Fallout 3: Operation Anchorage Unveiled

Now i am happy that i uninstall that piece of shit.

 

Strike teams? You mean, kind of like Star Wars: Republic Commando?







RfftmuguuaaaaaAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

 

Wait.

How exactly will one take these new armors and weapons into the real world?

They'll probably pull out that old chestnut of the simulation turning real, flex the ol' creative muscles.

 

Giant laser-shooting snow tank.

This is what the original developers would have done if they had computers instead of stone knives and bearskins.

 

It's gonna be hard for me to complain too much about these expansions having very little Fallout atmosphere since they're supposed to take place before the bombs drop. Bethesda could put in just about anything and it would be pretty hard to argue that it's not Fallout enough since it takes place before the Fallout.

 

^ Yeah except for, well, WTF exactly is that crap doing in a supposedly fallout game? They could make the simulator be a portal to Oblivion for those who have both games, and claim that it's what happened 500 years before Fallout.

Companies generally don't release addons to main series that totally fuck with the main idea. They make separate games based on the idea. That's why Starcraft is not a modpack for Warcraft O&H.

 

I'm just saying that it's going to be hard to argue the unfalloutish nature of these expansions considering when they take place. I mean sure if they make them Oblivion gates it'll be easy, but otherwise...

 

^ My point is that it'd be hard to argue even if it was a gate to Oblivion. But it's just not the way you do things if you care for the franchise.

On the other hand, I don't think that at this point anyone would seriously care to argue anything against FO3 since everyone is tired of it and noone really cares.

 

Well I'm not entirely sure that Bethesda really cares about the franchise. I mean, I don't think they would actively set out to destroy canon, but I don't think they would try and find out if they were.

 

At least the gauss rifle is back. I mean, that's homage enough to the fans.






Right?

 

BTW, the whole IGN article is hilarious. Especially this:

Hmm, also seems like OA will cost ~ $10... Someone is going to be making lots of money...

 

since when has Bethesda started to make CoD like games ...

 

When they saw the market in making CoD like games.

 

^ Since Fallout 3? They seem to have realized how much money they could make off a CoD or Halo clone.

 

Dear Lord, this sounds incredibly awesome. What's even better is that we can expect not one, but TWO more DLC packs to be released after Operation Anchorage.

 

^

 

God, this Power Armor is totally wrong. Impossible that this knights armor will increase the strange of the dude who is wearing it.

 

The Fallout of modern warefare I guess ... or in this case sell-out even.

*Edit

Something I find interesting though

IGN: The liberation of Anchorage must have taken place before the entire country was destroyed. How different will the art style be for this download?
Gardiner: Anchorage has a vastly different art style. It's taking place in the frozen north; so you have a very bright ice/snow color pallet. We've had a massive amount of art resources at our disposal, most of what the player will experience was created from scratch. We've also taken a lot of time to create a bunch of 'animation vignettes' to make the soldiers and other NPCs interact with the world in better, more convincing ways then anything we were able to do with the Fallout 3 main game.

Means that now they took the "suggestions" of their fans for real that Fallout 3 needs better NPC and Player animations? Would be surprising though.


IGN: Do you expect title updates to fix a few outstanding bugs to come along with Operation Anchorage?
Gardiner: We are releasing an update for all versions of Fallout 3 prior to the release of this DLC. We take pride in fixing issues that are found by our fans and posted in our forums.

Yes just as like with Oblivion ... letz hope its better THIS time.

 

Translation:

We were worried since not quite everybody was praising the graphics of Fallout 3, and we concluded it was because we toned down the bloom, but now we'll fix that. Expect the most awesome graphics ever with so much bloom that will literally make you go blind.

Know what's even better? That we can also expect an ice age, the sun dying, the universe ripping apart etc. Can't wait.
