Hines on Fallout 3 E3 press response: "I think we're pretty pleased"

PwnShop - 517 days 17 hours ago

I'm really impressed, we've both played oblivion and know that oblivion's fun runs much deeper than initial impressions. The video demo's i was too impressed by, but i've been listening to podcasts from 1up and ign about the Fallout demo and they say that it was amazing, and that in half an hour each of them had a totally different and amazing experience they took away, and they had that within just one hour, oh and the extreme violence isnt neccesary its just a perk your character can get if you want to see extreme gore and dismemberment.

i didn't like how when the guy used the sniper rifle and shot someone in the head, the whole body exploded.

other than that, i can't wait. it'll be my first Fallout game so i'm hoping it'll be better than Oblivion (hated that game).

I don't know how they should have made the V.A.T.S system in another way... I think they managed to get the old fallout style and the new 3D setup very well together.

Anyhow after fallout 3 is done I would love for bethesda to make an MMORPG and as it's thier first one Blizzard could help em do it. That result would be unbeliveable.

Everyone was going crazy for it but the game graphics look like crap. The animation was lame and just didn't draw me in. But hey to each his own and that's my opinion.

is a ode to the older games. You don't have to use vats at all and can play the whole game as a 1st person shooter.

Comparing Fallout 3 to Haze and Lair is the dumbest thing I have ever heard.

Fallout has just a wee bit, ok tons more depth to it than Haze and Lair combined.

I agree, i miss the old look and feel of the games but as MK Red once told me "Enjoy it for what it is a PAFPS(Post Appocolyptic First Person Shooter), it'll still be great just different." Or something like that lol

Thanks Relcom :)
Most of us did enjoy the first spin-off, Fallout Tactics. This game is in its heart, just another spin-off. Fallout FPS! A Post Nuclear First Person Shooter. Fallout 3 was Van Buren and is now gone.

I agree, I dont understand the blow up with the sniper shot.

I dont think your supposed to be impressed with pausing, its just another way to play that in some ways apparently pays homage to the original turn based game.

Shooting teddy bears, yeah I dont get the appeal of that either but I guess people like to throw crp around

I dont really see any false hype, I think people have a legitimate reason to be hyped about this game (open world shooter not unlike Daggerfall, Morrowind or Oblivion). For me I just wasnt as excited by this first look as I thought I would be. Other games have wet my appetite better, but it was only a first look and its possible that this game will quench my game hunger better then all the ones that had that sweet first taste. Only time will tell. I am looking forward to playing the game to find out.

BTW, How does it copy bioshock, exactly?

The whole "shooting the guy in the head and his whole body blows up" thing is the result of a perk you can add to your character to increase the amount of gore to ridiculous levels. It's called the Bloody Mess perk, and it's completely optional.

The V.A.T.S. system is completely optional. If you want, you can go through and just manually free aim your way through the game like a standard shooter.
