"We're not going to go away from what it is that we do best. We're not going to suddenly do a top-down isometric Baldur's Gate-style game, because that's not what we do well."

"There's no question that what we're interested in making is a role-playing game. In addition, our Elder Scrolls games are open-ended, offer the player lots of options to play the game as they choose... Things like that. I think those qualities are consistent with those in Fallout."
guess there's no more kicking rats in the groin then..
wooot? fallout 3? wooot.. kipas susah mati fallout 2 here. loved that game, played so many times. but my bros keep on talking crap about the game. not so realistic as "there's no such thing as taking turns to attack in real life" lol.
Fallout 2 was rated one of the best RPG game ever. but i wonder why dont they make a sequel for it ASAP! waited for so long..
but seriously, when this game comes out, i'll be the 1st to buy! lol
btw, anyone knows any game which is similar to Fallout 2 in terms of everything? Please don't say Fallout 1 lol

Those folks over at NMA have made a video showing some leaked scenes from the latest build of Fallout 3 while it was till being developed under Black Isle.
Aside from the fact it looked like ass (It wasn't complete, obviously) noticable differences include a somewhat real-time combat system in what looks like a limited 3D-esque environment.

well Bethesda will make a good rpg out of it but i dont know if they would stay true to the whole theme of it... just look at the more recent elder scrolls games they aren't that adult theme game.. besides the phychos at the brotherhood hehe.. im not saying that the eldar scrolls game is not for adults its just not as nasty as the fallouyt series imo.. but one thing good bout it is that i'll bet that Bethesda will have some sort of modding utility for it for people to play with..
Well nowadays it's hard to find games that has such an impact as Fallout had on me long time ago. So you can say I don't have a lot of expectations for it. But if they're capable of making Oblivion, which is quite outstanding in it's own right, I believe they could put out another stunner with Fallout 3.
Come to think about it, I do hope Bethesda don't treat fallout as something like elder scrolls in a bombed out world. It isn't. The thing about fallout, the appeal is not just open-ended gameplay. It's the irony inside the game that matters. All the jokes, the unique atmosphere, the sheer fragility of life in the wastelands (in which you can run into a city and simply gun down everybody), the incredulously impossible sci-fi stuff back from the 50's and 60's, the style... everything. It is not just an open-ended rpg. It's so much more than that.
I'm really doubtful whether Bethesda could re-capture the feel of it. Cross my fingers!
I am not too pleased with Oblivion. As long as they don't have the mentality to do things like Oblivion because it sells, I will be satisfied. I am not expecting them not to expand on fallout but as long as the humor, hardcore irony, and different town, different feel kind of thing remains, it should be ok in my book.
more like under developed, your only task is to whack some raiders and get into a vault to fix some stuff. That's it, that and only the Male player character works, the female player character gots no clothes (bewbies) but can't be used.
Liam Neeson will be doing voice over work for a character in Fallout 3!

May 8, 2007 (Rockville, MD) - Bethesda Softworks(R) is pleased to announce that highly acclaimed international actor Liam Neeson will lead the cast providing voice work in Fallout 3. Neeson will play the role of the player's father and will appear prominently throughout the game. Fallout 3 is currently under development at Bethesda Game Studios, creators of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion(R), which won numerous Game of the Year and RPG of the Year awards in 2006.
"This role was written with Liam in mind, and provides the dramatic tone for the entire game," said Todd Howard, Executive Producer of Fallout 3. "Liam is absolutely amazing to work with."
Neeson is known for starring roles in blockbuster films such as Schindler's List, Star Wars: Episode I, The Chronicles of Narnia, and Batman Begins. Throughout his illustrious career, Neeson has been the recipient of numerous honors for his work in film and theater, including Academy Award, Golden Globe and Tony Award nominations.
"It's been a pleasure bringing the father to life and working with the wonderfully talented people at Bethesda on Fallout 3," said Neeson. "I hope the fans of the franchise and the game will be excited by the results."
Enough talk! Lets pray hard that Fallout 3 will be the game that makes you cry, the game that relished memories of previous installments, that we have cherished, and last but not least the game that we have waited all this goddamn while.
Nah, don't get your hopes on it. Oblivion gets an M and what about it? Nothing. In other words a Fallout in an Oblivion world will means the same damn thing.
Well, if you had the time to read this whole thread (about 2 pages only imo), then you'll know that fallout 1&2 are like heaven and earth compared to fallout tactics. We don't want fallout tactics to be reborn.
Just pray that this new fallout 3 will be even better compared to fallout 2. but, can it be? Fallout 2 seems like unbeatable for its genre...
