    Cons:

    The battle system (VATS) sounds like crap. It's a pretty much useless system when you got enough bullets or is using a melee weapon. I mean they don't want to make it an FPS game, but still, that's what they are doing. It's a shame they will actually use the Fallout 3 name, insted of a spin off name that the game deserves. It's listed as an Action RPG

    Mini Nuclear Launcher? What the fuck, is this a joke? "Fatman"? God.

    I don't understand why they spend so much time explaining all the G.O.A.T, S.H.I.T system during character creation, it will take what? Max 5 minutes when you know what you want?

    Camera; First person or 3rd over the shoulder camera? It's clearly that it will be just a crappy port of the PC players. Who to blame, the money is in the consoles anyway.

    Too many mutants, what the fuck. Mutants are the the most boring people to fight except from the aliens. It's all about killing raiders, slavers and tribals (or being one of the ones above!). And they look dead ugly (not in a good "ugly mutant style), and they have maces, and not a heavy machine gun. Is this the proof that FO3 will be Oblivion with gunz?! Even in Tactics they atleast had grenades.

    Pros:

    Graphics look ok, it's gorey, lots of things to care about (water, rads etc.)

    Quote from Tannhauser

    The July issue of Game Informer, which has Fallout 3 as the cover story, hits shelves on June 18th; subscribers receive their issues a few days earlier. Sallokin on the NeoGAF forums claims to be in possession of this issue, and has been relaying information he says is from the magazine.The article is based on an hour long demo GI was given. I'll list the high points- Game runs on an evolved version of the Oblivion engine. Third person view has been reworked since the verdict was that the Oblivion version sucked balls.- Game starts with your birth and your mother's death in a vault hospital. This is essentially the character customization part of the game. Your father hands you up to have your DNA analyzed and you get to pick out all your character traits. Your dad takes off his mask to reveal similar traits to the ones you picked.- You grow up in the vault and as you grow you get your first book titled "You're Special" which allows you to choose you baseline stats for each of your 7 primary aptitudes. You'll also get your first weapons and wrist computer (menu) as you get older and take tests to determine the initial layout of your skills and traits.- Every aspect of character creation is based on S.P.E.C.I.A.L. system. Of your 14 skills you can tag 3 to grow at a faster rate than the rest as you level up.- Battle system is called the Vault-tec Assisted Targeting System (V.A.T.S.). The article states. "While you'll certainly be able to tackle enemies in real time using first person shooting, V.A.T.S. lets players pause time and select a target at their leisure". Battle system still uses action points, but once you've used them up you'll still be able to fight targets in real time while they charge back up.- Game is still violent and gory. One of the featured screens is of a guy's head exploding in super gory detail. Apparently all gory deaths in the game will be in slow motion.- More than one way to play the game. Go balls out and kill people, or sneak past situations, or perhaps talk your way out of situations.- Enemies can target you just like you can target them, so you can get injured in very specific points on you body. This in addition to an all new health/radiation system. This new system has you measuring how radiated certain things (like water) are and how they affect you when you consume them.- Karma system returns[. . .]It doesn't say anything specifically about party members, but there's a section that talks about how integral NPC's are to the game, and that a lot of the progress in the game will be made via quests.EDIT. A little caption under a screen shot says you'll be able to hire henchmen to help you out but this is definitely not a party based game. Also Bethesda confirms that there'll be a dog in the game.[. . .]As a matter of fact they do. The game does not scale like oblivion, so if you enter a high level area expect to be promptly murdered.Also, I just read a little caption.Level cap is 20.Definite ending to the game, but there are 9 - 12 possible endings.[. . .]It is XP based. Most of your XP comes from quests.Keep in mind that there is no confirmation on this information, it may be entirely false.

    Thanks to Autoduel76 for bringing this up in our forums.

    Battle system sounds like crap, first person shoot :S And action points. Why care to use your action points when you can just use your mouse and aim? SHIT.

  • You Are Empty, released on GamersGate!

    Well, the game we've all been waiting for, You Are Empty is released.

    Quote

    1C Company, Mandel ArtPlains and Digital Spray Studios are happy to announce that You Are Empty is now available through digital distribution.You Are Empty is a first-person shooter which offers players an alternative approach to the history of the late fifties of the XX century. Scene of action is the Soviet Union. Leading Soviet scientists start a big experiment that alter human physiology and mentality in order to create super humans capable of building bright future and communism all over the world. But something goes wrong. As a result the whole city, where that experiment took place, goes on a rampage. The majority of citizens died, and those who survived turned into hideous mutants - the only inhabitants of deserted streets. You Are Empty immerses you in an exaggerated dark and obscure atmosphere of Soviet totalitarianism. Fighting against mutants, that obtained super power after the experiment was carried out, the main hero tries to gain an understanding of what's happening around and save the day.

    You Are Empty is available for download on the game digital distribution portal GAMERSGATE (http://www.gamersgate.com).

    Anyone already have the game? I think I want to buy it, but I'm not sure yet

  • Israeli's about to build first cyborg!

    Then I feel like asking, what is the purpose of robots\cyborgs?

    Wouldn't it be to do work for us? Things that are too dangerous, stressful, painful etc.

    After a while, we won't have human janitors, cause they are replaced by a more "powerful" Cyborg which can work day and night, and he doesn't bitch about having to clean up a mess. Then the cycle would expand and expand, removing more and more human jobs..

    Or is the whole Cyborg thing some kinda pet Israelites want for fun?
