More details from the Fallout 3 press event
Here are a few more chunks of info about Fallout 3 (PC, PS3, Xbox 360), the much-awaited next-gen iteration of the highly popular and much-loved Fallout franchise. The following details were revealed at Bethesda‘s recent Fallout 3 press event and come to us courtesy of Joystiq:
In the Fallout 3 universe, Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel and Fallout: Tactics never happened.- Fallout 3 will feature a day/night cycle as well as changing weather.
- There will be no multiplayer mode. No demo is currently planned.
- Players can collect 21 collectible bobbleheads throughout the game
- Fallout 3 will feature 20 licensed songs from the ’40s. Players can listen to these songs through radio stations accessible via the PIPBoy as well as radios that players can come across in the game world.
- Travel between locations can be done via subway tunnels. There will be no drivable vehicles.
- Bethesda is still considering the addition of downloadable content as well as player-created mods.
- The game will have 9 to 12 different endings.
- Almost all NPCs in the game will be killable. There will also be children, but Bethesda has yet to decide if they will also be killable as in the previous Fallout games.
- Players will once again be able to hire mercenaries for extra firepower. As in Fallout, players will not have a lot of direct control over them.
Joystiq also mentioned that the Fallout 3 demo showcased in the press event included a loading screen that showed a metric of “corpses eaten.” When asked, executive producer Todd Howard declined to reveal anything about it. “We’re not talking about that stuff,” said Howard.
While the possibility of it being a joke is there, we still wonder what a corpse’s rad levels are.
Fallout 3 is currently slated for release in Fall 2008.
