Fallout 3 Preview

Gennext had a chance to try out Fallout 3 hands-on in Amsterdam. The author translates his own preview and offers additional comments on the BGSF. The preview is followed by a video interview.

As for the graphics, well i was standing ridiculously close to the LCD tv, so aliasing all around, but when i stepped away a bit it looked awesome, and that’s how you play games..not with your nose almost into the screen, you know, lol. The draw distance is impressive, very impressive, it rarely happens that things pop up, ok…they do, but rarely. Birds flying around in the air, realistic looking water (toxic as hell though, can’t survive long in water,radiation, etc.) nice textures, especially this certain city looked very nice , very atmospheric. Some areas didn’t look as polished…but they have time left to fix that and really…it’s nothing to [censored] about really.

But it’s the little details that count in a game like this…i saw this big wasp..i think they call it ‘bloatfly’ , i shot it’s wings and he dropped to the floor, you can also headshot these wasps, lol. During another headshot on a human opponent i actually spotted a eyeball flying around..gruesome, yeah…lovely.

A somewhat better translation is available here.
