Well, Fallout 3 gets released tomorrow. I’m interested to see what they do with it. I was a little concerned that the transition from overhead-view to first / third-person view might mess up some things. From the articles I’ve seen, they say the game is uneven – good in some parts, poor in others. I expect to wait at least a week and let the reviews pour in before checking it out for myself. It’s too bad there’s no demo for the game. I really like to check out demos before I buy a game. The game developer said that the game world can’t be cut-up into a convenient demo format (although, I have to wonder about that claim – couldn’t they make a little sandbox area? Maybe throw together some game-world pieces into a 5-minute demo?) I’m leaning towards “we didn’t have the time to make a proper demo”.
It’s also too bad they got hit with piracy – causing the game to be leaked almost three weeks before the release date.
Speaking of Fallout, there’s an old abandoned factory not far from my house. Whenever I pass it, I think of the Fallout series. It looks rather post-apocalyptic, and could easily be an inspiration for some quest in the game.
