[Mister Arkham]

I'm getting a little annoyed that we're less than six months from release on this and there hasn't been any in-game footage yet. I mean, I know that it's going to look and move pretty much just like Fallout 3 did, but using the same six or seven screenshots in everything at this stage is kind of silly.

This is also just about the creepiest fucking video I can imagine gaming media producing. Feargus' mug, looming in close-up with a harsh lighting scheme, shot in black and white? Who the crap made that call?

 

[Clockwork Knight]

Probably to symbolize the "dark humor".

 

[StrangeCase]

"So we're going to be funnier than Bethesda, not that it's an insult, mind you, it's just different styles, but we'll have more humor, but not too much humor, like, just enough humor, so it's believable, so not like Monty Python, although they're very funny, but that's not what we're aiming for, which is to be more like Fallout 3, but with our own style of humor, which isn't better than Bethesda's, they've done an awesome job, but more in line with our vision, which is like Dinky the Dinosaur."

Is that really in the interview? Can't be bothered to watch it, even if with the prospect of seeing Feargus' cheeky cheeks.

4 minutes of talking and saying nothing.

BTW, the intro to NV is mind numbingly boring.

 

[Konjad]

fo3 already has great quantity of humor. Whole game is a joke

Pretty much, but said at x2 the speed. As an example of what he's aiming at, he mentioned turning Dinky the Dinosaur's mouth into a sniper nest (which he says later in the interview and is shown in a screenshot in the video). Terrible video, though, and the interviewer just grunted through most of it.

Of a pretty dark variety, as codexians will testify.
