LOL those bath guys are stupid... most piips who are Fallout fans are over 20 years old. So we just wont read or write that shit how interested we are, we have much more stuff to do, but still deeply we all hope to see that game in PC againe... Well if they let that game go to Xbox, then they lose huge profit, im sure of that.... other hand stupids will get vapulate even in the church...
 
So fallout 3 is going to be on xbox ... well remembering that oblivion was on it too it will not only have the fuckt up ai when it was all NPC's did was watch a wall for tree hours then go to stare in another wall but also they are sure to put in the moronic interface that is so simple for console users but hell for pc one's.
 
Another FO: POS?

Perhaps. NOT till we have a sizeable demo even we know how fucked-up Oblivion is (thought you can't judge the whole game by demo this day) :roll:

Just want a good sci-fi CRPG with turn-based combat. HOW HARD can that be!

I mean really, DAMN. Those that do not learn history are doomed to repeat it - I never fully believed this quote until now. Interplay made FO:BOS went bankrupt and now Bethesda is just walking in their ultraviolet illuminated footsteps. How the fuck can they be so blind?

I really hoped that Fallout 3 would have been worth playing, but as it seems my last shreds of hope are being easily ripped by a rusty butter knife. All we can do is just PRAY that the final result even resembles Fallout in some way. I mean, just damn.

This is marking the end. :cry:

Nope. They may be clueless as far as fallout is concerned but they have understood that the Fallout fanbase is not as big as the Oblivion and Xbox360 are. Also, they will probably promote Fallout 3 as being developped "by the developpers of Oblivion, rpg of the year 2006". Now indeed you can pretty much see what audience they are targeting but I don't call it stupidity, I call it business. Let's face it, we may be a merry bunch of Fallout supporters but the amount of TES fanboys and Xbox360 owners represents a much bigger potential audience. And, after all, we already knew it from the beginning, didn't we ? It just got official now...
 
I'm starting to hope that Fallout 3 will flop in a horrible, horrible way. Maybe then Todd and his clueless buddies will get it out of their empty heads to develop a Fallout 4. And I'm just dreading the moment when those 14-year old XBOX kids will call themselves the fallout fan community, after p0wning the radscorp dungeonz. The shame, the shame...

I'll forget about Fallout 3; Age of Decadence, here I come.

Are there any examples of this happening, the only one I know of is that broken sword 4 went back to point and click after the disaster that was broken sword 3.
 
Let's wait and see how this all will turn out.
March isn't too far from now.
I don't think it will be worth waiting though...
Anyway there's a small chance for a nice suprise very small ....
 
There has already been a catastrophic flop: F:POS, a console "fallout" game, for brainless console munchkins, which failed miserably and bankrupted Interplay.

Guess what Beth's target audience is?

No, they aren't. I will be very surprised if Beth's Fallout fails commercially. Bethesda has perfected the formula, which was ranked as the best gaem evar by the media and sold 3 mil copies. Add to that the "legendary" (see, the media is already doing it) license, and you have a mega seller.

:salute:

In unrelated news, apparently AoD was mentioned in PC Gamer UK:
"New game news: The Age of Decadence (pictured) is an indie production taking its cues from Fall of Rome and other RPGs already mentioned here. Turn-based, open-ended and with an interface reminiscent of Fallout. We'll have more soon"

What's confusing me is that all the Bethesda fans are saying Fallout was too slow to play or too confusing for quite a number of them. And the media won't protest this in their pre-written "Fallout 3 GotY"-articles, but if everybody thinks the Fallout games were dumb and the innovations Bethesda will bring in brilliant, then what's so legendary about them. Legendarily bad? Legendarily ready-to-be-innovated?

Neat, man! Be sure to let us know when they "have more". Mainstream coverage, you're moving up in the world!

Most fans of Bethesda this day at least played Morrowind which mean they are the target of 'who to sell' their product. So they might don't know jackshit about Daggerfall or Arena (even thought the last one is free now). When they tasted the first dish they want the same formulae. If Bethesda don't keep them happy = they lost money.

There is a gap between the old players and new players of CRPG. It seems like big game company is ditching the old way and embrace the new way to sell more games to cover their sky-high game making expenses. I don't care if the old way (turn-based combat, isometric view, multiple-solution, variable character customization) is salted with physic, voice-record acting (provide not just 1-3 lines only), life-like AI, I can never stand that a action hack-and-shoot game labeled as 'RPG' (oblivion anyone?)

Bethesda is taking 2 hugh risk. One it might gain new player base while spoiling the name of Fallout and even get cursed by old players of Fallout. One it will gain the goodwill of old players but might only making small profit.

It won't be long we heard another "CRPG is dead". Oh wait. looks like it's here.
 
The reaction to this news has been quite interesting. Not unexpected by those that know the Fallout fans in general and don't fall for the "fallout fans are just 12 guys at NMA" bullshit.

Take a look at some examples

Revealing stuff. I predict Armageddon at the Codex in February

All in all nothing really new in the newsbit, except for the date. We'll be watching things more closely now.
 
Hello people,

What I am quite so tired about is every time it is mentioned that Bethesda have bought Fallout is how everyone is claiming 'well then it is on the right place'.

Why should it be in the right place?
Has Bethesda done RPGs like Fallout before?

All I know is that they made semi FPS/RPG like games inspired by Eye of the Beholder, Dungeon Master and a series Westwood once did (don't know the name)

When you respond that you have your doubts about Bethesda being the right developer and you mention that you are a fan of the original, now ancient history Fallout games, you get such responses as "Grow up, Fallout has to evolve with the time."

I really like the Fallout games (I am not going to say I am in love with it) and I played the games together with other hundreds of players while most gamers ignored it because of the looks or the fact that it was an old style RPG with turn based gameplay.


Apparently to regain the general gamers interest Fallout has to be changed in such a way that it can appeal to them, but to me it seems it discards what made it appeal to me and all the other Fallout gamers.


If Bethesda really wanted to do a PA game set after a nuclear war, why not create a new game concept of your own?
If its good I'll buy it but don't use the name of an existing series to sell a product that probably has nothing in common with it other than little references to Vaults, radscorpions and Ghouls.
 
What I think is Bethesda's biggest mistake in regards to Fallout 3 is that they haven't looked properly at where the Fallout fan base is. I don't mean what system they're gaming on, but in what part of the world they're living in.

Sure, the Americans are a large part of the fan base, but Europe, as a whole, looks to be at least at large, if not larger. Germany has released several well-received post-apoc RPG's. Russia is also releasing post-apoc RPG's, and it looks to me like Poland has the largest Fallout fan base outside of the US.

If Bethesda (and a big IF that is, since we don't know squat about the game at this point) keep the developing focus on the X-Box market rather than the PC market, then it seems to me that they're taking Interplay's old slogan "By Gamers, for Gamers", and turning it into "By Americans, for Americans", because I don't see the X-Box 360 having as big a market in Europe as it does in the US.
 
Hello Unkillable Cat,

I believe Xbox 360 does reasonsable well here in the Netherlands and Europe in general, its the Asian markets where the Xbox 360 hasn't taken off very well but that is probably because of the type of games for it.

Most of them appeal more to a Western market than Japan.

Actually, Russia, then Poland, which isn't surprising when you consider Russia's size. That's guess-work, tho', especially since you can't rely on sales figures from either country.
 
I like how they worded the article, as if there was any doubt as to whether it'd be on the 360.
