The French gaming magazine Joystick (#173) has revealed some very interesting rumours about Bethesda's upcoming Fallout 3. A rough translation:<blockquote>The atmosphere there is one of study, like the image of the artist leaning (poring) over several "concept art" pieces from Fallout 3. Ooh la la, it is a shame I`m not authorised to speak about what I saw regarding that subject. Why do I talk about it then? Bah, just to sicken you, of course. Come on, patience (and confidence)!</blockquote>I'm painfully unsure as to what this means. Is the artist leaning over old concept art from Van Buren in studying the subject of Fallout? Or is he drawing up new concept art for Bethesda's Fallout 3?

The journalist visited Bethesda's head-quarters, according to the original poster of the news.

Spotted on Nuka Cola, thanks to Briosafreak!
 
Siley sent this to me yesterday, asking for a translation.

The guy was commenting on Oblivion, and not on FO3. It's clearly written: Today's issue 173, Oblivion Test. The reviewer says the artist did a worked, studied atmosphere and feel, like the artist that did concept art for FO3.

As said above, I don't know wether the guy was talking about Van Buren or Bethesda's Fallout 3, which IIRC is still in pre-production stages. Van Buren's concept art was excellent, and he might be refering to it, possibly. Maybe the people in Bethesda have it as a reference to FO3.

Or maybe they hired people that did equally brilliant concept art, or even the same guy.
 
Of course the piece was about Oblivion, the writer just put that sentence to taunt the readers (and us...). I`ll try to get his contact, i had it but lost it unfortunatelly, and he won`t tell us much more, they always respect their agreements with the devs.


Still i already asked MrSmileyfaceDude to when are we going to have a glimpse of the concepts, waiting for a reply :)
 
all signs point to him just studying concept art from Van Buren, or other Fallouts, or at most doodling new art.
 
This topic is getting to be a bit too DACish for my taste...

Anyway we finally have a witness of the start of pre production. Now we need spies :deal:
 
Yes. And agent provocateurs.
So, whats the consensus? Is this just a misunderstanding, a hoax, or is there really Bethesda FO3 concept art out there?
 
Stop derailing this topic or I'll split and vat. A joke's a joke, but the newsforum's not the place

It's not a hoax. Personally, I'm thinking it's VB concept art and the French dude saw Bethesda's artists researching VB (and maybe Fallout 1/2/Tactics/POS) concept art in great detail for inspiration for their own concept art, which is yet to be drawn, probably
 
I doubt that. It's been in pre-production for a year now (maybe less?), and one of the main things developers do in pre-production is make concept art and throw around design ideas. It was probably actual Fallout 3 concept art, not Van Buren.
 
Artists often draw the ideas from ideas.

"hhmm..could this idea work? ARTIST!!! Draw this!"

"ook ook ook! banana! BANANA!"

"Here you go, now DRAW!"

"Oook!"

*drawing noises*

"iiookkk!"

"Ahh..that idea looks like shite. scrap it. Any other ideas people? Herv?"

We haven't been exactly idle since the Fallout 3 announcement -- but we are very much focused on Oblivion right now. It'll be a while before you see anything specific about Fallout 3.
 
I can't believe a Frenchman actually said 'ooh la la'

Was he wearing a beret and a string of onions at the time he wrote that?

Actually, he said Ha là là, I just thought it'd be funny if I translated it as "Oooh la la"

MrSmileyFaceDude; tell us everything, YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO.

*voodoo dance*
 
MrSmileyFaceDude

You know how this can go... Either you have a graphical artist at your disposal...or he becomes a living (tortured) human-barbeque and screams something in french.

And because we are uncivilized we don?t understand french and think he screams "More heat!"

Up to you....*rubs his hoofs together*
