Trang website 1UP nghĩ gì và bàn luận xau khi đoạn trailer của Fallout 3 được tung ra
We asked the folks at Games for Windows to spend a few minutes doing something productive after Bethesda Softworks released the Fallout 3 teaser trailer this morning -- read on for their thoughts (except for Ryan, who's probably too busy thinking about LOST), and a few from some reflective 1UP users at the end, as well!
Sean Molloy: Smart start -- it certainly gave me faith that they're sticking with the original games' tone. You get olde radiola tunes, a quick glimpse at Pip (the original Fallout boy!) in those propaganda posters on the bus. So yup, this is Fallout. I'm also now completely convinced it's gonna be some first-person Oblivion-style thing. When the camera pulls out of the bus, and you see that ruined cityscape--I want to explore that s*** in first-person. Imagine that moment in Oblivion where you leave the first dungeon, only you see apocalypse instead of green acres. I don't think Bethesda could pass up that opportunity.
Shawn Elliott: Good God, this looks good. Voice what you will about Bethesda not having the knack for ink-black humor it needs to hammer out a true-to-the-series sequel, but think it through first. In my mind, Oblivion more than proved the developer's ability there, what with Cyrodiil's neurotic citizens. Remember Mr. They're-watching-me-and-I-know-it? Or the pair of schemers who wanted the same loot, and who wise adventurers played one against the other? I want to think that Bethesda has what it takes, only the developer's humor isn't bopping you in the face. And again, how often has that happened in gameland? Maybe it's because I read comic books, but changed up creative teams aren't always alarming. In fact, if Bethesda decides to take a radically different direction with Fallout 3, I'd rather that than a dull remake.
Jeff Green: Yeah, this looks hot. I'm palpitating here. Okay, so it's just the trailer, and that has no bearings on whether they'll actually make a good game or not. But they nailed the tone here, dead on. Even the choice of that Ink Spots song ("set the world on fire"--get it??) was right on, especially considering that they could have gone with, um, Fall Out Boy, just to pick the worst possible alternative. And put me on the list with you two wanting a radically different direction--like first-person perspective. I loved the first two Fallouts to death, but now is not the time for another isometric turn-based RPG. Not with the amazing possibilities that Bethesda could bring to this series after knocking it out of the park with Oblivion. I can't wait.
Darren Gladstone: Let me slap on the devil's advocate hat for one second since nobody else here will. It's the blessing and the curse of being a gaming curmudgeon. I'm not gonna lie, Shawn. Prior to seeing the trailer, I was a little concerned about one thing: Bethesda being able to hit the depths of black humor Interplay previously did. I mean, yes, Oblivion has some subtle moments (that paranoid NPC in Cyrodiil is that game's Fox Mulder - I swear it!) but Bethesda's bread and butter has been some serious high-fantasy shtick. Minor bitching and general dickery aside, let me say this: Wow. Inside of two minutes, Bethesda confirmed what I pretty much knew all along-that the Fallout franchise is in very capable hands. The second I heard the first few notes from The Ink Blots, my mind raced back to the late 1990s (or at least reminded me of the old timey music constantly piping out of Jeff's office). Some of my fears were set aside-and the fact that the entire trailer was shot in the game engine? I'm right there with Sean Molloy. I need to see what happens the second I walk out of my vault and into Fallout 3's apocalypse. I can deal with no more turn-based gameplay, I just hope that it's loaded with the humor and irony that made me love the original series. As it stands right now, the only taste I'm getting is of a roid-riddled tough guy (Ron Pearlman) in armor spouting toughguy tawk: "War never changes." Indeed!
Sean: Actually, to play devil's paralegal, I think the only thing that gave me pause was Hellboy uttering that line right at the end. Yeah, we're talking about a friggin' trailer, but if you play some soldier, that strikes me as kinda...well, obvious. I don't really fear that Bethesda will turn Fallout into Gears of War: Radioactive Edition, but part of Fallout 1's charm was that you were just some schlub emerging from your Nuclear Vault into the crazy surface world. Again, this was just a guy and his tagline; god knows what it's got to do with anything.
Shawn: Granted, nuclear dawn games are nothing new, however, with DEFCON, Stalker, and World in Conflict on our hard drives, it looks like we have another wave on our hands, and I love it. I wonder what post-Kruschev kids take from it, though; if the slant resonates in the same way. Or not. I wasn't around when Jeff was drinking blood outside The Ink Spots' studio, but still consider myself a student of the Depression.
Jeff: You punks don't know from good music. And I'm not a vampire. You're fired!
As for the 1UP users...
"The nostalgia really hit when I saw Vault Boy again. Bethesda has done a great job with the teaser, but I hope to God this game isn't a first-person, real-time shooter like Oblivion. The teaser certainly confirms that the world at least will be true to the spirit and design aesthetic of the series." -- Krypter
"War, war never changes...Looks tried and true to the fallout style. They even have items you can reconize, nukecola, toolbox, et., Good job Bethesda, at least your not showing us some off the wall crazy stuff, you've got a large rabid fanbase to appease and they'd all like nothing better than to raze your HQ if you mess this one up..." -- Trasher 909
"Finally a game that gives me chills just by watching the trailer. I've been a fan of this game for years since Wasteland and Fallout 1. The Console versions of the Fallout series were bad in my opinion so I hope they do this one better and try to redeem the name. Most people (Possibly only my store and Florida) only know of the console version and not 1,2 or Tactics." -- Voided_Silhouette

Website GameDaily bình luận gì về việc Fallout 3 tái xuất giang hồ ....
In December 2003, gamers collectively shed a tear, as Black Isle and parent company Interplay shut its doors and put its assets on the auction block. That brought an end to big-name games like Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale, Planetscape: Torment and Fallout ... and a project codenamed Van Buren, the third game in the critically acclaimed Fallout series. The project was scrapped, and the Maryland-based Bethesda snapped up the licensed the rights to Fallout.
Nearly four years later, Bethesda releases a Fallout 3 trailer which shows that the company plans to stay true to the game's origins. It perfectly nails Fallout's trademark post-apocalyptic atmosphere, complete with rubble, retro-futuristic advertisements, ethereal music and beautiful voiceover at the end. So, will Fallout 3 deliver the perfect sequel to the Black Isle series? By the looks of the teaser trailer, Bethesda seems to be working on something special.
With that said, we still have plenty of concerns about the new game. Bethesda has yet to give straight answers about viewpoint, interface and turn-based combat elements. Technically, the "Oblivion with guns" rumor could still be correct, but after looking at the trailer, and the fact that it uses real assets from the game's engine, Bethesda seems to be doing its best to stay faithful to the IP/franchise that it purchased April 2007.
The two most major and confirmed announcements about the game were a relief. Fallout 3 will continue to use the series' SPECIAL (i.e. Strength, Perception, Endurance, Charisma, Intelligence, Agility, and Luck) character attribute system. We guess the system will contain a few small modifications, but the main character system will be in place. Secondly, characters from previous games will make return appearances; they would need to travel from Southern California (the setting for the first two games) to Washington, D.C., the major metropolitan area in the game. This change seems like a good move for Bethesda since it will help keep the game fresh and allow the development team to create a new history for the series (and cheap assets since the developer is located a few miles from the D.C. border).
Fallout (1997) and Fallout 2 (1998) brought gamers different settings and a whole new type of game. The role-playing game delivered a mature, anything-goes attitude, the complete freedom of choices it offered and the diverse characters found throughout the remnants of the western United States. Bethesda plans for an M rating, which suggests it plans to retain the violence and strong language the series is remembered for.
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, another Bethesda game, perfectly balances between linear and non-linear. A main quest can be completed in increments, or players can walk away and find hundreds of hours' worth of quests unrelated to the main storyline.
Fallout veteran Ron Perlman reprises his role as the game's narrator. Bethesda also signed Liam Neeson to voice the main character's father, who will play a substantial role in the game. The dedication to use high quality voice acting and high-end graphics show that Bethesda has lofty goals. This definitely bodes well for Fallout 3.
