Seriously, I'm waiting for the fallout (no pun intended) of this announcement, wherein PC fanboys complain that the game will be "dumbed down" for consoles. |
No need for the scare quotes. They really do dumb down games for console, both in terms of control complexity and adult content.
I'm expecting Oblivion-like controls, which while not optimal for PC, aren't really that bad, either. I can't help but wonder if this game will have far less rampant sex and drugs than Fallout 2, though.
Edit: I should add that dumbed-down controls aren't necessarily a bad thing. There are good things to be said for a simplified set of buttons. I just wish that developers would create an interface that was more custom tailored to the individual platform rather than make design compromises between multiple platforms.
Also, Fallout just wouldn't be the same without a brothel in every town and an elaborate drug system. I just hope Bethesda doesn't give in to the temptation to soften the rough edges to get a lower ESRB rating.
