Original Fallout Developers Talk Fallout 3

A few comments have been made on Bethesda's Fallout 3 by original Fallout lead programmer/producer Tim Cain and lead developer Chris Taylor, both of whom have apparently pre-ordered the sequel. Tim Cain comments to Edge:
"I've hardly thought about [what I'd do different] with Fallout 3," said Cain, "but I have thought about the online version. I've also talked to the guys at Interplay about Fallout Online.

"The biggest problem I have with expanding the game is that the original games were designed to make you feel like you were one of the last people left on Earth. And with Fallout 3 and the online version, I'm curious about how they'll handle making the game not feel too crowded--making it feel like there's not much life left out there after the war."
While Chris Taylor is even more reluctant to comment on the official Interplay forums:
Personally, I have the deluxe edition of FO3 on order from Amazon. I can't wait for my PIPBoy clock... ^_^ I think Bethesda has done a tremendous job with the marketing, and, frankly, I'm jealous of what resources they have put into FO3.

As for the game itself, I'm reserving judgment until I get a chance to play it. Videos and images aren't enough for me to make a decision about gameplay... I need a hands-on experience. I am looking forward to playing FO3 as soon as it comes out.
