Chuckie interviewed!

[Odin]

I noticed that SP had gotten word about an interview with Chuckie the rat-slayer, and you just have to read this:<blockquote>GCM: Setting out to create a version of Fallout for the world of consoles, what were your biggest concerns?
Chuck Cuevas: The biggest concern was conveying the world of Fallout and introducing it to a new genre. The action adventure genre differs greatly from the original games that were set in the post-apocalyptic earth of the future. Action gamers tend to want to shoot and blow up stuff more then other gamers. Fans of the original games wanted to be able to talk their way out of a situation. Knowing this difference, we decided it was more fun to shoot first and ask questions later. So while the gameplay has changed greatly, the world has not. There are still plenty of rats to kill and ghouls to hammer into the dirt while looking for that next great gizmo. </blockquote>Strange idea of the setting he has, but heck..we get to smash rats!! yah!

:dumbstruck:

So, basically, he decided to:
1) Ignore the fans of the genre and fallout by going for combat(and thinking it was more fun).
2) Not just ignore the setting, but actually doing it without noticing it!! He said that the settig was killing ghouls and smashing rats, but that isn't the most important, the most important thing is looking for next gizmo!!!Ahem. I think Chuckie needs to learn some things.....

 

[Mohrg]

Oh, but Sander, killing rats is the most important thing. They are taking over the world!

Wow, he summed up Fallout's appeal quite succinctly. Beating up rats and radiation victims while searching for cool doodads is my idea of a good time! Wait a second.... busty blondes, "dark" humor, and cool gadgets? Presenting...... Fallout: Maxim - A Post Nuclear Men's Magazine.

HHHHHHhhhhhmmmmmmmmmm.......................................

I hope he doesn't mean it. I already know 100000 games where all you can do is kill.

FO:BOS was never intended for the RPG market. The ""FO"" part is to lure "the cross over" market. I imagine there will be enough 5 inch heels, size 13 wide, to "satisfy" the 'need'. Imagine they'll be bundeled with early orders. Play'a's may have the option of thongs or "slings"
for the over endowed.

The shooter "genre" is his focus. The Fallout 'theme' is an accident, not necessarily of choice. Chuck Cuevas would have done a 'Martha Stewert: Extreme Loop Hole Exploitation" if it involved killing rats and "T and A". He might have been even happier because he could display more "in your face" flip humor.

His "knowledge" of what FO is, or was, is NOT getting in the way of this 3rd person shooter.

Thanks for the laugh - you made my day! At least "Martha Stewart: ELHE" would catch a few people with a sense of humor. Fallout: PoS doesn't even have that going for it.
