    GameTrailers interviews Pete Hines

    i think linear means you must go a->b->c->d->end. hence the term "railroading" because you can't leave the track or else you can't get to the end. or in other words, "you can't do d if you haven't done c and you can't get the end if you haven't done abcd in that order" it wasn't about...

    Fallout 3 QA guy on subject of "200 years later"

    why don't you guys just pick one premise and stick WITH IT jebus "A GOOD GAME IS A GAME THAT EMULATES REALITY!" but it may not be a fun game "A GOOD GAME IS A GAME THAT LETS ME DO WHATEVER THE HELL I WANT WITH NO CONSEQUENCE!" but then it may not be a good game jebus

    Crispy Gamer and VideoGamer play Fallout 3

    and if you don't understand the definition...let's clarify once again versimilitude is the quality of consistency, probability, and in a sense "immersion" into any imaginary setting. it's one thing to say "it's a fantasy, so anything goes" and another to say "it's a fantasy, but it still has...

    Bit-tech plays Fallout 3

    diablo and dungeon siege are roguelikes. the only similarities to rpgs they may have is a stat system. stories are usually paper-thin in roguelikes, much like d2 and dungeon siege. fo1 and 2 were not roguelikes: the didn't have randomly generated maps, and you didn't spend much time in...

    More Fallout 3 Gameplay Footage

    some things i enjoyed about the trailer: 1. graphics. not terrible, but not great. no jaggies, pop in baddies, and the textures on the environment look good. really impressive draw distance. this is not in regards to the style, just the graphics. things i noticed about the trailer: 1...

    New dev diary on Fallout 3 site

    i was noting that to make the point that bethesda is infatuated with "quirks" like that and capitalize on them in the wrong way. such as ghouls now being zombies. it's a leap of logic! deal with it!!!!

    New dev diary on Fallout 3 site

    oh yeahhhhh the thread was about the concept art. ah goshdoodershnickles i just see all this stuff trying so hard to look "cool" and it bothers me to no end because their idea of "cool" is akin to FO: BoS "Burning Gloves" cool or "Harold has a tree!" cool and it bothers me. it bothers...

    New dev diary on Fallout 3 site

    what bothers me most is the fact that the CONCEPT ART already demonizes the two groups that would pose the most interesting plot elements in the game ghouls are zombies. they look like zombies, they walk like zombies, they attack like zombies, why not draw them like zombies?? - this is a...

    CanardPC Fallout 3 magazine Preview

    all voiced by harrison ford of course!! ahahaha the weapons SOUND cool. applications are good. freeze guys. maybe that's a lame excuse for TB mesmetron sounds good too, but providing non-combat applications may possibly make the game easier than normal...without considering your skill...

    Kieron Gillen interviews Pete Hines

    i have to concede the rest of your post i suppose. if a QUALITY developer had laid hands on this IP, we would most certainly not be in the predicament we are in presently. all hail the corporate machine

    Kieron Gillen interviews Pete Hines

    while that may be the case, i was simply stating the fact that beth's reasoning (explicit or implicit, whichever the case may be) that "we want to reach the most people, so let's make it as accessible as possible" is totally untenable. at least that's what i think. it's not that i don't AGREE...

    Kieron Gillen interviews Pete Hines

    you know mal, don't apologize. your english is fine, your argument is clear, and i totally agree with you. and roshambo, holy jeez you're so freakin' on it's like no joke. it's too bad bethsoft can't get its head out of its ass and on a different track to possibly even consider that a...

    Kieron Gillen interviews Pete Hines

    i suppose what bothers me most about this interview is that Gillen's previous previews/interviews/features have often been well-thought out and relatively comprehensive, while in THIS case he seems to have fallen into the trap that most other interviewers have. the whole question of "You're...

    Kieron Gillen interviews Pete Hines

    if you reallt believe there is "no lie" in those stances, i think you can at least concede there is an undeniably obvious amount of DISINGENUOUSNESS in those statements. "tell us what you think! we'll consider it!" "we decided what we're going to do. it has nothing to do with what you...

    Kieron Gillen interviews Pete Hines

    there may be nothing "intrinsically wrong" with beth doing fallout, but there is something with LYING about the REASONS for doing fallout. once that foundation can be questioned, there really is NO TRUST LEFT in the rest of the process. their motivation is pretty much plainly financial...
