"Geeze you think alot. I saw a Rock-It Launcher, it launches anything in your inventory at an enemy, from a pack of smokes to teddy bears, bolts and even nuka cola bottles; that is awesome. Loved Fallout 1 and 2, but really; that style of game with those gameplay mechanics is no 21st century, mainstream, multiplatform viable. "
Which is why Dragon Age features turn based gameplay and an isometric camera? And why Diablo 3 is a damn faithful sequel to a game that came out 8 years ago?"
Well, I'd argue that game developers aren't robots and shouldn't be expected to repeat a previous game's style again and again; especially when it is a different developer in the case of Bethesda Softworks. It'd be soul-crushing I'd imagine, to work on a game and be told "But you're not allowed any creative input, just make this game just like Black Isle Studios did" "
Indeed. However, if you're going to make a faithful Fallout game (which Beth claims they are) turn based combat comes with the territory. Isometric can go, it matters very little. Turn based combat (VATS is not turn based before anybody tries to tell me otherwise) on the other hand really is a must given how central it is to the SPECIAL system.
What annoys Fallout fans is that Beth have claimed that they're making a faithful sequel, they know what makes Fallout etc. yet they've A) completely toned the game down thematically, B) gone against canon and C) introduced things which have no place within the universe or which should not be in a Fallout game. Hence the rather large list in the OP.
