Over 500 Different Endings For Fallout 3?

Bethesda's Pete Hines speaks with TVG about the upcoming Fallout 3. It makes for a quite interesting read, particularly regarding the factors that affect the end game, where Hines shares with us that they are nudging past 500 different variations you could experience in the 20-100 hours of gamplay. "(The) number of variations is over 500, but that's of all the different permutations you can have of each different variable and what you did at each point. I don't know how many of those there are (I haven't gone back to look), but it takes into account any number of things you've done from early in the game, right up to when the game ends - it takes into account all of that stuff," says Hines.

But BS! really 500 endings, and this can fit on a DVD?

games4fun5773d ago

this is not the Rpg i am looking forward too unless I read some fantastic reviews, then i'll rent it and see how it is. I just cant play an Rpg that involves aiming guns, its always not accurate or i'm headshoting a guy and wondering why he isnt dead then it explains i only have a level 1 sniper rifle and need to get a level 5 sniper rifle or something along those lines. I may buy it later but my money needs to be saved for LBP and R2. I'll get my rpg fix from WKC.

For some reason i dont mind an rpg telling me my sword needs to be better but telling me my gun does?

ThatCanadianGuy5773d ago

Seriously! sounds pretty BS..

I can see like maybe 20-30.. but 500? i doubt it.

mepsipax5773d ago

I don't care if it has 500 different endings, unless they all have quality put in them and aren't extremely easy to get to, please Bethesdsa make this good, all you do is throw numbers at my, "10 times more dialogue than fallout" "100's of different weapons" "kilometers and kilometers of land" I don't care, stop hyping these technical aspects and tell me how the game is going to feel.

RealityCheck5773d ago

I agree, I would take one or two great endings with great cinematics and with great character and story involvement over several hundreds shallow endings with generic dialog and generic animation.

XxZxX5773d ago (Edited 5773d ago )

it is possible.. back in the old day, they can have lot of ending, simply LAME TEXT ENDING.

CONGRATULATION YOU SAVE THE PRESIDENT. YOU'RE THE MAN!!! GAME OVER

ALL YOUR BASE BELONG TO US!!! GAME OVER

pwnsause5773d ago

Chrono trigger had over 10, and that game was one of the greatest game ever made.

slave2Dcontroller5773d ago

a WHOLE Dollar Bill to the first person to get ALL 500 endings.

Gangsta Krizzab5773d ago

He'll probably be dead by brain suffocation for wasting time on possibly short 500 endings or have a stroke after the 500th one.

How about you actually SHOW wtf you're talking about

Nacho_Z8d ago

Always annoying when articles do that.

I agree with them that the tv show was a bit on the clean side. They got loads right regarding set design etc but there's room for improvement.

gold_drake8d ago

i dont. it hurts my eyes. but im fairly ssensitive when it comes to that sort of stuff.

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."

ChasterMies32d ago

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

just_looken31d 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

CrimsonWing6932d ago

I don’t think anything can compare to 2023

lucasnooker32d 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!

KyRo32d ago (Edited 32d 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.

CrimsonWing6932d ago (Edited 32d 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.

Profchaos32d ago (Edited 32d 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_Frampt32d 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_looken31d 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.
