Interplay
Fallout 3 was initially under development by Interplay, the original owners of the Fallout license, under the codename Van Buren. Interplay went bankrupt before the game could be completed, and the license to develop Fallout 3 was sold to Bethesda (a video-game studio famous for the Elder Scrolls series) for a $1,175,000 minimum guaranteed advance against royalties.

Bethesda
Bethesda stated it would be working on Fallout 3 in July 2004, but principal development did not begin until after The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion was completed . Bethesda has announced their intention to make Fallout 3 similar to the previous two games, focusing on non-linear gameplay, a good story, and true "Fallout humor." Bethesda has also stated the game will be rated M for mature, and will have the same sort of adult themes, violence, and depravity that are characteristic of the Fallout series. Fallout 3 will use a version of the same Gamebryo engine as Oblivion, and is being developed by the same team.

Between May 2 and June 5, 2007 Bethesda showcased 5 pieces of concept art by Craig Mullins on the Fallout 3 website during the countdown to the teaser. The cinematic teaser trailer for Fallout 3, consisting of the first part of the intro, was released by Bethesda Softworks on June 5, 2007, after a 30 day countdown on the Fallout 3 website. On August 2, 2007, the game's website has been opened.

Reception
Everyone knows it's gay except for stupid fucks who like the Elder Scrolls games and people who think any kind of RPG beyond pen-and-paper is good.

Gameplay


V.A.T.S.

A cover story in the magazine Game Informer [ 1 ] and other previews that followed revealed that:

Bethesda will fucking ruin it. why oh why didn't Obsidian buy the license?

Changes from previous games

 * Combat is gay FPS.
 * Characters are fugly
 * It's played like an FPS, so only pretending it's Halo is the acceptable playstyle

Setting
The game is set in a post-apocalyptic world following The Great War, a nuclear war that occurred on October 23, 2077 and lasted less than two hours but caused immense damage and destruction. Before The Great War were the Resource Wars, during which the United Nations disbanded, a plague rendered the United States paranoid, and Canada was annexed.

The game takes place in the year 2277 on the East Coast of what used to be the United States of America, mostly in Washington, DC, Maryland and Virginia (Unlike the first two games, which were set on the West Coast of the United States, mainly in California).

Story
The Player Character is a young inhabitant of Vault 101. The Vault is a piece of bullshit Bethesda made up.

Who cares about nuked D.C.? Everyone knows it's all about West side.

The Brotherhood of Steel (represented by the Lyons' Pride Platoon) is also going to appear, they're now fucking douchebag knights that help everyone. Super mutants that are invading the world and are in a constant battle to push humans out will be the player's biggest foes in the game, they're now all retarded because Bethesda couldn't invent a good villain if they tried. Just look at Daggerfall for fucks sake! .

Developers


The project is headed by executive douchebag Todd Howard. Other shitheads include Ashley Cheng, Gavin Carter and Jeff Gardiner. The lead fuckhead is Emil Pagliarulo who previously worked on Thief games as well as the Dark Brotherhood quests in Oblivion. Lead level fucker is Joel Burgess. Other leads are lead shitbag artist Istvan Pely and lead crappy-code-like-Daggerfall programmer Steve Meister. PR and brainwashing for the game is coordinated by Pete Hines.
