To be honest, I don't really care about the news itself. I'm just scared that the lack of news means it will get delayed.

[Cool Man Sam]

Maybe they'll release some NV info once the GOTY is out?

Probibly not. Maybe a little thing but there probibly just going to relax for now.

[Isabella X]

Obsidian are making it, not Beth. So the GOTY doesn't affect the development of N:V.

[Jennifer Munroe]

I hope it just a RPG. More like Fallout 1, but a bit of more modified gameplay and graphics.

[Nathan Barker]

honestly if obsidian is developing this i dont have very high hopes for it. all they really do is make crappy sequels to games that were awesome.

No one said it's affecting the development, just that it's affecting the marketing strategy. Bethesda probably doesn't want to start hyping NV until they're finished with hyping FO3.

So does that mean that Beth is going to release any information and not Obsidian?

they said its gonna have the same gameplay as fallout 3.

Well, considering they have some of the people who made the first games and almost the third, I doubt it'll be worse than Fallout 3. But that's just me.

I wish Myron would come back....

Me too, it would be awesome to hear how rude, selfcentered and coward he would've grown. :hehe:

But - and correct me if I'm wrong - didn't he die at the end of Fallout 2 (explained in the ending slideshow, provided you found him), I seem to remember something like that for some reason?

Yeah He

Spoiler

got stabbed by a drug addict in a bar in Reno

. Such a shame because he could have been a huge influence on Vegas. If he can keep Reno going with Jet and have the Mordino's give him whatever he wanted as long as he supplied the stuff, imagine how spoilt he'd be in Vegas. XD

Well being that F3 has conflicting endings depending on what you have done, it could be said that that was just "one possible ending", since it wasn't occurring through gameplay.

True but F3 wasn't really a direct sequel IMO. It had next to no references to Fallout 1 or 2. Infact aside from the east-coast brotherhood mentioning their origins in California there isn't much mention of the west coast at all. Vegas is a spin-off anyway, so maybe it'll be set closer to F1 and 2 than 3 was. I'd imagine it'd be like Reno with the crime families and stuff.

[Celestine Stardust]

Yes, just like it's Beth that's releasing most information about other developers' games they are publishing, like Brink or WET.

Worse than fallout 3? like fallout 3 was bad or something?

[Sweets Sweets]

Worse than fallout 3? like fallout 3 was bad or something?

For many people definitely worse than the original two, on which some people now on the New Vegas team worked.

meh, ive nvr played the other fallout games, i just dont want turn based

im not one to judge the other fallout games

[D LOpez]

I wish there was at least a picture from New Vegas to look at. The wait is painful

It's much worse for us TES fans; it's been almost 4 years and a new game hasn't even been annouced...

That's not to say I'm not excited for New Vegas.

Also, what makes a good character?

Consistent, believable motivation and a believable personal agenda. A tie to the game's theme either to reinforce it or as a sounding board for exploring a different perspective on the game theme. An emotional tie to the player (either hate, envy, love, friendship, respect) and reacts appropriately to the player character's actions. Proper casting of a voice actor or, if text only, insuring that the right writer is assigned to developing that character because they understand it (some narrative designers can't write sociopaths, do reverse gender romances, or commit to doing a goodie-two-shoes character). For a computer game, I feel it's also essential that the player understand the purpose of the character and that the character fulfills that role in the game mechanics and the world (for example, companions in F2 needed to be an asset in and out of combat, which I learned in Fallout 2 - Cassidy was much more valuable and appreciated than Myron).

Hey Bethesda, take notes.

[lucile]

I'm kinda hoping for vehicles this time around.

[An Lor]

I just can't wait until I can battle Mutants on the stage where Penn and Teller did their show.

I wonder if there will be any mutant Lions or Tigers from Sigreid and Roy?

Oh, and there has to be a robot/cyborg of Wayne Newton, you just know he would try to have himself immortalized.

I also wonder if they will use the skyline from the 50's/60's Vegas (Fremont Street) or the new skyline of the mega casinos.

Saying A is worse than B doesn't say anything at all about B's quality.

This would be way better IMO.

[Jose ordaz]

i believe theyre gonna use the old downtown strip, as thats what they had back then.. much better fit for the game anyhow..

i hope the El Cortez is there, so i can take out some vengance on that place for that chinese gary shandling look-a-like mofo that took all my moneys at the card table
