In a recent interview, Fallout 3 executive producer Todd Howard revealed the game is scheduled for simultaneous release on PC, Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 later this year.
Bethesda's previous title, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, was released for Playstation 3 a year after it was shipped for PC and Xbox 360.
Howard then expressed his believe that Fallout 3 would transcend the traditional borders between RPG and FPS games.
"I like to think of RPGs as the best genre-blenders, in that you can do anything in them. No type of interaction is off limits and you can have action parts, puzzle solving parts, or anything else," he explained.
"When you're making a shooter, you never ask 'can the player get married and have kids?' When you're making an RPG, that type of thinking goes on all the time, so while it may look like a shooter, I think that dramatically undersells what the game does."
Howard also admitted that the published number of 12 Fallout 3 endings " is artificially inflated, in that what you get at the very end is based on a number of things you've done. Some of those tweaks to the ending are pretty small, so I think it's better to simply say the game has multiple endings based on what you did", he stated. "Some of the really big decisions that affect the end you make right at the end, but some of them deal more with your karma, and how you've lived your life".
