Bethesda Softworks to Develop and Publish Fallout 3

There really never was a chance that fallout 3 would be done in isometric. Isometric has a list of disadvantages over other views a mile long.
Even Troika is making its newest game in first person.

However, over-the-shoulder is nice and easy, and if it isn't in Turn-Based and SPECIAL, I believe that Beth is going to burn to the ground. Or there is going to be a scene much like the Fallout 2 intro video, featuring an angry fallout fan with high skill in big guns and bethesda employees.

But what we all truly hope for, is that Bethesda will realize that they will get lynched when they botch FO3, and so they publish it and have Troika develop.

 

Isometric is Fallout....it always has and it always should be...

If the game doesn't feel like Fallout, I shall be angered and curse Bethesda forever. They will probably make a freakin slow Fallout....fallout...ISN'T slow, which is why I liked it.

 

I have yet to see a first person turnbased game.

Either he is trying to intimidate diehard fallout fans or he was ear-raped trough his brain.

 

And then Troika won't get enough time to do the game, and there'd be tons of bugs and... Well we've already seen that happen twice - Troika should definitely get some good negotiators.

Truth be told I doubt Bethesda would allow anyone else develop the game. Should they succeed - they'll be winners. Should they screw it up - they'll still be the ones to resurrect the series and still they'll be able to claim 'It's only those stupid hardcore Fallout fans who say our game's bad and they don't count cause they'll but it anyway and we still managed to go mainstream". Dammit, the game's development has been hardly announced and I'm already bitching about it. Let's look at the bright side - it can't get worse than F:T, can it?

 

O...K...

It looks like Bethesda has the rights to Fallout three and other sequels, but Interplay still reserves the right to develop a Fallout MMORPG. This is going to be a mess .

 

What's with all the hate? Are fallout fans so jaded and pissed off, they can't get excited about a new game being made?

I guess I'm alone in that I'm excited with this news. I didn't like Morrowind, but I won't say Bethesda makes shitty games.

I'd rather be cautiously optimistic at this point, that's all.

 

This is what it sounds like when Baby Jesus cries...

 

Well at least we managed to flood Bethesda's forums with jeremiads about how NOT to fuck the game. It's beautiful to see four threads on the same subject get filled to top capacity in two days.

 

Because a sequel to two isometric, turn-based RPGs will be a first-person, real-time action RPG (as confirmed by Bethesda).

 

They have not confirmed anything yet. I don't think they even have started working on the planing for the game.

 

Milo, I'm with you. I want them to make FO3. I want to see it.
I don't think we have any reason to pledge any form of jihad or desire to bomb Bethesda. Not until they give actual information as to how the game will work, anyway.

 

Wait we must. The dark side strong grow it will if bethaseda fuck upp this.

 

They did.

 

If Fallout 3 is a real-time FPS, it isn't Fallout 3. It's a FPS with Fallout slapped on the front cover.

 

Well, there was Fallout: Enforcer which was BG: Dark Alliance with the Fallout logo slapped on the front cover. And BG: Dark Alliance was a generic H&S with BG slapped on the cover...

 

Do you have a link that backs this up? God, I hope it's not true.

But even if it is, I'll probably still get it once it comes out. It's not impossible to make a game with the same Fallout feel as the first two games, but as an FPS. It worked for Metroid Prime.

 

Unless I've missed something, all they've confirmed is that Fallout 3 will be "using technology that we're developing". As Bethsoft is also currently working on Elder Scrolls 4, the assumption is that FO3 will be using THAT technology, and will be a FPS. Additionally, they have said that FO3 will be released for console as well, which is seldom a good sign.

Fuck Bethesda...I say we start a smear campaign against them if it turns out they will be royally fucking the Fallout universe up.
