The Fall update

Not bad, not FO3 tho...


:(

I know, I know, two different games, and I'm going to give Fall a try.
 
I'm not really big into this "Wait liek, taht's not FO3! Whaaaa!" thing. If i'm going to like or dislike The Fall, its going to be on its own merits, not on expectations that it might live up to a ghost game.

Ok, not really sure where I did the "Whaaa" thing, and I don't believe I indicated I was slamming it.

More along the lines of expressing my disappointment that FO3 was cancelled, but encouraged by what the Fall was showing.

Sorry if I wasn't able to convey that to you in a manner you would be able to understand.

Oh i understood quite nicely, and i'm sorry to disapoint you, because i wasn't talking to you, i was refering to overall statements against the game based on grounds of it not being Fallout 3.
 
What do people honestly think of the quality of graphics as seen in the screen shots? I don't really think they look all that good, especially the character models. They're reminiscent of the Sims...
Then again, it may be just the screenshots.
 
From what I understand, it's still too early to judge graphics quality, but from what I see it has great promise. Hopefully it doesn't take a huge turn for the worse because I am excited to play it.

It does look a little too clean for a post apoc world though.
 
Hmm... yes i think i know what you mean. The structures appear to be in one piece, even if not exactly polished and shining, they seem to be too intact, too "clean". Same with the bus, it's got a texture that gives off the impression it's been trough severe bumps, possible burns, and is rusted; but the bus itself, aside the lack of tires, is too intact.

Considering that the world of The Fall was caused by an ecological disaster rather than by nuclear strikes, these things make sense.
 
But after time, without maintenance, everything wears extraordinarily fast. Without shade, the paint on the bus should be nearly white, chipped, and pealing. Where the metal was open to the elements it would obviously rust more, causing more paint to weather. Same thing would happen to the buildings, paint would chip, walls would wear, leaving pits in the surface. The pits would hold dirt flying in the wind discoloring the pits.

*edit* nevermind the bus statement, I didn't see the new screenshot. That bus looks real enough, but the school bus in an earlier screenshot looked too fresh.
 
Yes i know. My comment is related to the informational tidbit on their own site, which mentions hurricanes sweeping over entire towns, and gangs fighting for control. Considering the added battles between gangs, diseases, and "burning hot gales across the parched earth with hurricane-force blasts", i suppose the world of The Fall would be a weee bit more devastated than its structures and vehicules would imply.
 
The gameplay might be good, but the graphics aren't, at least IMO, sufficient. I think it looks worse than UFO: Aftermath, but then maybe this is just an extremely low resolution screenshot (did someone say 640*480?). Anyway, if they fix the graphics part, I might consider thinking about buying this game. I'll just squeeze it in between Fable and Halo 2 or Half life 2, if that's the case.

P.S Please fix the characters. They look like newborns, give them scars (*sigh*, yes, even the women :(, but at a lesser extent (no FOPOS please)). Make them look more like veterans of the wasteland. Oh, and don't give them neopunk haircuts... D.S
 
I'm less concerned with how much rust or holes are in the bus than I am with why they're using an entire bus in the first place. You want a big sign, that's fine.. But suspending an entire bus up in the air like that is rather silly just to have a sign. The roof of the bus would give you the same sign surface area and wouldn't be nearly as hard to get up high as a whole bus. You'd also have to be pretty stupid to stand underneath that thing, too.
 
Mayve it's some kind of Mad Max thing where it drops down? To block entrance, or crush some unlucky guys.

Not to mention, it appears that the links on the chains don't touch, or am I seeing things?
