I'd be more concerned with the animation than the art to be honest. The animation in Oblivion was state-of-the-art in about 1995. Terrible.

looks like they figured out how to create characters that dont look like they have downs syndrome. Nice.

I hate the plastic look of that first enemy and the bad textures to the people (look at that one guy's ear) but everything else looks really good.

I don't like what I'm seeing at all. This totally breaks with the visual style of the earlier Fallout games. The Vaults were hightech, Starship Enterprise-y environments, not similar to submarine interiors.
Same with the ghoul, he looks way to scary and mean, that's not what Harold in Gecko looked like or the old Ghoul in the Hub. Not even Set looked this scary.

Oh well, hope dies last.

Ohmanohmanohman... I get to take my first peek at the game since Bethesda first showed it off last year. I can't friggin wait for Tuesday. Hopefully there isn't a lengthy embargo so I can gush at length about it all.

Ugh. This doesn't look like Fallout. Man, I'm in a constant state of love/hate with this game. I'd like to see some RPG aspects instead of first person shooter screenshots. Where's some pip boy love, where's the dialog choices, where is the character building. Stop showing screenshots that make the game look like a FPS rather than an RPG.

I guarantee you that if you took someone off the street and showed them these screenshots they wouldn't be able to tell you it was an RPG. It looks more like Gears of War than Fallout as it looks now.

I doubt you will even need a good PC for this considering it is a crossplatform title. For Oblivion you did at the time. But todays cheap PCs can run that better than the consoles easily.

Haven't the PC requirements for console ports been pretty high this gen?

So will this game run like shit on xbox360 like oblivion did or will this look good and run silky smooth.

Oblivion on PS3 was butter smooth, X360 can't handle as much at once, so yea, I'd say the definitive version will be PS3.

Sure, until they patched the 360 version with the upgrades to the engine they made for the PS3 version.

Personally I don't like to wait for patches to enjoy good framerate. The choice is yours.

That's fine man, but why is there this universal rule that if it's an established franchise it's OK if there are things not up to industry standard?

I think what it is more than anything is a desire for more quantity with the willingness to accept shortcoming, and as gamers we should stop this cycle because our wallets are bleeding for installments that aren't up to snuff.

PS: I think Fallout 3 is going to be fantastic, and I don't think these screens are anything like I've seen on other sites.

There's a party in my pants and you're all invited!

I'll get this for 360 and PC both.. I'll get the PC version when a card that can play it better is around 150 bucks though.

All clothing looks like molded rubber.

I'm interested in this if what Obsidian is advertising about the story is true.

Don't mean to be a flame/troll post but the engine and art look as generic as them "360 shooters" come (I know it's not even a shooter).

I hope more artistic direction go into this than any of the elderscrolls games.

Obsidian has nothing to do with Fallout 3.

All version are likely to be virtually identical, with PC gamers having access to whatever mods the community comes up with. I know which version Im getting.

Not many fallout fans in this thread I see, more like PS360 fans fighting over "teh superior" when it comes to multiplats. Sad.

Impressive, but I know next to nothing about it. Or the Fallout series itself, for that matter. If this plays as good as it looks I'll be all over it.

In that it'll deserve more praise than it initially gets, but then hits it big when people in the industry tell everyone who doesn't give a shit about it that it's actually worth buying, so then people buy it and randomly start enjoying it?

Sheeeeeeeeeeeeep.

Anyhow, I agree with you!

Fallout was fun because of the atmosphere and freedom. The actual gameplay was fairly basic turn based 'you shoot at them, they shoot at you, after a turn or three one of you falls into a pool of their own blood or explodes into pieces'.

Sadly not, overall a little smoother than the 360 version, far fewer and shorter loading interruptions, longer draw distances and higher rendering resolution. But the 360 GOY edition includes a shader update improving the texture quality like on the PS3 version and someone on NeoGAF claimed the rendering resolution was upped from 600p to 720p as well (Maybe, don't know if true).

These Fallout 3 screenshots look promising. I hope they tapped a lot more power from the PS3:

Todd Howard (Fallout 3’s Executive Producer) - from Oblivion developer Bethesda - understands that PS3 “has more than enough power. No single game is using it all yet - not even close”.

Someone didn't bother to read through the thread, eh.
There were like 3 comments of that and plenty of fallout fan talk, a good idea could be to actually take your time to read though a whole thread instead of making false assumptions when posting comments like that.

On topic, as I've never played fallout or been any particular fan of Oblivion, I have to admit, those screens are looking pretty good. The art doesn't really overwhelm me, but it doesen't bother me either. And most importantly, the npcs have vastly improved over oblivions, they still look generic and uninteresting (SO far) as they generally tend to do in these kind of RPGs, but at least they look human, which I couldn't say of oblivions bizzare vision of humanoids.

And the second pic is defintely the most awesome (limb dismemberment looks pretty neat too).
