From what I've seen in these pictures, New Vegas is going to be quite a good and fun game. Looking awesome so far :)

Saaking5184d ago (Edited 5184d ago )

So is this gonna play like Fallout 3? I've barely even heard anything about this game, but I loved Fallout 3. Looks pretty good.

ThanatosDMC5184d ago

I just hope it's open world like Fallout 3 and we are allowed to kill anybody and anything... especially those kids. I hated those kids in Little Lamp for not letting me in.

zeeshan5184d ago (Edited 5184d ago )

^ Hahaha! That mayor kid had some serious attitude problem. Loved Fallout 3, can't wait for New Vegas! I am just sad that they *spoilers ahead* killed my character along with his mother who died in the beginning and then they also killed DAD. What a sad ending!

Just saw the scans. Ok this looks tooooo much like Fallout 3. Super mutants, the same old face (of an old man), seems like this time it will be VAULT 21. Even the armor looks the same. *SPOILER* I wonder if Enclave will resurface? I made it blow itself up lol

mistajeff5183d ago

@zeeshan

The enclave was supposed to have been done with for good at the end of Fallout 2, and since New Vegas has a lot of the same devs, I doubt they'll show up again. Brotherhood of Steel is supposed to be in the game, though, but they probably won't have a very powerful presence (like in Fallout 2).

Can you guys really understand what the article says? I can't discern much from the german.. is there any significant new info? I'm curious what that panel about weapon customization says

Pika-pie5183d ago

Looking forward to this. Its a shame Bethesda arnt working on it this time but hopefully thats because they are busy working on the next Morrowind game (E3 announcement fingers crossed!!!)

execution175183d ago

i'll probably pick it up if its not as buggy as Fallout 3 :( tis the reason why my 60gb YLOD from the game freezing every 20 minutes or so

I wish they would have changed the super mutants back to the way they were in the previous titles. Other than that this game's looking great! Here's hoping this game is everything Fallout 3 should have been...

and goddamnit they better have an ending that's more than 2 minutes long that actually tells you what happens because of your characters actions.

Eiffel5184d ago (Edited 5184d ago )

I enjoyed Fallout 1 and 2. But the oldies need to accept fate. What you wish would happen, most likely won't. I'm a fan of the franchise, but I enjoyed Fallout 3. I don't know I guess I'm a sucker for a good game.

At least the original minds behind the first two are on development with Fallout: New Vegas. Be happy for that at least.

Cartesian3D5184d ago

but damn !. . it looks like a PS2 game.. Fallout 3 had many bugs and glitchs even with those low quality graphics.. the AI was horrible.. the lighting was funny (flash light was like a circle of light around you without casting any shadow!!! even doom 3 had this tech)

the only thing i like about this game is gameplay and atmosphere.. hope to see improvement in enemy AI and polish.

SullyDrake5184d ago

It simply looks like Fallout 3 with no visual upgrades.

Dante's Inferno looks like a PS2 game.

STONEY45184d ago

It looks like they updated the lighting and textures. One of those screens has a comparison of Fallout 3 and New Vegas and the Super Mutant's textures looks much better now.

Cartesian3D5183d ago (Edited 5183d ago )

plz tell me you are joking.. just see this picture
http://www.playstationunive...

copy paste textures on walls and other surfaces. no self shadowing or any other lighting tricks, you can count the amount of polygons used for shaping the head .. etc

OMG one day I said Star ocean looks like sh!t (from magazine scans) and all people attack me for saying that..

now same people attack me for this game.. believe it or not Fallout looks LAST gen.. there is no LIGHTING in this game. just one surface simple shadow same as Gow2 from PS2 . anyone saw Red dead redemption? open world game with current gen lighting and better environment and character models ??

ok Im tired ..

aGameDeveloper5182d ago (Edited 5182d ago )

You may be right about the lighting (I wasn't entirely happy with it in Fallout 3, and this will probably look the same), but it's probably too early to judge the overall rendering quality, pre-release. This is especially true when judging low-rez full-page scans of the artifacts of the magazine printing process, of pages that were designed with some sort of annoying "burlap" effect.

Having said that, compromises in lighting are not entirely unexpected in a game that features a massive, unrestricted open world with a dynamic day-night cycle. Bethesda is respected for its gameplay expertise, not necessarily their rendering tech (while Oblivion looked great for its time, it was more of a graphics hog than it needed to be, in part due to its use of a generalized game engine, Gamebryo).

KonohagakureFC5184d ago

Hope he makes it over to vegas

ThanatosDMC5184d ago

Of course, he'll be there since he's the most reliable and strongest "hireling". I just hope we get his resurrection perk early.

It also looks like we can set how our hireling will act.

CRAIG6675184d ago

i only just found dogmeat and i would rather have stuck with fawkes to be honest?

wanderofys5184d ago

Dogmeat was kinda worthless. He died when I fast traveled :/

On the topic of the article, I like the direction they're going with the character models. Seems like there's a little more life in them.

slave2Dcontroller5184d ago

Fawkes was a Beast and I loved his war cry while he was mowing down enemies. Me and Fawkes were down like stocking caps N waves :D

I hear that Vegas is supposed to be up and running so that should be sweet if you wanna gamble. I'm curious to know if VATS will remain in place or are they going for another style of battle. Either Way, this game will be in my PS3 day 1.

Games That Were Bad on Release, But Are Now Great

BLG writes, "Some of the most popular games have had a rough start, with some of them being downright unplayable.

Despite that, developers have managed to turn it around for them and make their game worth playing. Here are some games that had a rough start but were pretty great."

Good list..hoped to see Street Fighter 5 there..and it is.

Vits4d ago (Edited 4d ago )

Sea of Thieves... I'm not disagreeing that the game has improved in terms of content. But I feel that the most significant change between now and its release is actually the public perception. Nowadays, most people are aware that the game is a multiplayer PvP-focused experience first and foremost, and not "Black Flag made by Rare". Consequently, people dismissing the whole experience because the single-player aspect is lacking or the story is plain are much less common.

darthv724d ago

Several years ago, i submitted an idea to Rare that would change up the mechanics of battling opponents in the game. whereby if you died in battle, you turned into a skeleton warrior and had to fight your way back to the land of the living. It was an interesting twist on respawning and would allow the player to experience both sides of a battle.

I keep hoping to see something like that get added to the game.

Kaii4d ago

They consider FO 76 & ME Andromeda to be great now 🤭

anast4d ago

Every game in the last 2 decades...

INMATEofARKHAM4d ago

It's sad that this quick retort is more often than not true... The industry's acceptance of release and patch has gone too far.

gunnerforlife3d ago

Days gone! By the end of the game I couldn't drop it down! I went around so many hours killing zombies! It was addictive by the end.

S2Killinit3d ago

That game was just plain good game. It didnt improve, it was just good.

gunnerforlife3d ago

I don't know, I got it abit late, and struggled for a few days, and then all of a sudden it just got good!!

Fallout Anthology Edition Looks Pretty S.P.E.C.I.A.L.

The Fallout Anthology Edition is coming to PC very soon, and is packaged with some very S.P.E.C.I.A.L. bonuses.

-Foxtrot25d ago

It’s an awful downgrade to the last one they did

They included physical disc back then

ocelot0724d ago

Forgot I ordered this until I got the dispatch email.

FPS_D3TH24d ago

I want the first two games to come to iPhone/android

Friendlygamer24d ago (Edited 24d ago )

I would love the classic fallout games on console. Closest I could find was atom rpg, I liked that one a lot

saint_seya23d ago

I though it was a new Killzone when i saw the image, looks like a hellghast..
