Fallout 3 Trailer Available Online

Voodoo Extreme and 1up are both hosting the long anticipated Fallout 3 Trailer. Looks like we'll be seeing the game in stores Fall of 2008. Says Bethesda's Pete Hines, Bethesda's PR point man: "Yes, that's in-engine (in-engine means it's done with game assets in our rendering engine, but isn't done real-time. If it was done in real-time, that'd be gameplay footage. This isn't something, for example, that was sent to some house [e.g. Blue Studios] so they could build assets and render it out, and create something for us to release [e.g. Dawn of War 40K intro cinematic]). Yes, that's The Ink Spots singing "I Don't Want to Set the World On Fire" Yes, that's Ron Perlman [voiceover man extraordinaire of Fallout 1 and 2]." The official site doesn't have a lot more in the way of detail than that.

Nice choice of music.

"I Don't Want to Set the World On Fire" by The Ink Spots. It was supposed to be a title track for Fallout 1, but Black Isle couldn't get the license.

A conical plot? What is that supposed to be?

Plot = 1/3pr^2h

Or as expressed in English: one common starting point, multiple avenues of plot advancement. The first two games were renowned for the fact that you could become.. a bare-knuckled kung fu master that slaughters every child they come across and is reviled by all... Or a pistolero do-gooder working to 'thwart the evils' of the world and fight organized crime in all forms... (etc) Yet at the end of the game accomplish the same 'scripted' goals.

I feel quite ashamed to be the one to point this out, but a clip from that song was also used in an old Megadeth song... which happened to be about the aftermath of nuclear war.
