Fallout 3 Preview

I'm really looking forward, to this game, I never got into the origionals, but really liked the concept. When I treied to get into Fallout 2 not too long ago, I couldn't get over the aging graphics and poor UI. It looks like the next in the series will be sh*t hot!

In the demo shown, Todd Howard used V.A.T.S. to fire off a round at a Super Mutant, aiming right for the poor bastard's soon-to-be-exploded noggin. As the bullet left the rifle, the camera zoomed in on the target and spun around to get the best view of the impending carnage. As the round meets its mark, the Super Mutants head erupts into what seems like hundreds of chunks, and Howard pointed out an individual eyeball that made its way out of the Mutant's skull and into a pile of rubble. All of the death sequences in this game play out much like this, and will vary depending on the enemy, the part targeted, and the weapon. The easiest way to describe it, in Howard's own words, would be "crash mode from Burnout ... with body parts."

Sounds good!
