There's a new
Fallout 3
Q&A on Strategy Informer talking with Pete Hines of Bethesda Softworks in a
detailed discussion of their upcoming continuation of the post-apocalyptic RPG
series. They wrap things up with what seems like the essential question gamers
have about this project, which is how a
Fallout game that will also
appear on consoles will live up to the expectations of hardcore fans of the first two
games: Ultimately, I think it’s up to everybody to make up their own mind
about whether or not Fallout is a game they want to play, and whether it’s a
game worth playing, and how good or not it is. There’s no one source in this
world for “I determine the Fallout-ness of any game in this universe”, nobody
gets to do that, everybody has to decide for themselves and even just sitting
here I’ve had people say “I have a fan who is a hardcore Fallout fan, and he
says what he remembers most about Fallout is X”, and whatever he says ends up
being slightly different or completely different to somebody else. Everybody
takes something different from every experience. Our thing is we’re going to try
to make the best possible fallout game that we can, we believe that it is a game
where if you loved the original games, you’ll see lots of things here that will
remind you those previous Fallout’s. If you’ve never played Fallout, there’s a
lot here to make you become a big fan of this universe.
But we just get to make the game, we don’t get to make that call on how good or
not good it is. We just focus on what we’re doing and then guys like you will
decide if we were right or not.
