Gamers of old have many fond memories of the Fallout series. Finally, after years of waiting, news of the third installment have been escalating everyone's anticipation.

In an interview with Bethesda VP of Public Relations Pete Hines, he talked about the difficulties of continuing the Fallout legacy while putting in their own spin to the series. Hines said that Bethesda didn't want to go half-baked on any developments they may reveal about Fallout 3, no matter how much they wanted to.

The transition to the FPS-type of perspective that the Elder Scrolls series is known for will also be something that the old gamers will have to get used to. However the overall tone of the game will still stick to the canon of the Fallout universe.

Pete Hines had this to say when asked what made them decide to work on Fallout:

It had this great 1950s vibe and sensibility, but set in a post-nuclear world where things were blown to hell and people were doing anything to survive - but they still cared about their hairstyles.

It just that dark comedy and humor. Also, it was a really violent game, and it's nice to be able to do something that is a complete break from the Elder Scrolls. We can't do another fantasy game, because then it's just going to be too similar to Oblivion.
