There's more to Fallout than its engine.

That's not very funny. The only reason it appears for you is because you have the image saved in your cache, that's the picture being pulled up, it's still the "Image hosted by Angelfire" image for everyone else.

Red Dead Revolver

D.:
I'd swallow a first-person engine with a slickly integrated targetted-shot system. ...

I consider RDR the thematic sequel to "Outlaws", that never was.
Every so often there is a Movie Western style that wins my sale.
Need strange? There's enough 'over the top' scenarios that would make the mass marketed fairies wish for their old Keebler Elves gig.

I have not had the time to explore this one very far, to get the "retooling" of the hand/eye to twitch reaction specifications. The resident nephew has run on ahead checking the horizon for purple tenticled alien content. Not a Wanamingo in sight. Seen some off the wall, 60's aluminum pan-oven baked, TV dinner genre, 'Wild Wild West' mixed in with the ol' spiggetti styling, but no aliens, yet.

Question for the experts, relative to the First Person targeting suggested above:

How does the RDR 'Bullseye' (real time) targeting, and 'show down' (slow motion-cinematic) targeting of RDR compare with other 3D shooters?

The 'Bullseye' is set up by a button combination in RT, and the 'show down' is a pre set, level boss face off, in what I presume is
BT, Bullet Time.

......


And relative to FP view:

Why waste the time and money on the paper doll graphics of the Player Character, in the equipment-armor screen, (the Cosmo Makeover mini game),
if you can't "see" your sassy ass strut around the scenery?
Will the PC be able to see their pimp styling reflected in those, last frags of glass, or the 'cool' water effects that hypnotizes those who like to be a set of floating eye balls. What is the attraction of being a documentary first person view port crawling around this 'brave new' single world? Rock after rock passes by and the kids' chorus, "are we there, ... yet"?

Just wondering if it'd matter chosing grey green or blue green for my
face camo' if I picked up that 'leather' armor Mark 2.

1. I still think it's funny! :P

2. If I have it in my cache, why does it not appear in the actual thread, only the review, even after reloading the thread?
 
Ask yourself this, does it show up for anyone else?

Edit: Briosafreak, you miss the point. To put it more completely (I thought it made sense in context), does it show up for anyone else who doesn't have the image in their cache?
 
It does, for me, after i opened it in another tab on Firefox it went to my cache, and now it shows up at the post, something like that happened to Claw.
 
*sigh*

Ask yourself this, are you really that stupid?

Or do you actually believe your post was a valid and not outright offensive reply to what I wrote?

Not only did you miss the point of my first post, replying as appropriate for a complacent smartass. Still, forgiveable.
Yet when I did point out the point you missed in my second post, you disregarded it entirely.

So here it is again, and read it out loudly, maybe that helps:
I know the image is cached; if it shows up for anyone else isn't the point.
The "funny" was that it only and exclusively shows up in the "Topic review" at the bottom of the "Post a reply" page. Not in the actual thread. It does not, and never did, show up in the actual thread; there only the "Angelfire" image shows up for me like for everyone else, except exceptions.
 
I love both of you guys, but if you don`t stop the OT and flaming i`ll post goatse pics with your faces until the end of times.

Please stop it.
 
Alright.....why don't you try this:

Right Click on the link I gave an click "copy shortcut."

Then open up a new window, paste it in the address bar, and click go.......

That 'should' work for everyone, but it really can't be this difficult.
 
Never played RDR, I'll have to try it out.

Also the point about not being able to see one's own character easily (forget who brought it up) is a good one. This could be partially alleviated by the ability to switch to third-person (tab in Morrowind) but in Morrowind it was poorly integrated and didn't contribute anything. Perhaps an over-the-shoulder cam reminiscent of Max Payne 2?

Dibujante
 
While we're thinking about third person view, why not move it back so you can see more of your surroundings?
You know, kinda so you look down on the world with your character in the center.
 
Full isometry, however, is different from what they want their engine to do. It's possible, mind, but Morrowind's engine seems (to me) to be easier to commandeer into an over-the-shoulder game than into an isometric game. Still, with a fixed isometric perspective...it would be technically feasible, but aesthetically different from what they are used to doing.
Regards,
Dibujante
 
Who said fixed anyway? I'd be perfectly fine with a free camera as long as the game isn't made with 1st or 3rd in mind and just barely playable in overview mode.

If they could create a perfectly working 1st AND 3rd person mode I wouldn't mind, one of my favourite rpgs used a FP mode in cities (but switched to iso in combat).

But I don't care what they are used to. If they deliver a pleasing result, I will buy the game, if not, screw 'em.
 
Yeah, I try to keep that attitude, too. Too many expectations could poison the development process.

Yeah, Ron Perlman rocks. And he was a good Hellboy. :D


Personally, I have complete faith in Bethesda to produce an enjoyable game. I don't really care if it's not exactly like Fallout 1-2, as long as it's in the same setting, with the same gritty atmosphere that I believe was the most enjoyable part of the game. Just my $0.02 :D

And that is how much the game will be worth if they screw things up really badly..
 
Yeah, if we don't have the "war never changes" guy (or an identical voice actor) for the intro, Bethesda can kiss its revenue goodbye.

Actually, now that I think about it, that might be more difficult than I anticipated. Ron Perlman has become a bit more popular in recent times, and now that the ownership of the license has been changed, I wonder if he'll still do it.

I've scared myself now :shock:

OT (I guess), here's a link to Fallout's IMDb entry, check out who did the voice for Killian. Why don't people tell me these things? :D
 
Do you like Stargate SG-1 Volkov?

Well, hope that Ron Perlman enjoys the Fallout games enough to narrate the introduction for less than an enormous paycheck.
