Bethesda was another developer who grabbed the MS E3 Press Conference as a great opportunity to showcase its Game of the Year 2008 contender, Fallout 3. Bethesda’s head honcho Todd Howard took the audience through a nearly five-minute-long gameplay demonstration, showing the game in motion for the first time ever in public.

The walkthrough reveals that players will be able to switch between third-person and first-person perspectives, depending on their liking. Unlike Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion which utilized a simplified method of placing a character model in front of the first-person camera as the third-person perspective, swapping from one to the other in Fallout 3, and vice-versa, results in entirely different visual representations. Aiming also has two different options – you can either aim manually or let the game zoom in on specific body parts of enemies at the press of a button and fire off that nasty nuke.
