Hines: Fallout 3 approachable to newcomers

Posted on September 5th, 2008 at 04:23 EDT

For those of you worried about playing catch up in the Fallout series before taking on Bethesda's latest entry in the franchise, don't fret. Pete Hines has assured PSU that new players should have no problem picking up Fallout 3 and jumping right in.

"Well, we make sure you don't have to have played the previous Fallout games to understand what's going on in Fallout 3," said Hines.

"Obviously the control scheme should be familiar with folks who have played a 1st or 3rd person game. That was one of the nice things I heard at PAX from a number of folks is that they felt like the basic controls were pretty intuitive and seemed to pick up on things like how to use the Pip-Boy or the V.A.T.S. combat system pretty quickly."

Fallout 3 is set to release on October 28 in the U.S., and from the hands on time we've had with it, we expect the post-apocalyptic RPG to be a heavy contender for Game of the Year. Stay tuned to PSU.com for the full interview later today.

Ofcourse 1st person POV and 3rd person POV is always gonna b similar, how else could you have it?

Anyway this game looks good although very similar to STALKER:shadows of chernobyl.

Good thing they made it approachable to newcomers as i have not played the previous version but it does look good. Will buy even though it has no trophies support, although it should -.- Dont really care anyway gonna be a good game to just play.

Some how i've lost all interest inthis title after Hines tried to defend this thing from criticism about the e3 demo.Dunno why though,i hope i didn't let any of you guys's hype down.
