[@NostalgiaNet8]

I miss the 360 era. It's so sad how backwards Xbox are nowadays. Especially after the news from today of them shutting down Arkane Austin, Tango Gameworks, and Alpha Dog Games.

[@JuicedOnKids]

"We want more Fallout & Elder Scrolls!" **monkey paw curls**

[@TNS-AudioMastering]

At the time Fallout 3 and microsoft management were separated... Bethesda back then had no direct reflection of xbox as a company..

[@drakeshotplays]

Some of those teams were moved to working at a different developer on more important titles for example Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Starfield, and Indianna Jones

[@przemyslaw_polak_93]

I cannot play games anymore due to chronic pains in arms, but I think I went through the best era of gaming - x360/ps3, Ps2. Gaming is not what it used to be anymore. Or maybe it is just nostalgia? Dunno

[@JJJBunney001]

To be fair, when was the last time arkane made a good game? Prey, nearly 8 years ago?

[@therealmitsui]

0:40 "He's just a baby" made me spit out a lung 😂😂😂😂

[@CyraXFactor]

That Oblivion theme is so damn good. It has more charm and warmth than any other theme I’ve ever heard. Gets me every time. So much ambience and atmosphere in Oblivion. Now I have to install and mod it for the 1,000th time.

[@mantisclarke9109]

Boy, that Redfall video from yesterday was well timed. lol

[@SubzeroBlack68]

Came straight to this channel because of the news lol

[@s3nate22]

Can't tell me dude doesn't have a connect inside, this is like the third time he's had "good timing".

[@ssj4cap]

Ngl, I sometimes rewatch the old Bethesda game presentations 😅

[@GremDisaster]

This trailer and live presentation was the exact moment i fell in love with Fallout/Bethesda. At this point i was only a JRPG gamer with very very light experience in fighters or DDR when i went to a friends house.. Fallout 3 was literally life changing and mind blowing, i had never seen anything like it!

[@SuperSikarlo]

Bethesda really lives off the hype of old games and trashy new ones to stay alive.

[@Kazamezo1]

13:00 They can absolutely still get away with it. People still think Todd is just a quirky gamer with big ideas and good intentions.

[@newagecinematics]

“fat man wouldn’t work today” well clearly it has cause it’s in every fallout game im even today lol

[@Jangtang]

It’s also named after a very real nuclear bomb America dropped on Japan during WW2.

[@newagecinematics]

@@Jangtang yup!

[@TheRealUcanUwill]

@@newagecinematics I mean, it's a joke, I think we all know what he meant. P.S. I forget how young Luke is, this guy has children... and he was a child still when this came out... To me, Fallout 3 is still rather recent, it came out years after 9/11, 9/11 to me feels like happened not too long ago, but half of professional sport athletes werent even born when 9/11 happened, freaking ridiculous. And yeah, about graphics. I remember seeing NBA LIVE 2005 for the first time, and though it was the most realistic thing I have ever seen. Now, looking back, OMG.

[@reelybaxton3612]

in lieu of the fallout tv show coming out i replayed fallout 3 on the steam deck and i enjoyed it thoroughly, the guns don’t feel as clunky as people say, the companions felt fun, and the random encounters are some of the best. Over all the game is now in my top ten and has way more charm then anything coming out recently. (no nostalgia blindness, i didn’t play the game when i was younger)

[@Lawry200]

The good old days 😊

[@Galiwarix]

I might be the only one who thinks this, but you can hear the enthusiasm in Todd's voice, the passion for what they created. And for me, that's what Fallout 3 was about. That's the reason why Starfield failed. The chess club did not win in Starfield's case. And I'm really sad. Games for nerds should stay that way. It made them so awesome, genuine, passionate. You don't need to please everyone. Just show what you love about it, and like-minded people will come to you. Hell, those were the days I long for, filled with wonder and discovery

[@shoff29]

I’m just realizing how much Todd Howard reminds me of Steve Carell lol. I could imagine Steve doing a great impression of Todd

[@Ekekeheh]

Fallout 3 is amazing

[@trenaceandblackmetal5621]

Underated

[@mygetawayart]

i think games from that era were so brown/gray/dull because it was the era when every other game was trying to up their graphical fidelity and they figured that, because the real world isn't all vibrant and colorful like in videogames from before, desaturating everything would make it look more realistic. TBH, at the time it did feel a lot more realistic when the games were all gray and desaturated but obviously now we don't see it that way anymore.

[@prozoomy]

ps2 and 360 era was so fun as a kid/teenager .

[@yeti112]

I think Todd's post apocalyptic faction would be the Pillars of the Community.

[@taylorp3685]

The coolest thing I remember about any video game growing up is the random Easter eggs that would be in them. I feel like Bethesda never really does this.. imagine if starfield took place in the same universe as Elder scrolls or fallout? Earth could be destroyed the way it is in starfield, but there should be random remnants of evidence what happened of a nuclear war on earth. Like by finding the Empire State building on earth you may be able to find a 10 mm pistol on top of it, that would be so fucking exciting to even find it over and over again. Or a world in the Starfield universe where Tamriel exists or did exist. This would’ve been a perfect opportunity for Bethesda to pull all their universes together. Whomp whomp.

[@Kelis98]

No radio? The radio is good

[@Talbonator2000]

Yeah, I don't know where he got that idea. Probably one of the most talked about features of Fallout games.

[@BadHombre1]

I think he was being sarcastic since alot of people complained last year because Starfield didn't have a radio. But idk lol

[@WizardOfAtlantis]

Both of those games were amazing at the time. It's shocking to see how our perceptions change with time (a la 18:24 vs now) and it's a rare game that can do stand up graphically for more than a handful of years (for me, Fallout 4 being one of the very rare examples; I can add more, but I don't 'need' it, unlike every older Beth game 'needs' it; then again it's their last big game minus SF and ThatWhich ShallNot Be Named).

[@gabrielarkangelo]

Is he not talking about how trash Sony is? Dude, quit being a fanboy, both Microsoft and Sony is trash nowadays.

[@LukeWarm612]

For me still thinking back, Oblivion when I bought my first 360.. bugs, loading screens and all.. is my favorite game of all time

[@reshypoo9447]

Maybe I just play too much Fallout, but really felt Starfield lacked for a supporting system like VATS. While they probably couldn't "get away" with copying it whole cloth, some kind of lore-friendly aiming system could have kept things a bit more fresh. As it is, it's Fallouts combat system, just... less. VATS is such a versatile system, well beyond how it appears at first glance. You can use it to detect and identify enemies and mines for a long range. Line up accurate shots without a scope. Cancel out at any time. Guarantee a perfect hit with the critical system. And even just slow things down if you ever overwhelmed. Did the Starborn powers added something similar? Honestly didn't get that far. I assume they're more like dragonborn powers. Also wish they hadn't ditched the "living NPC world" idea too. It added a lot to the gameplay, even just them going to sleep at night, letting you take advantage of assassination skills. Fo4 raiders were a bit shit in that regard.

[@Ramiobomb]

Man, Fallout 3 back in the day was the sh*t. I couldn't do anything besides light-sleep as a kid when I got my first copy of the game on my newly bought 2009~ PC.

[@jeremyscungio16]

1:00 felt like reloading a double barrel

[@vinnythewebsurfer]

Well this is all very funny to see with today’s news…

[@Th1sUsernameIsNotTaken]

The sad thing is Starfield fails because it seems like a step back from Skyrim/FO4. if it had exploration like either game, it 100% wouldn't have gotten the hate it did, and fans most likely would have written off the "jank" of the game because of it. But when exploration is pointless in your title about exploration.. lol

[@thisguyrighthere8502]

360 is still the peak of online multiplayer with Xbox live and playing Gow, Halo and Cod

[@Cdogttv]

oh god the lip thing..... i cant ever unsee it.

[@ViktorAndy]

The very first console i played on was the 360 and the very first game i played on it was GTA IV. My child brain was blown. Before that i had no experience with modern video games.

[@LifelessTooth]

I can't believe they spoiled the Enclave's appearance before the game even came out

[@The200Dragon]

Pretty sure that live demos aren't actually live gameplay. Most live demos are just pre-recorded gameplay video playing while the guy on stage just holding a controller that is not even connected.

[@Reds-Retros]

4:33 "...and if you did play those original ones I'm sure this was bafflingly cool, like... Oh my God it's an actual thing, wow!" Yep, this pretty much was me when seeing Fallout 3 for the first time. Been playing since the first and it's still me all these years later!

[@newagecinematics]

fallout 3 was my first bethesda game ever and I was absolutely amazed by it, i remember it took 2 week of my life disk to dawn as a kid 🤣 so to say it looks crappy or plays bad now is unfair when it should in todays standards. i really do hope there is a fallout 3 remaster because man it was fun, i also loved the dark vibes it brought, it was way more intense to me than the other fallout games

[@jeb791]

This was my first M rated game

[@stanzelot]

I remember playing Oblivion on the XBox360. The game was buggy as hell. The patches Bethesda released for the game on PC were not released for XBox360 so all 360 players played the game vanilla till the end. Yet, I totally enjoyed the game and played 250h with Shivering Isles" included. And yes, back then I thought this a full on simulation and not a videogame...

[@josephstrouse6369]

It was jank back then, its still jank now. MGS4, GTA IV, Gears of War 2, Fable II... all games that came out in 2008 and better graphically and technically then Fallout 3. Lets not call Fallout 3 cutting edge cause it wasn't then. Revisionist history doesn't do anyone any good.

Fallout 3 looked good for 2008? My dude, Fallout 3 isn't just ugly to today's standards it was ugly back then. In 2008 we had games like Spore, Mass Effect, Smash Bros. Brawl, Mario Kart Wii, Fable 2, Soulcalibur IV, DMC 4. All of those games looked great, some of those games still hold up today. Even games that shared the same color palate or urban environment put Fallout 3 to shame (Metal Gear Solid 4, GTA 4, Rainbow Six: Vegas 2) It was a FUGLY game when it released, no style, no fidelity, nothing interesting to look at.
