The Prepare For The Future promotion site has been updated with a new video. This one is more clear and less disconnected than the first, although it doesn't really tell us anything about the game. Among other things you get to see the Protectron and a stylized map of D.C. Ausir adds:<blockquote>BTW, there is an M-rating image on the site, so looks like the game has finally been rated by the ESRB.</blockquote>Spotted on the BSGF.
 
It tells me to GTFO because my Linux Flash Player is not pretty enough.

Elitist assholes. Even their flash banners on NMA work.
 
I am really glad they spent some resources creating these "50"'s style videos. I am am really hoping they embedded quite a few in the game.

IE.. we see them when we find holo-tapes, etc. I know some people don't like them.. but think they'll add a bit to the atmosphere.
 
I'm already weary of FO3 and it hasn't even come out yet. It's like the presidential campaigning, can't we just put this behind us already?

meh nothing special, but not the horrible thing PV is making it out to be.

It's just lame, the "actor" is too monotone, and WTF would you be spouting out comments on V.A.T.S to the general populace?
 
They're really annoying with this "Enter your birth date" everywhere. Why couldn't they just add a "Are you over 18 YES/NO" type of check? It's not like kids who would lie at that can't lie about their birth date.
Mainstream it! Think about the people who can't type! Add gamepad support!

As for the the movie... whatever. It's OK.

Also, is that Pete appearing for a second there right at the beginning?
 
Ohh hush, age gates are very good at legal ass covering and it only takes a second to tell them you were born on 11/11/1911.

Anyway, it was a small detail but I really appreciated the fact that the announcer was smoking a cigarette.
 
Meh... not too bad, but not too terrible. Had a good vibe about it.

I just wish we'd get to see some more gameplay and some dialogue at some point.
 
I can't get past the part of "Enter your birthdate". I enter it, press enter, and nothing happens...

I liked that, as well the swankily placed coat rack.
 
My favorite part was the host of Captain Cosmos smoking. I can see this as a mood setter for those unfamiliar with Fallout's atmosphere.
 
Is it supposed to stutter like hell? Firefox says the site is fully loaded and I doubt a relatively new PC shouldn't be able to handle a site. Where did they get the idea that 50's TV technology could 'lag' the way computers do nowadays?

And what's with all the static? A bit of that, sure, but this is just a major annoyance. I seriously can't bring myself to watch it all because it just feels like freaking torture to the brain. And the stuff I did watch wasn't even worth it.

Goddamnit, this is like poisoned candy. You expect it to be sweet and suddenly you're down on the floor convulsing.

I didn't get any stuttering. There was a vertical hold effect, a film grain effect, and static when the channel was "changed".

they'd be marketing it to the general populace to bag some chinese if they dare to invade. not to use after a nuclear holocaust... :twisted:

either way, shit sucked. useless trailer, but i suppose it could be worse. a lot worse. imagine Toddler in a Vault suit and Pete training his Vault Boy grin...
