In an interview about Oblivion on the Belgian Gamesplanet, press man Pete Hines was asked to comment on Fallout 3. He gave the usual answer, which we can only post here for its own sake:<blockquote>Last question, could you give us some information about Fallout 3? I know many RPG-fans are desperatly waiting to get some news about this game.
I would say to them that you can take a look at Oblivion in terms of what to expect from us. What I mean is, we take our projects seriously. We make sure we put in the requisite time to do them right. And, we tend not to really talk about them or even let people know we’re doing them until we’re a long way into development and actually have things we can show and talk about. So with Fallout 3, folks were made aware of it because of the announcement, but from a development standpoint we’re still in pre-production mode. It will be a LONG time before we start talking to folks about what we’re up to. I know they’d like more info, but as I said we really don’t plan to say anything until we’ve made some real progress. </blockquote>I think "look at Oblivion in terms of what to expect from us" is a rather poor choice of words, since people will draw the wrong conclusion. Before anyone's confused, he means we can expect the same long, careful development and not-saying-too-much that people know from TES.
