Game News New FO3 trailer

[DarkUnderlord]

Tags: Fallout 3

Bethesda have shown they can totally steal all the ideas out of the original Fallout <a href="http://www.gametrailers.com/player/36039.html">by releasing a new trailer for Fallout 3</a>. Start at TV, zoom out, see destroyed post-apocalyptic environment, see skeleton, come back over hill, see player. Sure, it's <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxSdbSNckTQ">precisely the same concept as the first trailer they released</a> (only without the music)... Still, it's better than all the horrible things they could've done to it.

Skeleton on the couch? Really?

 

[Ismaul]

My guess is this is the best FO3 has to offer. The story won't get more deep than that, and the less we see of the gameplay the better.

 

[Dark Matter]

Love the graphics.

Skeleton on the couch? Really?

Who cares? I don't see anyone complaining about there being a working TV in the middle of fucking nowhere playing a commercial. Oh right, cause FO1 had that too.

 

[Murk]

The carnage in f01 wasn't as bad as in that though, you could almost argue that the working TV made a tiny lick of sense as being in the 0.01% of shit that didn't get blasted to bits via nuke...

...but when the whole ceiling and the walls are gone, and a person is burned to the bone on a couch a few feet away...

...well fuck, a bit of a stretch no? It's like they took the formula but somehow messed up.

It looks like the couch/furniture was set up post-bombs dropping.

The song sucks too.

 

[Shannow]

Don't you just love those asbestos teddy bears? They really got that 50s vibe.
And i bet that's not a burnt skelleton but a nigger-skelleton.

 

[Murk]

Oh and of course, again with the big shoulder pads.

when did this shit happen? was it Tirbes? Was it unreal tournament?

When did it start?

 

[Dark Matter]

That's dumb. You make it sound like if the TV box itself is not destroyed, it can somehow magically play a commercial. I mean, let's forget about electricity, broadcasting and all that.

...well fuck, a bit of a stretch no? It's like they took the formula but somehow messed up.

Seriously, this shit is just pathetic and desperate.

 

[SimpleComplexity]

Needs more bloom.

I have nothing more to add.

 

[Fat Dragon]

When did it start?

Apparently before '97 because the Vault Dweller has a big shoulder pad in those cutscenes as well. I don't really see what the big deal with shoulder pads is.

 

[Edward_R_Murrow]

"Super Duper Mart"? That just screams lack of creativity on Bethesda's part in addition to this being the second time they've shown the only way they can "get" Fallout is by apeing the first one's intro movie.

haha, that's funny - this is the first time i've ever attacked fallout 3 on the codex, seriously - i actually made note to avoid doing that for how lame it was getting but i though this teaser was pretty trash

wtf are you defending it for?

 

[Murk]

yes! you're right, i remember a few images and a cutscene with him wearing a shoulder pad - i thought it was the leather armor though... i might be wrong, its been a while since i last saw 'em.

my confusion stems from why they're always HUGE, its like some weird new penis thing - big swords big shoulderpads and... ? big robot horse?

and it makes like wayyy less sense in fallout's context. the leather armor or jacket having a shoulder pad makes sense but vault suit + random metal one that covers one shoulder is... well, pointless?

Silly complaints are silly complaints. Or do we only acknowledge that fact when it's regarding a game the Codex likes from a developer they respect?

If the trailer is trash, it's precisely due to the reason mentioned by Edward_R_Murrow, not due to stupid shit like "burnt skeleton on a couch is unrealistic and unfeasible".

 

[Volourn]

I hate Bethesda; but this teaser is pretty good. Definitely FOish which is exactly what the Codex wants, right? Or has all the whining about 'Bethesda destroying their precious' was all bullshit?

 

[Murk]

right, 'cause i totally didn't say "It's like they took the formula but somehow messed up."

 

[sportforredneck]

Alright, how about this? Fuck a tv working in the middle of fucking nowhere. And fuck Fallout for having that too. And fuck Bethesda for just reusing the exact same ideas from older games. It's not a reference, it's just outright stealing.

 

[Volourn]

It's a sequel. I mean, FFS, FO2 basically stole FO1's plot. LMAO get the fuck ovwr the fact that it hevaily borrowed or 'stole' FO1's intro. It's a fuckin' teaser.

 

[Kortalh]

Oh and of course, again with the big shoulder pads.

when did this shit happen? was it Tirbes? Was it unreal tournament?

When did it start?

The 80s.

 

[Darth Roxor]

It's a fuckin' teaser.

 

[Mr. Teatime]

I liked it. Sorry if that's the wrong thing to say.

 

[thesheeep]

No, that's pretty okay.

What you see here is bashing for the sake of bashing.

If Bethesda does an own trailer, they suck for not copying.
If they do a FO1 and 2-like trailer, they suck for copying.

On the other hand, I, too, wonder how the TV is playing

Haha, yeah. I wonder if FO3 would 'suddenly' be announced to have isometric view, would lambs start yelling that Beth suck, 'cause they're copycats.

 

[Volrath]

Needs more bloom.

 

[Jasede]

If their exterior art direction and textures and whatnot resemble this it's pretty good; almost Stalker-grade. Doesn't mean the game isn't bad of course; damn console ego-shooter.
