To hear that voice once again... God, I miss GWJ radio days ;]

Fletcher, me and my forum folks on one of rpg-related boards were disscussing Fallout Online and number of subscribers it can gather. Main argue was - does it (and whole MMO industry) still have an "open" market, or it has to mostly steal players from other MMOs? Also, I'm wondering whether...

I'm pretty sure they will because it is simply too important for too many people, so it would be commercially harmful for them, if they wouldn't. But be aware that they always might cripple it in soooooo many ways trying to make it more oblivionish ;] (imo oblivion system wasn't bad, but it is...

But this only describes problem we will have with BethSoft approach to Fallout. Morrowind was game with great main quest (if you were only willing to read), compelling world, own setting and style. But Bethesda failed in trying to combine story-driven game with TES openes ('do whatever you...

(I won't be getting into discussion about poor quality of article. For people who don't know Fallout well mistakes like this aren't quite important. And for Fallout fans it might be annoying but whatever - so short article wouldn't have any informative vaule anyways.) @Archon I think that...

When we speak about fanbase we don't mean Fallout fans, but RPG games fanbase. Because mostly the same people who were blaming Oblivion blame F3 now. But talking about hopes... Funny part is that we could be sure that F3 would be good GAME im most parts. Because you couldn't possibly make too...

links?

Because the fan base seen Oblivion. How could a guy who was making levels for games like e.g. Bloodrayne could be a lead level designer? We will see how this will turn out but Fallout III made by Todd YAY!HYPE! Howard does not sound sweet to me.

Ah, yes. Breaking Vista was "impossible to achieve". Remember? And they sold 244 copies in 1.2 bilion China because of that "impossibility".

Exactly. Oblivion is a great game for me, but medicore RPG. And I regret it is set in Elder Scrolls lore which was raped&ripped for sake of having next-gen title. It is something alike LOTR games - no matter how good they are, they left most of people with mixed reactions. Agreed.

Seems that BethSoft is planning on making Fallout it's new best-selling franchise (probably because they ruined TES series and need something new now). Sound really, really scary when I think of post-apoc-new-setting Oblivion. On the other hand once more it came to my attention that there isn't...

btw: Shivering Isles were announced about three weeks ago. Really ;]

Wrong. Their (I have, umm, *pleasure* of knowing at least few hardcore Fallout fans) point is, that all sentiment for series and specific atmosphere/'obscure' feeling will be killed with jump into 3D & manual combat (etc etc). After seeing totally "light" fantasy that Oblivion was, I'm worried...

*cough* *cough* Okay, to put it simple - will we see anymore podcasts anytime soon? It's obvious that everyone were enjoying "the new GWJ radio". So... what's happened? (I've been looking for any topics considering Radio or Fletcher comments on it but haven't found any. Am I blind or there...

Anyone got exact numbers? I wonder how much money MS made already (and how much do they lose with every piece of hardware sold).
