Screenshots...

This is going to make me sound such a dick, but looking at the screenshots I suddenly felt a wave of 'coming back to reality'. It was the old rusty car without wheels that did it.

Hehe, yeah, it's like you're being dragged into the cold dark void of disappointment...

Seriously! All that hope is kind of being pushed back down. I don't know. I'm just halfway through the article. Maybe because the magazine knows its audience, and re-WAIT A MINUTE POWDER GANGS. Oh god the hope is back.

One thing I'm actually hoping for is quality voice acting with a much wider cast. It's like every single actor only knew how to do one voice, and it was the voice they did for Oblivion. Nobody sounded grungy or manly or pissed off. I remember the junkie from Rivet City sounded the most clean cut and businesslike addict I have ever met.

Edit: Damn it, I'm optimistic again after reading it. Every situation seems to have options for characters of different skills.

And hell, if the super mutants can run a radio station, I think they'll be a pretty interesting group to deal with.

The german VO was also shit.
What I like in this article - places one could actually consider settlements - hell, even cities! This NCR base at the mountains looks great too.

I remember Fallout 1/2 devs saying this is what they wanted to do in Fallout 1/2 but would be too much work, and that they wanted to actually accomplish this in Van Buren.

Even moar!

Just want to annoy fella Badger a bit.

"If you ever visit New Vegas", interrupts Ringo, "look me up at the Crimson Caravan."

AHHH. YOU PEOPLE ARE MAKING ME DREAM AGAIN.

"Nightkin - elite, if schizophrenic commandos equipped with cloaking devices"

Even this makes me excited. In Van Buren there was a whole thing about extended use of stealth boys causing schizophrenia. BOS splinter groups who left after losing their grip on reality, Mormon prophets, all kinds of things. If you were a doctor character, you'd be able to diagnose them. Goddamn. I hope that comes up in this game.

New Vegas has a sense of humour the original lacked. Also a sense of style, and a feel for the Fallout universe that you can only get from the team that created it.

It is like Christmas. My biggest complaint with Fallout 3 was the writing, and the rest of my complaints are probably going to be dealt with be Sawyer's hardcore mode. I can't wait.

I dont know what to think, I have to wait for final version, in some places it looks great, but in other ones it looks like a shit I was talking about before. At least I'm sure this is all marketing blablablabla having not much connection with reality.

But PC-centric developers from interplay (he meant bad boys in first article) makes me feel funny. In 1996/97 they should make games for Xbox! Yeah, stupid assholes :/

I'm sure this is like always "tell something nice about us and game so we show You some demo and You will be first"...

[Reconite]

Maybe thread should be renamed "New Vegas: Not as shit as I thought at first".

[Surf]

You first have to convince Baael that it's not total shit. 

[baaelSiljan]

ok, maybe I was wrong we will see it in future

[Izual]

Looks like Far Cry : Africa...

NORMAL: Ammunition is unlimited.
HARDCORE: Ammunition has weight, limiting your supply.

Very hardcore indeed.

[Badger]

I couldn't help but laugh at the differences between normal and hardcore mode. I also resent the claim that only 'Fallout's most obsessive fans' would want more challenging gameplay.

But hey, J.E. Sawyer remarked that it's the only way he wants to play his Fallout game. So I'm expecting it to be fairly well balanced and thought through.

[Lexx]

I will never play out of hardcore mode.
