tin tức mới về fallout3 đây(= tiếng anh)

Thanks to Dark`Machine, I can now paste the GameInformer article on Fallout 3 in full, rather than the summarised version posted earlier. Dark`Machine added that this was at the end of the seven or eight page article on The Elderscrolls IV: Oblivion.
Last month it was announced that Bethesda had acquried the Fallout license from Interplay, and the company has confirmed that that Fallout 3 will follow The Elder Scrolls IV as a new next-generation title. While only in preproduction stages at the moment, the game will use the same technology as Oblivion, and is planned as another open-ended roleplaying game. This game however, will be decidedly darker. Imagine a survival horror-esque version of the Fallout world, with all the things you expect out of the series still intact, but with deeper, more immersive gameplay. The post-apoc theme (with tongue in cheek humor) of the series is still present, with your character having spent the first 20 years of his life living underground. Because of this, his eyes are unaccustomed to the light of day, thus players will have to train their eyes away from light sensitivity by using a special pair of goggles. Todd Howard claims that Fallout 3 will be one of the most original and violent titles ever and will be set in a familiar US city.
ALERT! ALERT! They're going for deeper, more immersive gameplay. Pray tell, how exactly are you going to get deeper, more immersive gameplay? Oh, that's right: the immersiveness of real time combat and a first person perspective, combined with the deepness of a penetration, hard, from behind. Though, I have to admit, "Fallout 3 will be one of the most original and violent titles ever" did kind of pique my interest.

Thanks, Dark`Machine.





Forum regular brillo let me know that Fallout 3 is covered in the November issue of PC Gamer (US). He kindly typed up the relevant section for us.
While Bethesda is still evaluating different designs and features, Fallout 3 will undoubtedly introduce some changes to the series. Executive Producer Todd Howard wouldn’t confirm whether the franchise’s traditional isometric view and turn-based combat will be abandoned, but he did point out that the strategy spin-off Fallout Tactics retained those elements and still didn’t resonate with series fans. In Howard’s view: “There was so much more to Fallout than the angle you viewed it at, or how combat was resolved. You need to look at what Fallout did for RPG’s when it came out in 1997, and create a game that has the same effect for the next generation.”

Howard thinks the vital, mandatory elements that define Fallout games are “the overall tone and character choices. You could play Fallout in many different ways with different results. And the first game did a brilliant job of putting you in a harsh, unknown wasteland that was full of people who [hoped] humanity would survive. At it’s core, it’s a survival game.” That’s already a fitting characterization for Fallout 3 given that it’s survived considerable adversity and now the follow-up’s back in experienced RPG-making hands.
I don't read this article as saying "there will be no turn based combat or isometric viewpoint", unlike the GameInformer one, but I do think, if this really is Todd Howard's view, he needs to take another look at the series. It was the combination of the viewpoint, the combat, the characters, the setting, and the roleplaying system and opportunities (amongst others) that helped make Fallout a cult classic. At least he mentions the fans of the franchise and how we reacted to Fallout: Tactics.

Thanks again, brillo.



Instead of editing my current news posts, I thought I'd post the developer comments from various forums here with regards to the recent news about Fallout 3's (possible) direction.

Firstly we have Kathode on RPG Codex saying,
Just a quick obvious point that won't do anything for you: The drugs and hookers part is not a quote from Todd. That's from Computer Games. Notice the lack of quotes :)
On a similar note, MrSmileyFaceDude posts on our own forums,
But no, we can't talk about it :) And it does say "survival-horror-esque", not "this is a survival horror game".
What I deduce from this is that they can deny the survival horror thing, but the other parts they're staying quiet on, in terms of confirming/denying.

Before today, Pete Hines wrote on NMA,
There are no devs to be open to interviews because currently there are no devs for Fallout 3. As we've said several times, we're in pre-production and in the process of hiring people to work on the game. When there are devs, and they are ready to talk about the game, and we have something to talk about, we'll talk about the game.
Make of this what you will. I do find it confusing that, if Bethesda have no team, why so many game-style decisions appear to have been made.
