We discover how Bethesda is reinventing the series

Friday 29 June 2007
Fallout 3 will offer first-person and an over-the-shoulder (think Resi 4) viewpoints, and will feature an innovative and probably fan-pleasingtargeting mode that mixes real time action with stop-time decision making.

When faced with enemies, you'll be able to pause the action and take aim. Perhaps you'll blast the nearest guy's hand so he can't quickdraw his pistol, then cap another enemy in the bonce before sending a few shots ata distant target to force them behind cover.

Once you've made your choices, you flick back to see the real-time resolution of your violent intent, according to an article in the latest Official PlayStation Magazine, on sale from next Monday.
