New Fallout screenshots, anyone?

Ign doesn't have screens and thest titles are old (april 15 was the last post) but this may bring some light to the situation. They've got fallout 3 listed as a pc title and Fallout [Untitled New Project] listed under Xbox/PS2 with IPLY as the publisher. Everything about this doesn't seem to fit. I'm pretty sure it's just Gamespot screwing up, at least it better be.

Its confirmed to be not Bethesda.

Phew, I almost had a heart attack there. It's still sad that the series STILL gets treated with such disrespect though.
 
I hope some people learn from this, and won't be so quick to jump to conclusions the next time something like this happens. :lighten:
 
Why not though ?


Were glittering gems of hatred for a reason: We keep getting fucked over.

Therefore we expect the worst.
 
Yeah, we had nothing to do with this. I have no idea what that game is or why they attributed it to us.

Good thing I'm snowed in tonight, I guess :)

BTW, Pete still works for us in his same position and we still love him :) He's just looking for someone to help share his sizeable workload.
 
I can understand where the insta-conclusions people are coming from, though.

If only Bethesda didn't sell games off of Mystery and Hype. Actually released their ideas, their development process and information, people might stop flooding their emails/forums/PM's.

To me, Bethesda is just another dime a dozen greedy gaming company. They don't give a shit about the people who buy and play their games. They want money and lots of it.

How hard is it to put up a Fallout 3 section on your webpage, add a few links, a forum, some information and where your headed with the game?

If they gave me the necessary info., I could do this for them in less than 30 minutes and I could spend about 2 minutes a day maintaining the site with updated info, DAILY. Hell most internet users could. Your telling me that none of their employees can spare 2 minutes of work time a day? 120 seconds?

But they are so worried people won't like the info., their ideas, or whats in development, that they will decide not to buy the game.

They'd rather hype a game and sell it to us, without us knowing anything about it. That's how games work now a days. Mystery&Hype.

It use to be gaming companies would explain&detail their games thoroughly, they had passion for what they were creating and they tried to jam as much as they could fit in, before their deadline was up.

Now it's buy the game and hope for the best.
 
Let's see - Fallout 3 screenshots leaked, but they aren't Fallout 3 screenshots, the game was officially declared PS2/XBox action RPG, but actually wasn't, Pete Hines quit his job, but actually didn't, the entire community had a mass heart attack, but recovered, and all that in the 24 hours I was gone? Damn it, I should never log off.
 
Hungry Donner (Mod) commented on the elderscrolls thread about setting up a fallout webpage.

"Assuming they even have a rough time frame for setting up a web page and releasing information to the public, I doubt they would go public.

I also wouldn't be surprised if they don't do anything until after E3. First, they probably don't want to split people's attention between two big games. Second, given the attitude and reaction by so many FO fans, they probably don't want to release information that is subject to change. Really, if they say "we plan on including X, Y, and Z" and only get one of them, the FO community will likely burn down their building ;)"

Made me laugh so hard almost pissed pants.
 
::grabs pitchforks and burning torches::

Dont worrt Bethesda, theyre not for you.................. yet.




Let operation FrenchFry begain!





Seriously, if they did a lowkey PR campaign isntead of this clusterfuck theyve been doing with the news then they would have a whole lot less trouble with the FO community. In reality, the majority of the FO community can be VERY helpful, although not loyal to any company for some time, not after the assrape the brothers Cain have deliverd to the FO community in the form of.....

-No FO3 made after FO2 in the traditonal FO engine

-FO:Craptics

-The BIS Exodus

-The VanBuren cancelation

-FO:POS

But if Beth was to consistently be forthright, upfront, and honest the community would slowley come to actualy respect a gaming company (Troika excepted, as their founders were some of the main FO1 devs)

Its actualy quite simple and logical. You could follow the TES marketing plan of releasing very little and taking your time, or take your time and produce a quality game yet also have regualr updates showing us the game is being made the way its expected to be made. Remember this about the nonews marketing plan for the TES series..... It works for that fanbase because youve consistently produced what they want and have reason to trust you. The FO fanbase is far less trusting and has zero reason to trust you, as trust is earned not given.
 
Oh my God, you're all morons.

That any of you took this seriously dissapoints me.

Do take a few seconds to actually count the number of people who went "these are without a doubt Fo3 images from Bethesda". This return barrage of yours mostly serves to fuel the "all Fallout fans go ape at the drop of a hat" myth, which I don't think we need.
 
Bethesda is maybe not the company I full heartedly trust in making great games on all fronts but I don't think even THEY could possibly screw it up this much. I honestly believe that Bethesda ATLEAST have ambition to "graphically" make an impressive game.
Heck, from an artistic point of view this doesn't even come close to the original Fallout.

Even if those screens are for console it is still pretty pathetic.

Smells like POS 2 to me if anything.
 
I have to clarify...

First I didnt mean to go psycho like I did on page one. I should have realised those were NOT official and old.

Second let me apologize for perhaps making everyone else act in the same manner. Gamespy is stupid.

Sincerely,
The Vault Dweller
