Fallout 3: official teaser trailer announced
- Thread starter Brother None
- Start date
Vault Fossil
Well, if you follow static.bethsoft.com, where the music seems to be streaming from, you get this joke page.
Hello all,
Guess its now time to place our bets huh?
Also, this was brought up not soon after the Van Buren tech demo?
Sounds like someone got a bit nervous.

Where's Mark Morgan when you need him? Like the artwork, though.
Though I have given Bethesda copious benefits of doubt, I think they should rethink this track as opening music. In 1&2, The opening tracks gave a relaxed sense of optimistic denial, followed by bleak ambience, a nice musical metaphor that reflected both the bleakness and ironic humor of the game.
Rather than hearing Conan or LoT, my first impression what "Oops! Did they mistakenly post the new soundtrack to Die Hard 4?"

Nobody said it's opening music. That's not what "title track" means, "title track" can also mean it's the track we'll see to go with most trailers.

First time out of the vault
Oh boy! Let's play "what's missing"!
Is it... Any sign whatsoever of Fallout's retro-50's setting?
Ding, ding, ding! You are correct, sir!
Mmm. Not to mention, I also see that Bethesda's crack<s>head</s> team of artists fail to see the importance of staying true to Fallout's basic visual style of wasteland as well. Which should come as no surprise, given Bethsoft world designer Grant Struther's staggering over-qualifications for the job.
Mmm-hmm. Peteyboy sure wasn't kidding around when he said they were all huge Fallout fans, and boy, they clearly don't get any bigger than Grant Struthers. Although, I will say this to their credit; that FO3 title theme would fit beautifully into the Earthsiege 2 soundtrack. That's a real bang up job they dun thar, hyuk!!
You know, I wonder who Bethesda thought they were fooling when they included heavy Fallout iconography and 1950's influence in their early teasers. I give their bait-n-switch a gold star for effort, but an F for execution.
And by the way, both the music and the picture are indictive of the direction of Fallout 3 on the whole. Bethesda's update was intended as a tone-setter. For anyone who expects FO3 to have an appreciably stronger resemblence to Fallout than the teaser site currently does, then to put it mildly... The odds aren't in your favour.
To put more bluntly, you're going to be spending alot of time with the Van Buren tech demo while thinking unpleasant thoughts about Todd Howard and Peteyboy.

Wow. This has been quite an eventful day. Week, even. I wonder if this means that the SupCom patch will be out this weekend.
Oh, and as others have said, the theme fits Oblivion more than Fallout. If this is any indication of where Beth is taking Fallout, then I don't like it.
The concept art looks good. Wonder what's that cave in the bottom. Could it be a vault entrance? Or is it Generic Level-Scaled Radscorpion Cave #2304? (sorry, couldn't resist)

teaser trailers suck
they shall release an ingame video, would be better, imho
edit: the one (are there more) artwork looks more like a post-apocalyptic-western-film than the Fallout 2 retro post apocalyptic game style to me.
and the music doesnt really fit... i mean, u are lonely and in the midst of an empty wasteland, and this sounds more like there was an army marching through lush meadows, with a feeling of large threat around it
hope you understand what i want to say, i've problems describing complicated things in another language..

I was actually excited by this. There is a gas station in the top left, which reminded me of Navarro. I love Navarro (not Dave though...).
The music was good. Not great, and not Fallout, but it was good music. I don't think they'll be using this as the opening music for the actual game, this music probably won't even be in it.
I'm feeling my spirits lifted.

In 34 days we'll know more about the art of showing nothing in 4 minutes of footage, I'd guess.

The music reminds me of Batman Begins theme a lot for some reason. Being a BB fan, I liked it as a track.
It's pretty consistent with what was said about Fallout 3 having the dark, almost survival horror tone. Although the music is a bit too intense (I was going to say 'epic' but 'intense' describes it better), it does give out a dark vibe.
The whole feel is definitely different from Fallout 1/2 and seems to be out of place in a Fallout world but it works well with that image and even more so as the first Fallout 3 teaser (that being the whole page with the countdown and all). Well, hopefully the trailer won't be worse than the page.

and that's why i don't like teaser trailers...
they are just for the hype, and i really don't care about them....
i wanna see some ingame stuff or a real trailer, which gives us at least an idea what the game will be like, what the story will be like and so on...

That picture must be an ingame Screenshot! xD
You have pretty much emptiness, a deep Dungeon, 1stperson and cool graphix!!
Music doesn't fit... i expect something which will not be Fallout, but maybe a good postapocalyptic game.
btw that is the countdown for teh MEGAHYPE! of Fallout3!

Oh great, more crap Jeremy Soule music. I'd rather have Mark Morgan back to rip off some more music from others than this.
Bet you money most of the voice-acting budget will go into Ron Perlman's narration, some famous actor as the voice for an important NPC, and then 10 low-talent voice actors to speak for the rest of the world's inhabitants.
Things are looking bleaker for Fallout 3 every day.
