Next-Gen Previews Fallout 3

<strong>[ Game -> Preview ]</strong> - More info on <a href="#Fallout 3">Game: Fallout 3</a>

<p>Highlights from <a href="http://www.next-gen.biz/index.php?optio ... 5&Itemid=2" target="_self">Next-Gen's preview</a> of <em>Fallout 3</em>.</p><p>How did the Brotherhood get to the east coast? Not in the airships, since Todd ignores Tactics:</p><blockquote><p><em>Howard says that he disregards Fallout Tactics and Brotherhood of Steel
as part of the Fallout franchise, &ldquo;much like I disregard Aliens 3 and
4.&rdquo;</em></p></blockquote><p>On the teaser:</p><blockquote><em>The demo begins with the trailer that Bethesda recently released,
voiced by Ron &ldquo;Hellboy&rdquo; Perlman, but it&rsquo;s in fact just the beginning of
the game&rsquo;s intro.</em></blockquote><p> </p><p>On the landscape:</p><blockquote><p><em>As indicated by the concept art and trailer that Bethesda had
previously released, it&rsquo;s clear that we&rsquo;re not in Cyrodiil anymore.
&ldquo;Destruction is the new trees,&rdquo; Howard proclaims. Gone are the lush,
expansive lands of Oblivion&rsquo;s provinces. These are replaced by charred
land and scorched cars that can explode if shot. Prestigious
gray-walled towns are replaced by makeshift settlements constructed
from the remains of nuclear war; airplane wings, car parts, ruins of
abandoned structures and remnants of pre-war life.</em></p></blockquote><p>More on the Vista and DirectX10 stuff:</p><blockquote><em>Howard says that Bethesda is still &ldquo;up in the air&rdquo; about implementing
DirectX 10 graphical features, which are exclusive to Microsoft&rsquo;s new
Vista OS. What he does know is that Fallout 3 will not require users to
have DX10 to play the game. &ldquo;I&rsquo;m not of the opinion of requiring Vista
to run this game, so it will not be required.&rdquo;</em></blockquote><p> </p><p>Why was the game previewed on the XBox?</p><blockquote><p><em>Howard explains, &ldquo;They&rsquo;re all at the same stages of development&hellip; We
have competency now on the PS3 since we&rsquo;ve done Oblivion on that, so
we&rsquo;re very comfortable on that platform. We often do things on the 360
first because it&rsquo;s a little bit easier. Why did we show the 360 in the
theater? It just shows better as opposed to the PC [version] in the
theater. [Xbox 360].&rdquo; </em>
