The release of the Fallout 3 teaser trailer and Game Informer's new cover has sparked some discussion among a few professional gaming websites.
1Up features four editors of the magazine Games for Windows discussing their reaction to the teaser. An interesting read, if for the wrong reasons, keep an eye out for "The Ink Blots."<blockquote>Sean Molloy: Smart start -- it certainly gave me faith that they're sticking with the original games' tone. You get olde radiola tunes, a quick glimpse at Pip (the original Fallout boy!) in those propaganda posters on the bus. So yup, this is Fallout. I'm also now completely convinced it's gonna be some first-person Oblivion-style thing. When the camera pulls out of the bus, and you see that ruined cityscape--I want to explore that s*** in first-person. Imagine that moment in Oblivion where you leave the first dungeon, only you see apocalypse instead of green acres. I don't think Bethesda could pass up that opportunity.</blockquote>Game Daily recaps the history of Fallout 3, and goes over what has been officially announced so far.
Gamespot has two different features, both involving Tor Thorsen. In a news article about the released Fallout 3 information, Tor speculates about what Game Informer means with its headline that Bethesda will reinvent Fallout. In addition, Tor Thorsen was featured on The HotSpot, a weekly Gamespot podcast which covered the Fallout 3 teaser trailer in their most recent episode. A transcribed excerpt from Tor's comments:<blockquote>And the trailer also confirms other stuff, they won't say, but thoughout development they've leaked the location of Washington DC; and in the background you can see a very Washington Monument looking kind of oblisk in the background right in the middle and stuff. So, it's probably going to be in DC, it's basically going to be Oblivion with mutants in DC, which sounds damn good to me.</blockquote>Links:
