Fallout 3 Van Buren Tech Demo Released

Posted by Zonk on from the meet-you-in-shady-sands dept.

gbridge writes "Over eight years since the release of Fallout 2, the original (pre-alpha) tech demo of Black Isle Studio's abandoned Fallout 3 Van Buren project has made its way into the public domain. It's obviously a long, long way from being even beta quality but fans are rejoicing that they finally have something of the cancelled project to see for themselves. Bethesda have also given Fallout fans something to look forward to by announcing that a teaser video of their own interpretation of Fallout 3 will be released in 33 days time."

    was the bloody mess perk. and i actually remember reading somewhere in an interview or comments section that this was specifically mentioned by someone at bethesda, i dunno if it was one of the lead developers or what, but the fact that they specifically recognized this one feature gives me high hopes.
