Do the graphics look any better than Fallout 3 overall though?

They do. There's still plenty of screen ripping going on, but overall, I do see an improvement.

I know the game is running on the same engine, but i think the brighter colors make it look MUCH better!

Not out here till Friday, so I have no impressions yet, lol.

i hate how they spread the release days depending on region. :-/

Why is this thread in the MS subforum?

That is a good point, I hadn't noticed that, damn Xbros. :p

Had over 300 hours in FO3, but looking at the videos and such I'm not happy with the game. After 2 years I wanted something better and this.

I had probably 400-500 hours in FO3, was so awesome, lol.

But chances are, if we didn't get New Vegas because they passed it onto Obsidian, we wouldn't have a new Fallout for a good number of years seeing as Bethesda are busy doing whatever they are in secret, hopefully a new Elder Scrolls, but then we would have to wait longer for them to develop a second game.

Because our version is obv superior and we must have our own :p

I was considering getting the 360 version, since I figured maybe it would have Avatar awards, which it doesn't :(

But I assumed it would look better, but a comparison seems to show that the 360 version has better lighting but some muddy textures for some stupid reason. :s

The PS3 version does have better textures, but I am noticing some major aliasing issues.

But then again, these are all differences that won't be seen when you play them unless they're played side to side

yeah.

I think i'd be able to notice even without the comparison. I wonder why there's still a problem with developing multi platform games for the ps3

Nice to see this is still in the wrong sub forum. Edit: Saying that it is an abysmal OT. I'll try to slap one up in work.

Just finished this last night. The game it's self is little more than Fallout 3.5, even the graphics look the same, but does a great deal of a better job at recreating the feel of the original series. None of this Bioware-esq karma good/bad. I happily ridden the morally gray true to the end until I had to finally pick a side. Alas it's an Obsidian game so crashed 3 times last night and a grand total of 8 times over the weekend. Not counting the various non-show stopper bugs.

:blink: you finished it already? I'm still waiting for my copy (bought on Steam, already pre-loaded). It was suppose to of been released on the 19th and a day or so before it was due to be released, it was changed to the 22nd which was annoying...still, I preordered it a few months ago and got it at a fairly good price and I've noticed recently the price has almost doubled! so at least I avoided that.

    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original

      Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.

      Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
