They are obviously paranoid about security/cheating and are putting a lot of effort into that, but I don't know how successful their countermeasures will be.

I prefer Mafia far more than GTA, which I believe is fairly uninteresting, but that is more because of my taste. Mafia would be one of my best games, ever. I have said GTA is crap in comparison before, but they are trying to do different things. I also fear that they might dumb things down...

Hmm, developed by FOT's Micro Forté. Seems like there are a number of strategies to gain cash, rather than just kills and capture the flag, some appearing like gambling. There are no bots, as it is a cash driven multiplayer free-for-all. I don't think the novelty cash mechanic will be...

Possibly, although that would involve rolling dice and hurt "immersion" (maybe why it was ditched for Oblivion), which would be inconsistent with their other comments/decisions.

10/10 Outstanding!

More spin at its "next-gen finest". I forget if the creatures in an area keep getting changed as part of level scaling? Even more encouraging, especially the differentiation between stats and skills. Shame about the loss of intelligence. I wonder if the wobbliness comprises all of...

Although our born-again fellow fan Sorrow is misrepresented/taken out of context. Not particularly balanced I'm afraid from these snippets, but not too bad.

Good to see you back, even if only for a short while. I do hope that Bethsoft has at least a shred of interest in real depth and quality, although this might be kneecapped by lack of talent, balls etc., but I'm probably too optimistic.

Nice, although I'm reminded of professional clipart. Don't skimp on the proofreading (Another pair of eyes can be useful). I look forward to the next issue.

Nice guy. Seems clever too. He might also enjoy Starship Titanic. What I'm more curious about is what the editors are like.

Interesting read, providing a good feel for what it might have been like to work on Fallout in that capacity. Happy to hear he seems to be doing well and enjoying himself with Leonard Boyarsky.

A fascinating and insightful interview. Many thanks!

Hummingbirds - If a Vow

But probably not for us and not as a Fallout sequel. I wouldn't say that FO3 will be a total train wreck, but likely still very disappointing, as we have high standards. I should make clear that my expectations are lower than they might be for some other developers, but I doubt that even they...

I wouldn't go as far as saying Aliens was faithful to the core ideas of the original, even if it is an excellent film in its own right. The analogy is weakened by the change in medium and context, but importantly, we know who the developer is for FO3, and it isn't encouraging. Neither is...

Google game credits Fallout/Fallout 2/Plansecape: Torment.

Again, I love both films. But not everyone does. Even if Bethesda miraculously created a masterpiece with massive changes, that would be of little consolation to fans of the original who sorely miss elements that had been downgraded or discarded, and find the alternative unsatisfying. You will...

Fallout sequel =/= spinoff The preview, Bethesda's past, and current approach strongly suggest that FO3 will be a poor Fallout sequel. Poor Fallout sequel => poor Fallout sequels ... Profit
