With the recent news of Bethesda purchasing the rights to the Fallout series from Interplay, all hope for a traditional Fallout title was smushed like so many Radscorpions under the jackboot of the Brotherhood of Steel.
In response to this, and to make everyone weep a lil inside, No Mutants Allowed have compiled the above video; a compilation of footage taken from the work Black Isle Studios had completed on Van Buren (the code name for Fallout 3), before they lost the rights to work on it (and were cast out of the Garden of Eden to walk the Earth until the end of their days feasting on human flesh).
A lot of this is stuff that I had yet to see, and, honestly, it makes me sad that we will never see any of this in a completed game. While I think Bethesda can make a passable title with the IP, it certainly won't be like the game in the clips, and when you think Fallout, you want something like what you just watched, don't you?

The music is so appropriate. Forever missed, Black Isle, the one true CRPG developer.
As if posting a video of a game I'll never play wasn't enough.
I need to close my browser, I feel a bit woozy
Bethesda, you have my dreams in your hands. TRead carefully.
Making wise decisions regarding marketing, with a fiscal year profit of $8 + sales of IP.
Fuckers.
Heh, that was quite sad to see this... However, I am not in the Bethesda bashing like most other die-hard fans. I trust them to do something good, while doing a game more suited for the > 2007 market. And RIP Black Isle. Planescape Torment + Fallout = these guys are gods.
Regardless, I salivated upon seeing the character customization screen. However, I would expect a more thorough equipment setup. Still one slot for an entire armor? Why not individual pieces?

unless it goes all Shadowrun on us.
Fallout 3 needs to be something different and I think Bethesda is probably on the right track. We'll just have to wait and see if they can pull it off while keeping the elements of Fallout that really mattered.
The only concern I have with Bethesda making FO 3 is if they do it like they did Elder Scrolls. Each new release of the Elder Scrolls series has improved graphics (by leaps and bounds I must add) and less gameplay content.

Nooooooo!!!
