Not much information has been revealed yet, however, through interviews and the trailer IGN has found some of the first info on Fallout 3. Bethesda's V.P. of Public Relations and Marketing refused to comment on the perspective they will be using, though IGN suspects that it will either play in first person, or over-the-shoulder third person. It is tenatively scheduled to be released in fall of 2008.
