Speaking to VideoGamer.com at a recent roundtable interview in London, Bethesda Softworks vice president Pete Hines has confidently declared that Fallout 3 is a better game than the highly praised The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.
Asked directly if he felt the review scores for Fallout 3 will beat those of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, Hines wasn’t to be drawn on Fallout 3’s review scores, but did express his confidence in the game.
“I don’t have any doubts that on the whole, and I think this is a belief universally shared on the team that Fallout is a better game,” said Hines. “But we’re also not oblivious to the fact that we have a lot of extra baggage that we’re carrying, being the guys picking up this franchise, that are re-imagining this series from 10 years ago, and there’s something that comes along with that. We’re very well aware of what we’re up against.”
He added: “I have no doubts in my mind that, at its core and for everything that it provides that Fallout is a better game than Oblivion was. For sure.”
Fallout 3 is scheduled for release on PC, Xbox 360 and PS3 this autumn.
