    Like Fallout 3 hasn't already done the Role Playing Shooter...

    Anyway, it's obvious 87 Bazillion is just a satirical number, seeing as how that isn't even a number. Also, did the tall muscly guy seem to be very stiff? In fact the whole group of them walking together just looked awkward...

      Or Bioshock.
      There's others too I can't recall. Killing Floor. Maybe more.

      The Bazillion is just a light-hearted way of telling people they have many guns. There are, howvever, apparently over 1,000,000 weapons due to an AI software that creates random weapons and different combinations.

      The tall guy with the muscles is called Brick and yeah, he does seem sort of stiff

      Just because Fallout 3 did it doesn't mean other companies can't take a shot at it. Especially considering that there's much room for improvement in Fallout 3, so I personally would love if more companies would take a shot at the genre.

      Like 87 bazillion other games haven't already done the FPS.

      Doesn't mean no other FPS has potential.

      "Millions and millions."
      I'd heard 500,000 previously. Eh.

      i heard over 1 million as well. and you can also build your own weapons too using different parts.

      they said they created a program that automatically created the millions of guns and combinations for them, using different kinds of metal and substances, and different parts of the gun that yield different results. that part sounds awesome. i hope you can name your weapons too.

        I'm just wondering though; how much different are they going to be? It wouldn't be much to boast if there are twelve variants of a pistol just because one tiny part is changed each time; then they really wouldn't differ all that much.

          parts that are made out of different materials will wear out at different rates, cause i imagine weapons will wear down like in Oblivion or Fallout 3. and with scopes for rifles you can have several different zoom ranges, different crosshairs in the scope, smaller or larger hole to look through, optional add ons like night vision, etc. for barrels you can have longer or shorter, more or less accurate, with or without a suppressor or muzzle break, etc. there are lots of different variables when it comes to guns.

    I'm wondering how many weapons you can hold or store in somewhere. Having millions of guns is going to be very interesting.

    This game looks pretty interesting. It has a lot of style. I'm looking forward to it, for sure.

    There's too many good games coming out in October! I'm going to have not buying anything until then to justify all the games I'll buy, haha.

      On the first time through, yeah, I laughed pretty good. Though what does he say? "Holy crap, I think I lost the beat!"
