Channel 3 features a VATS demo that very clearly shows gore damage to be location-specific.

Yeah, there is a ton of stuff on those channels. Though I couldn’t get #6 to do much.

Yeah, there were a few of them that either show you a static image and sit there for 5 minutes or my network connection was being weird. When I looked at the capital on the map channel, it didn’t do anything, and the robot one didn’t do anything either (after the movie).

It is a little weird to see “Farragut West Metro Station” as my location, though, since I got off there for work for a year or so.

Is anyone else disappointed that there is nothing if you go to the “7” button manually? (via address line)

The robot one shows an in-game video of the robot activating, going outside, and killing two belligerent super mutants. It took a long time to load up, though.

I just noticed that turning the TV on and off seemed to kick some of those static images into gear, but I suspect the problem is that it’s trying to download a lot of stuff in the background. The lack of a status bar makes it hard to tell whats going on.

nifty site, but the videos play in snippets and leave out parts, so I guess I’ll try later when its not being hammered.

RPS decided for some reason to stir up the hornets nest by pimping the old Interplay Fallout 3 tech demo.

With predictable results. :-)

I didn’t bother reading much - but it seemed like mostly complaining about there not being a demo for the new game … Is that what you meant?

There’s a few Fallout 3 bashers as well as at least one person complaining that NMA wasn’t credited for being the first place that had the tech demo or was linked since it also hosts the file.

isn’t that code/those art assets owned by either Interplay or Bethesda?

or they just don’t give a shit?

Jesus. Those comments are painful to read. Just a stream of bitching about there not being a demo planned for Fallout 3. As if most people haven’t already made up their mind to buy it or hate it.

Just to have a bit of fun:

We did an interview at PAX with Todd Howard and around the 3:00 mark he talks about something they did in Fallout 3 specifically in reaction to something in the X-Play review of Oblivion, which I wrote and produced.

Thus, it is potentially fair in a superficial way to say that I have had more influence over Fallout 3’s development than anyone from NMA.

So you are why it’ll just be Oblivion with guns. YEAH WAY TO GO MATT.

Staff_Sergeant · 2008-09-19T19:32:33.000Z

Did you even watch the video? Matt is the reason NPCs will react to erratic behaviour rather than staring at you blankly like in Oblivion.

MattKeil · 2008-09-19T20:25:49.000Z

I, uh, think he was kidding. But thanks for the backup.

Brad_Grenz · 2008-09-19T20:26:41.000Z

I remember that review. “In the end, Oblivion is a good game, but I can’t help but think it would be a great game if only they had included guns. And-and old-timey jazz music!”
