Dystopian wastelands have never looked quite so good, in my opinion. The Fallout 3 Post Nuclear Blog has collected a bunch of new screenshots for you to check out that show off how good Bethesda's take on the Fallout universe is looking. I'm sure that the obsessed and creepy purists will find something to moan about, like, "That skeletal mutant doesn't look skeletally mutantish enough to be 'true' Fallout, fnar fnar," but who cares about them?
I'm certainly liking it. The wasted backdrops look gorgeously derelict, while the monsters on show are rather grotesque and icky looking. Check out the guy who looks like the Crypt Keeper. What do you guys think? Let Destructoid know if Fallout 3 is on your list of DO WANTS this year.

Saying that, it does look cool and I might well enjoy it, can't say I'm overly hyped at the moment though.
This is getting me pumped for the game. I'm still being cautious though, because we need to see if Bethesda can really make a worthy successor to the Fallout games and we need to see if this won't be an "Oblivion with Guns." Ugh Oblivion was such a disappointment.
Saying that, I enjoyed most of these games. I think I'll wait for more previews to emerge before passing too much judgement.
Also, Yay!
Jim is back!
On the downside, I am, like many others, beginning to get a little cynical about "next-gen brown".
COME ON!!
MASSIVE HORSE :D
Nice to see you made it, Jim. :)
Remember kids: Vault 101 was supposed to stay closed forevah. It makes sense that it's a bit rundown, compared to the original Vault 13. Then again, I'm not sure of the chronological order of the stories so eh.
Must.Hope.For.Best.
Also, who expects a post nuclear holocaust earth to be covered in beautiful lush green vegetation, clear blue sky and shiny newly painted things?
Im not sold on the turn based combat, i have yet to play a turn based game and i don't know if il be able to get into it. Aslong as the story is well written and exciting then i probably won't care
DogMeat and *That* Jacket
cant wait
P.S. Welcome back Jim! :D
I'm fucking stoked for this!
I want it NAO!
I do think a lot of games are beginning to look the same, since many of them use Unreal 3 engine (seeing as many developer don't really create their engines anymore).
The washed out reality look is the in thing now I guess, but what about tomorrow?
Watch the SNL sketch of the same name. It's kind of shit, but the impressions are genius.
I'm stoked about the party hats. I wish the screens held a little back instead of showing off the super-muties and power armor. I just want a taste I don't want the whole thing laid out before I even play. I get the feeling that there will be another countdown of mini-trailers like Oblivion had, which was kind of lame. I hope instead there is a strange silence about a week before it comes out.... then a massive explosion of awesomeness.
amen! the only color i want displayed properly is the red from the mutants head exploding from a headshot...this release can't come quickly enough.
im interested in this game, but i've never played another fallout before.
