Five things you didn't know about 'Fallout: New Vegas'

How much do you know about the next chapter in the Fallout series?

Oh sure, you're well aware it's out Tuesday, Oct. 19 from Obsidian Entertainment; the role-playing game takes place in the year 2281; and the redesigned V.A.T.S. targeting system now supports special attacks.

But if you're craving more info – something you can drop to your snooty friend who thinks they know everything about this series -- the following are five features of Fallout: New Vegas you probably didn't know, courtesy of Bethesda producer Jason Bergman.

Absolutely nothing to be honest. I mean, I know the game was announced way back but since then I didn't really give a damn to look into any details about it. No screenshots, previews, videos, nothing. Just all the more surprise and suspense for when I play it.

Hellsvacancy4969d ago

Good 4 u mofo my thoughts exactly, i know what im gonna get with Fallout Vegas (more of the same) which suits me FINE

ExplosionSauce4969d ago

Isn't it basically "Fallout 3 Part II: New Vegas"?
All I know is that this game will more than likely be good.

Mmmkay4969d ago

i just hope it's playable from day one...

PrimordialSoupBase4969d ago

Fallout 3 in the hands of a talented developer, essentially. Bethesda hasn't made a good game since Morrowind.

PrimordialSoupBase4969d ago

Coming from a bunch of children who have never played games from the likes of Black Isle or pre-console Bioware, disagrees are welcome and hilariously misplaced.

geth1gh4969d ago

whatever man, there games have only gotten better since morrowind. not saying morrowind wasn't a fantastic game though.

fallout 3 is defiantly at the top of my list for favorite rpgs atm though.

kaveti66164969d ago (Edited 4969d ago )

Obsidian, a talented developer.

Those assholes destroyed the Kotor franchise. They are nothing. They are a fucking smudge on the highest window of the tallest skyscraper of nothingness.

They fucking made alpha protocol. Oh what talent it must have taken to create a garbage wannabe of Mass Effect. They stole the dialog tree. They can't make a good game on their own to save their lives.

They haven't worked on a successful IP in years. They are complete nothings, riding on the success of somewhat well-received titles from almost a decade ago.

Fuck Obsidian. You can even see that they're not trying at all to make an original Fallout. They haven't changed much. They've only fixed some of the issues of F3 and they know how much they suck bawls so they didn't bother retooling the engine.

That's why New Vegas looks the same. Bethesda are keeping them on a short leash to make sure they don't fuck up the franchise. Obsidian is a parasite of the industry - the Uwe Boll of gaming.

visualb4969d ago (Edited 4969d ago )

everyone that enjoyed Oblivion / Fallout 3 = children

you ignorant *****

I also enjoyed Morrowind, but I enjoyed oblivion more because it was a more solid experience

its called opinions, just because you have one, it doesn't make everyone else a child

if anything, with comments like that, the only child I see here is you.

PrimordialSoupBase4969d ago (Edited 4969d ago )

Level scaling the the laziest way to make an rpg and it certainly ruined both Oblivion and Fallout 3. Not to mention the quality of writing and quests in both games is absolutely horrendous.

The challenge in modern Bethesda games ends at level 5 because by then the world and enemies have acclimated to your character. If you actually believe Oblivion is a good game then install it again and instead play the total conversion mod, Nehrim. That is how you balance and build an rpg. Everything is balanced with care rather than code and it makes for a far more involving game.

If you truly believe Fallout 3 is a better game than the original two, then you haven't played an rpg pre 2000. If you believe Oblivion is anything more than an upgrade in tech, then it's the pathetic standard to which you hold other rpgs - and that's a sadness.

geth1gh4968d ago

^^^

maybe so, but i feel like you are making the same argument that my grandfather makes about how every single movie today sucks compared to movies 50 years ago.

beauty is in the eye of the beholder. people adapt and move on to other things while some seem to cling on it as the world moves on.

Pen154968d ago

We got some cry babies here. Fallout 3 was great, and I'm 21. You must be 50 to call everyone else children.

5 things I didn't know.. Hm.

Emmettcelticfan4969d ago (Edited 4969d ago )

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.

Vits21d ago (Edited 21d 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.

darthv7221d 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.

Kaii21d ago

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

anast21d ago

Every game in the last 2 decades...

INMATEofARKHAM21d 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.

gunnerforlife20d 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.

S2Killinit20d ago

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

gunnerforlife20d 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!!

FPS_D3TH41d ago
