    Evil Avatar: Fallout - an outside perspective

    Weird that he is starting with FO2, that's a bit wrong. I hope he has read the manual, otherwise he probably won't know what the hell is going on! Anyway it is good that he is making the effort, 10 bottle caps say he will have problems fuelling the car :P

    Fallout 3, who is this for?

    If you think NWN2 was a disappointing sequel to NWN1, I am very shocked that you think Beth will do a good job with F3... Every game they have made since Daggerfall has been a bigger disappointment than the last, and they haven't got the excuse of being a different studio either. Did you know...

    the post apoc genre

    For me, good post apocalyptic media are ones that provide context to the setting, i.e. how it happened, who screwed up and what was lost. All too often people just throw together a load of blown up architecture/rubble/wasteland and proclaim it post apocalyptic - without putting much thought...

    Age of Decadence round-up

    Been following this project for a while, shaping up very nicely. Can sympathise strongly on the art-direction front. For a demo project I did, figured I could get away with focussing on the gameplay and letting the art slide quite a bit in terms of planning time. Later on in development it...

    Fallout 3, who is this for?

    Can't see it being any more violent than most generic shooters already available. Manhunt got pwned more for it's references to real life crimes etc, afaik. Dare say some Americans could object to the fact the game blatently promotes the use of nuclear weapons in Washington DC :P

    Fargo clarifies

    I'd piss myself if he does a Starcraft 2, and out of the blue unleashes a load of screen shots/media of a game quite far in development, with an isometric perspective, and the full works. It would certainly take the wind out of Bethesda's sails somewhat and nerf their first person argument...

    Fallout 3, who is this for?

    The new kind of fan's that will be created by FO3 are very unlikely to be interested in prior games, can't see console kids going out and playing a 10 year old pcgame. That being said we aren't having a popularity contest, the fact that FO3 could garner a few new true fan's is utterly moot to...

    Game Informer Unlimited FAQ and video

    Got to feel some pity for Todd, he must have been prized away from his beloved 360 to do that interview, he was clearly going cold turkey. Wonder if they gave him he rest of the day off to recover? Cruel gits.

    Game Informer Unlimited FAQ and video

    Good artwork (and gameplay) are far more important than graphics technology. Good artwork looks nice even when the technology behind it is heavily outdated. FO's engine may be old but if you dump the graphics into say FIFE and render it out in highres, it looks gorgeous even today (same with...

    Is there a Lawyer in the room?

    Possibly vandalism, with respect to moving stuff around. I know guys who have been busted on that for playing with diversion signs, and moving traffic cones around etc.

    Assorted BioShock news

    I really like the look of this game, and kudos to the developers for being upfront about it being first and foremost a FPS. I've not really been a fan of any of the new 'generic' shooters, this though looks like it is going to evolve the genre to another level. Who knows, despite being a FPS...

    Game Informer Unlimited FAQ and video

    I would contest that. They have good modellers, but they don't have creative/good level designers (or at least not post MW). Comparing MW to Oblivion you see a huge difference in artistic quality, MW was very interesting visually and the level of painstaking detail that went into it was...

    Game Informer Unlimited FAQ and video

    It is known that some developers/publishers recruit 'community liaisons', whose roles vary.. a lot. Bethesda doing such a tactic really wouldn't surprise me. At the end of the day NMA is the #1 FO fansite, and the bad news for them is that we don't like em. They can't legally destroy us - so...

    Game Informer Unlimited FAQ and video

    Is it me or do none of them seem at all energized in discussing their product? I've seen a lot of meet the dev type films, and none of them have been this, for lack of better words, 'dull'. A good comparison would be the Bioshock stuff. The lack of love shines through like a torch...

    Game Informer Fallout 3 article scans

    Heh, using the football comparison: Fallout was American Football, Bethesda have given us Soccer. Differently shaped ball and a different set of rules. When we bitch and whine about the change, Bethesda (and those of you who support them) are basically saying: 'Look, they are both team...

    Meh, all 3 are flawed. Personally i'm going to call in the Space Marines to vanquish the Orc scum. Seriously spamming boards will do sod all (and be childish), you will be banned and NMA blacklisted. It's best we do what we do already, glow with hate but keep it self contained and spread the...

    Game Informer Unlimited FAQ and video

    To be fair this does clarify quite a lot for me, in terms of stuff I actually give a damn about: > Oblivion Dialogue? - Buzzz Wrong answer! Rest of it pretty sums up what a lot of us had already put together, glad there's no vehicles though. But that doesn't reconcile the stuff they have...

    Wasteworld Civilization 3 Mod Pictures

    Looks quite interesting. Some of the UI stuff though looks a bit too copy/paste of the FO graphics - personally I think they should do their own tailor made graphics, but try and keep it in the same style as far as they possibly can. Currently it looks just a tad too hacked together for my...
