Eurogamer’s RPGs of 2008

Eurogamer has an editorial up on the most promising RPGs of 2008, including Fable 2 and Fallout 3.

This PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 title is being developed by the makers of Oblivion and is set in a post-nuclear world. So you’ll be punching more radioactive mutants and fewer rats.

In fact, Fallout 3 is “a very different game” to Oblivion, according to Bethesda’s Peter Hines. “It’s EXP based, not skill based, it’s post-nuclear not fantasy, it’s guns not swords,” he told us last year.

Other features will include the option to choose a first- or third-person perspective and “unlimited” customer characterisation. There are moral choices to make as you progress. An assisted targeting system, tip-top AI and pretty pictures are promised, and Qui-Gon Jinn has signed up to star.
