Retailers will put any date in there if they don't know the actual, to spark pre-orders. There is no reason to suppose that has anything to do with the actual release date.

I've seen the movie quite a few times and I don't think there's any hint of a 'laser tube' being fired. The gunshot sounds a bit odd but is certainly recognisable as a gunshot. Bullet impacts look like regular (movie) bullet impacts. No laser effects to be seen.

No, of course not. Fallout is not a very long game. Twenty hours sounds about right for Fallout 1. But this is what the writer of this article thought about twenty hours for Fallout 3:

Took me two hundred hours to finish Fallout as well. It's just not roleplaying if the game can be completed in a shorter span of time.

Official MS Lapdog.

That's not a skateboard. It's barely larger than the liquor bottle. It's an old rollerskate.

There were no excuses. The developer was asked a piss poor question and he gave the only reasonable answer.

Games should be designed by drawing diagrams and writing dialogue in street corners, hoping passersby will toss enough change into your overturned hat so you can get at least one meal a day.

Fine, how about 2076?

Maybe it's not the Oriskany from 1950, maybe it's a fucking huge aircraft carrier from 2150.

Fallout has hellovalot of stuff not related to Wasteland at all (50s stuff for example), but that's not what I'm talking about. Why would you think GCG's "The Wasteland Survivor's Guide" would be based on Wasteland? Right now that seems only a bit more likely than it being based on T.S...

Sure if you want to make a game that's marketed to a niche group of a niche group. I just don't see the point (I'm pretty sure GCG wants to make money and feed themselves).

Where did you get the Wasteland connection? Yeah, the name has "The Wasteland" in it, but it looks like a generic reference. Wasteland isn't as known as Fallout and wouldn't really help GCG sales wise at all. I don't see why they would pay for the license.

Clean slate? Right from the start you're different from absolutely everyone around you. Living all your life in a vault versus living all your life in the ravaged wastes is a hugely defining characteristic.

Bethesda's budget can take it. We're talking much bigger numbers than what Fallout 1 had. "Dramatic tone for the entire game" reminds me of the Overseer. I suspect his role in the story will be like that.
