Gaming - Fallout 3 Hype - View Post

Probably because fallout was an extremely unique one of a kind franchise... and now it's "Elder Scrolls FPS edition".

Which could of been done just as eaisly without the fallout name and left to the guys who got outbid who actually wanted to make another game like the first two.

Just imagine say... if they turned FF13 into a minigame collection.  Even if it's the best minigame collection in the world.  It's not what people wanted from that franchise.

 

 I've heard the "Oblivion with Guns" analogy before and I'm not really buying it.  The "Childhood character creator" feature of the game alone, for instance, is enough to differentiate it from Oblivion.  As for not being what people wanted, people thought Metroid changing to a FPS would be a mistake too, yet when it came out the game was so great everybody seemed to forget their earlier complaints.  I can't say for sure whether this will be the case with Fallout 3, but i do think that analogy is a little more apt then Final Fantasy minigames.
