Gamespy posted this on Fallout 3 in their most anticipated games of 2007 list (my bolding):<blockquote>It hasn't been officially announced outside of the discreet posters we've seen at E3 for the last few years. It may not even be coming in 2007. But oh yes, do we want it. Fallout 3 is one of the games we've been most hungry for, and we're betting that this year we'll finally find out its development status. If you've played the first games in the series, it would be no surprise why this is one of our most highly anticipated titles. Fallout presented unprecedented levels of freedom to the player, allowing you to approach the game from different strategies. You could muscle your way through the games with guns blazing, tackle the objectives you came across with stealth, or even talk your way through to a satisfying ending. The series' non-linear approach was a refreshing take on previous role-playing games, and the adult humor, fascinating post-nuclear American setting, and incredible dialogue cemented the Fallout brand as one of PC gaming's most beloved franchises.

We really have nothing to go on as far as what Fallout 3 will be like. To describe the project as hush-hush would be an understatement. Fallout and Fallout 2 were both developed by the now defunct Black Isle Studios division of Interplay. On the other hand, the license is in quite capable hands with Bethesda Softworks. The same engine used to create The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, the Gamebryo engine, is being used to develop the game, which should bode well for providing an open-ended, non-linear experience that will ring true to fans of the previous games.</blockquote>Contradicting himself a bit, the writer of the article apparently notes that fans of the originals should look forward to this game, which implies a similarity between the games, and then notes people should be happy it is using the Gamebryo engine, which can copy certain experiences from the Fallout games well, but I see a problem with mechanics. Thoughts?

I don't know much about bethesdea or gamebryo engine.. One hand I wanna say that Bethesda knows what we want and will do what they can to deliver it but on the other hand I've seen too many instances where movies sequels, tv shows seasons, and comic books get messed up because they changed directors. Writers, or artists.

Nothing we can really do except wait and see and hope.

Which is exactly what scares me. Bethesda could challenge George Lucas for the title of "The Supreme Grand Master Of Fuck Ups" so the fact that they'll do their best with Fallout is not really reassuring.
 
Oh they really know what the majority of people wants and they will strive to deliver just to bad that the majority wants a mindless console crap with simplified gamplay to the point that a vegetable woud be able to play it.
 
Gamebyro is a really good engine tbh. I can't see what you think is wrong with it, or is it just the fact that it was used in ES?

full ack - that's the way Beth will go.
dialogues with only 38 chars max - more isn't console compatible,
just to click the topics until they're all done. Weird RPG ideas indeed.
And they will rip off the consumers with DRM protected crapmods as they did to the Oblivion buyers.
But they will not rip off me...oh, no - not a second time, auntie Beth

Who says its not?
I guarantee you this entire site is basing a large amount of anticipation on F3.
Now wether or not the anticipation is good or bad is a different story.

Wait and see and hope for what, Mr. Frisky? We have it from several sources, official and otherwise, that 'Fallout 3' is a poorly disguised codeword for Oblivion With Guns.

So what miracle are we supposed to be silently twiddling our thumbs and waiting for? Todd Howard being decapitated by a flying Fallout CD? A bolt of lightning striking Pete Hines? What exactly?
 
It is possible that its a modified version of the engine. Apparently the same westwood used the same engine for C&C renegade and mofified it for C&C generals. The engine went from a FPS to a RST. So lets hope that they modify the Gamebro engine to something that resembles fallout.

Okay we can pretty much take it as a gi-me that it will be 3d graphics of some sort. But lets hope that at least set the camera angle to be in an iso sort of view point. They cant be that much of a moron as to make it a FPS RPG.

If you check Gamebyros page, then you see that it was used in Civ3 aswell. ES and Civ3 doesn't really look the same ;)

Yes they can. In fact, every report we've had so far shows that they will. From Rosh's and VDweller's leaks to Beth saying that they will be doing 'what they do best'.
 
Hi, I am new to this, but I played throughy all of the Fallout games in print. Over the years I have read a lot about fans in Germany and Poland, and probably others working on fallout games and doing fallout artwork. Do you know if anything came out of this, and there any downloadable Fallout scenarios out there that I can play?

Check the *site* we have here. Like, I don't know, the Files section or the Modding section.

Hi, I am also new to this, but I also know where to post and I did read the forum rules.

But anyways, Bethesda is going to fuck up Fallout 3 bad, as stated in this forum about a trillion times. They haven't revealed anything positive about the game, only stuff that makes me worry a lot as a Fallout fan.

Sometimes I think this all is just a bad dream and I wake up some day with a copy of brand new Van Buren.
