Game Informer Fallout 3 article scans

[Silencer]

Also, the supermutant is modeled pretty faithfully to Fallout 1 & 2, only thing missing are their hunched posture.

Mikael, I love you like a brother, but the face and posture is just wrong. It's not T.R.A.G.I.C., but certainly they missed the whole point with the muties having tissue overgrowth, giving them their characterisitic facial and bodily features.

A toddler tutorial? Kinda... weird. I wonder if I can shoot Father in the eye with that BB gun.

Perhaps you will, but then you will create a doomed world in which the thread leading to your reunion with him later on was severed

It's not about "I told you so". Like I said at the Codex, "judging by the number of "but look at the bright side!" posts, I felt that some things need to be properly explained."

Would be nice to see an official NMA reaction as well. For educational purposes.

Looks like an Orc

Looks like a troll.

Not sure what you mean by official NMA reaction. I don't know if you ever noticed but opinionating short-term newsposts aren't our habit or fortè, we're not going to change that now.

I'll newspost your piece, tho', our readers can form their own opinion of it (lots of readers right now, since we reached the frontpage of digg)

 

[Grotesque]

Where is Rosh now to laugh in the faces of all those of you who told that hes eating shit when he told us that it will be somethiong like this? Rosh is making that up! Rosh doesnt know what is talking about! His sources are dumb fucks! Great surprise! F3 as a console shooter with RPG elements and a load of bullcrap promises!

 

[Brother None]

Rosh is making that up!

Yeah, he was, he said it was RT, not RTwP. Even his very generic "rumours" have turned out to be false, so let's assume, wildly, he was making it up.

 

[Kan-Kerai]

Good compromise. Have to get the word out to as many people as possible, especially with the Boys From Beth deciding to drop the charade and blacklist us. As if anyone couldn't see THAT coming.

By the way, I'm one of those plants mentioned earlier.

Grotesque, none of that changes the fact that Rosh was a viciously abrasive asshole with an oversensitive trigger finger, who reached for the ban when anyone brooked any argument. He's pretty much the main source of a lot of NMA's bad reputation over the years.

Though I loved him for some of his antics, admittedly.

 

[VDweller]

Not sure what you mean by official NMA reaction.

I meant a good article. Similar to the Gems of Hatred; I really liked them.

I don't know if you ever noticed but opinionating short-term newsposts aren't our habit or fortè, we're not going to change that now.

Of course. That's not what I meant. I'm sure you have a lot to say, and I'm sure that many people would enjoy reading it. That's all.

 

[Grotesque]

Rosh is making that up!

Yeah, he was, he said it was RT, not RTwP.

Just by saying that you just sounded like an idiot.


oH! you can pause the game! and shoot body parts! like this would make a big difference! MAYBE this shit with APs was introduced recently! Or maybe you should face the truth

You're right and it's a good suggestion. We'll mull it over and discuss it, but I'm afraid we are pretty slow-moving on these things. Yours is posted, tho', it was a fun read, and pretty true. Could've used even more comparisons to Oblivion's dev cycle, tho'

Also, has anyone seen the Bethesda Game Studios forums recently? They're filled to the cranny with negative reactions, with about half a dozen troll/plants objecting fiercely to the overal heavy negative reaction. Bethesda's nutsack'll hurt when they look at that mess.

Also, I think they can't actually clarify the nerfed RTwP V.A.T.S. system until the 18th, which means the negative interpretations I've been seeing everywhere will just continue to stack up. PR catastrophy.

 

[Sorrow]

I knew that it will be like this. That's why I didn't wait for F3 and I'm only slightly disgusted .

Rosh was anal enough to be very exacting about being specific about the difference between TB, RT and RTwP. If he had known it was this retarded RTwP system, he would've said so. He didn't, which again means his generic remarks, which were predictions made by many people that knew Bethesda well without inside info, were just speculation, and not the inside rumours he claimed them to be. I'd have believed him if he'd mentioned *one* thing that's surprisingly specific, like, say, shit, the baggy jumpsuit, or the fact that the BoS was in it.

Oh come on. Even a total sceptic like you must had some measure of hope it wouldn't turn up like.. this.

About Rosh. Why is everyone everyone speaking about him in past-time. He didn't die, did he? He would flame Death so much it/he/she would just shrug and carry on.

 

[Sorrow]

Err...
I didn't have hope, because I've read what VDweller and Roshambo wrote and I remembered the news about F3 being a survival horror in a big city. I was excited about discovering how exacly Fallout 3 will be raped . On the other hand I didn't expect the Vault Boy 3000, the Uruk Hai and the Bag Suit .

 

[Neal]

Well Fallout 1 and 2 are the only real fallout games tactics was alright and Fo3 is from what I have seen today Oblivion with guns.

Beth doesn't have the balls to link opposing opinions to there page. They don't realize the impact that fan feedback can have on a game. EA was good about listening to the c&c fans for cnc3 and they put out a pretty good game and didn't screw the fans over.

But with bethdusa when you go on there forums tons of threads that had many good ideas about how it should be developed were locked and again the fallout fans have been betrayed and lied to.

now its time for a devoloper to come out with a new post nuclear rpg that doesn't have the title of Fallout. were do you think Fallout came from, wasteland

 

[Dracon M'Alkir]

Right, so this is the part of the game where everyone is arguing over whom's prediction it was that was closest to the truth, and the "I told you so!" phase.

Guys, we're fucked. We knew this a long time ago, ever since Black Isle/Troika/Interplay died.

I was just hoping for a good funeral, not having the grave pissed on.

 

[The Dutch Ghost]

I have to be honest, I was slightly optimistic, but in my heart I always hoped that in some way Van Buren would be resumed.
Hell, I even carry that dream now.

But DarkLegacy is right, it is pretty much over but still hard to let go off.
I have the same thing with Star Trek, I hope Tod Howard and the gang goes to the same place where I picture Berman and Braga.

Bah. Honestly, these are things no-one could have expected.. :/

And to think i was so excited about the teaser. (Almost) everything felt so right in it.. then the scans come in and shit on my head.

Oh well... maybe we can turn a blind eye on the game's title and enjoy a flashy post-apoc/d&d FPS? :E

Shure! It is like being rapped in the ass by a prison gang... just close your eyes and think of last dinner at mommys! I bet weall could enjoys this ...

No really I was so optimistic after that trailer, and even after I read the article... than I read the article again and watched the screens.

The more I started to realize that has happened the more I hated it.

It depends if you want to reward the Bethesda for raping Fallout or not. I adopted a policy of not buying games like this or games that have poor desing, because the only way we can really influence developers is by voting with our dollars. Buying a game is a vote for making games like the one bought and not buying is a vote against.
