OK, I'll rephrase :  I don't think Washington would be left that intact in event of a Nuclear War.


I guess we'll find out soon.

Scotland planning a sneak attack is it?  I guess now we know what they have been hiding under their kilts all these years...

What's down there would hurt you worse than any nuke could, bitch.

So. What, Scotland doesn't have laundry soap for undies then? I think the Geneva Convention categorizes that as a Weapon of Massive Disgust. Please report to the nearest internment center for 'processing'. They are also known as 'laundromats'.

I'm playing the Oblivion expansion right now and my former confidence that Fallout 3 will be good is waning...  That said I still stand by my assertion that of all the game companies out there we're lucky Bethesda picked up the license, it could have been much, much worse.  It won't be as good as the original games but it should be enjoyable.

Can anyone recognize the area from that picture?  I'm wondering if they modeled it after a real life picture like they did last time.  I can't tell if that's supposed to be a shipyard or if a giant wave just rammed that carrier into a bay.

As for the bomb damage maybe this is going to be a prequel and take place before the bombs actually drop during the "resource wars" when the U.S. was disintegrating due to a plague?  That would suck and is probably a stupid idea I just threw out there after reading the wiki to find out what year the nuclear war was supposed to actually happen (2077 according to them).

I don't know. That would actually be cool if they manage to pull it off. At least they won't be going up against the original games.

Not everywhere needs to be exactly at ground zero you know?  If a major city was on the outside edge of a blast and mostly ravaged by fire and other secondary effects it could look like that, I think.

The missile defense shield just has to be 'mostly' effective.

When I think fallout, I think of shit like the Cuban Crysis. Technology wise it seems about right.

The Devs of STALKER would've done a great job. In fact, I expect Bethesda to at least consider throwing away the 'hit/miss roll die' crap combat if they do FPS. Will gauge how good it is based on STALKER combat alone.

There's just no way you can play a FP-perspective game where headshots count for nothing since you're not master rifleman, hence no 4x dmg for you.
And I wonder how they gonna deal with sniper rifles and AI behavior to it.

For those who haven't played STALKER, it's basically post-chernobyl Russia in year 2000 with great atmosphere.

That's what I was thinking too since everything is done in a 1950's duck and cover type of style but the wiki says the war didn't actually happen until 2077.  Plenty of time to develop a better anti missile system...

Sure, Fallout was fun n'all, and the news of a Fallout MMO is neato.

BUT WHERE IS MY FUCKING PLANESCAPE: TORMENT MMORPG, YOU DISEASED FUCKPIGS?

I am a 58 year old grandma. My interests are my grandchildren (ofc!), lolcats and my church. I like long walks, the films of Meg Ryan, and reading beside the fireplaces of out of the way country B&Bs. GIVE ME MY PLANESCAPE: TORMENT MMORPG OR I'LL ENUCLEATE THE LOT OF YOU WITH A MELONBALLER. My thought for today: 'Why not give someone a smile 'just because'.'

Plenty of time to develop proper computers for the only places where human life would go on (Vaults), instead of the buttons and leavers shit they got. Technology wise Fallout is a mix between the 60s and Sci-Fi elements from that time. At least I've always thought of it that way, and Bethesda doesn't get to mess with my childhood memories :)

A grievous error in judgement.  My apologies.

Have to say, though.  I'm glad I love Fallout, and I am very glad that I don't suffer the brain-damaged nostalgia of people who looove Fallout.  Lighten up people!

Crazy.  I think it's pretty good.  Maybe the bro-grabs element of it is a bit cheesy, but the art itself, it's good.

Edit: Looks kind of like Craig Mullins

Except Craig Mullins has a bit more detail. It seems like Beth's art person just blurred a lot of the background details. It just isn't appealing and actually bothers my eyes. How long till whatever the fuck they're counting down to comes out?

And the art is very much professional.
