Fallout 3: CVG Preview - 'It's that bloody good'

CVG writes: "Following up the astounding Oblivion is going to be hard work for the Bethesda Softworks crew, but after getting our hands on Fallout 3 we're convinced that the dev's science fiction fuelled follow-up and third in the seminal series is going to blow Oblivion clear out of the water. It's that bloody good."

MK Red had something :) This game moved up my list of games i wanna play for 2008.

MK_Red5955d ago

Glad to hear :)
"2008's game of the year?" Hopefully.

Gamingisfornerds5954d ago (Edited 5954d ago )

Though if GTA IV turns out to be what I hope for, it will probably have to settle for 2nd place. ;)

But yeah, bring it on Bethesda!

SolidSnake935954d ago

Why are so many good games releasing in 08?

MK_Red5955d ago

Good catch.
Hopefully it's CVG/PSW's error/typo and not Bethesda's.

Ridrick5955d ago

Yeah, its Pip Boy.

Could be worse, ie Pimp Boy. LOL

Genki5955d ago

but I hope it's not too much like Obliv.

I loved Obliv, but I"m not looking for it in a different coat of paint. While I admittedly haven't played the other Fallout games, I know that they're a pretty far cry from this latest installment(besides the new devs).

Either way though, Bethesda knows what the hell they're doing, so I'm looking forward to a very deep and engrossing experience.

CNIVEK5955d ago

I noticed you insisted on abbreviating Oblivion, while typing out everything else. Is there a reason for this, or just a strange quirk of yours. Oddly enough, most people refer to Bethesda Softworks as simply "Beth". I'm not busting balls, mind you....just curious. :/

Genki5955d ago

Just personal preference, really. There's no particularly profound reason, I call it "Obliv" around those who know what I'm talking about usually.

Similar to Starcraft. Around vets and others that play, we call Zerglings "lings", Hydralisks "hydras", Marines "rines", Zealots "Zlots", and so on.

Not something I give too much thought, I just do it.

MK_Red5955d ago

"Either way though, Bethesda knows what the hell they're doing"
I hope so because if they screw up Fallout 3 or make it anything less than a grand RPG worthy of it's name, I'll personally nuke Beth offices or will usethe Slayer perk and turn them all to bloody pulp by my bare hands.

TheXgamerLive5955d ago

It's about time I befriended some mutants:))

I think it's going to be an awesome play, Bethesda puts a hell of a lot of work into there titles.

Fallot 3 may actually cause me to go and get a few booster shots, HA HA !!

MK_Red5955d ago (Edited 5955d ago )

I REALLY hope they remove the 20 level cap. I hate level caps. In Fallout 2 I could level up to 99 and continue.

Looking Back At 2008, An Unbelievably Incredible Year Of Video Game Releases

Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."

ChasterMies20d ago

Some of these low paid video game “news” writers weren’t born before 2007.

just_looken20d ago

Here here

Those that were around before 2000's i am sure are like me that think we entered a world of non readers or those that follow without question.

I can not wait to see fallout 3 a goty game even though it was about water with non content until you add the dlc/updates then you got the performance/crashing

CrimsonWing6920d ago

I don’t think anything can compare to 2023

lucasnooker20d ago

1998 - the best year in gaming! Metal gear solid, crash bandicoot 3, medievil, half life, ocarina of time, thief, tenchu, resident evil 2, Spyro, tomb raider 3, oddworld abes exodus, banjo kazooie.

It was a different breed of a gaming era. You’ll never understand what it was like back then. The aura of gaming, it was different!

KyRo20d ago (Edited 20d ago )

I second this. Gaming was a lot more varied and fun than it is today. I'm 35 so getting on compared to some here but I got to see all the changes from NES up to now but I've never felt so disappointed in any generation than I have this current gen. I was expecting more from this generation rather than prettier versions of games that came before it. Game mechanics have become so refined that alot of games feel the same and has done for a while now.

Maybe it's time to have a break for a while. I love gaming but I don't feel I get much fun in the traditional sense out of it anymore.

CrimsonWing6920d ago (Edited 20d ago )

Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Abe’s Exodus, and Ocarina of Time are the only things from that list that I liked.

Here’s the 2023 game releases that I personally liked… and big releases that I didn’t care for:

- Dead Space Remake
- Wo Long Dynatsy
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Diablo 4
- Fire Emblem Engage
- Hogwarts Legcay
- Street Fighter 6
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Like a Dragon: Ishin
- Octopath Traveler 2
- Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters
- Final Fanatsy XVI (actually ended up not liking this, but it was still a big deal release)
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
- Lies of P
- Mortal Kombat 1
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Starfield (Ended up hating this one, but big release)
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (I’m an old-school Zelda fan, but didn’t really enjoy this game)
- Alan Wake 2

I mean, honestly I’ve never seen a year of major IP releases like that, ever.

Profchaos20d ago (Edited 20d ago )

Isn't it just a generational thing realistically.

I've been gaming since way back and I some of my favourite games go as far back as the late 80s for me each generation has a year or two of game changing releases one after another before an inevitable dry spell.

I kind of agree gaming had a different feel games hit different because we didn't have the internet nothing got spoiled and you really had to put in the effort to beat a puzzle which could set entire groups of people looking for a solution. But most importantly games were experimental and not as cookie cutter as today even basics like controls were not universal today r2 is shoot l2 is ads garunteed you can't deviate from that in a shooter back then it could of been square, R1 or R1 and circle nothing was standard.

But as time moves on a new generation picks up their controller they are going to be interested in different things that PS1 demo disc with the t Rex blew our primitive 16 bit brains back on launch but to kids today it's laughable.
The new gen of kids coming into to hobby seem to value different things to us there seems to be a huge focus on online play, streamers, gaming personalities, and social experiences, convience of digital downloads. To me I value none of that but that's ok like my parents not liking the band's I would listen to its just the natural cycle.

Gameseeker_Frampt20d ago

Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.

2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.

just_looken20d ago

It still amazes me we got over 7 rockstar games ps2/ps3 but 3 for the ps3/ps4/ps5

Dragon age 1-3 and mass effect 1-3 in 7ish years what a generation.

Now is the Best Time to Get This Incredible RPG Bundle on Steam

If you are looking for an awesome RPG, look no further. Steam is offering a significant discount on its Fallout Franchise Bundle.

SimpleSlave21d ago

"You can get all Fallout games in a bundle at a significant 20% discount on Steam. Individually, all these games add up to $244.91. With the discount, you can get them all for $195.91. That is $49 less than the original price. Quite a significant discount for such a popular franchise."

😊 😂 🤣 😐 - But why?

Just wait for a sale and get most if not all of it for a fraction of that price.

20% off...lol

Tacoboto21d ago

The games were just on a real sale over the last week or two for the show promotion. Fallout 4 was $10, 3 was $5, NV was cheap as heck too.

So what the heck is this

Inverno21d ago

The original games have been given out for free by Amazon for GOG and Epic, 76 is free now on Amazon if you have prime, Epic has also given out new Vegas for free and 4 has gone down to pretty cheap prices. 194 bucks is a total ripoff when you can get these games individually for less. Don't forget cd keys might sell em for a dollar less at times too. Come on man, us cheapskates won't touch anything near or above 100 lolz

isarai21d ago

Bro that's a ridiculous ripoff are you kidding me? 🤣
