Featuring Ron Perlman.

If they ever make a fallout without Perlman narrating "War.... war never changes" I would destroy the entire development team.

!!!SPLOOSH!!!

I'll uh... I'll be right back.

Seriously though, that video captured the original spirit of the FO1 and FO2 exactly.

[ThunderMace]

OMG. I have wood.

[Knightward]

Holy crap!

And lol, Ron Pearlman looks like a buff version of my crazy uncle.

I can't wait, now I'm waiting on two PC games in 08 [not getting this for PS3 or 360].. Spore and Fallout 3. Thats going to be a good PC Year for me I think.. usually don't get excited over PC game releases.

[ThunderMace]

Don't forget Bioshock as well.
Oh, and checkout my new Desktop

That was pretty cool.

I love Fallout. I cannot wait to see if this one will make it to market (and I am really hoping it will), or if it will turn out to be another Duke Nukem Forever...time will tell.

This looks great, though I'm more looking forward to Bioshock. It's going to be a good year for PC games. There haven't been a whole lot of really good games coming out for quite some time.

First look (http://www.gamespot.com/pages/gamespace/updates.php?pid=918428&sid=6173397&tag=topslot;title;1) at Fallout 3 over at Gamespot and damn, does it look awesome!

Regardless of what choices you make in the game, you'll need to fight for your life against foes, both human and mutated. As we previously noted, combat can be done in real time, just like in an action game. If that's the case, the game is still doing dice rolls, taking into account your character's skills and abilities, but that's all transparent to you. Or you can pause the action at any time and engage in traditional Fallout-style combat, using the Vault-Tec Assisted Targeting System. VATS allows you to use any action points that your character has to target enemies. Combat will then unfold in real time before pausing again. You can go even further and target specific portions of an enemy, such as crippling a leg or slowing an enemy down (useful if you don't want the foe anywhere near you). One example that we saw involved shooting the antenna off of a giant ant, thus blinding and confusing it to the point that it attacked nearby ants.

Fallout has always been known for its ridiculously over-the-top violence. For instance, if you fire a shotgun at point-blank range in the original game, bodies explode in showers of gore. As Howard noted, that tongue-in-cheek splatter is part of what made Fallout so much fun. And that's something that Bethesda is working to capture in Fallout 3. Heads will explode, limbs will get sawed off by gunfire, and we even saw eyeballs fly out of their sockets then roll down an incline. This will be the case especially if you have the infamous bloody mess character perk, which boosts the odds that each death you cause becomes a spectacular one. Bloody mess is just one of the many returning character perks from earlier games, though Bethesda is adding plenty of its own as well. Fallout fans will also be happy to know that the game retains the series' S.P.E.C.I.A.L. system, which builds your character around attributes (strength, perception, endurance, charisma, intelligence, agility, and luck); skills, which are things that you learn, such as repair skill; and perks, which are innate abilities. As you level up in the game, you'll have the opportunity to improve your attributes, learn new skills or improve existing ones, and add up to 10 additional perks to your character. In Fallout 3, your character can advance to a maximum level of 20, though by then you'll be close to finishing the game anyway.

w00t! :D
