New Vegas: shit or not shit?
baaelSiljan:
You know, I'm talking about trailer, not game, but trailer can tell us much about game. Look at gameplay, scenario, cuts movies, idea and scenery from original series. Fallout was very very original black humor comedy placed in retro 50's postapocalyptical future. And it was based on classic novels, movies and sketches.
Why to hell such things like this (FO3 and perhaps upcoming New Vegas) are called Fallout? First it is not black humor comedy - this argument is good enough to remove Fallout brand from this games, second it has almost nothing from crazy retro 50's - much more it looks like strict copying characters and design from old productions, but not idea - FO 1/2 was using idea, not so much copying content (they do their own design). Third thing is that people who create FO3 and as I see New Vegas dont feel and dont know what it means "postindustrial wastelands", whole scenery looks like bit thrashcan after explosion. Look at scenery in FO 1/2, it is full of junk covered by dust, sand and mud, cities looks like found empty by some wanderers and adopted to life. In FO3 it looks like people want to live in thrash and dont care about anything else.
It is same comparision like Monthy Python to new stupid teen comedies - both are stupid and without sense sometimes, but it is another level of humor. They do game with Fallout brand, but they dont understand what Fallout is.
Does combat armor look like this?
My point is, they have too much marketing, but not enough ideas and heart in this productions. I can bet FO4 will look like Army of two + Modern Warfare + (4 skills + 6 perks (1kk levels for each))
*two last options are only to use shortcut RPG in game title
PS. i enjoyed playing FO3 and perhaps will enjoy New Vegas, but there was trick to do that - I removed string "Fallout" from logos and cover.

Well said there.
Personally, I think the trailer doesnt reveal jackshit about the game, but judging from the screenshots in the webpage. It looks exactly like FO3, as if this was an expansion pack to Bethesda's shit.
And 1st person view is simply, meh... I wont even bother testing this game when its out.

I trust in Sawyer. The story - really - CANT be bad.

Holy shit that does look like killzone. The whole vegas concept is pretty ridiculous too, las vegas was built in a desert, without pumping stations it would be gone in about a decade. As much as fallout 3 pissed me off with its shitty writing and insane amounts of bugs its still better than most console games and I really hope obsidian mountain will do a better job. It'll never be what we want because we came from a generation of pc games where developers weren't afraid of complexity, companies these days just want a product that will appeal to the lowest common denominator. The combat system was really shit in fallout 3 and they screwed it up even worse trying to fix it in the expansions. Shirtless hill billy can take more damage than a guy in power armour and does 4 times more damage than you do with the same gun? Yeah that makes sense.

I don't like it.
Original Fallout style is best.
