Game footage from upcoming FPS Fallout 3

[Black]

And regarding the game as a FPS, show me one that is as open world as FO3 is supposed to be!

Oblivion.
It was a First-Person Stabber. Same deal.

Or first-person slasher- oh the choices!
And consequences.

Oblivion had more choices than that. You could smash things too. We have to be objective here.

There wasn't any stabbing in Oblivion. They left out thrusting animations so that the tipless weapons wouldn't look stupider than the tipped ones while using the same exact animations. And of course since they left out spears they didn't need them

Yeah that's right. I almost forgot about that. So Oblivion is First-Person smasher/slasher. This really sounds stupid, but somehow it fits with Oblivion.

It's pretty sad that they butchered Fallout so they could make an FPS game that isn't even very good. This is atrocious.

Haha, did anyone else notice they even used the exact same wind sounds from Oblivion? Listen closely to the sound of wind rustling through trees, while there are no trees present.

Heh, neat.

Actually, i don't think its sad, for me atleast, i more feel like expressing a "duh" instead of a . If Bethesda actually did try and make a nice Fallout sequel and then obviously failed, that would be sad, it really would.

You can shoot with bows and spells as well, so technically it's a First Person Smasher/Slasher/Shooter with RPG elements. Say it without pronouncing the /s.

Actually, with Oblivion comes the necessity to create a new genre... The FPG: First Person Game.

For games which include elements of 2 or more genres, none of which stand out on their own, none of which are very good and which, when combined still fucking suck but ultimately produce an end result that can be described (unequivocally) as a GAME. In first person.

It's honest, folks.

All hail Bethesda, the King of FPGs.

You know what? I think you guys just want to hate this game ! I've never played FO and FO2 and I admit that I came from the FPS side to the FPS/RPG hybrids

Then what the fuck are you doing here?

Well, I'm here because I played Bloodlines and I'm involved even a bit more with it . I think it is regarded as quite a good RPG/FPS hybrid so why couldn't FO3 be similar? Of course it could end up a mess, but Bloodlines showed that a combination of FPS and RPG is indeed possible!

I don't know if it's just because I'm sleepy but that post seems very funny to me.

EDIT: Damn post ninjas.

Oblivion is definitely a FPLS (first person larping simulator). It was intended for people who are so socially repugnant that they can't even get other real nerds to LARP with them. Kind of like second life, without the scariness of other real people.

Wait, you've been working on this game for such a long time, and actually don't know everyone HATES the combat portions of the game? I'm pretty sure most gamers endured the combat because the rest of the game was so good. Put another way, if you released a new alternate mod that converted the game into a well balanced turn based iso version of the same game, people would consider you a god, and the game would probably jump to the top 5 list of most posters here.

Bloodlines was developed by Troika and it shows. Oblivion was developed by Bethesda and it shows.

Another question: why don't you just download both of FOs and play them? Most people here would give away their souls to play FOs without memory.

 

[racofer]

What others have said is true. You had more choices in oblivion, like smashing skulls with blunt weapons, such as axes.

There were games before Bloodlines that tried that and succeeded. I ll just mention Deus Ex and System Shock. The first game I remember that tried something similar was Cybermage from 1995. It was more of FPS, but it tried to combine other genres and even RPG elements. Media spit shit on it and raised Dukem Nukem into heaven, but for me it was the best FPS I have ever played even until today.

You had better be able to turn that VATS shot mode off. I'm sick of it already. Of course knowing Bethesda (and their fanboys) I can already guess what the answer will be: "If you don't like it then just use real time. VATS is optional you know."

 

[Texas Red]

If they could do VATS, then why not simply go full turn based?

 

[Xor]

Because their target audience hates turn-based games.

I love the way you say that, like implying that turn-based is difficult.

That all wouldn't be necessary. Apart from the fact it already is in my top 5 just for the quality of writing, all I would really want is a cleaned-up end game and balanced combat.

Is that what that shit is called? VATS? I haven't been reading up on the game mechanics or anything, just laughing at screenshots and now this video. But yeah that's what I alluded to earlier, those automated shooting scenes looked insanely repetitive. At least use different fucking camera angles or something.

I love FO. I hate FO fans.

R00fles!

Agreed.
