Seems like Fallout 3 teaser is out tomorrow.

Fallout is a critically-acclaimed computer role-playing game produced by Tim Cain and published by Interplay in 1997. Although set in the late 22nd century, its story and artwork are heavily influenced by the post-World War II nuclear paranoia of the 1950s. The game is sometimes considered to be an unofficial sequel to Wasteland, but it could not use that title as Electronic Arts held the rights to it, and, except for minor references, the games are set in separate universes. It was also intended to use Steve Jackson Games's GURPS system, but that deal fell through, supposedly when Steve Jackson realized how violent the game was. A sequel, Fallout 2, was released in 1998.

Fallout is #1 in my list of favourite games and I'm looking forward to seeing what Bethesda - the new developer of the series - has done so far. Fallout is a rare case in gaming industry, which would keep outdoing many other game titles by atmosphere for many years after release. I didn't enjoy any modern game more than Fallout, which was first released in 1996.

The first details on Bethesda's Fallout 3 have emerged from the latest issue of US Game Informer magazine.

The long-awaited sequel runs on an evolved version of the Oblivion engine, although Bethesda says it's reworked the third-person view because of negative feedback from its last role-player.

Fallout 3 kicks off with your birth and your mother's death in a vault hospital. This is where you get to create you character as your father (voiced by Liam Neeson) hands you over to the DNA analyser, before removing his mask to reveal similar traits to the ones you picked.

According to Game Informer, the battle system in Fallout 3 is called the Vault-tec Assisted Targeting System (V.A.T.S.). You'll certainly be able to tackle enemies in real-time using first-person shooting, the article says, but V.A.T.S. lets you pause time and select a target at your leisure.

This works using action points, which when used up will leave you with only real-time fighting until they charge back up again. If you're not in to all-out killing, Bethesda says you'll also be able to play through the game by being stealthy, or even talking your way out of trouble.

Enemies can target you using the exact same targeting system, so you'll get injured in very specifics points on your body. In addition to this is a new health and radiation system, which lets you measure how radiated water and other consumables are before you use them.

Fans will be pleased to hear that the Karma system is making a return, and there are 9-12 possible endings based on your actions. If it's even half as good as Oblivion, this should turn out to be something very special indeed.

Half as popular my arse, it would blow it out of the water.

maybe people are sceptical about it though

My brother played first ones, I'm aware they're amazing but never played them. xD

[Mr. Tastix]

I wanna get the first two games myself. But Fallout 3 looks so fucking wicked.

[-TheSpecialist-]

Fallout 2 is soo archaic that it was a chore to actually even get past the first town.

[Dae]

With high resolution it's hard indeed, it was made for 800x600

but its a great game when you get a bit used to it

[Mr. Tastix]

I plan on buying when I get the chance and if I can find someone selling it lol.

[Dae]

As a diehard Fallout fan, I'm not impressed

[xProtocol Rain]

I played the 1st two. Got pretty far in them then I just stopped. They were fun.

I'd like you to prove that.

[xProtocol Rain]

....Why do I need to prove it? Personally I don't give a rats ass if you don't believe I played a certain "video game".

[James]

Nice outburst.

[xProtocol Rain]

Indeed, it was...... I'm just saying man.

[James]

Yes there is a rest option in the originals but COME ON THIS IS THE EXACT SAME AS OBLIVIONS

[Tantalus]

Based on the same engine, made by the same people...

Come on; if it ain't broke-

If it works don't change it?


But apparently one can be interrupted by attackers.

[James]

This is stupid.

You're stupid.

[Tantalus]

This is stupid.

You're stupid.

Were you expecting a complete overhaul?

[Mastakilla]

It looks awesome in my opinion, I'm a big STALKER fan and this should be way better, right?
