Fallout 3 Preview

CVG/PSW has published a new preview of Fallout 3 after checking out the PlayStation 3 version of Bethesda’s RPG sequel.

When targeting an enemy, you can choose to either shoot outright or use the precision targeting system where your trusty gadget The Pip Boy assesses the best points of impact such as arms, legs or as you can see from the screens – the head. SPLAT! Fallout 3, doesn’t skimp on the gore factor either.

This is a bloody, bumpy and monster-filled sprawler of a game with so much to take in, so much to do and so many ways to do it in. Another aspect of the game is that all weapons are actually pretty beat up by the time you get to them (they have been lying around for years post nuclear fallout) so most will need to be repaired by sifting through bins and rubble for old weapons that can be taken apart and fused with your existing one to improve aiming and firepower.

There are also a handful of new screenshots included in the preview, though they don’t really show anything we haven’t seen before.
