Game News Todd Howard on Fallout 3

[Diogo Ribeiro]

Yes, Briosafreak can't spell "loser". He's a Belgian, though, and their national language is something like Swahili, not English.

He's portuguese, dumbnuts.

 

[Araanor]

Oh yeah, take note that if this game does indeed turn out to suck, I won't be buying it nor will I be recommending it to anyone. Until then, I don't see the point in bashing Bethesda's hypothetical head in based on some stupid assumptions.

I don't agree with the more violent members of the fanbase, but whatever, as long as it gets the point across. As they go further into the development of the game, it'll get harder and harder to make changes of this scale. Now is probably better than any later time to speak up.

Re: Do the questions have to be factual?

Kathode know what he doing.

For great justice. Take off every zig.

You know what you doing, take off every zig.

Move zig. Move zig. Move zig. Take off every zig.

@plin

I`ve already explained why you`re a whining fanboy, mulefucker.

 

[Sammael]

Hmmm. Somebody's very bitter. What'd I miss?

BTW, even on the rare occasions when Feargus does take responsibility, it looks half-assed.

@plin

Nah, you didn't. You've already displayed your ability to throw out lame insults though. I'll quote you and write this again. Retort it bitch.

plin i was telling you that your fanboysm was getting you to a point that you had lost the contact with reality, seeing how Bethesda was in grave danger, in your paranoid head. Until now you`ve only proved that i was right, and you are a bigger shitface molescule than i thought.

What are you talking about? Are you saying that I'm a fan of bethesda? Because I take a neutral stand point and make fun of people who judge and assume off of half-assed information (and give almost nothing but shit to the developers, and try to to influence your stupid little mob of idiots at your sites and use the excuse that you're a scarred fan because you've been fucked over? Listen kid, all the fans have been fucked over, but not all of us are whiny bitches about it)? If so, I'm proud of my "fanboyism" (logic).

 

[Briosafreak]

Look turdface, if someone starts whining about the sky falling off because some meanies are attacking with no grounds one development house, and that story doesn`t fit with the reality, then it`s usually fanboysm. But you might be right, i`ll concede on that, it might only be stupidity and the wish to stand out and cry your pain because you were gangbanged by your familly when you were young and now feel ashamed that you liked it.

The one beeing a whiny bitch in the first place was you, so go milk your momma kid, and leave this to the grown ups ok?

 

[mr. lamat]

only six year-olds use the term 'turdface'.

some of take a wait and see approach to the game. if fallout3 is good, i'll spend a few nights straight playing it. if it sucks, i'll turn it off and bang the grrlfriend. it's a hit and miss industry and it's varied as well. maybe bethesda will do something great, or maybe i'll just have to play a different game instead. it's no big loss in my life, or your's either, if you want to look at the situation rationally... but it seems like we're a little beyond that point.

Oh, so your stance is neutral. At least have the decency to be honest. Yes I'm pessimistic, and perhaps even an asshole at times, but at least I'm honest about. Your blatant lies and your unwillingness to draw or assume logical conclusions gives you a lack of any credability. If you're not a fanboy then you're just a hard-headed ignoramous.

 

[Briosafreak]

Damn i wanted to use the ignoramious insult...and Lamat is a poopooface

 

[Sol Invictus]

You're just full of it lately aren't you Brios?

 

[Briosafreak]

You`re a poopooface too

I don't know. I consider Fallout to be one of the best CRPGs ever made. If Bethesda decides to totally revamp Fallout rather than perhaps update the graphics and tweak some of the game mechanics that were so-so, then I think we have lost something. We've basically lost an entire segment of the genre, only to gain a trumped up open form first person shooter with a character system.

 

[DarkUnderlord]

So Starcraft 2 will be first-person because it's more immersive and what gamers want? Diablo 3...?

Fun Factâ„¢: The best selling PC game of all time had what viewpoint? It's sequel, which was just released, has exactly the same viewpoint and is completely 3d, allowing you to rotate freely and zoom in for incredible close-ups.

 

[Whipporowill]

So Starcraft 2 will be first-person because it's more immersive and what gamers want? Diablo 3...?

Point in case - Star Craft Ghost.

 

[Sol Invictus]

StarCraft Ghost != Starcraft 2.

Take Whipporowill as an example - don't be a dimwit.

 

[Saint_Proverbius]

StarCraft Ghost != Starcraft 2.

Take Whipporowill as an example - don't be a dimwit.

He's saying that instead of Starcraft 2, they decided to make Starcraft Ghost. Dimwit.

 

[Sol Invictus]

Blizzard isn't making Starcraft Ghost, dummy. They actually outsourced that one. They have stated repeatedly that Ghost isn't supposed to be a replacement to Starcraft 2 and that game will go into development after WOW is completed.

So his argument sucks, and you missed the point.

 

[Whipporowill]

Blizzard isn't making Starcraft Ghost, dummy. They actually outsourced that one.

Then took it back and are delevoping it internally. Dimwit.

Also, it's not what the SC fans want. That's my point.

 

[Sol Invictus]

They didn't 'take it back'. They hired pretty much everyone who was developing it to work at Blizzard because Vivendi Universal wanted to keep things internal. Dimwit.

 

[Whipporowill]

Isn't that pretty much developing 'internally', dimwit?

Also heard that Blizz changed the direction of the game from pure sneakness - as implemented by Nihilistic, and that the game is closer to your standard fps. This isn't a game I'm following, but that's what I heard last.

 

[Sol Invictus]

My point... is that Ghost isn't a substitute to Starcraft 2, and never will be. This entire argument is moot.

 

[DarkUnderlord]

Also, it's not what the SC fans want. That's my point.

It's the X-Com series all over again.

 

[xemous]

sc fans dont want anything, they already got it all in sc
besides, the dudes that were responsible for starcraft left even before bill roper and the crew left, and with them gone its not even worth reading about

xna is really worrying me
if its implemented correctly every developer would be making console games porting them to pc

im just hoping m$ does what it does best, and fucks it up and its all buggy
http://www.microsoft.com/xna/
itll come with spyware and marketing adds as well and all that

i hope ati and nvidia stop supporting consoles, as if games are made core for the console, people will slowly migrate to the console, and there 3d cards on the pc will suffer, which is were they getting most sales from

i hope they realise this and not support the consoles

but with the rapid technololy released pc will quickly again outdate the consoles

but them, games like kotor still used shit graphics, so, time will tell..
