KDStudios Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 (edited) Hey there folks,I was tinkering around with Fallout 3 like usual, exploring the files and editing them away just because I was bored...And I came across something... Peculiar...It is most definitely early images of the Pipboy while in development.It is VERY different from the one you see in both Fallout 3 and New Vegas. As you can see in the images, they were very different, with many awesome features. The pipboy looks absolutely fantastic even if the colour may be a bit too "harsh".So without any more delays, I present to you... The Cut Pipboy 3000 Quests:http://imageshack.us/a/img338/6449/tempquests.jpg Radio:http://imageshack.us/a/img268/2871/tempcom.jpg Local Map:http://imageshack.us/a/img13/9186/templocalmap.jpg Notes:http://imageshack.us/a/img849/6162/tempnotes.jpg World Map:http://imageshack.us/a/img651/5341/tempworldmap.jpg So... Tell me what do you think? This is legitamate content by Bethesda. Find it in the Textures.bsa by searching for 'temp_' and you will find them.

skynet424 Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Blimey m8, god knows why this was replaced with the crappy one they ended up giving us.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidYokosukaJapan Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 The radio and world map look better but honestly I think it's kinda got a "Crysis" vibe going for it. Not saying that's a good or bad thing, just my take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying that's a good or bad thing, just my take.Yeah I was thinking that when I first saw it, but besides the colour that's all I saw that was similar :P My eyes hurt from that color.. The only good thing about this.. is the map. But the rest.. not so much Yeah the colour is incredibly harsh. I'm glad they changed that.Still, would have been very interesting to see what everything would be like.This makes the Pipboy look like a very basic gadget, so many little details in these images unlike the Pipboy in game.

7thsealord Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Extremely interesting. Thanks for showing this to us. Like others, I don't care for the colour but really do like the map and radio interfaces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm slowly getting you to like more of it, I've already got you to like the radio now ;) Extremely interesting. Thanks for showing this to us. Like others, I don't care for the colour but really do like the map and radio interfaces. Yeah it's baffled me for a few days now, I wonder if anyone else has found this.I've contacted a few of the developers to see if they could shed any light on it but not received anything back yet :/I agree, the colour is far too hard on the eyes. But if only they made a video showing the interfaces doing their job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidYokosukaJapan Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 You know, someone's going to take the screenshots you posted as an idea and make a "the secret original pipboy" mod ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxlRocks Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 If something is leftover from alpha/beta stages, or left unfinished in someway, in basically any game, I'm so super interested in it. Always have been, so I've seen a lot of Fallout 3's beta/cut content documented on various very in-depth sites (not the Fallout wikia) and I'm pretty sure you're right, this hasn't been documented before, and what a find it is! Looks like the Virtual Boy version of a Pipboy thanks to that neon red lol A video of it in action would be great, assuming it isn't just an early mockup. If you find out anything else, please let us know. There's a site I could link you to which I find the absolute best for documenting this kind of thing (already has very good F3, NV, OB, and Skyrim sections), if you want. Thanks for sharing!
