Fallout 3
Surgoshan:
That is a good trailer. It looks like they've eliminated the turn-based combat. I suppose that was inevitable. At least they kept the "aim at specific body parts" aspect (see 2:15).
Edit: and the gameplay trailer confirms that it's realtime combat, but you can pause and aim at body parts. Nice.
Thy Dungeonman:
That trailer really is something. Before I was iffy about Fallout 3, because I tried 2 and I couldn't get into it (don't hate me). But now I'm really looking forward to this game.
Alex C:
That trailer left me cold. It was too "BOOM, headshot!" for my tastes. I thought it just looked like a mating between a bit of tasteless humor and a generic shooter. Fallout was punctuated by violence, but the atmosphere of the game was based on the idea that getting blown to pieces by chainguns isn't fun and that the future is chilling, not just a gibfest.
I still give them the benefit of the doubt, of course. It's very likely this trailer is structured the way it is simply because they need to throw the community a bone and give them a glimpse of what the combat is like and the grim, hopeless future part of the setting could still be in full force when you're out actually wandering the world between firefights. After all, not every teaser trailer can be expected to be as good as the creepy Ron Perlman narrated intro the game is certain to be shipped with.
Spluff:
I really dig how well they've captured the style of Fallout (on the TV advertisement, and in the music, etc.), but the gameplay doesn't look particularly interesting at all. It looks like it's become an FPS in spirit (A troop drop? A goddamn troop drop? What were you thinking, Bethesda?) focusing on, as Whipstitch said 'boom headshot!' type action where people are charging at you - but it looks like it would be lacking in the fun of those type of FPS games.
But I dunno, if the fights are spread out and only a few people at a time, it could still feel like Fallout.
KvP:
Apparently calling 1-888-4-VAULTTEC gives you some sort of (coded?) message relating to Fallout 3.
Also, here's another demonstration from G4, which shows some new stuff, if you can tolerate the chatter.
