Fallout 3's better than Oblivion, says Bethesda

Speaking in London last week, Bethesda's Peter Hines has said categorically that Fallout 3 kicks Oblivion's ass all over town, girlfriend. He didn't really say that, but you know what we mean.

"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," he said. "For sure."

Hines added: "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.

"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 ten years ago, and there's something that comes along with that. We're very well aware of what we're up against."
