CVG Talks to Pete

[Kangaxx]

but RTS? as in Real Time Strategy? KoTOR? Strategy? i'm definitely missing something here...

Strategy, you know: like not telling your char to attack friends or not running around while they're shooting at you...

 

[Briosafreak]

The good and evil from Kotor isn`t what i expect from a Fallout game.

And now for this

What's impressed you most about the Fallout series and, going forward, will this or these things still remain a core part of the third in the series?

Hines: There are a number of things that stand out. Fallout had a great setting: the environments, tone, story, characters, and so on. The role-playing aspect and the SPECIAL system were terrific. From a technical standpoint, it had great animation, voice work, lip-synching, etc. So there were a lot of elements that went into making it the memorable title it was. Our plan is to bring as much of that into Fallout 3 as possible.

Right answer.

We understand that Fallout 3 will continue the Fallout series storyline, but in terms of gameplay can we expect something Morrowind in style?

Hines: It's too early to talk specifics about what the game will or won't be.

Wrong answer.

And clicking on the heal item, once in a while. Yes now i remember, the tactical possibilities were endless!

It looks like SPECIAL is in, since he's mentioning it as 'core' and fundamental now. The fact that he doesn't talk about the turn based combat of the old Fallouts has me worried a bit.

Yeah, I thought of the exact same thing when I read it. No Iso or turn baed combat. Damn it. Other then that it sounded ok.

i cant see the Interview....i must register....that sucks

 

[PsychoSniper]

Meh, paying to see an interview is usualy a waste of $

 

[SimpleMinded]

So there's no question that what we're interested in making it a role-playing game.

PHEW!

I know, I was worried for a second there that they'd give us a Post-Apocolyptic Wayne Gretzky's Hockey.

ROLLERBALL!!! WOOHOO!

k sorry. I'm gone.

Fallout: Operation Vaultdweller...

hmm now I have an image of Pipboy.. a la Operation style... me with tweezers trying to get some .223 outta his spleen or something... maybe I'm the only one who remembers the game Operation..

yeah i remember that, mostly poking people in the eyes with the needle....

And i do believe that it's impossible to use special in a "FPS-ish" game, that can be interpreted as a good sign, or as a bad sign, meaning not only they will make Fallout 3:hell on earth, but also rape the special system in the process.

Well, SPECIAL is kinda hot, so it would make a good porn flick if anything
