Development Info Bethesda inflate the Fallout 3 bubble

[Section8]

Tags: Bethesda Softworks; Fallout 3

Prepare thyselves, for Bethesda have finally done the unthinkable and... <gasp> ...released some teaser art that actually looks Fallout related. We're not quite sure how it happened, but our people are looking into it. Quickly friends! Run and <a href="http://fallout.bethsoft.com/index.html">see for yourselves</a>, while you still can! It's only 13 days before "war finally changes" and they rectify this horrendous error of judgement.

<blockquote>No Predators were harmed in the making of this teaser art. Actually... there was one. But it wasn't a real Predator. Just some big guy in a suit. If you're a college basketball coach in and around the Maryland area, and you know, your star player doesn't show up to training? Trust me, that has nothing to do with us.</blockquote>

[Baphomet]

Holy shit. That looks awesome. But will it have a soul?

 

[Quigs]

Now all I gotta do is wait for someone smarter to come along and tell everyone why the picture is nothing like fallout, because fallout had a ball gag.

 

[MisterStone]

Looks pretty neato to me. Like the dead supermutant (?) stretched out on the ground in front of those group photo (?) guys?

 

[sqeecoo]

I can already see elements of incredibly humorous humor that is a vital part of Fallout. Along with the bloody mess trait.

 

[Grafo]

I hope that's an indicator of the atmosphere of the game. At this point the only thing I'm hoping for is a post-apocalyptic shooter with decent gun physics and a plot that doesn't result in dead brain cells on account of stupidity.

 

[flabbyjack]

What would it look like if we loyal Fallout fans survived a nuclear holocaust and built a post-war settlement? NO MUTANTS -> NO FURRIES

 

[OccupatedVoid]

The still got the shitty music, though.

 

[The_Nameless_Prick]

Wow. I'm actually.....quite impressed with this picture.

We'll see, we'll see.

 

[JarlFrank]

Looks good. Looks really good. Like, the only fallouty artwork Bethesda made up to now. I hope most of the game got a similar style to this, as it looks good, and truly post-apoc in a fallouty and also wastelandy way.

 

[EliotW]

The still got the shitty music, though.

The music felt really out of place with that concept art.

 

[Brother None]

Like, the only fallouty artwork Bethesda made up to now.

Well, this and this one

 

[SimpleComplexity]

There is too much garbage in the pic, one simple man like me, doesnt know where to look at.

Ugh. Spotted a smiling bitch in the picture.

Ugh. Spotted a smiling bitch in the picture.

Ever read Do androids dream of electric sheep? Its called kipple. Its everywhere and it multiplies.

 

[denizsi]

Well, this and this one

No. What you see in that older pic is a raped Vault Boy. Raped and beheaded and his head mounted on a incompatible body.

 

[NoisyKillerHPB]

That picture looks quite rad.

 

[Mayday]

You're a bunch of retards hyping over a stupid picture.

God, this place feels like ESF.

 

[Zomg]

Good work gets praise.

 

[Amasius]

Hm, I'm don't really know what to think about the pic. It seems that Beth finally listend to the responses to the first pieces of teaser art and changed the style. They got some things right but it feels rushed. But meh, it's just <s>concept art</s> part of the hype.

 

[Mayday]

There's 50% chance all those pics were made before and they're just releasing them in intervals.

Besides, I don't think you know how concept art works. It's like: Beth approaches Craig and says: "Craig, paint us some CA for a post-apocalyptic game, will ya?" and he's like "Sure, whatever" so he goes and paints those.

Why the hell do you believe this will have such an impact on the spirit of the finished game? Clearly, you overestimate the value of one concept artist.

 

[Elwro]

Neat

 

[mr nobuddy]

wait, didn't bethe$da hire an outside firm to make the concept art for them?

 

[Mayday]

All the concept art on the main page is done by Craig Mullins, www.goodbrush.com

 

[Edward_R_Murrow]

You know what's funny? In the thread about the concept art I've seen more developer posts responding and carrying on a (personally) lame attempt at comedy than I've ever seen in anything gameplay. Great job guys. That's some hard work right there.

See the magic for yourself!

MSFD: Mullins made these pictures for us before Oblivion shipped.

That said, look at these notes on the images for amusement and quality sake.
