No one said the art wasn't professional. It very obviously is. But it looks like it was done by someone who LOVES Fallout instead of someone who is MAKING the new Fallout.
These people need to step back and look at what Made Fallout Fallout. Instead of looking at Fallout 2 and trying to recreate the magic. Recreating the magic doesn't work, ask Disney.

Good God you guys have sandy vaginas and the game hasn't even shown a teaser trailer yet. You see teaser promotional art and go all beret wearing artiste on it, Jesus.

As a matter of fact I swallowed one of these about two hours ago and the explanation is that it is, in fact, my hand.

Perhaps less beret-wearing, coffee-house, bongo-beating arty derision of all things not from the magical land of acceptable media.

The sad truth is there already was a company making the kind of fallout we all wanted, they actually tried it twice and while critics and a very loyal and small fanbase loved them it was not enough to keep said company afloat. Fallout 3 is not going to be like fallout 1 or 2, the company who made those games failed and it would be retarded for a new company to make the same mistakes again.

Having not actually played Fallout (I know, I am teh heathen) this thread had convinced me to plop down £8 on Fallout collection. I will apparently be playing it sometime next week, which means I will have started to play it about the point Schild is posting about the ending to this one.

You could have just watched the video  . It's some guy starting and finishing the game in ten minutes, he kind of exploits the battle system though. Ironically there are similar videos of people finishing Morrowind super quickly, so Bethesda and Black Isle already have something in common.

Uh, how exactly did he win that? What did he do there at the end? I recall having to kill a big mean mutant/robot guy at the end....
And how was he able to get infinate turns in a row when he got into combat, not giving the bad guys any way to attack him?

Um, aren't you thinking of fallout 2 ?
I think he just blew up the two installations rather than fight.
Easy to win a fistfight if you blow up the building it's scheduled to happen in.

Yeah he just took pickpocket/lockpicking type skills and stole what he needed to get into the bases with as little fighting as possible, then he used science to start the self destruct sequence. My memory sucks so I don't know what boss mutant you speak of. I don't quite remember the combat "trick" but if you started and stopped the round before the enemy's turn you could keep on start/stopping or something. Actually there is a FAQ on it: Q: Can you explain the combat trick again? A: Use the 'A' key to start combat. Direct your character to move as far as you want them to move while holding down the 'A' key. When your character uses up all his Action Points, the 'A' key causes combat to end upon the end of his turn (when Action Points run out) and then starts combat up again. In this way you can walk right past enemies without them ever getting their own turn to attack you. This is necessary for the Military Base, and quite helpful at the Cathedral. |

That was cool and all but I'm not sure it counts if you don't pick up Dogmeat.
I remember the mutant boss and I am pretty sure that was Fallout 1 since I never did finish Fallout 2. I could be wrong.

Dogmeat was Fallout 2. Pretty sure it was, anyway.

I believe the funniest way to beat a game fast belongs to Ultima 9. The stuff required to do it is ridiculous. I remember you having to stack books and potions to use levitate to get to an island you normally wouldn't be able to get to.

There's a glitchy one for Oblivion on Youtube, too, where the guy beats the game in something like ten minutes. Eight or nine minutes spent getting out of the first dungeon with Captain Picard, and then he fast travels to the imperial capital, grabs a stack of paintbrushes, stacks them up high enough to climb to the top of the cathedral, falls through the roof because of a clipping glitch, and the game notices he's in the final area and starts the final event. |

The one they have on now is cool. But isn't the trailer supposed to be already online?
|
As a matter of fact I swallowed one of these about two hours ago and the explanation is that it is, in fact, my hand.

The server was unreachable for a while and now it is showing an old fashioned TV "Please Stand By" message. They probably just got into work and need to get their morning coffee.  |

Oh yes. NMA is awesome right now. Upon further reflection it seems kind of... forced... like a cheap copy of the fallout intro...
It even has a similar timing. It's TOO MUCH like Fallout! Hahahaha. |

I dunno. Kinda falls in line with what I said. Bethesda needs to make their own vision, not just be fanbois - or else it's going to feel forced. No one wants that.

It's a sequel, and they have chosen to maintain the tone of first two games. But to me, that's what Fallout is about, and it isn't "forcing" anything to maintain that consistency as they move the franchise forward.

They do seem to have at least grasped it. I saw a bit of their own (more serious) direction as they moved out of the bus, but it's very reminiscent of the Fallout 1 intro in style, direction and action, save for the powered-armor stormtrooper at the end.
At least it sounds like they got Ron Perlman back.
However, judgement remains out until they show us the beef.
