LOL I'm not an elitist, far from it, despite the disappointment Bioshock was in comparison to System Shock 2 I still enjoyed that game a LOT for example. I don't dislike console games at all (heck last gen I played a LOT more games on my PS2 than my PC), like I said, I just feel a new entry in a franchise should be kept to the same spirit and feel as the last entry, Fallout 3 looks good (I'll probably buy it), it just doesn't look like a Fallout game, in fact, it seems a lot like an action game with some RPG elements than anything else, it's not a bad thing, but it shouldn't be called Fallout 3.

It'd be like Bungie releasing Halo 4 and making it an incredibly complex and dialogue-filled RPG with strategic turn-based combat and stats, 1 hour cut scenes or whatever. It might end up being a good game but it wouldn't be Halo 4 and every Halo fan on the planet would likely be disappointed.

My thoughts are, just don't milk a franchise if you are not going to do justice to it, just create a new IP and everyone will be happier.

That being said, Fallout 3 might end up being a worthy Fallout 2 succesor, so I'm not going to jump to conclusions, I'm just saying what the videos and previews have conveyed to me.

Don't worry, I understood what you are saying and agree completely 😛

After what Bethesda did to TES, I'm not crossing fingers on this one.

I've preordered the CE of Fallout 3 already. But I still fully expect it to fail, I don't know what it is, but it's like a feeling in my gut that I just can't ignore. Everytime I look at a video or a screenshot or read an interview something just rubs me the wrong way about the whole thing.

At this point, all I can say is that I hope a Fallout 4 gets created and it uses the Dragon Age engine. I think that would be phenomenal.

I haven't been overly impressed with what I've seen. I love the story/concept, but the gameplay seems meh.

Yeah, I've had my worries after seeing the vids and well, because I didn't particularly find Oblivion fun after 5-10 hours.
