Fallout MMO Hot On The Heels Of Fallout 3?

September 24th 2008 00:17
fallout 3 MMO

The pre-release hype machine is building Fallout 3 to almost unachievable proportions, with any possibility of more Pip-goodness being lapped up like water for a thirsty canine companion. Interplay has supplied one more ration for Fallout starved fans with the hint at a Fallout MMO currently being worked on at their new Orange County office.


The part of the story that adds credence to the rumour is that Interplay negotiated to keep working on an already in development MMO in the Fallout universe as part of the sale of the IP to Bethesda. They must get a product ready to ship by April 14th, 2014, but if the stars align this all adds up to more adventures through the ravaged future world.

The question enquiries minds may ask is "Do we want a Fallout MMO?" Good question mind. We have witnessed the death and/or basstadisation of a few well loved worlds recently, and the last thing any of us want is for that to happen to our favourite nuclear family.
The other question is whether or not this would come out across the consoles. With the podium place Fallout has been given by Microsoft through the recent gaming exhibitions, you would have to say it is a certainty. Perhaps Sony Home could adapt and allow you to socialise in the ravaged wasteland of the future?

quantum of solace


Bond. James Bond. I am a fan, always have been. I've even dabbled in a Martini or two based on nothing more than that they are the drink of choice in the movies. They're good by the way.

For fans world over, Activision announced today that Quantum of Solace will be released on November 4, 2008. Additionally, beginning September 22nd and continuing through early November, those who pre-order Quantum of Solace through GameStop will receive an exclusive token for a multi-player map pack on Xbox 360 and PS3 that will be available post-launch.

Thanks to Gamefocus.

Fallout 3 The Weapons: Video Montage

September 23rd 2008 06:15
fallout 3 guns weapons


This may be the only video that could replace the simple yet entrancing appeal of a model in a bikini firing a machine gun, Fallout 3 and its weapons in a glorious montage.

The video features a few interviews with the development staff, gore splattered corridors and a little of the cheesy nuclear families from the original that we know and love.

Guys who run gaming companies are the kind of people who don't like to let you die wondering. In a classic piece of schoolyard pouting, Activision boss Bob Kotick would like to let you know that Guitar Hero is doing well. So well that Rock Band can go suck eggs because it has girls germs

fallout 3


Australia is an island. And that's we way we want to stay according to Home Affairs Minister Bob Debus. Debus wades into the debate surrounding the modification, or non-modification of Fallout 3 to comply with the Australian Classifications Board. "In the board's view the game warrants an RC classification in accordance with item 1(a) of the computer games table of the National Classification Code," Debus said

There are some great things about Australia. Our beaches, appreciation of English humour and Jennifer Hawkins to name but a few. Then there is the Classifications board. The anti-Hawkins. I say this because all of the great work she has instigated to create the image of Australia overflowing with fantastic sights and beautiful people is about to be overshadowed by what is being called Fallout 3 - Australian Edition. This is the now infamous version of Fallout 3 that has to be created to cater for the Australian Classifications Boards willingness to ignore the fact that discerning adults play video games

left 4 dead


It is well established that this generation of gaming platforms are for different gamers. The Xbox was for your online community gamer, Playstation for your Asian style games and Nintendo for casual gamers. And then there was PC. The venerable gaming platform has suffered from a complex recently, with analysts predicting everything from its death by console in the imminent future, to it being the only platform available within a console generation. With the latest games requiring costly upgrades, only the MMO and solitaire gamers seem to have stuck by their trusty, clunky boxes. The most worrying thing about consoles taking more of our gaming time is the concessions being made for the convenience of the controller. It started within strategy games, the RTS scene. Different aspects had to be compromised in many peoples eyes to allow for the lack of hotkeys and mouse. And though a few RTS titles have managed to please both sides of the fence, the reality is that a dozen odd buttons cannot replace a keyboard

GamerChip brings you the news you have been waiting for: RedAnt, the Australian distributor for Fallout 3, has confirmed through the EB Games website that the game will be released on October 17th. The RedAnt website is yet to post details which will be of concern to some, but EB Games has yet to steer us wrong on this one

Fallout 3 rating


Australian Gamer have been kind enough to confirm the GamerChip story regarding the edited version of Fallout 3 hitting Australian shelves. The OFLC has decreed that fifteen years and older gamers will have a very similar version to that released around the civilized world - the one with the 18 rating. Details will come to hand soon as to the exact nature of these changes, but it would seem to be fairly cosmetic, such as drugs being renamed. The sexually explicit content, not having been raised as the cause of the ban originally looks to remain intact

fallout 3


Fallout is an apt name for upcoming game. The Australian media has been whipped into the closest thing to a frenzy we have here for the gaming industry over the ban on the upcoming Bethesda title Fallout 3. But according to EB Games and GAME representatives, Australia will be receiving the game, albeit in a modified format. The new, friendlier version, will have the drug use removed that saw the game banned in the first place. Both EB Games and GAME are currently taking pre-orders for the title. One representative from GAME, contacted this Thursday night, (after hammering home the "do you want to pre-order?" spiel) said that he had read on their internal communications only an hour before that Fallout 3 would be released this year

Not too long from now, at a Media and Business Summit not all that far away, LucasArts may be announcing a new game in the Star Wars Battlefront series. Online shopping megalith Amazon.com has added listings for Star Wars Battlefront III ... for no less than six platforms. The game is available for pre-order and has what we can only imagine is a tentative March 15, 2009 release date

EndWar And The Future Of RTS

July 2nd 2008 02:23
Tom Clancy Endwar


The future of the RTS will be redifined by the PC and console wars. It has been the electronic evolution of tabletop gaming up to this point, where it is taking a life of its own. Many aspects remain the same, such as the top down view and dice rolling in the background, while now the lines are blurring between RPG and FPS. With the acceleration of technology and broader gaming audience, RTS is set to change in the future

From the list of upcoming titles I was able to obtain we will see another 176 titles hitting the shelves between now and christmas. I was able to narrow it down to 19 titles that I would like to own, which suggested to me that there are too many games being released

Diablo 3


Blizzard have put us out of our collective miseries by finally revealing Diablo 3 will be hitting shelves in the foreseeable future (although being Blizzard that time will be when they decide it's the right time). And in a questionable departure from the tried and true formula that has rarely been successfully repeated since, Blizzard says RPG elements will be heavily featured

fan pack


One of the most disappointing releases of the year has to have been Rainbow Six Vegas 2. Fans has rightfully blasted Ubisoft for releasing a game that was nothing more than an expansion of the original title. It it were half the price the fans may have accepted it, but with very few new gameplay innovations and ported maps from the original Rainbow Six, most gamers just felt ripped off. Sales have reflected this, turning the much loved franchise into a turkey
