Fallout: New Vegas

[Jiro]

My shiny Hyper mag here has a little section on this game. Apparently going to be a joint Obsidian/Bethesda project, set in (obviously) the ruins of Las Vegas.

Also apparently you are not a vault dweller (!) but instead a courier who gets wounded and left for dead by some randoms and a robot named Victor helps you out.

Three factions: New Vegas, The New California Republic and Caesar's Legion Slavers.

Ok discuss.

[Aurey]

I am excite.

[Aerith's Knight]

As long as the 50's music is still there, so will I.

[G13]

I haven't seen anything on this game, just heard about it from some friends. I can't wait though. Not being a Vault dweller this time around sounds pretty interesting.

Also note that neither Vegas nor the Hoover Dam every got nuked, so the place has plenty of power.

NCR fgj I will support them to the end.

[Araciel]

I'm there.

[Slick]

I honestly can't wait to see what new changes they add to this title. Hopefully they'll bring back some things from Fallout 2 and the original.

[Shoeberto]

Sounds wonderful. Fallout 3 took the original concept and tried to modernize it, and it seems like this is using the successes of that to push the series forward. I approve whole-heartedly.

[Jiro]

The article says that, from the concept art, the city looks like an updated New Reno.

Also, your skills have more of an impact in dialogue. For instance, a quote from the article: "Got a runny nose, you say? Well, I'm a SCIENTIST, and I can tell you the solution to that problem is to give me all your money. Hooray for SCIENCE!" So I think you get the picture.

Enclave radio or gtfo.

I loved the last game so I'm sure I'll love this almost exactly duplicated game as Fallout 3 is, just as much.

Bethesda's... peerless, shall we say, writing team at it again.

Enclave radio or gtfo.

Agreed 100% Enclave Radio is the greatest part of the game. I do what John Henry Eden asks because he is a great President and his voice gives me a little tingle in my spine And the best music is on Enclave too!

[Psychotic]

I love it because I was fighting a couple of Raiders. They just had some ty tire irons or something and the outcome was never in doubt. Then I realised I had blundered into a trap and I was being spammed by all manner of ungodly weapons (including missile launchers! Fun for all the family!) from all angles, high, low, behind me, everywhere.

And then, in the melee as I eat several missiles, get crippled and face certain death, a song from my youth blares out.

The man in question is Hacksaw Jim Duggan, a crazy redneck who loves to hit people with a 2x4, wave Old Glory and scream "HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" and my immediate thought was that he had come to my aid. And my god what a beautiful few moments they were. Hacksaw Jim Duggan vs an army of raiders. He would've beasted them all.

It was actually an Enclave Eyebot, spewing its laser at them and it helped me to eventually win. Either way, from that moment on I loved the Enclave and their wonderful radio broadcasts.

This game has yet to be released, but I already know I've bought all the DLC.

Also: hick jibbery over smooth 50s jazz? Are you lot mental?

[Psychotic]

Jazz sucks, so yeah. Plus, smurf Three Dog, he is the worst DJ ever. President Eden forever. Plus Enclave radio isn't hick, it's just patriotic marching band music, which fits the feel of Fallout a lot better than crappy Jazz. Hick music is banjos and like you hear in the Point Lookout trailer.

World on Fire is the only exception to all of this.
