Fallout series

That's terrible. If history is anything to go by, we're in for glitches and shit textures.

Weirdly enough, I've never had many glitches in Fallout 3 and New Vegas.
The pirated versions of Fallout 3 GOTY were very prone to crashes, though. However, I've never had any serious problems with vanilla FO3 or New Vegas, for some reason.

The most unstable Bethesda's game I've ever played was Skyrim, though. I couldn't get past the intro without a bugfix - the characters simply refused to get off the horse cart.

Perhaps I'm being overly autistic, but I've had something of a tortuous history with Gamebryo. Regardless of what game it was, be it Fallout or TES, it always has an unfortunate tendency to crash. When its not doing that there always seems to be a lot smaller distractions like textures getting stretched out, the physics or framerate shitting the bed and every other NPC looking (and often sounding) exactly the same.

Gamebryo has always struck me as being too limited for the things it hopes to achieve. I can't deny its modding capacity but everything else about it looks and plays like shit.

I wonder if it'll be super difficult as fuck to get around in Fallout's Boston as it is in real life?

Boston: Where all the streets are one-way streets and to get to the other side of town you have to drive through Cambridge.

But I'm optimistic for this game let's just hope for the best :)
 
I don't mean to be shitting up the thread by being a pessimist, but I'm not very impressed by that trailer. It doesn't look like anything new is really going on.

The whole "pan-out from an old piece of technology that's suddenly started functioning again" has been done twice already. The shots of the setting look like up-ressed locations from Fallout 3. They have that same ruined East Coast vibe only this doesn't feel like its distinguishing itself that much. You also have the same image of the foreboding suit of Power armor, the vault door opening as the protagonist shields his eyes from the sun, the pan over of the town made of scrap metal with a big-ass gate, and so on. It all feels like it was lifted from Fallout 3.

I can forgive any graphical transgressions because its just a trailer. I wouldn't expect the game's assets to be fully developed yet.

They? There's only one dullard in that screenshot and he's clearly being mocked by the other parties involved.

DC is also a nightmare to drive through

You aren't shitting up the thread, someone had to say it and if it wasn't you it'd have been me.

I had nothing but issues with FO3 when it was first released (PS3 version, anyway). I had major issues with freezing and crashing, especially in the DLC's. It was close to 5 years after the game was released that I finally finished Operation Anchorage, Point Lookout, and Mothership Zeta because when I tried playing them on the PS3 when they were first released, they were broken on my machine. Operation Anchorage always crashed before the big fight at the end, Point Lookout would crash as soon as I got past the first part of the mission, and Mothership Zeta always crashed before I got out of the holding cell.

I've given 360 some shit over the years, but I noticed Bethesda titles on PS3 fuck up a lot more. I've had your same experience with the holding cell in Mothership Zeta, and multiple crashes in Ledendary Edition of Skyrim, both for PS3. I can't actually say I've gone through all of the DLC for 3 on PS3, just Xbox, so who knows how many glitches I haven't come across.
I wonder if its specifically related to DLC? Did you have GOTY or buy them separately?
 
Bethesda games are generally shit on PS3 and should be avoided on that console at all costs, unfortunately. They're much better on 360, and, of course, best on PC.

I'm really hoping Fallout 4 performs better on PS4 than Fallout 3/New Vegas did on PS3.

One thing I'm kind of hoping is that Obsidian can at least make another Fallout game too. IIRC a few years back Interplay gave Bethesda full rights for three games (That was going to be Fallout 3, NV and Online) but everyone thought they'd sit on the 3rd game for several years for marketing, which they kind of did.

Now, I think, Interplay have lost or given the full rights of Fallout to Bethesda and won't be transferred. Strangely enough a lot of the crew who worked on the original Fallout games now work for Obsidian.

I bought them separately from the PS store when they first came out. I re-bought GOTY off of the Xbox store, and I'm not sure if it was because I did get the GOTY edition or the fact that it was downloaded straight to my hard drive that made the difference, but I didn't have nearly as many problems with it on Xbox.
 
While the visuals and use of Gamebryo engine disappointed me, the voiced acted PC was a little more disappointing. Having a non-VA'd PC is more immersive to me.
Also, the trailer itself felt very similar to their Skyrim reveal trailer when the camera panned out to all the buildings. That's not a bad thing, I just expected different.
I have about zero hopes for this game now, but I guess we'll really see how it looks as we get more info about it.

The only thing I'm really worried about, like many others here, is that Bethesda are going to dumb down the gameplay like they did with Skyrim and make it more action-based. Either way, I will probably still end up playing it.

In the meantime, I got Fallout 3 to run on my laptop pretty good. I'll play though that again while I wait.
My first 3 skills will be Sneak, computers, and explosives.
