In a recent interview between HomeLAN and Feargus, there will be a Fallout 3. However, right now it looks like the game will have a 3D engine and REAL-TIME COMBAT! Check it out for yourself:
HomeLAN - It seems like there is always a new mention of fans wondering when Fallout 3 will start production. Why do you think this game series continues to generate much interest?
Feargus Urquhart - Ultimately, I think it is the feel of the world that really draws people to the Fallout games. It's a lot like how people are still drawn to certain movies like Blade Runner. The Fallout team did an extraordinary job of portraying a cohesive whole when it came to the world, the story, the inhabitants, and the game rules. Each item just reinforced the other and made people really feel like they were there.
HomeLAN - You recently announced that you want to get Fallout 3 under development at some point. Have you thought at all about what the general gameplay design will be like for the sequel?
Feargus Urquhart - That's a tough question to answer without having a horde of screaming people at my door asking for my head.  However, I can say what I've been saying for a while, which is that Fallout 3 will still feel and play a lot like the previous Fallouts. It will need to be a more modern game though in relation to how the game plays and the graphics engine involved. What I mean by that is that we will be using a 3D engine and there will most likely be a real-time combat mode. I know there are people out there that feel this ruins Fallout, but I think they will be surprised as to how well it works once they play it.

Yeah, well, two things are wrong with the vision for it right now:1) It's gonna be 3D. I fear that this will ruin the traditional Fallout 2D atmosphere.
2) This is the big one, it's gonna be Real-Time Combat. I liked F1 and F2 because you had the chance to think carefully about each move before doing it. You had to strategize. So many memorable battles just by using great strategy. In Tactics, no such thing as all I ever did was arm my guys, run into a room, and kick some ass. No sweat, but no strategy either. So with that said, unless these are changed, Fallout 3 will probably suck.

Yeah I agree, but Fallout 3 could be 3d and turn based at the same time, if that was done right it could be really cool, you know like burning oil drums and glowing nuclear sludge, more background noise, explosions, but the system could essentially be exactly the same.-------------------- What is new is always evil, being that which wants to conquer and overthrow the old boundary markers and the old pieties; and only what is old is good. The good men are in all ages those who dig the old thoughts, digging deep and getting them to bear fruit - the farmers of the spirit. But eventually all land is depleted, and the ploughshare of evil must come again and again. - Nietzsche
