Rats - that reminds me to upload the Spore videos and finish the Sims 2 review

Wednesday morning the Internet heated up with the possibility of a playable Fallout 3 demo. The flame was originally sparked over on the Bethesda Blog, where the developers listed what they are currently playing. Producer Craig Lefferty, Ashley Cheng, Pete Hines, Matt Grandstaff and Fred Zeleny all claimed to be playing Fallout 3; it was Matt Grandstaff’s offering that sparked hope in the eyes of the fans, saying “Fallout 3 demo - over and over again.”

However, according to Bethesda’s Pete Hines, there will be no demo. “We are on the record that there will be no demo for Fallout 3,” he told Tom’s Games. “Bunch of folks ran news items on it a few weeks ago based on an interview I did. [Matt is] playing the Fallout 3 demo we showed at E3. He was traveling and showing it to a bunch of retail folks that hadn’t seen it. He’s not playing an actual demo.”

Apparently, Tom’s Games wasn’t the only press site to question the blog entry. Hines edited Grandstaff’s blog entry and posted the following message: “Let me clarify that Matt is playing the original E3 demo we showed to the press over and over again as part of a trip to show the game to retail folks…he is not playing an actual demo, because there isn’t one and won’t ever be one. -Pete”

Curious as to why they were holding firm on the decision, one huge question came to mind and was emailed to Bethesda: with piracy of PC games to rampant, wouldn’t it be a good idea to release a demo anyway? It’s no secret that many people pirate games just to try them out when no demo is available.

Hines followed up with a prompt response. “We don’t build our games in section,” he told Tom’s Games. “They’re one giant…”thing.” It’s all tied together, and there’s no way to break it apart. So the only way we could release a demo is to release the full game and “section off” part of the world or something to limit how much you can do. No way in hell we’re doing that.”

And perhaps rightfully so. If Fallout 3 will be as massive as Oblivion, a demo would certainly be next to impossible to carve out a demo. Currently Fallout 3 is slated to hit the PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 this fall. Taking place 36 years after Fallout 2, the role-playing game thrusts players into the post-apocalyptic world of 2277. Players valiantly search for the protagonist’s father who ventured out into the wastelands for unknown reasons. Bethesda boasts that the game reached Oblivion standards in regards to size, and features over 10,000 possible endings.
