New Fallout 3 Info

For all those who find the shoulder mounted nuke of FO3 entirely bowel-spasmingly ABSURD, i give you: the NUCLEAR RECOILLESS RIFLE.

I think somebody else posted the Davy Crockett earlier, but when you consider that was made in the 1960’s and Fallout’s tech didn’t stop advancing till around 2077, what they showed in the demo hardly struck me as infeasible. Except from a survivability standpoint of course.

[Foxstab]

That’s supposed to be a power armor? Fugly…
Reminds me of the empirial clone army…

[quatoria]

Hahha, right on fucking cue. And talking about clone armies, too, for bonus ironic fun.

The helmet is about the closest it gets.
The rest of it appears as if it was rushed through and the artist barely gave it any texture and detailing effort.
Where’s the creativity? the imagination?

Also:

1. I’m not French, chuckle.
2. I’m happy I’ve instigated a short discussion in the matter, bit of mind burrowing always colors this place nice.
3. Even though I got flamed, the cynical sarcasm is deliciously appreciated, thanks for the amusement.
4. shatbonerz bruce! (what? IDK I felt like shoving it there)
5. Zeke’s definition is the one I usually go for - a game where one can learn its underlying mechanics to attain a greater understanding where the difference between a veteran and a novice becomes an unbridgeable gap of dominance for the former over the latter as well as own innate skills at reacting to the game, processing, analyzing and manipulating it which can render one a very competent and powerful player compared to others.
6. ???
7. PROFIT!

Reminds me of Cylons.

So Bethesda is making a FPS to court the DOOM clone lovers.

Yes, yes, DOOM obviously had dialog trees, branching storylines, stats, inventory screens, assembling weapons from things you find, companions, etc, etc. You’re so stupid it makes my brain hurt.

That “shotgun” they have looks like a Soviet submachine gun:

Looks more like the modern Italian assault shotgun but with a drum magazine: http://world.guns.ru/shotgun/sh25-e.htm

Hardcore is muds and text based adventure games. Everything else is a graphical reach around for newfags who can’t be bothered to learn what in tarnation they’re typing! Why, back in my day, spelling a word wrong could mean instant death at the hands of unseen foes!

GUIs, hah, more like LOSERUIs.

There’s nothing to say that FPS is restricted from including these things.
It sure hasn’t stopped Half Life in its tracks and I doubt it has been the reason of System Shock’s lack of financial success.
However, the way Todd put it things sure sound as though they’re courting the (brainless shooting section of) FPS crowd rather than the action/RPG crowd.
P.S. If memory serves me right, I believe the only real companion you get in there is dogmeat because they didn’t have room in the schedule to develop the team section and teammate AI.
As far as assembling weapons from things you find…we all know better than that.

zen, I think you’re onto something here…

Aeon, good point. Damnation unto ye all for using windows. Go back to unix command prompt!
REAL MEN DO IT IN FORTRAN!

Hey hey, as a purist fps fan, i have to say: let’s remember what means FPS. It’s not an arbitrary name. FIRST PERSON SHOOTER. If you shooting in first person is not the main activity in the game, then it’s not a fps. It will be a FPS/‘another thing’, or perhaps it’s another genre but with first person perspective, or whatever.

[Foxstab]

You win.
No, there was never a doubt.

[Roy_Ziegler]

what a guy!
