PAX 2008: Fallout Gameplay Footage Bonanza
By Pete Haas: 2008-08-29 17:11:13
You can watch trailers, read previews, and pore over screenshots and never really get a sense of what a game is really like. The gameplay vids are the most honest way to evaluate a title - next to actually playing the damn thing, of course. However, in the case of Fallout 3, there's no demo on the way so be content with this new truck-load of in-game footage.
The five videos below, unveiled at this weekend's Penny Arcade Expo by Bethesda, offer about twenty minutes of combined footage. You'll follow the character as he escapes from the Vault where he grew up and heads into the ruins of the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. It offers a detailed look at many aspects of the game: the real-time combat, the targeting system which allows you pause the game and aim at individual body parts on enemies, the dialogue trees, the minigames for lockpicking and hacking, and, of course, the beautifully-rendered wasteland and characters. They're all certainly worth watching, though I've just been watching a minute or two of each. There's no big spoilers in the videos or anything but I'm just really psyched to play the game myself so I've been very leery about the game becoming too familiar to me before I have my hands on a copy. That being said, I'll probably end up watching them over and over between now and October 28th, when the game hits stores. Those of you who are less neurotic than me or are really jonesing for new footage should definitely check the videos out, though.

very nice. sounds like they took a lot of the original sounds as well as using some of the canon ideas like that two-headed brahmin in Megaton. This is gonna be sweet! Probably need to upgrade the ol'puter though.
