Kieron Gillen interviews Pete Hines for Eurogamer:

Eurogamer: What I’ve never quite understood about Fallout 3 is why would Bethesda buy the licence? Arguably “Bethesda does post-apocalyptic game” is a bigger story than “Bethesda makes Fallout 3″. Fallout is a relic to modern gamers. If you’d made your own world, [...]

With a new office in Tokyo, from the Bethblog:

Fallout 3 Preview at VGM

Kind of boring Fallout 3 preview at Video Game Media:
Bethesda doesn’t want to clutter up the interface and block your view from important areas or from gazing at the ravaged Wasteland. The game will also handle dialogue with other characters with multiple-choice dialogue screens, as you’ve seen in Oblivion and others alike. So far Fallout [...]

Fallout 3 Gets Kieronized-Updated

Fallout 3 preview at Eurogamer, Q&A with Pete Hines coming soon:
Given that the developer is responsible for the most successful Western-style RPG of recent years, Oblivion, it was a little surprising, during Fallout 3’s demonstration, to get the sense of a team with something to prove. While there’s much about FO3 that recalls Oblivion, there [...]

Going to the Movies

Not news to me, but in case someone still didn’t knew, here’s something from Matt “Gstaff” Grandstaff:
We intend on making gameplay video available for you guys to see the game. That’s all I can say at moment.
Thanks Pieatorium at NMA.

Fallout 3 Kikizo

Very large Fallout 3 article at Kikizo, a few tidbits:
“The thought of doing anything with Van Buren was never even considered. We’re not going to pick up something someone else started and try to make something out of it. We got it because we wanted to make Fallout 3 and so we’re going to [...]

Fresh From The Fallout 3 Forum

More tidbits from the Bethesda Games Fallout 3 forum, with Matt “Gstaff” Grandstaff talking about the upcoming E3:
Yeah, some folks were able to get their hands on the game last year. As you said, part of that criteria was that judges had to be able to see that the game was “playable.”
Talking with Pete, at [...]

Fallout 3 First Look at Videogamer

New Fallout 3 preview, from Videogamer.com:
It’ll take something pretty special to follow The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. Bethesda Softworks’ must-own next-gen RPG ushered in the new generation of consoles spectacularly well, offering hundreds of hours of gameplay in a world impossible to imagine only a few years ago. Its success, though, must have put some [...]

SPECIAL Fallout 3 Rumblings

A bit of controversy on the Bethesda Games Fallout 3 forum, this time about SPECIAL, with Matt “Gstaff” Grandstaff stating that:
I think you might be jumping to conclusions, as SPECIAL in Fallout 3 is an integral part to customizing the character you’ll be taking through the game. The use of of SPECIAL in the game [...]

Oblivion With Guns Strikes Back

From XBoxer:
I went to London today to see Fallout 3 in action, and while unfortunately I can’t say too much about it (save for the fact that it looks very much like Oblivion with guns, and thus very good indeed),
He lost me there. Still there’s more info on how Emil’s voice is hilarious as a [...]
