The original, top down. The version where you stopped instantly if you hit a tree and motorcycles were absolutely insanely difficult to use, but if used effectively, were tremendously awesome.

*whistle*
Yes, the NMA guys are nuts, in that "should be locked into a box with a Pentium 166 for the rest of time". Mind you that 'other' fallout forum isnt a whole lot better. However, I played STALKER, and while it was cool, I got sick of it very quickly. Once I had my fill of the "Wow, thats some crazy good AI" moments, I stopped and traded it off for a copy of Prey, because it was IMO a better FPS. I dread FO3 being a oblivion clone, and I fear MORE what is going to happen to the flavor of it in the hands of Bethesda, whom are fairly famous for being very PG with their games. Mind you, Id suppose any game nowadays has to be able to not trigger the 'Wal*mart block', and in this post 'hot coffee' world, no one (cept Rockstar, who has reportedly thumbed their nose and taken an 'M' rating as a way to sell more copys of GTA4) is willing to produce a game that can draw that kind of fire. On to the bigger issue. I blame a lot of the current market issues on the fact that nearly every major title in the last 4 years has been a multi system release. That in and of itself forces games to be the same. Why is FO3 going to be first person? Because the old 3rd person engine wouldn't play well at all with a game pad on an xbox 360 or a ps3. There is your answer. And now, because its going to be a console game, and not just a PC game, it has to fit in the family room next to Harry Potter. So no more killing kids by shooting them in the crotch and getting the bloody mess effect. |

the latest issue of Game Informer had an exclusive on FO3, and I think many of your fears are unfounded lindt.
esp the part about it being "PG". not if the graphically exploding super mutant head had anything to do about it. the aiming system is supposedly being used, so you'll still be able to shoot people's eyes and ding-dongs off. black/white morality has never been part of Fallout, and it didn't seem like they were going that way, infact they made it a point to say they are not doing that on purpose. |

Ahh, well this is good. My faith in the world may yet be restored.
Oh wait, Scooter Libby went free, never mind. |

Yeah, the Brotherhood of Steel was a lot more fun when they had a krotty class.
What I really want to see is red float text that says "REVERSE PUNCH KIAI!!!" |
