Fallout: New Vegas

[Maiqdabomb undefined]

I've seen the teaser, and the speculation on the officials. Even if the "old Interplay" is making the game, it's still on Fallout 3's engine, and personally I think it'll be like a really big Fallout 3 DLC.


EDIT: I found the PC scans, I know you can be banned for linking this on the officials, so notify me if it is so here too.

Actually.. I take that back. I can see this game being better than Fallout 3. Especially since Obsidian is pretty much the remnants of Interplay.

Now there is female ghouls AND female Super Mutants... rule 34 is going to sour...

Besides the obviously unpleasant implications here... Looks like this could be interesting. As long as the old devs had a hand in what's here. If it's all Bethesda's nonsense, then it won't be worth getting.

[Maiqdabomb undefined]

True... I heard they took away the green glow that was in everything in Fallout 3.

[Shade the Bandit no longer at loose ends!]

Curses...  Yet another Fallout 3 DLC that I will feel a ridiculously irrational compulsion to buy.

[Maiqdabomb undefined]

Unless you were exaggerating... it's a full game.

[Wolf undefined]

I don't know.  i read somewhere that fallout took 10ish years ( think about how they really do put every tin can in cells )to make and this game is only going to take two or three years...  Seems like a little rush.

They are using the Fallout 3 engine, graphics, and, well everything utility wise. All they're doing is adding new weapons, VATs options, meshes and textures, voices, characters, factions etc.

[Wolf undefined]

So is the continum of fallout 3

[Maiqdabomb undefined]

Pretty much. But made by the original devs, so I think it'll stay closer to the old FO lore than FO3 did.

The gamebryo engine, which is also used in Morrowind, Oblivion and Fallout 3

And about Obsidian; Obsidian is found by the former members of Black Isle Studios.

It looks like just a continueing of Fallout 3. I wonder what the role of "Oscuro" is. The Oscuro from the oblivion mod Oscuro's Oblivion Overhaul is now employee of Obsidian Entertainment so it seems.
I only hope Obsidian doesn't introduce too many bugs, as with NWN 2 was the case. The patching of NWN2 takes a little while now. Still a great game though.
New Vegas looks good from what i see.

I thought Oscuro was on Bethsoft, not Obsidian?

Jorge Salgado, which is Oscuro, is an employee of Obsidian Entertainment.
It seems he does the game design.

[Maiqdabomb undefined]

Oscuro is like the Fligg of OB Modding, isn't he?

Considering I'm a resident of Vegas, this should be very interesting. I wonder if their rendition of Black Mountain will look anything like the real thing. Seeing what they do to McCarren Airport will be very interesting, as well as Primm. I'm a little disappointed that Nellis AFB wasn't mentioned. Would be a great place to stock up on gear, as well as a few battles.  Will be fun to see if I can find my neighborhood.

New Vegas seems pretty cool and has some new features, but the environment, weapons, etc. still have a very Fallout 3-look to them IMO, but that can't be avoided since it's still using the same engine and still based on a wasteland environment.

I'm sure the gameplay would be quite different (and hopefully better) though, and that's what matters in the end.

[Maiqdabomb undefined]

Looking at the wikia, there's going to be C4 with a detonator. This deserves a nanar. Also, weapon modifications are confirmed and viewable for some guns already.

FO3 has actually been pretty good about locale, so far. I live in the area from the base game and have been to almost every map marker in real life (although I haven't found Rock Creek Caves, seems the park is still there ). It's all more or less accurate. Scale is off, but otherwise it's not bad at all.

Awesome. C4 with a detonator is always fun. I want to see what they do with it, though, and how well it's handled. It's usefulness in a Bethesda-Gamebryo game would be limited, just an anti-personnel thing.

Imagine if they made Fallout 4 on the GeoMod 2 engine... Vehicles, explosives, demolition and post-nuclear awesomeness. It would be the game of the century (if we had Daggerfall-era Bethesda and Obsidian team up to make it, preferably produced by THQ, maybe through in the VtMB developers for dialogue/characters).

[Tabris]

Since TES V hasn't been announced yet, this is my biggest game anticipation as of now. To me, the FO3 similarity isn't a drawback as I really liked that game.

[Wolf undefined]

Current release date is Fall 2010, subject to change by the way.

[Tabris]

Yup, can't wait.  

[Wolf undefined]

Will the Fallout: New Vegas Version of the GECK ship with the game, or be downloadable on release?

JS: Yes. In addition to the normal GECK functionality F3 modders have come to expect, the F:NV GECK will allow modification of ammo lists, ammo subtypes, the hardcore "basic needs" rates, and a lot of the other new bits of data we have added. It will also contain the F:NV dialogue editor, which can be used with or without the standard F3 dialogue editor.

What does this mean?  You cannot answer yes to a _____ or _____ question.

[Maiqdabomb undefined]

October 10th I believe is the release date. Can't wait.

Have it on pre-order. Collectors Edition looks nice.  Platinum "lucky 38" chip would make for a nice keyring too.

I'm looking forward to it, and hoping that with the introduction of Steam they're stripping it of GFWL sans 360 controller support.
