    Fallout 3 reviews round-up #93

    You cann't? Look for whether the emotion they are showing fits the english subs.

    1UP interview with Emil

    You don't want to go there. Sound Quality varies alot with 3 different factors. 1) The equipment used to record the original sound. 2) The item that the sound is recorded to. 3) The system you play the sound on. Problems with any of them can ruin the quality quite easily and Bethsoft...

    Are games art? Well, Fallout 3 is getting there

    I would say that all art should be decided on a case by case basis. The history of art shows that when a new medium for art is discovered it almost always dismissed as garbage not worth discussing. It's taken over 100 years for cinema to reach this point of acceptablity. Television is still...

    1UP interview with Emil

    Which just makes me wonder what game they are playing? What they are smoking? Or whether someone has paid them off. Voice acting is three things in one. The words they are reading. The direction they are given. And finally the ability of the actor to emote the right feeling. What are...

    Ideas for new Fallout threats

    Very interesting. You would have to drop hints so the players feel they have a chance of figuring this out before the big reveal, but you can get around that by playing a game of telephone.

    Fallout 4- doesn't have to be incremental, chronologically

    With those burn patterns? It comes across as something that has stood since the fall of the bombs. Anyway, the wooden buildings would have looked great in a game set 10 to 20 years after someone arrived in DC. Hmmmmmm. That is the big problem: People. 200 years after the war or 5 years...

    Fallout 4- doesn't have to be incremental, chronologically

    The buildings are more of an example of the lack of thought that went into the game. Ausir said it best: Parts of Fallout 3 look/play/read great, but the whole looks more like Dr. Frankstein put it together than a polished game.

    Fallout 2 & 3 side by side comparison

    Games are an illusion that is created as you play. What sort of illusion or how the game builds it vary from game to game. In a game based on 50s SCIENCE! I'm not looking for a completely realistic, but I do want one that doesn't break it's own rules. Fallout 3 fails this test as in alot of...

    Fallout 4- doesn't have to be incremental, chronologically

    SCIENCE! has rules. They aren't the same as the ones reality has, but the rules exist all the same. Retro 50s SCIENCE! doesn't use composite wood & instead goes for shiny metal surfaces & some plastics. Looks better? To you and alot of other fans sure. Not to everyone otherwise we...

    Ideas for new Fallout threats

    I see the biggest two threats in the Fallout universe being Nature & humans. But that isn't really new and rather general. The progression of towns in Fallout 1 to what they became in 2 struck me as interesting game in itself. What I mean is that by completing quests or not the player...

    Chris Taylor's desktop

    Grave dig, but since you commented first might as well also. Can you see the blurred icon because I cann't. I wonder what CRT stands for? Or what the Nathaniel folder is?

    Fallout 4- doesn't have to be incremental, chronologically

    My point was that the items would have been used up. Wood buildings still standing 200 years after the city has been nuked... yeah right. The buildings as they are would not be good shelter so tear them down to make something new. It happenned after the fall of Rome why wouldn't it happen in...

    V.A.T.S. is NOT a combat system

    Systems are suppose to be become better/more advanced over time. 10 years has passed since Fallout 1.... and yet VATS strikes me as less advanced than Aimed shots in Fallout 1. Is VATS a combat system or is a cheat? For me it's a badly balanced combat system that seems tacked on to the...

    Role of GECK

    You can use a number of things to filter radiation. Not sure if sunflowers are one of them. Mostly what you want to do is bind the radioactive elements or break them down. Soil works by binding them with the side effect that parts of it become slightly radioactive. So if you're running alot...

    The Future

    Europe went to war constantly with itself and war pushes people to invent things so they don't die. South American wasn't nearly that aggressive so the pressure to invent better armour, weapons & ships wasn't there. I don't think it's odd. I mean they had the sky to stare at for like forever...

    Fallout 3 reviews round-up #92

    Faulty logic. More people have read Shakespeare now then did in his time. If you're talking about the % of people playing games that is whole different story. But Fallout 1 sold well and is still selling so the number of people playing the original is going up not down.

    Bethesda Vs. Black Isle: Sex, Brats, And Addiction

    Have you ever writen a short story for English class? Does that make you are writer or not? There is a good article on computer game writing and why it fails as often as it does. I think it was on Game Banshee, I'll see if I can dig it up. The point it makes in the end is that the Writers...

    The Future

    I said it was a fun idea. Not that it was a serious or correct one. History is full of dates & times when everything is going to end. You can take the doom & gloom attitude or have a little fun. The odd thing about the Mayans plus several other people is that they had accurate calandars &...

    Fallout 4- doesn't have to be incremental, chronologically

    Fallout Bible: http://www.nma-fallout.com/forum/dload.php?action=category&cat_id=37 How much has the world changed since you were born? How much since your parents were born? The reason 200 years since the war is tossed around so much is: 1) Things decay alot after that much time. 2)...

    1UP interview with Emil

    I think the reason for the name is it's a joke. I keep flashing on two movies whenever I hear the name. One having a guy called Dave replacing the president after the president has an accident. It's a comedy. The other was more serious & had a fishing village create a republic of Solomon...
