Fallout 3 Trailer Available Online 110
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.
Finally! More single player games! (Score:5, Interesting)
I'm just not into those damn MMORPGs so it has been a bad few years for me. However, with the announcement of Starcraft 2 and now Fallout 3 being imminent, I'm quite excited.
Am I the only person in the world who likes single player games anymore? Seriously all I hear about are MMO games.

VitrosChemistryAnaly, I strongly suggest you look into Bioshock, it's a first person RPG/Shooter/Survival horror hybrid by much of the team that did System Shock (which you should also look into if you haven't played them). I have very high hopes for this game (shipping August this year on PC/XBOX360) on the basis of the history of the team. I really hope they can get some success this time, they really deserve it. System Shock 2 got killed by the release of the original Half-Life. The original by the release of Doom II. The same company also created the Thief series. Also, I don't work for them, I'm just a fan.

Turn-based... (Score:2, Interesting)
I've always felt that turn-based combat is what's really lacking in most modern games that disappoint... there are people that play tennis, and there are people that play chess; both great games, but the people who are drawn to crpgs tend to be looking for something a little more like chess, imo.
I play these games to relax and escape... being able to sit and think about my next move, is a luxury unavailable in real-life most of the time.
Here's hoping for turn-based combat remaining in the game.
peace
Re:Who cares about game "trailers" (Score:3, Interesting)
Remember that we're not talking about just some game and its gameplay here. We're talking Fallout, which is a game where style and atmosphere is vital. Lots of people were afraid that Bethesda wouldn't be able to get that across, and this trailer lets them show that they "get it". For just some random action game, trailers and pretty movies are meaningless, but in this case and at this moment, a stylish trailer to show the atmosphere is a great idea. Because that's what Fallout is about.
