand seems to want to portray them as the evil invaders. Christ, even Tactics potrayed them better than that.

    Fallout 3 at E3 - Gaming Trend

    We never see fusion cells explode because fusion powered anything wouldn't explode into a nuclear cloud when shot at. i.e. it would be stupid. And the fact that fusion powered Power Armour and rayguns do not erupt into violent explosions during a firefight shows that this does not happen in...

    Metal Gear Solid 4

    I might buy it some time after it's released when Konami release the inevitable MGS 4: Now With Actual Content Edition (see MGS 2: Substance and MGS 3: Subsistance).

    Fallout 3 Gamestar preview

    I'm glad we live in this wonderful modern area of gaming. After all, Fallout's system of walking in and out of buildings in real time is so much less immersive than clicking on a door and watching a loading screen for 5 minutes!

    Metal Gear Solid 4

    Bah. Vamp's a wannabe. He needs to learn from Konami's vampire-related franchise. Alucard would kick his butt. So would Soma for that matter. Yes I like white haired prettyboys. Sue me.

    The Simpsons Movie [Possible Spoilers]

    I maintain that Matt Groening is determined to pump out as much shit as possible as revenge for Fox cancelling Futurama in it's prime.

    Metal Gear Solid 4

    No. He's lame even for that. He danced like a dork (I HATE flamenco), he screamed like a sissy and he hid behind little girls while fighting you.
