Fallout 3

[Criminal]

I just saw the fallout 3 trailer...looked pretty damn cool! Has anyone played the previous fallouts i'm curious as if they are any good.

I played both of them and found them quite appealing tbh.
The whole end time scenario was a huge bonus of course, but the game wasn't bad... Did you ever play Jagged Alliance? It's much like that. You equip your group, you recruit new members, you kill enemies, you fulfill tasks and quests... and very RPG-like, you even improve the abilities of your team members.

Cool concept almost sounds like Stalker took from them a bit

So its not really a FPS at all is it...its like a top down view RPG just set in a post apocaliptic world am i right?

Exactly, just the perspective isn't straight from above, but diagonal...

Looks like the post-apoc mmo I've been designing for years has competition 
Sort of.  I think the differences may be far enough that they may not compete for the future market.   Though I'm sure anything I design won't be in development till after the release of the Fallout mmo in 2010.  What is this MMO you may ask?  Ask and I may tell...  Though Ill give away more on TS.  I don't want to give things away becasue I have to protect my IP by law.
