well it has been in developement since before Fallout 3 lol so I doubt there would be major changes even if bethesda wanted to change anything. Having said that the game does aparently draw some insperation from the first 2 Fallout games, as well as mad max and a dozzen other post apocalyptic movies, games and comic books...

Still it's a straight up FPS with driving and an inventory and weapon cusamisation not an RPG with shooter elements lol


It says in your little linky Carmack is still technical director... I like this :D Still very very anticipated for me

Check out my hype threads: Cyberpunk, and The Witcher 3!

I am not that hyped for it. I don't know why. In terms of sales I think it'll hit Borderlands level or maybe even beyond. So a very vague prediction based on little info I have , will read up on it more.

I'm hoping its going to sell well, but I doubt it can reach higher than 2.5 million, simply too many other games this year and a lot of people aren't aware of this game

Over 5 million on consoles.

- It's made by id
- Bethesda is a phenomenal publisher
- It will have groundbreaking graphics
- With its vehicles it's much more varied than other shooters
- It will have a great multiplayer
- It will get over 90% Meta

10 million is impossible though because Battlefield 3 is the game that's going to hit 10 million and challenge CoD this season, there's no room for a second challenger right now.

You think the 3rd Battlefield outing can almost double the sales of the 2nd game? I guess 2 doubled 1. But going from 2.5 million up to 5 million is easuer than going from 5 million to 10 million.

Not trying to diss Bethesda but they did publish Rogue Warrior, One of the worst shooters to ever grace this gen.

Ot: It obviously won't do COD numbers but it'll do very well on consoles and It'll have an amazing modding community on PC.

Absolutely.

Remember how Call of Duty went from a 4-5 million (CoD1&2) franchise to a 14 million franchise (MW) in just one season.

The popularity of shooters on consoles exploded with MW (and obviously Halo made the groundwork bla bla, but this is not a history lesson). Respect and hype for Battlefield 3 is insane.

The only thing that will reduce BF3 sales from the 15 million level is that a few million prefer the superior PC version.

Bethesda aren't putting their excellent marketing skills behind every small game they publish though (like Wet and this year Hunted: the demon's forge).
