More Hope for Fallout 3

[ Game -> Update ] - More info on <a href="http://wikipocalypse.duckandcover.cx/in ... title=Pete Hines">Person: Pete Hines</a> | More info on <a href="http://wikipocalypse.duckandcover.cx/in ... e=Bethesda Softworks">Company: Bethesda Softworks</a> | More info on <a href="http://wikipocalypse.duckandcover.cx/in ... le=Fallout 3">Game: Fallout 3</a>

Pete Hines gave another Oblivion interview, this time to <a href="http://www.newgamingradio.com/" target="_self">New Gaming Radio</a>. It seems more and more hype is building up in the gaming community for Fallout 3. In this interview, Pete gives us a lot of hope about the game. Here's a bit of the transcript from <a href="http://www.nma-fallout.com" target="_self">NMA</a>, as I haven't had time to listen to/watch the interview myself.
<blockquote>New Gaming Radio: Is there
anything you can tell me about Fallout 3, 'cause I'm a huge fan.
Perspective? (indecipherable mumbling) Is it going to be true to the
top-down or is it going to be Oblivion style?
Pete Hines: It will be true to what is good and memorable and what is "Fallout". That's it.
NGR: You have the rights to the Fallout (mumbling) and everything.
PH: We have the rights to
everything we need to make Fallout 3. It's in development, we're
working on it and as I've said before we're planning on making a
Fallout game as if we've made the first two and now we're making the
third. Just like we've made all the previous Elder Scrolls games and
now we're making Oblivion. So that is the level of time and attention
and detail and effort that we're putting into it. And much like with
Oblivion we don't plan to talk about or show what we're up to until
we're ready. Until we're far enough along to say this is what it looks
like, this is how it plays, here's the information.

And once again it's going to be a "Here's the game we're making."
[reference to earlier part of interview - Kharn] We're not going to go
out there chasing individuals, pulling on their shirts saying please
please please come buy it. Buy it. Don't buy it. We think that what
we're up to and what we're working on is pretty spectacular, pretty
amazing. And down the road, and it's not way down the road but a little
bit down the road when we start talking about it. We hope folks will be
as excited about it and as interested in it as we are. I'm playing it
again. I'm in the Hub right now going through and doing caravans and
whatnot. So I'm a fan of it as well and just as much as I'm looking
forward to us putting it out there I'm looking forward to us playing it. </blockquote>Take what you will from this, but it's getting me much more optimistic about the game. I just can't wait until real news starts coming out. Spotted @ <a href="http://www.nma-fallout.com">No Mutants Allowed</a>

A reliable source told me Pete Hines was seen in a cinema showing Brokeback Mountain together with Oleg, the Stalker PR guy.

Contentwise, that statement's value is 0. They'll need more than pretty words to convince me.

what did you expect: they DON'T want to say anything yet and they're constantly bugged to say something, so what you get is forced bullshit.

True true

Like in this one:
Stephen Glicker: Anything we're going to see? Are we going to see something at E3 maybe?
Pete Hines: Nope.
SG: Nope?
PH: Nope.
SG: Nothing...?
SG don't understand english so he got bullshit

That Glicker fellow is probably a girl in a man costume

I love sigaginatures.

Why the fuck are you getting excited? This is just the kind of bullshit PR phrases you'd expect regardless if they're going to rape Fallout just a tiny bit, somewhat or completely.

This vague idealistic view of what Fallout 3 will be has me either thinking it will turn out to suffer from DNF syndrome (in a perpetual state of development and technical revision). Or it's a flat out lie from the propaganda mill at Bethesda in hopes to reduce the numbers of people openly criticizing them for making FO3 essentially Oblivion with guns.

This statement I find, is indicative of the latter more than the former.

It will be true to what is good and memorable and what is "Fallout".

It will be marketed towards mouthbreathers who cannot enjoy anything that is not real time or played in the first or third person. We'll mask a lot of gameplay inadequacies and overcompensate for the lack of "authentic fallout gameplay" with ample amounts of radscorpions and brahmin, Ron Perlman and many other cliche fallout'ish trappings in a feeble attempt to appease the inconsolable diehard fans. We'll probably also throw in some scantily clad sluts too... just for good measure.

A good portion of what was good AND memorable about fallout, was it's fucking gameplay. Which they seem to be intent on fist fucking with an iron shod staff of gaming-franchise-rapery plus ten.

Then again I could be reading all too much into those vague evasive statements.

But I still think I'm right.

fallout isn't that great guys, how about the new hitman game? Or bioshock huh. Those are sure things, go with the safe ditty.

I wanna see ol' Goerge Lucas rape star wars for another game.

REX SPEAKS:

They're probably going to wait for the RPG Codex, NMA and other sites like it to shut down, and for everyone to forget what Fallout was ever like before they start work on Fallout 3. Expect it sometime Summer, 2009.

you know, for a company that doesn't want to talk about Fallout 3, they sure have been talking about it an awful lot the last two weeks.

Wolfman Walt · Post by **Wolfman Walt** » Sun Feb 26, 2006 6:45 am

I think it's more of their talking around Fallout 3 rather then about Fallout 3.

There's not much else he can say basicly, either its about rape or iso heaven. Let's just pretend as if no one bought the license, and then :shock: :horror: when they drop a load of screendumps.
