New Fallout 3 concept art - east coast confirmed

Where are the 50s?
That doesn't look like Fallout. Must be another series.

I am glad that finally someone mentioned this.
the artwork isn't realy good and it doesent have the old Fallout feeling.

Care to elaborate, HFON?

As I already mentioned somewhere, I lost hope for a good fallout game but I still hope that we'll get a good post apocalyptic game. And I dont have anything against east coast area, that can be really interesting. We need to wait 28 days before we'll be able to make good jugment ( is that correct? ).

Actually if you look closely there appear to be some retro-futuristic buildings in the far background, including one of those mushroom shaped structures common in 50s and 60s sci-fi.

Looks like they need to call Terminex before this gets even more out of hand...

Would you care to elaborate?

Sorry, firstly it's Terminix... my bad. I agreed with a previous post that this doesn't look so much like a nuclear disaster as much as say a bad case of termites.


But, it's still awe inspiring and what not... pretty if you will.

Am I really the only one who's seen pictures of Nagasaki and Hiroshima that look a shitload like that?

Sadly, not everyone bothers to do any kind of research.

Yep, true.

 

[Sorrow]

are you saying that the original fallout games were "comic-book" style in their graphics? because i totally disagree with that.

Well, not exacly comic book but not realistic either - something in between.

Actually, the talking head artist was influenced by Frank Frazetta and Frank Miller.

Also, remember comic book covers and blue cavern walls.

Am I really the only one who's seen pictures of Nagasaki and Hiroshima that look a shitload like that?

No.

On the other hand, Nagasaki and Hiroshima like pictures aren't what I expect from Fallout teasers. I expect something that looks Fallout.

Something smells fishy about this new concept art.

It looks more like a photo manipulated image than a 'painting' as has been claimed. There are varying levels of detail around the entire image, and the overall pixelation is due to a side effect of JPEG compression.

I can't exactly put my finger on it, but something is just wrong.

 

[radnan]

a lot of digital painters use a overpaint technique (painting over photos) which to some might seem a bit childish .. but i guess its a pov situation ... the way its looking it could also be photocollage or maybe both ... it does look nice tho and i for one like the colors - i like the first pic that surfaced more tho as this one seems like a cheap shot (next up the statue of liberty?)

To me it seems like they went "Okay they didn't like the concept art, quick, make this photo of Washington DC look nuked, add some burnt buildings and put that up. They'll like that. Fallout had ruined buildings, right? Yeah."

Of course, that's my overly cynical mind in action.

Does the new artwork remind you of the 50s ?!
Is it in any way similar to the old fallout(fallout 1 & 2) games ?
I know some of you might disagree but even that stupid Fallout:BOS for the xbox/ps2 had better atmosphere then what i have seen so far from these 2 artworks.don't know,maybe the game will look different.But from what i have seen so far,it will be a good game,but definitely not Fallout.
you might wanna compare some of the old fallout artworks with the new ones.see how similar they are to each other.

They're landscapes. It's not as if Fallout's landscapes had a 50s feeling.

There was never a great focus on landscape throughout most of Fallout. Some of the cutscenes (in particular, the FO1 ending), but even then the landscape was just a background.

Most of the retro/future/50's vibe was in the dialogue, tech, literature and achitecture.

The "generic desert" theme could be transplanted into many other fictional universes, 'twas not that that made it.

no,i am trying to tell pope(s) how TO SPEAK ENGLISH

Okay,forget the 50s but the new artwork(not the landscape,the DC one...)looks way too realistic for a fallout game.

 

[Goweigus]

How do you propose to make a nuked DC look more Fallouty?

 

[Brother None]

Ruined googie or art deco buildings would help.

See Denver

Que? Maybe you should first teach yourself proper punctuation and capitalisation.

Because Fallout's in-game art was not realistic.

Oh snap.

 

[FeelTheRads]

I would propose they make some concept art that looks like Fallout, not some generic post-apocalyptic stuff. If it's concept art for Fallout, then it should look like Fallout, right?

These two images? No. They don't speak Fallout at all. I dare say they'll probably completely ruin the Fallout atmosphere by the way things look so far.

t looks more like a photo manipulated image than a 'painting' as has been claimed.

I'm almost sure it's a photo manipulation. And it's not the first time I see people painting over photographs and then call the result a painting.
Plus, Bethesda has a nice history of lying with images... at least with those screenshots with "Bloom" which was actually a nice little Photoshop filter.
