Bethesda is so full of BS. They act like they can't reveal information about their product until they are finished, because things might change.
Yea right.
What about whether the game is Turnbased or Realtime?
Games are usually done before they are programmed. Decision and design rarely get changed once programming begins, unless you've got like 5 years to finish a game.
Yea, you can spend a full day deciding whether or not to make a game realtime or turnbased game. But you cannot have programmers spend 6 months to a year programming a real time or turn-based game, and then tell them to switch to the other.
They don't want to release information because it will damage their company name and lower the sale of the product. How do I know this? Because there's no chance in hell that a greedy-ass company like Bethesda is going to make Fallout 3 Turnbased. Sorry, I can't even entertain the idea in my mind, until I read it from them.
EDIT:
I will BET MY LIFE. That when they are making decisions on the Fallout game. They are not looking at the forums, they aren't even thinking about "what type of game I would enjoy?"
They aren't thinking anything.
They are looking at pages of numbers and statistics. This is how they are making their decisions. Player-Input is a thing of the past.
If Bethesda wants to prove that they aren't a greedy company, this game will be turnbased. It's Fallout. To make it any other way is just selfish.
I mean this isn't fucking Mario Kart. People actually care what changes are made to this game.
...
I'm just so sick of Bethesda's silence. Sorry for the rant.
