NEWS #2 Molyneux Interview
If you love Molyneux and Fable 2 you should read his recent and extremely honest interview with Develop.
An excerpt:
Q: A lot of designers do that and think it’s perfectly acceptable, though…
A: True. But look right back at Dungeon Keeper and then through all of my games, you’ll see me do it and talk that kind of thing up.Q: Such as?
A: Classic example: in Black & White 1, I said that while you were playing it the weather in the game would be the same as it was outside. Now… who really gives a fucking shit about that? What should have been important was how the player felt when playing the game.
NEWS #3 - Fallout 3 Reviews
Fallout 3’s reviews are finally out…from gamerankings.com:
Well… this was unexpected…NOT! Bethesda seems to have the RPG formula down to a science, can’t wait to play 100 hours of this.
An excerpt from IGN:
It’s rare that a game can hit the mark in so many different and often conflicting areas. Fallout 3 offers freedom without sacrificing a focused story. It delivers fantastic combat without forgoing a deep role-playing system. The characters you meet are engaging and oftentimes hilarious without feeling out of place in this harsh world. The game has a few flaws — most of them technical — but it’s a case where the whole is greater than the sum. It’s a fantastic game with incredible atmosphere that offers fun in so many different ways that you’re almost sure to get hooked. This is one of the best games you’ll play this year.
Was watching Southpark when I saw the preview of Fallout 3. Seems to be a nice game. The gameboy theme really looks retro but a very unique theme I must say. Too bad I dun have an iphone or else I will definitely download it.
