Fallout 3 Interview

[GameBanshee News]

Venture Beat has interviewed Todd Howard, mostly talking about sequels and franchises.

VB: I understand that most of the new information on the game will be revealed at E3, but from a big picture perspective, what were your goals going into “Fallout 3”?

TH: We really liked the early “Fallout” games, and we thought that world was so awesome. We loved its whole retro 1950s shtick, where everything’s been destroyed and everyone’s close to death and there are super mutants and crazy weapons, but the people are still brushing their hair like June Cleaver or something. We thought that world mixed with the technology we have and the way we make our games, it was a world that we felt no one had ever played in. You could get up close to it. We tried to branch out and do a different style of game than we had done before. We do some things with really crazy combat.
