They're called the Brotherhood of Steel, except they're not like the Brotherhood of Steel. They're called supermutants, except they're not like supermutants. It's called Fallout, except it's not like Fallout. *sigh* ...I'm beginning to see a pattern here. I'd rather not, though.

"I saw a fucking mudcrab today." "Horrible creatures, screw 'em." *sigh* I still don't get how they manage to fail this much in terms of lore when they're supposedly trying to stay true to the originals. It seems... humanly impossible.

The Mass Effect ones are funny, in a "haha yes we know it's a shitty action-movie wannabe that's so bad it's good" way. An EXTREME holiday season? References to blue tits (of the asari kind)? Seems like self-parody to me.

Haha, oh wow. These are hilariously bad. Anything can be Fallout-y if you just slap VaultBoy faces on stuff.

VD said they'd be entering IGF 2009, which means a feature-complete version of the game has to be ready by 2008 September, or so. Maybe not Q1, but a 2008 release doesn't seem that unlikely now, at any rate.

I think I remember Elhoim pointing out the lack of support for specular maps in TGE 1.3, the version they're using. I suppose it isn't too likely it'd support shaders either, then.

I sometimes wonder whether there's a huge sack of cash involved, or people decide to throw reason and journalistic standards out the window by their own will. This article makes me lean towards the former option, considering the Freudian slip stating that "there's not enough info to decide...

Good news. You can cross off 'foulmouthed' from the 'foulmouthed noble knights of the wasteland' thing needing to be fixed.

So, apparently we're going to get a localized version of the game hereabouts, which is fairly uncommon. Here's hoping that Polish translates better into Hungarian than English (or rather that semi-broken English re-translates into something intelligible, eh). And that they won't censor stuff...

"Nprotagonist"? Wasn't NPC good enough? Other than that, a good read.

And how about something more recent? My point being that nowadays there seem to be far too many PC games that could easily pass for a console game, or heck, are straight console ports/multiplatform releases. I've no problems with console games at all, as long as PC games providing a...

Desslock, meet Vagrant Story. Vagrant Story, meet Desslock. FO3's VATS is pretty similar to that, except with everything but the most basic aspects cut out. Simplification =/= innovation. Though if you consider the "more action" part innovative, then possibly.

My reaction to that part was, and I quote, "BWO-HOH-HOH-HAHAHA!".

Comedy gold. Really, there isn't much that can be added. I can't really imagine how it could be any more uninformative and sycophantic an interview. Well, there could be more typos/factual inaccuracies, though. ("rat scorpions" and the like)

In Fallout 3, it is. "This is the wasteland. Life is cheap and violence is all that there is. You're going to make people remember that, including those pesky invulnerable children, who seem to have forgotten." I think I'll actually submit that, why the heck not.

I'm wondering how many will send in a "Childkiller" perk.

Same way it did in Morrowind, perhaps?

I thought that reusing one of Emil's stupidest comments would give it away. Seems like I need to use the [sarcasm] tag more often. My point was that when referring to Fallout as turn-based and isometric, everyone knows precisely what you're talking about, even though it might not be...

It's a common misconception that Fallout was isometric, similarly to how it's a common misconception that Fallout was turn-based.

Yes, that is why I said two weeks and not less. ;) It's obviously dependent on the person, and it might be an optimistic estimate, but I do think 2.5 months would suffice to learn C++ and get creating something in a pre-existing game engine. Then again, I've no idea how effective TGEA would be...
