Questions à Bethesda

Augh, IGN / Gamespot win over another one on us.

IGN: "Will Fallout 3 be GREATTTT for the Xbrick 5000?"

Beth: "Yep, and tons of great graphics, nice and shiny like you like em!"

Gamespot: "OH WOW. No questions from us now."
 
IGN: Why is Fallout 3 the best RPG ever?

Todd Howard: Aw shucks, we didn't never say that Mr. IGN. The public decides that.

IGN: But you paid us to ask that, just like we did with Oblivion. Remember?

Todd Howard: SHHHHHH!!

But I feel very disappointed that they didn't invite anyone from the fansites. Doesn't one of the NMA guys (is it you Tannhauser?) even live in DC close to Bethesda?

Yep, I live about thirty minutes away from Bethesda's Rockville office.

I travel to Rockville every now and again because they have a community theater group that does some of the more obscure Gilbert & Sullivan operas.

I'm willing to sponsor spy gear, so you can place a directional sound antenna & digital camera with zoom in a building across Bethesda...

Depending on the outcome of that, I'm also willing to sponsor purchase of a mortar.

Ominous sign when the fans are being given the mushroom treatment while those are willing to spout the praises and all hails are invited.

Even worse is when those who are there suddenly clam up or give the plastic "Wow what a shiny happy game" that is good for the whole family.

GTA4 is taking planes out due to 9/11 and we must not offend anyone.

I want to be able to shoot kids, pimp my spouse, kill the evil ones, then turn around kill those who paid to me do so. I want my flame throwers that can bbq whole villages, I want plasma rifles that turn kids into shiny black shadows on the walls.

If you include a great plot and make it first person then I will deal with it.

But do not exlude the fans with hard core questions just because you have the master plan that must be kept super ultra top secret becuase you just wait it will rock your socks just like oblivion did
 
For anyone interested, a friend told me that swedish magazine Super PLAY will have an "exclusive preview" in their next issue which is out around July 20th.

This is a console heavy magazine (though it reports on PC games as well), and I expect them to gush all over Fallout 3 however it will turn out. Some of the things that I read about Oblivion in this magazine was the final drop that caused me to cancel my subscription.

I don't mind anyone liking Oblivion, but when one of the writers stated that "Oblivion has real consequences for your actions" (not exact quote, but very close) their integrity just went down the tubes for me.
 
Oh please, will you scan the pages for people than can't get the magazine? I'm in spain and I can't buy it here :( AND I MUST KNOW IF IT IS RT OR TB AND FPS OR ISO!!!!!!!!!!! (but I really doubt that gameinformer is able to talk about this...)
 
Isn't scanning magazine articles illegal? Don't magazines generate their capital based on magazine sales? Isn't this borderline copyright infringment? :?

Yes. Yet our gallery is full of scans. Since we're not a commercial venue, it falls under fair use. If they send us a cease and desist, we'll do so, but until then, it falls under good faith fair use.
 
Cornell's U.S. Code collection said:
§ 107. Limitations on exclusive rights: Fair use
Notwithstanding the provisions of sections 106 and 106A, the fair use of a copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies or phonorecords or by any other means specified by that section, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright. In determining whether the use made of a work in any particular case is a fair use the factors to be considered shall include—
(1) the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes;
(2) the nature of the copyrighted work;
(3) the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; and
(4) the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.
The fact that a work is unpublished shall not itself bar a finding of fair use if such finding is made upon consideration of all the above factors.

Sadly, a lot of people today define consequences as the psychic guards arresting you after you accidentally grabbed someone else's piece of cheese rather than anything to do with choice in RPGs of old.
 
you have to keep in mind that the author can only go for copyright infringment if they are based out of the country that the " infringment " is ocurring. so if the magazine is based out of the US and the nma servers are in switzerland, the magazine is SOL.
 
Luckily for us the NMA servers are located in an undisclosed location on a skull-shaped volcano island somewhere deep in the Pacific.
