More Fallout 3 Gameplay Footage
- Thread starter 13pm

In Fallout 1&2 their limbs would get "ripped" off from their bodies. In this video what I see, is like they were attached together with a string and when Todd shot at his/her head, all the strings were disconected and the limbs fell on the ground like meat bags without any bones.
What Beth did, they used simulation for it. In previous Fallouts we have animations.
Simulation is better than animation. For example, check out the upcoming "Star Wars:Force unleashed" tech demo video on youtube.
Conclusions?
Bethesda's simulation sucks.

I still surprises me that this isn't being mocked all-out. Nevermind how silly Oblivion looked after Bloodlines incredibly well-done facial expressions and body poses, but Fallout 3 looks like a real joke after Mass Effect.
I am pretty shocked that no journalists are calling them out on this. If we're talking about things no longer fitting in our "next-gen" expectations, people standing stock-still, staring at you and reading out their lines is definitely one.

Verisimilitude.
Imagine you were talking about Star Wars and pink ponies. Pink ponies are unrealistic, so are laser swords. Does that mean it would make sense to put pink ponies in Star Wars? No. Same thing for a short-ranged nuclear launcher a grim-nuclear setting like Fallout.

Power armor + point blank rocket launcher = Iffy, but ok.
Vault suit + point blank fatman = Fuck this game.
The BB gun was probably the most outrageous of all of the weapons in Fallout2. The teddy bear launcher, flaming sword, fatman, gravity gun, cryogenic gun etc. are just plain dumb and don't fit in with Fallout. When did you ever have a gun that didn't shoot either metal projectiles, feasible rockets, fire, lasers, or plasma in Fallout? The Solar pistol was the only exception, but at least it was feasible.
No, I just post on this site for satire and sarcasm-related reasons only.
Use your imagination. It's not like changing areas is going to completely change the combat/perspective system. I love the good 'ol, "Haven't played it yet" argument.
I'll let you wait until we see dialogue. But if Todd says one of the best dialogue choices to a ghoul is, "Gah!! What the fuck are you?" I'm not that impressed.

Ah, I had forgotten about that wonderful word.

Are you one of those people who think that nothing can break suspension of disbelief in a fantasy novel because "HEY THERE ARE DRAGONS YOU ASSHOLES"?
pyrock said:
True. But how sad is that? What happened to marketing a game for what it is?
pyrock said:
No it doesn't. It's a few months out, has been submitted for ratings and Todd Howard himself has said it's "pretty much done". It officially doesn't need a lot of work, I wish people would stop trying to pull that one in.
But yes, the demo has a hacked character. Duh. Really doesn't make a point-blank nuclear weapon make more sense or fit better in the Fallout setting, tho'. It doesn't grind well with Fallout's dark approach to nuclear weaponry, it's too light-hearted, and realistically short-range nuclear weaponry never works.
Yes, it makes some sense as a weapon exclusive to power armour wearing troop, but since a lot of the war is fought domestically I doubt there'd be much appreciation of its...environmental effects.

What do you want to say us?
That the Fatman will become the Littleboy? - pun intended.
I don't think so...
Showing 90% of the time a feature that will only be a easter-egg is off.... i would say that's even more off, than adding a nuclear-catapult weapon with a distance that in reality you would getting fried within a second...
But yeah... i will wait for seeing the released game... or better said hearing and reading about it, because i'm not planning on playing it.
it just crossed my mind. we all know lots of trailers that looked great while the game didnt turn out too well. hellgate london comes to mind there.
and to pick up on another strain of thought that recurrently surfaces here: the graphics which are shown are FAR from mindblowing. i dont even talk about the ragdoll thing here, but just what you see in your surroundings. surely, they are not bad, yet still it has the feel of randomness and lacks coherency. perhaps it is just that there is too much of the same stuff where omitting items would have been the way to go. maybe its just me, but thats somewhat alienating. (alienating me from a post-apocalyptic scenery... right

Eh? I can't really remember Fallout trailers, but its demo is fantastic, and the pre-release PR I've seen would've caught my attention.

Different mini-game, probably.

Either a visual cue or sound effect.
That or with psychokinesis, they will actually vibrate your keyboard and mouse through time and space all for the sake of immersion.

Man, are you even talking to anyone? It's like you're just babbling random lines into the void.
