Corris Veteran Posted February 4, 2010 Veteran Share Posted February 4, 2010 Release Date Announced! Today Bethesda announced when we'll be able to tour New Vegas. The follow-up to Fallout 3 will be available at retail on October 19 in North America and on October 22 in Europe. We'll have lots more breaking news coming out of E3 as the week continues, so stay tuned. IGN E3 Trailer! Orginal Post: Debut Trailer Embeded Youtube or view it at Gametrailers http://www.gametrail...llout-new/61576 Or on the Fallout site. http://fallout.beths...home/teaser.php Can't wait for it myself, Loved Fallout 3. I didn't play the original 2, so I'm not sure if the character shown is a throw back to one of those. But its nice to see a city that is up and running too, hopefully will be in the game, nice change from a complete wasteland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spookie Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 They put an embargo on this? Silly devs. Needs some gameplay. Curious to see how they have electricity. Comparison shots time! vs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LingeringSoul Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 Would have definitely preferred to see some actual gameplay, but then again, I feel that way about pretty much all CG-based trailers (unless they really blow me away like the Old Republic trailer). The music brought me back though. We need some more Three Dog (nevermind the fact that it would make no sense for Galaxy News Radio to be broadcasting all the way out there ;)).

scratch42069 Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 I can't wait for this game. I'm a big fan of the Fallout series so this will be a definite buy in the fall. Gameplay wise, I expect it to be very similar to Fallout 3 since it's being built with the same tools. With Obsidian working on it I hope the story will be as epic as Fallout 1 and 2.

metal_dragen Veteran Posted February 6, 2010 Veteran Share Posted February 6, 2010 I'm definitely ready for some more Fallout. I never got into the series until Fallout 3, but I really enjoyed it (to the tune of 150+ hours) and can't wait for more. By the way, New Vegas is a completely new game, and is not technically a sequel to Fallout 3. It will most likely be using the same engine, and of course, much of the same style.

I am more than ready too. :) Also if I read correctly a while back, New Vegas actually takes place at the same time as Fallout 3 does. But just obviously, somewhere else and being at Vegas and not a sequel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corris Veteran Posted February 6, 2010 Author Veteran Share Posted February 6, 2010 Apparently some info from PC Gamer. It seems that some subscribers have received copies of this month's PC Gamer early, and some of them are now posting details from the 6-page Fallout: New Vegas preview in Bethesda Softworks forum. Here is a list of things we suppodedly learn from the magazine (keep in mind that the info has not been verified yet): • 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. Area 51 also appears. • 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. Source: Fallout Wiki Sounds pretty awesome, that Hardcore mode sounds like some annoying fun for those that like to really get into the role playing side of it. Looking to be very awesome if this list is true. :D Not sure about the not being a vault dweller thing though, that basis for a character gives a lot of leeway with creating a story around the character and going into this destroyed world.

Nagisan Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Holy crap, never even heard of this game till now. I played FO1 and FO2 years ago (back before I really knew anything about game storylines or anything), and really enjoyed FO3 even though it was vastly different from 1 & 2......cannot wait for FO: New Vegas....awesome to finally get something non-total wasteland to run around in.

Osiris Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 wish they'd given more away on the plot, looks like a fully functioning city, seems to distract from the distopia of past ones. Maybe war comes to it or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corris Veteran Posted February 7, 2010 Author Veteran Share Posted February 7, 2010 Two scans that have appeared, looks like the info was right then. There was a third, but the link wasn't working. I'm so excited for this game already, I can't wait. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LingeringSoul Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 That hardcore mode sounds very intriguing indeed. I'm almost not sure if I feel up to it :). Ammunition taking up weight could definitely make things difficult (did Fallout 3 have weightless ammo? I can't remember). From the scans, I'm definitely liking what I'm seeing, although I was crazy about Fallout 3, so perhaps I'm just easy to please :). The female super mutant looks a little ridiculous, but I suppose that's what they were going for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nagisan Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Ammunition taking up weight could definitely make things difficult (did Fallout 3 have weightless ammo? I can't remember). The ONLY ammo that had weight in FO3 was Rock-It Launcher ammo, as it shot miscellaneous items, a majority of which had at least some amount of weight to them.
