[Vault Dweller]

Tags: Bethesda Softworks; Fallout 3

Here is another trendy audio interview, featuring <b>Pete Hines</b>, aka The Smooth Talker:
<br>
<br>
<blockquote><b>Gaming Steve</b>: Let's get to a few other quick things that Bethesda is working on. Because you guys are doing two of the greatest licenses of all time. Fallout 3, which I know everyone is so excited about.
<br>
<b>Pete Hines</b>: As are we.
<br>
<b>GS</b>: Anything we're going to see? Are we going to see something at E3 maybe?
<br>
<b>PH</b>: Nope.
<br>
<b>GS</b>: Nope?
<br>
<b>PH</b>: Nope.
<br>
<b>GS</b>: Nothing...?
<br>
<b>PH</b>: Mum's the word for a while. We don't believe in...y'know, if we had our choice we probably wouldn't have said anything about it yet. You know, much like Oblivion were we didn't...y'know, we had been working on it for quite a while before we ever said "hey, here's what we're doing and here's some screenshots." like this with a game of psych, y'know, here's...So, y'know, we're treating Fallout with the same sort of...with the same sort of approach that, y'know, this is our franchise and we're acting as if, y'know, we made the first two games, like this is, y'know, we spend a certain amount of time, we spent a lot of effort in pre-production and in making sure we know how systems work and we're not in a hurry to just quick get this game out the door, like, it needs the appropriate amount of time and attention and once we get it to a point where we have some things we could show and show folks what we're up to, we'll certainly let everybody know, but that time is not now.</blockquote>Spending time making sure you know how the systems work? Uhm, ok, just make sure you also spend time, y'know, like, making sure you don't fuck up the game's world.*

Requirement for Smooth Talker is INT >= 4

 

[Vault Dweller]

Pete is obviously cheating.

 

[FrancoTAU]

This is probably in their best interest. They shouldn't mention shit about this game till a couple months before release. Fallout 3 will have the worst buzz going into a release if Betheseda straight up tells us how it will be First Person Real Time and be dumbed down with Wiki Dialogue, Quest Compasses, etc.

A couple months of people shitting on their baby > 2 years of people constantly shitting on their game. As shitty as Oblivion has sounded, they at least have a huge amount of fanboys who'll defend it no matter what. OTOH, Fallout fanboys will be the ones leading the attack in this case.

the only funny thing i found in that interview was near the end when he goes (roughly) "elder scrolls is where we live. we birthed it, it's our baby, we aren't gonna abandon it after 4 games errr 5". and...ye

 

[geminito]

This site is shameless and your opinions are not surprising.

 

[LlamaGod]

thats a pretty shitty interview, y'know.

Oy!

That was a bitch to transcribe, what with bursting into a fit of laughter every other sentence.

You forgot to link to the interview, though, people might think it is the New Gaming Radio interview (now also transcribed on NMA, though less literally as I couldn't bear the thought of doing that again)

 

[kingcomrade]

Well, I'm looking forward to it. I don't have a dog in the Oblivion fight, really, since I never planned on buying it. Fallout 3 is probably going to give me an aneurysm.

 

[Gwendo]

Well, y'know, at least they're spending somw time to understand the system. Since they won't understand it in time for the e3, they might consider to, y'know, like dumb it down a little to make it easier to understand.

 

[rpgmaniac]

Oh please its called "we have no friggin clue what we're going to do with it yet SHIT we only JUST found the 1st other vault in FO! Give us a chance to see some more of its beauty before we rape it!"

And whats with all the avoiding words? Did he hit his head and loose all his vocabulary? CHRIST if this was my main PR guy i'd seriously reconsider even having PR.

LOL i loved the "its not martial arts its hand to hand just because"...just because what? JUST BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE A WEAPON? JUST BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE A CLUE WHAT YOU'RE DOING?

 

[Claw]

Requirement for Smooth Talker is INT >= 4

I read you just need to take some mentats before picking a perk to get around it. Never tried that myself, though.

 

[Vault Dweller]

Thanks. I knew I forgot something.

 

[bryce777]

He talks like an 8 year old with ADD. They better make his sorry ass stick to the teleprompter from now on.

 

[Levski 1912]

You're doing a heck of a job, Pete.*

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.

I thought you were optimistic about Beth & FO3?

 

[Chefe]

Fuck Pete Hines. Fuck him up his stupid ass. If I ever met that shiteating cocksucker in real life, I would rip his fucking throat out with a rusty fork and feast on his eyeballs.

If I ever met him in fake life, I would ask him nicely to stop. But thank god we don't live in that shitty ass fake life, so I can still go hannibal lecter on his stupid fucking ass.

[Uz0rnaem]

A girl died in 1933 by a homicidal murderer. He buried her in the ground when she was still alive. The murdered chanted, "Toma sota balcu" as he buried her. Now that you have read the chant, you will meet this little girl. In the middle of the night she will be on your ceiling. She will suffocate you like she was suffocated. If you post this, she will not bother you. Your kindness will be rewarded.
