Fallout 3 In Development?

Posted by simoniker on from the rumor-falling-into-place? dept.

easychord writes "RPGCodex are reporting that J.E. Sawyer has sneakily or accidentally leaked Fallout 3 concept art onto the Interweb. After the disappointing non RPG spin-offs in the Fallout universe and the confusion around Black Isle's Lionheart having the working title of Fallout Fantasy, is Fallout 3 becoming a vaporware holy grail?"

  1. Thank God, it's about time. by SaintElmo · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I loved the original Fallout, but I wished it was larger. It was downright one-tracked and linear. But, the second one was so huge and so complicated it was like jumping from a vacuum into a nebula, or something like that. You get my meaning. I'm bad with analogies. Plus, the Temple of Trials was soooo hard unless you picked up useless skills to get through it. I hope the third one is like the first in its difficulty curve, but like the second in its divergence and multitude of weapons. I certaintly hope this isn't only smoke and mirrors, or a graphic-upped version of F2 like the Tomb Raider games. I'll be waiting for this to hit the shelves and then put myself behind the controls of an intelligence 1 strength 10 brute again :)

  2. No Bugs! by JamPaladin · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Fallout 2 was a fantastic game, and I really enjoyed playing through it. The one thing that really spoiled it for me though, was all of the glitches. I'm talking game essential items endlessly replicating and then disappearing here, and many other equally game-destroying things. Add this to the patches that, in my case, removed some glitches but added others (Yes I did install the correct patch) and you have quite a mess on your hands.

    I'll be looking forward to Fallout 3, but this time, I hope Black Isle take the time to remove the bugs!
