Fallout: New Vegas

[Scarlett.]

Basically its like the Vice City of the Fallout seires, not quite Fallout 4, but a spin off from Fallout 3, set in post apocolyptic Las Vegas

[Ramsay]

should be pretty good:)

[Scarlett.]

Indeed, it'd be great if there was a Mad Max style arena

[andyman]

It will be very Mad Max :)

Still playing Oblivion IV and Fallout 3 loads..

Keep this thread updated with any news plus make a GTA Latest News thread.. :dance:

[andyman]

This download or to buy in shops?

[Ramsay]

i think you have to buy it in the shops like halo ODST

[andyman]

Cool :)

[Scarlett.]

It's a full game, not an expansion :3

[andyman]

[Tom4784]

Oooh I'm looking foward to this, I adore Fallout 3.

[andyman]

Pukka!

[Scarlett.]

There are rumours it has an Oblivion style arena :)

[andyman]

That will be good, Mad Max styleee!

Hope the map is big.. Still enjoying Fallout 3 and Oblivion IV, plenty to do. :)

[Scarlett.]

I think it will be quite big, I hope the game speads out into the Nevada/Mojave deserts :3

[andyman]

Aye it should do, that will be the hot dry wastelands.. Very Mad Max. :)

I might be evil in that game..

[andyman]

FFS! Fix me up with some news man..

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.

Sounds quite interesting.

[andyman]

The female super mutant sounds good, she should be fun.. She might want hanky panky with a smoothskin.. :(

[andyman]

WAIT!.. What year is the game set in?

[Scarlett.]

I assume the same time that F3 was set in :P

[Scarlett.]

It's set 3 years after F3

[andyman]

2280.. 80s in the 23rd century should be fun.

[Scarlett.]

Screenshots! It's deffo Fallout 3 style!

Good good.. It makes sence to keep it the same way, and the graphics engine is great.. But still the issue of bugs in their games. :(

New Vegas at night should be a lovely treat for the eyes and ears.. I want Sin City now! :)

[Scarlett.]

I'm glad the engine is the same, as glitcy as it can be, it is excellent

[Scarlett.]

Here is more
