Hines and Trade Shows

Talking to Videogaming247:
Bethesda’s Peter Hines has admitted that showing RPGs like Fallout 3 at tradeshows like E3 and Games Convention can be a frustrating business.
“Sometimes, yeah,” he told VG247, when asked if showing such a large game to people in such a short space of time was problematic.[...]
Fallout 3 did come under some fire after [...]

No Trophies, No Love For the PS3

Thanks to Incognito I saw at Kotaku that there won’t be PS3 Trophies at launch for Fallout 3:
In an interview with PlayStation Universe, the company’s dashing Vice President of Marketing Pete Hines revealed that trophies won’t be making an appearance in the game…at least not initially.
“Not at launch…It remains to be seen what we do [...]

Morning Pete

Sidney Morning Herald talks to Pete Hines:
ALTHOUGH the studio might not be a household name, many spouses and partners around the world must curse Bethesda Softworks for robbing them of their loved ones.
As one of the world’s leading specialists in role playing games, Bethesda has been churning out engrossing adventures for more than a decade, [...]

Pete Hines Shrugs Negativity

Speaking to Videogaming247 Hines shrugged of a few post E3 negative comments:
“Everybody has their reasons why they do or don’t like something, so it’s not really for me to say, ‘That’s a good reason not to like it,’ or, ‘That’s not a good reason not to like it,’” said Hines when asked if some negativity [...]

New Interview at EuroGamer

Eurogamer interviews Pete Hines, and this one is rather interesting for a change:
Eurogamer: A lot of the humour in Fallout 3 revolves around ironic juxtaposing of cheerful utopianism and grim reality. Is there a line at which that becomes trite?
Pete Hines: If it’s overdone and it’s not in the right tone, it absolutely does. Our [...]

Hines on Pacifism and SPECIAL

I’ve been a bit busy in the last few days, and somehow forgot to post about Guardian games blog posting the second part of an interview with Pete Hines based on questions from fans:
Will weapons require a minimum Strength? Or only a minimum in its governing attribute? (Perception = Energy, Endurance = Big, Agility = [...]

Bit-Tech Returns To The Future Of Fallout 3

Interview with Pete Hines, with a bit more info than usual, at Bit-Tech:
We got a chance to go see Fallout 3 in action recently, and obviously we couldn’t turn it down. Though the event itself was the usual blur of excitement and curiously small burgers on cocktail sticks, we bemusedly came to the next day [...]

IncGamers Fallout 3 Special

An interview with Pete Hines, again, on IncGamers:
We’ve seen the game, so let’s start right from the beginning. Where and how does the game start and what’s your stat status?
You actually start the game witnessing yourself being born. The whole first part of the game takes place in one of the underground vaults that were [...]

Atomic Interview

AtomicGamer interviews Pete Hines:
Pete: It’s really designed to work however you want to use it. You can play the game entirely with VATS, use it in combination with real-time combat, or fight in real-time only. It’s balanced so that when you use it in combination with real-time fighting, it doesn’t become overly powerful.
In my recent [...]

TVG Does PH

Interview with Pete Hines at TVG:
TVG: What sort of influences did you draw from to create Fallout 3’s post-apocalyptic world?
It comes from a lot of different places. If you haven’t read it yet, we’ve put up these team diaries on our website and Adam Adamowicz did one (he’s our Concept Artist) where he talks about [...]

Fallout 3 Crispy Gamer Special

There’s another hands on preview at Crispy Gamer, with several concerns:
So why am I so unsatisfied?
Maybe it’s that this demo did little to show how Fallout 3 is truly different from Oblivion. Ok, the lock-picking mini-game is slightly different (and better) but the dialogue trees, skill breakdowns and overall feel seem so much like Oblivion, [...]

Fallout 3 Sponged

You know the drill, new Fallout 3 hands on preview, this time at SPOnG:
The VATS method of attack is a throwback to the combat system in previous Fallout games. However, does the presentation of an FPS give a confusing message to the player expecting RPG action? Pete Hines thinks not, telling me, “We don’t believe [...]

Guardian With Hines

Interview with Pete Hines at The Guardian Games blog:
How do you keep the wasteland setting interesting- both visually and from a content perspective?
It’s one of those things we have spent a long time on. We needed more variation than we had originally. It isn’t always obvious the first time you play through either. There are [...]
