Fallout Tactics preview and interview!

Post by Kreegle »

<strong>[ -> Interview]</strong>

Welcome to bizarro world, kiddies! It's a world where up is down, hot is cold, and Chuck Cuevas is the producer of the highly anticipated new PC game, <b>Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel</b>!
<br>
<br>According to this <a href="http://www.gamezone.com/news/08_20_03_12_05PM.htm" target="_blank">interview</a> over at Gamezone.com, "Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel is a combat-oriented PC game from Interplay." Good to know! The screenshots look quite promising too... check it out:<blockquote><center><img src="/news/tacticsyouwot.jpg"></img></center></blockquote>Nice! Here's a brief snippet from the interview:<blockquote><em><b>Q: Will the game feature any kind of multiplayer capabilities on either platform?</b>
<br>
<br>Chuck: BoS is designed either a single player game or a co-op game. Two players can start the game or import a player to play with a friend, a spouse or a loved one. Having someone watch your back (or stab you) is an added pleasure for Brotherhood of Steel. Currently, the game supports the ability to toggle on or off friendly fire - that is until you reach the most difficult level, where friendly fire always hurts. This level is extremely challenging.</em></blockquote>Interesting, that sounds... wait a second... what does he mean, either platform?! But it's a PC game isn't it? Bugger me, this shit's too confusing... go <a href="http://www.gamezone.com/news/08_20_03_12_05PM.htm" target="_blank">over here</a> if you think you can make sense of it all.
<br>
<br>Oh, and let's all give a round of applause to the bright spark who thought the name "Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel" wouldn't bewilder people! Spotted at <a href="http://www.bluesnews.com" target="_blank">Blues News</a>.

Funny fucking shit. It's a huge fuckup. Sometimes I wonder how drunk these people are when using a computer.

Holy SHIT that interview makes me want to kill myself hard.

Let's quote, shall we?

"As for humor? Most of the fun comes from the conversations the player will overhear or engage in with the inhabitants of the wasteland. Raiders complaining that killing is too hard and giving him cramps to Ghouls more interested in their scabs then the ritualistic sacrifice of a poor defenseless human. The humor is dark and just a little twisted."

That's not dark humour! What the fuck!? That's toilet fucking humor, there's nothing dark about picking goddamned scabs! 30 dollars says they have fart jokes too. Fucking sluts! Damn it to hell. The only dark thing in that entire travesty of an answer is the ritualistic sacrifice, and mistah class a cunt licking ass slut cuevas doesn't even realize it.

"Question: This game takes place on a post-apocalyptic world known as Fallout. Is Fallout a parody of or another name for Earth? What makes Fallout different from Earth? Who gets the credit for coming up with this mutated societal environment?"

Answer: You're fucking retarded.

Ow. My brain hurts. I wanted to sleep but I think I broke something in my head reading that article.

"Anytime a player can whip out his piece and blow off the head of an enemy has got to be described a gritty"

It could be a troll. It would be a laugh if they had an email exchange from Interplay's PR dept trying to explain the difference between two very similarly named titles.

The odd thing is that screen shot does not look familiar at all. I don't recall that particular location from any of the maps and the names are even different. Maybe it wasn't a mistake???

I cannot understand your apprehension about FOT:BOS. Mr Cuervos is doing an excellent job on the voice acting or whatever the hell he does, and your TB/RT concerns are totally unfounded. Oranges and pears, people.
