  • Fallout: Vegas, now with more Obsidian, "Holy shit the family reunion megatonz!"



    Fallout: New Vegas
    Developer: Obsidian (created by many former interplay members, who have worked on fallout 1 and fallout 2)
    Publisher: Bethesda
    Release Date: Fall 2010


    Introduction

    War. War never changes.


    Fallout: New Vegas is an upcoming role-playing video game developed by Obsidian Entertainment and published by Bethesda Softworks. While New Vegas is not a direct sequel, it will use the same engine and be in the same style as Fallout 3, and is being developed by some of the people who worked on previous Fallout games at Black Isle Studios. It will be set in and around post-apocalyptic Las Vegas. It has a projected release date of Fall 2010 and will be available on the PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

    Teaser trailer

    Trailer here: http://www.gametrailers.com/video/de...lout-new/61576

    Game Play Information (Updated February 2010)


    - There is an optional hardcore mode, the character needs to drink water, ammo has weight, healing isn't instant etc. Normal mode is more similar to Fallout 3 gameplay.

    - The storyline is focused on the New California Republic vs. Caesar's Legion vs. New Vegas residents.

    - You are not a vault dweller but are given a Pip-Boy by someone who is one.

    - There is a screenshot of a vault suit as well.

    - There is an assault rifle looking like the M4, as well as a new big gun with a backpack, held like a minigun.

    - There are special moves for melee weapons in VATS - specifically a move for a golf club called "Fore" which seems to be a groin shot.

    - The Hoover Dam is in the game and is supplying electricity to the city.

    - There is a quest to rescue a ghoul from some super mutants. The ghoul can then become your companion

    - The Geckos are back.

    - There are both dumb and intelligent super mutants, including the elite Nightkin.

    - Some super mutants look similar to the ones in Fallout 3, while others are new. There is e.g. a female super mutant with a 1950s hairstyle who apparently is one of their leaders.

    - Screenshots include a guy with a beard and straw hat, a ghoul an NCR Ranger

    - The only picture of New Vegas itself is concept art and not a screenshot

    - Some location screenshots include a huge model dinosaur advertising a hotel, some satellite dishes, an array of solar panels

    - A character generation shot showing a "vigour machine" instead of the skill book

    - NCR base is the McCarran Airport, Caesar's Legion is based in the Vegas Strip, while super mutants are based in a place called Black Mountain. There is also a town called Fremont and another called Primm. A topless reuve is mentioned as being in the latter.

    - NCR Ranger armor is similar to a brown combat armor with sleeves, there are concept arts of a Ranger

    - Skils have a bigger effect on conversation choices. E.g. someone with a high Explosives skill may be able to have a coversation about explosives where appropriate.

    - There is a Reputation system in adition to Karma.

    The list is being updated as new details are being mentioned in the forum.

        Eggh. Why am I not excited?

        Seriously, I want to be, I really do, but for some reason I'm not. Then again, I wasn't interested in Fallout until release.

          ...does this mean we'll get a real ending with the game this time, not a fake ending where I can't even get the real ending because I own the game on the wrong system? Please? Pretty please? Yes, damn right I'm bitter. My ass still hurts.

          Still, this sounds promising. More Fallout is neve...wait, I just remembered Brotherhood of Steel. Alright, it's not usually a bad thing.

            That's awesome news, Fallout 3 was the best game of 2008 IMO.

                Vidi Vini Vini. I saw. I came. I came again!

                Now, if they include some of the Van Buuren stuff in, too, I'll be a happy man.

                  Will this game also suffer from cut content that could have improved the game tenfold if it hadn't been rushed for Christmas?

                  J/K. Honestly, I'm interested to see what Obsidian does with this, and the trailer was pretty cool. Besides, New Vegas at least sounds a little less monotonous than the Capital Wasteland.

                      Updated the introduction page. The logo itself is just a nostalgia trip lane back to the classic fallout titles. So good.

                        At least it's Obsidian and not another Bethesda game.

                          Hopefully Obsidian can tweak and fix many of the issues I had with the engine Beth's used in Fallout 3. The new additions (updated the information from PC Gamers in the first post) make it sound like a much better game, and spiritual successor to what the original Fallout 3 game was aimed to be. Bethseda, in my opinion, went down hill a lot after Elder Scrolls morrowind (that was a fine game, thanks to the heavy support of the mod community) and Fallout 3 wasn't up to my expectations as I first hoped it to be.

                            I just looked back at the first post and saw Ceaser's Legion, the Hoover Dam...it is Van Buren. IT LIVES!

                            For those of you who don't know, that was the code name to the canceled version of Fallout 3 with a ton of seriously cool shit in it. It ranked up there with 1.5 on my 'Really, really wanna play it' scale. But a ton was known about the game thanks to design doc leaks and the like.

                            So happy.

                              It's going to be a great time, Jon. We finally get to play "Fallout 3" and it's being created by the most of the original core team. Dreams do come true!
