Bethesdas last game is the highest scoring game on the PS3, and the second highest scoring game on the Xbox360. Interplays Fallout won a rather prestigious award.

But Fallout 3 is a radical departure from everything that made Fallout 1 and 2 great. And Bethesda doesn't exactly lend your arguement any credibility. Despite its scores Oblivion remains to be one of the shallowest and buggiest RPG's I've ever played. Fallout could be a great game but from what I've seen and read, as well as my impressions of Oblivion, Fallout 3 is going to be a disgrace to the Fallout franchise.

I don't know. :( I can understand someone not personally being into a game, but to call it "garbage".

I would assume he's talking about Fallout 3, and not the previous two Fallout titles.

The problem with that reasoning is that the RE franchise wasn't defined as a genre based on its gameplay (although people did get used to it). Survival horror wasn't exclusive to fixed camera angle games. Fallout, on the other hand, is a PnP RPG which is being morphed into something else entirely.

But how would he even know if Fallout 3 is garbage unless he has played it? Is he one of those Fallout 1 and 2 fanboys that dosent think Bethesda will do a good job on Fallout 3? black_awpN1

The whole point here is that Fallout isn't Fallout without the original format. Making an Elder Scrolls clone and then calling it "Fallout" isn't going to make it Fallout. If they took the story similarities and put them in an Elder Scrolls engine and then decided to name it something other than Fallout, that would be fine, but this is clearly an anal violation of a beloved franchise.

I personally think it looks like it will be a great game. Did you want them to make it a Top down game like Fallout 1 and 2 where? Would that ne OK on consoles these days?

But RE 4 was a departure into something new, Fallout 3 seems to be rounding out into Oblivion with guns.

Fallout isn't even a console game to begin with. Its PnP elements+Isometric view is designed for the PC.

Which in theory sounds like Fun. but when its put into practice is another story. Im personally gonna wait for Reviews probaly. But by god if the game dosent look gorgeous.

Fallout 1 and 2 were amazing. But I am seeing bleak outlooks for Fallout 3, I assume that it's either going to be decent but not have the same Fallout taste or it's going to be horrible.

Fallout 1 and 2 were on PC. The game would be best suited for PC and not some crappy console game ported to PC. I feel that they will consolize it like Oblivion with the bad menus and other nasty steps.

I loved the first 2 fallouts its just

Bethsheda made a dumbed down elder scrolls in oblivion(marrowind OWNED it)

and the list of dumbed down PC games because of console casuals goes on and on

Ghost Recon, Rainbow Six, now Unreal Tournament, the Shock series(bioshock was a spiritual sequel)

So im kind of worried for Fallout.

He's calling Fallout 3 garbage. That statement will probably be accurate. :(

Having said that, Gamespot will probably give it the Game of the Year award.

That may very well be my personal game of the year I have to agree. Hopefully the atmosphere and the setting will feel right, but it does without a doubt looks great. Now I only could play the original Fallout. I think those are my type of games.

Gotta say though. I'm really looking forward to SSBB and Left 4 Dead.

Beat me to it. That goes to anybody who said the same^

And I'm personally looking forward to Fallout 3, sure it's a different take on the franchise, and is similar to Oblivion; but that doesn't mean it can't be a great game.

Why did they even name it Fallout when that name means nothing to their target audience? I guess they needed at least something to rip off since their creativity and talent is mostly in the PR department. I'm reserving most of my bashing after the game comes out, and while me, other Fallout fans and people who found Oblivion a mockery of RPGs won't propably like it. I'm sure it will still be the most popular and praised action-adven.. err..RPG, of 2008.

Nah, bethesda is going to ruin fallout just like they did with Elder Scrolls. I still hope for Starcraft in 2008.
