Not a real invasion, more raids.

Pwn.
EDIT: I can just see the Toddlers face shining with anticipation at more verbal fellatio only to be shot down so harshly. Priceless.
Yes, however many things such as rats and ants have so few APs you can maintain a fixed distance anyhow. It could even be done with a spear and meant that provided you had 10APs, you could always do the temple of trials without taking any damage at all.
So yeah, i don't think that sounds a huge problem, unless it is also an effective tactic vs better opponents, in which case...Argh
It better not be just Oblivion mk 2, as i found Oblivion amazingly boring.

Weren't the commies you fought in the tech demo for Van Buren Americans insurgents? Whatever, they're gonna change the back story to fit their game, canon be damned!
Good lord horst, those face are bizarre, the people look like they were gassed by the Joker in the first batman movie.

Most evens in Van Buren aren't relevant to Fallout 3 anyhow, no?
Anyway, "consider" canon? Van Buren just isn't canon, any more than really good fanfics are. 's franchise reality, that is.

It is?
Like what? I certainly don't consider anything from Van Buren canon, personally.

Well, I do consider Van Buren part of my personal canon (as in, e.g. what I use as "canon" in my Fallout PnP campaign), even if it's not part of the official canon.
And VB stuff like e.g. the Hei Gui armor pops up as something believed to be canon from time to time here or at Bethsoft forum.

I don't have any console. I have no urge to have any either. And that is because the multiplatform games or games made specifically for consoles tend to be a lot more simplified. I think that ION Storm had went bankrupt only because they decided to make Deus Ex: Invisible War multiplatform which lead to extreme dumbing down of everything from the previous game which, in my opinion, was one of the best fps games of that time.
Also, the controller doesn't seem to be fit for fps games. For example, I love how in Fallout 3 gameplay demos, when Todd wants to switch the weapon, he has to come to a complete stop, even if the enemies are shooting at him. It looks like that it is rather hard to aim in real time too, or Todd simply isn't good at it. (However, I haven't seen or played any other FPSes on consoles, so that may be FO3 specific. The controllers are more suited for other types of games).
The only reason to develop games for consoles I see so far is because the developers know the power of specific consoles and it makes the development a bit more easier for them, because they don't have to constantly adapt to the newest technologies during development (which may cause the programmers to rewrite a large portion of the engine), except if you want to develop a multiplatform game (and use the PC hardware to the games advantage), in which case the only benefit is increased sales, but that also means a more simplified game. On the other hand, big disadvantage of developing for PCs is piracy, which seems to be less common with console games.
Seeing what kind of audience console gamers are makes me want to hang myself (judging from the first gameplay video, and the lack of knowledge and intelligence from hosts of the shows), since I am going to work in a video game company which targets multiple platforms, but mostly consoles.

Most console players are adults who play games made for kids. Period.
:EDIT:
Also, piracy mostly only affect PC mainstream games. Niche PC games are virtually untouched by piracy, ranging all genres, from racing simulators (only present on PC by the way) to RPGs even. Niche RPGs have little to no problems with piracy. Take a clue from that...

PS1? Yeah, that was a fun gameMyryad said:
Also, Dark Corners of the Earth is very enjoyable in a Xbox 360. Even though it doesn't work very well.Yep, the PS1 one hehehe, now there was a good console game! It's really amazing how good games were back then! Fallout 1/2 were made 10 years ago and they are 10 times more fun, more complex and have 10 times the possibilities that fallout 3 will have! It was so much fun to play as a dumb character and see the work that the developers had made in creating diferent dialogs and reactions according to that!
This only show's us how games today have changed.

I was thinking more of the stripped down Gort with the red star in the robot concept art pic. But yeah the three roller ones seen in gameplay could also be American.

Sorry Ausir I should have been clearer, I was making two separate points and didn't mean it to look like I was saying Van Buren was Canon. Only that Bethesda would ultimately decide what was canon.
On the topic of consoles, one of problems is the limitations of the medium, there are only some many buttons on a controller to give functions to, unlike computers. Add to that the mantra of graphics over playability that has created a slide downward of quality, and you have a lot games for sale that I would waste the money on. Perfect example of this is the Timesplitters series of games.
