Fallout 3 GC Hands-On Preview

As promised, here is Trog's second preview from the Leipzig Games Conference showroom floor. This time with a game that has had more than a few headline hits here in Australia.

No I'm pretty open when it comes to games, but I know Trog is pretty fussy, and I equally kow a lot of people aren't really holding their judgement for this game until its released, so I think this preview should be eaten up with vested interest. There's plenty of juicy info here, and Trog's a hardcore PC man, so his thoughts bode well for what's ahead in post-apocalyptic Washington DC.

And don't forget to peruse our Fallout 3 game page for more.

Trog's name is spelt wrong in the first sentence. D:

All hail torg.

What was it like compared with Oblivion? Similar controls and movement? Fairly sure it also had 'moon jumping'.

All hail the nerd boy!

Good writeup though - Only making me more interested in the game, especially after hearing some of the negative feedback about it from E3 etc.

Good to hear it wasn't tripe. Even though it isn't the sweet isometric view we love, I'm still looking forward to it.

srlsy in this day and age, if you want isometric, you probably should build a time machine

First info I've read about this game. Sounds interesting, I think I'll wait to hear about the story before deciding to purchase though

My interest is defiantly sparked after it being lulled by the negative comments I had originally read on this game ... Now I am excited about it :)

Yeh I was quite surprised, I wasnt thinking I would find anything remotely interesting in it at all. The envrionment is so neato though, looks great. I think the key thing that determines its fate will be the story though and how all the rpg stuff integrates... i didnt really get long enough with it to suss that out (and obviously even if i did i couldnt talk about it)
