Interesting Fallout 3 interview without blowjobs

[TalesfromtheCrypt]

This was posted by NMA yesterday or so, a interview with Bethesdas Pete Hines at Joergspielt.de . The interview doesnt contain anything new and most of it is rather standard, but two excerpts are quite funny.
While Hines spoutes his usual bullshit as always, the interviewer doesn't quite play along with the show all the time and asks those interesting questions:

Jörg: Why did you choose to do the game in 3D? Was is just inevitable considering you’ve done Oblivion before that?

Pete Hines: [blah blah blah immershun thru grafix, grafix thru todd]

Jörg: But what if the old Fallout fans do not like it? Won’t they look for the isometric top-down-view instead of Gears of War?

Pete Hines: There are lots of Fallout fans. I’m a Fallout fan! [I really loled for several minutes here] I am personally interested in another game set in that universe, that is true to the kind of game experience that the first two titles provided! I’m not married to the perspective, I’m not married to whether combat is turn based or real time or a sort of hybrid. If you’re someone that believes it has to be isometric and turn based, then you’ll probably be unhappy. But if you’re interested in another game in that great, rich universe, that has great texture and tone and characters, then hopefully Fallout 3 will be something which will resonate with you. At the end of the day, we can’t make a game that’s all things to all people.

Jörg: And of course you want to sell some numbers which would hardly be possible with an old school tactical game. [Would have loved to see Pete's face in this moment]

Pete Hines: Probably not. But we really felt 3D was the best thing to go for, was the best for the Fallout experience. Because I’m really in this world, I’m really doing this, instead of just looking at those characters down there.

*sigh* Is the fundamental concept of RPG really so difficult to understand?

But if you’re interested in another game in that great, rich universe, that has great textures and bump mapping and bloom, then hopefully Fallout 3 will be something which will resonate with you.

Fixed.

 

[Section8]

I'm glad Bethesda are here to rethink outdated concepts like "Simulation" and "RPG". I'm off to go roleplay a corporate little piglet with Capitalism 2.

If you'd like bethesda to understand what is a rpg game and what is a fuckin oblivion larp simulator then I'm afraid you're asking for too much.

You sir are a fucking liar. NOBODY! ever wants to see Pete Hines face.

 

[Black]

Why not?

 

[Cimmerian Nights]

I feel like Brad Pitt the more I see his pictures.

 

[Jedi_Learner]

That image is scary. I hope I don't have nightmares tonight.

 

[Admiral Rimjob POOBUM]

Shouldn't he be the one behind?

 

[whitemithrandir]

Why not?

Oh....








shit....

Today is your lucky day:

 

[Black]

WHY DID YOU DO THAT?! 1 was enough! My poor, useless eyes! :<

 

[Zomg]

I think he's one of those people that opens his mouth slightly and then rests his upper teeth against his lip to smile. Why would you do this thing, sir? Why?

 

[Texas Red]

When hes not smiling then he looks fine, but there is something wrong when he does

 

[GuiltyBystander]

Ze goggles, zey do nothing!

 

[Higher Game]

He looks like a troll. Someone make him green.

 

[Archaeon]

Hines' smile inflicts a critical hit to the eyes against Archaeon, 5 mini-nukes are dropped upon his eyes thus leaving him blind.
Archaeon has died.

 

[HanoverF]

He has to be putting on a goofy face for that photo, doesn't he?

 

[Admiral Rimjob POOBUM]

Nope.

 

[Black]

That's pretty hot I must say...

Why, thank you my dear man!

 

[Hümmelgümpf]

That's pretty hot I must say...

You're a sick man.

Pete Hines: [blah blah blah immershun thru grafix, grafix thru todd]

Immersion is what graphics are for. It doesn't necessarily mean you have to screw gameplay, though this seems to be Bethesda's tendency.

 

[JarlFrank]

Pete likes to play Fallout with an Int 1 Character, because else he would not get what the dialogue means.

Also, his favourite character from Fallout was Torr from FO2. They have so much in common.
