360 - Fallout 3 - 'Not much' fan feedback used in Fallout 3 development Speaking in an interview with VideoGamer.com, Bethesda Softworks vice president Pete Hines revealed that the developer instead prefers to rely on internal feedback.

Hines told VideoGamer.com that "you have to take feedback from the people who are actually playing the game".

When asked how much the series' protective fan base figured in the development of the game, he replied: "Not much. When you're designing a game, you have this group of people on the inside who are working on it every day and who know everything about the decisions that are being made. You don't just take a chunk of that, throw it out to the community and say, "We don't know how this question works, so let's ask the fans". You're working and changing every day - it's a constant, fluid process. It's not like we say, "Okay, everything is done now, let's see what they say then go back and change it."

360 - Fallout 3 - Bethesda: Multiple Censorship Laws 'Frustrating' Pete Hines, product manager for Fallout 3 has said developing a game to suit the varying censorship needs of different countries is "frustrating".

Hines refused to talk specifically about the issues Fallout 3 faced with Australian censorship last month. But, on the topic of censorship in general, he told CVG: "The frustrating thing for us is that the standards and rules can be so varied across territories, that we work with five or six ratings agencies and each one has different 'hot buttons'."

He went on to explain: "In one place nudity is a big deal but violence is fine, and in another place drugs are a problem but nudity is fine.

360 - Fallout 3 - Awesome Fallout 3 Propaganda: Vault Dweller's Survival Guide Shacknews writes: "Remember those old Fallout manuals? The ones with the taped-over hints and 50s-style dark humor? The original Vault Dweller's Survival Guide?

Bethesda has channeled all of that in their PAX 08 swag hand-out for Fallout 3: a thick, pulpy booklet full of illustrations and informative blurbs. It's basically Bethesda's take on Black Isle's original concept, and boy, is it awesome.

This thing even has an old school map that you can fill in as you explore the world, as well as a few pages of blank note space. It's very cool - and you can check out the whole shebang below."

360 - Fallout 3 - Fallout 3 Censorship Report - Find out what got cut from the Aussie version IGN writes: "And so, the epic saga comes to a close - Fallout 3's OFLC report has been made available to IGN AU; the contents outline the reasons behind the reassessment of Bethesda's post-nuclear RPG in Australia by the classification board.

The biggest points to take away with you are that the essential nature of drug use in the game has not been altered dramatically:

'The drugs depicted are fictional; drugs are depicted as stylised icons on a menu with the drug use itself not depicted. Whilst navigating a post-apocalyptic futuristic landscape, players can invoke the use of a variety of "chems" listed by fictitious names which include "Buff", "Rad-X", "Psycho" and "Ultrajet". Within the context of the game's narrative, the player may choose to make use of these "chems" to alter the physiological characteristics of their character in the game.'"

360 - Fallout 3 - Fallout 3 Reclassified MA15+ in Australia "Huzzah!" XboxOZ360 reports:

Today the OFLC has revealed that Fallout 3 has been reclassified
for Australian standards to the MA15+ rating.

It is rated MA15 for: "Strong Violence, Drug Use, and Coarse Language"

Lets hope the alterations to the game are only just for the renaming of official drugs to fictional ones, and nothing more.

Rumor is that even with the earlier banning of the Fallout 3, we might still be recieveing the game around the same time it launches World Wide, so lets hope that us Aussies dont fall too far behind the rest of the gaming community!

What does this mean for us? It means we have faith in gaming developers that they will try and bring the games we are eagerly waiting for even if our rating system is flawed. It means that large developers are also pushing for a R18+ rating in Australia, and that can only be a good thing...

360 - Fallout 3 - Bethesda: 'Fallout is a better game than Oblivion' Speaking to VideoGamer.com at a recent roundtable interview in London, Bethesda Softworks vice president Pete Hines has confidently declared that Fallout 3 is a better game than the highly praised The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.

Asked directly if he felt the review scores for Fallout 3 will beat those of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, Hines wasn't to be drawn on Fallout 3's review scores, but did express his confidence in the game.

"I don't have any doubts that on the whole, and I think this is a belief universally shared on the team that Fallout is a better game," said Hines. "But we're also not oblivious to the fact that we have a lot of extra baggage that we're carrying, being the guys picking up this franchise, that are re-imagining this series from 10 years ago, and there's something that comes along with that. We're very well aware of what we're up against."

He added: "I have no doubts in my mind that, at its core and for everything that it provides that Fallout is a better game than Oblivion was. For sure."

360 - Fallout 3 - Fallout 3 Trophy support remains uncertain Speaking to VideoGamer.com at a recent roundtable interview in London, Bethesda Softworks vice president Pete Hines was unable to confirm if its upcoming post apocalyptic RPG Fallout 3 would feature PS3 Trophy support.

"I don't know. I can't tell you for sure whether or not we'll have them or not," said Hines.

It's a different story regarding Xbox 360 Achievements though, with Hines confirming that they are "mostly complete".

"... we still like to mess with that stuff sometimes in late stages, just in terms of 'yeah it's taking a little too long to get this one', which is why we didn't want anybody to look at them, because I wouldn't want you guys putting something out that we then changed and is completely different," said Hines. "Yeah, they're largely in there and there's some really good ones in there... some that I rather enjoy."
