Exactly. I know that no-one is forcing me to play Bethesda's Fallout, but whenever I hear people talking about it, it's like hearing Puff Daddy covering Beethoven. It's just painful. I don't just love the old Fallout-games for being great RPG's, but also for their themes and the stories they...

Well well, I can barely believe this. I had already buried Fallout, but now Interplay and Bethsoft are sueing each other over FOOL? After killing Van Buren, giving us the atrocity that is POS and finally selling the IP to a company most Fallout-fans despised, I'm actually cheering for Herve...

Heh, I bet he saws off the kid's head, then puts it on a plate so we can have a laugh! That would be typical Fallout humour, right? But perhaps he just uses it to cut the cake...

Why, why, why? This is the first time I see one of those green brutes in high resolution. How in the name of humanity can this... thing be considered a supermutant? The size, the expression on his face, the stupid shield, the skulls he wears as trophies... Unbelievable, they managed to make it...

This is a good thing, though. Hopefully it means we'll get more than three lines on screen.

That article is so drenched in sarcasm, you have to be a robot not to understand it. Funny, as always, but I'm getting a bit tired of these articles coming from the Codex. Yes, we know that Bethesda is a dodgy company and that Fallout 3 is probably going to be a failure. The Codex style of...

I applaud the writer for his effort, but sadly Insidegamer isn't exactly the premiere gaming site in the Dutch-speaking region. In fact, many comments on the article seem to consist of "vet!", which is Dutch for "awesome", implying they didn't even get the tone of the damn article. Someone even...

It doesn't really change a lot, since Bethesda already owned the rights to Fallout 3 and I believe several sequels. It just means that Bethesda can now rape the franchise in every possible way, including a PoS2 or something even worse. It's a scary thought, but it doesn't really come as a shock...

I'm starting to hope that Fallout 3 will flop in a horrible, horrible way. Maybe then Todd and his clueless buddies will get it out of their empty heads to develop a Fallout 4. And I'm just dreading the moment when those 14-year old XBOX kids will call themselves the fallout fan community, after...

That sounds brave. Hopefully this feature will fit the game. Nothing annoys me more than having to play through the same stuff again and again. The game should be flexible enough to choose an entirely different path when you have to start over.

A bit too early to say, perhaps, but at least the atmosphere looks/sounds alright. Might be fun for playing on a LAN if it has multiplayer. I don't know if I'll bother with the rest of the game. If it has the same 'fantasticness' as Oblivion, probably not.

I'm not saying Fallout 3 will be damned if it follows TES with the 'big, open world' thing, but I have to admit it's one my fears for this game. I'm afraid it will force the developers into putting way too much work into the design of the gaming environment, rather than plot and roleplaying...

Yeah, I'm surprised no-one has picked up on that yet. Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but does this imply that Fallout 3 will have a TES-type gameworld, instead of the 'location based' approach from the classic Fallouts?

That poster is cool. It really breathes the Fallout atmosphere, wasn't expecting this from Bethesda (so you can imagine how low my opinion from this studio is)! Maybe they're making enough money on the The Elder "omg best game evar!!1!" Scrolls to afford making a game that caters to smaller...

That was my first thought as well. They know the large majority of the Fallout community is after their blood. Announcing that the game will use an isometric perspective or something close to it will take a lot of that anger and hate away. So why not just say it? Perhaps because Bethesda is...
