If "real FO" is defined by turn-based combat and a top-down perspective, then no. But I don't think FO is defined by that. It's defined by atmosphere, depth of play, open-ended freedom, a well-told story, and all those other slightly more important things that help us remember the game long after we've finished it. I could give two shits about TB combat, if the rest of the game is done right.

well the playing experience is gonna be quite different when you turn from TB to RT combat. This part of playing experience also substantially contributed to what Fallout is and how it feels to play, IMO.

I guess it'll suck even by your standards, because that sure isn't happening.

i'd at least wait awhile to see whether or not that is true.

I don't have to wait for shit. It has the Brotherhood and Super Mutants/Locust. Looks pretty out of place to me.


and ditto on PiP's playing experience contributing to what Fallout was. Granted it does not define fallout, but it was, to me, a large part of it. I have yet to see an FPS do what Fallout did.

this actually sounds like you're daring someone to attempt it
