If you're looking forward to Fallout 3 (and you're not one of No Mutants Allowed's loonies), you have to give it up for the effort Bethesda is putting into capturing the gee-whiz spirit and wide-eyed '50s-looking style of the original Fallout games. They've just launched a new site with a bunch of really well-produced, amusing black-and-white movies detailing the various features in the game. Back at Microsoft's E3 press conference, they ran a pretty hilarious Vault-Tec TV commercial in this style, but sadly I don't see that particular clip on here. Though, a lot of these videos have clickable links that will take you to demos of things like the Pip Boy arm-mounted computer. Here's one of 'em.

Well, no, I can't get the video to embed. Crap. Just go check out the site!

Hey, did you know Fallout 3 is out in just over a month? That one really snuck up on me. Anyway, this is an interesting way to learn more about what is personally one of my most anticipated games this year.

the health system in this game really turns me off. instead of 1 health bar (which only HL pulled off), there are now about 5. it's a real pain, I hate dying right before a big boss fight and i have to traverse the huge open-world to find the boss. i'm looking forward to Far Cry 2. Biggest open-world ever and the videos that were on Kotaku were fucking amazing. that said, Fallout 3 looks fun, and i loved the dialogue trees in mass effect.

Wow, those are actually really good.  They've put the thought (and the money) they need into this.

Yeah, those NMA guys are vehement about their Bethesda loathe. I can't wait till they eat their words to the awesome groove that is Fallout 3.

EDIT: BTW, the best way to ruin a game is to overhype yourself and spoil every piece of information about a game before experiencing it. Happened to me and GTA4.

"Yeah, those NMA guys are vehement about their Bethesda loathe. I can't wait till they eat their words to the awesome groove that is Fallout 3."

I can't wait until people actually realise what is so wrong with Fallout 3. Looks like I will have to though because no matter how many times the Fallout community spells it out for you, you still think we're a bunch of nerds stuck in the past who refuse to buy a monitor with a resolution over 800x600.

We're not afraid of change, in fact we embrace it, what we are afraid of is someone ruining the art direction and humor of the series, something which is plain to see from preview Bethesda has accomplished.

I'm buying it anyway it will be a good game in it's own right, but it wont be Fallout 3 to me, it will be just another spinoff.

Also I can't beleive Giantbomb would drop impartiality to call the NMA crowd a 'bunch of loonies', that's a good way to win respect Brad.... /sarcasm. People are falling for the same ploy Bethesda used against the Star Trek community, and it's working. :\

after playing fallout 2, it seems to me that fallout 3 does an impeccable job of retaining the humor and art style of the series. Just IMO though.
