I'll post a more detailed dissection soon, but it's pretty slim pickin's.

Vegas stratosphere (? who knows what it really is in NV land)... Maybe Vegas didn't deal with a direct hit due to not having much strategic value? Surrounded by enough targets of real value to figure the city would be choked off by surrounding blasts/radiation. (Hoover Dam, etc)

Thats what i was thinking

Let the OVERanolYZING begin!

There's a new type of robot, lets call him "Mr. Cowboy".
WTH is that robot trying to dig up?
The NCR (New California Republic) is back, or at the very least their flags are still waving around NV.
New type of armor, very Helghast looking, possibly belonging to enforcers of the aforementioned NCR faction.
Ron Perlman is back with his "War Never Changes" speech.
They were able to light up the NV strip by whatever means.
If the trailer's theme song "Blue Moon" is any indication, we are going to have an awesome Vegas/"Rat Pack" themed soundtrack to look forward to.

Oh I see. I didnt see it before. thanks!

No problem. I didn't recognize it myself. I feel ashamed.

I wouldn't worry about all the lights. The video was 'shot' at night, so if there hadn't been any lights, we wouldn't have been able to see the city. It probably was that lit to make it show up in the darkness. A special effect, if you will.

NCR was a lot more advanced on the tech tree than what we saw from DC. Seeing lights there shouldn't be jarring as some of the light sources we saw in FO3. (Thank you for the conveniently placed undying lights in underground tunnels/subways!)

The city of Las Vegas? It's been 200+ years after the whole nuclear thing. Fallout 3 was just retarded in how it handled the situation and timeline.

Haha. Pretty much.

Nice to see the NCR. Wasn't to keen on the suit design at the end, but to its credit there's definitely a 50's vibe to it.

Can't wait for more!

can someone explain more about this NCR flag because some of us havent played fo1 and fo2

Meh, there isn't much to dissect further, so I wont. What I did notice is that in the background, while the robot was scavenging, there were odd looking trees or plants in the background. I don't think those could be extremely deformed trees or cacti, but they may be. It'd be nice if they were living though.

Jolly good trailer, had me clapping with glee

And the fellow in the trenchcoat and the helmet looks interesting.

NCR is the new california republic. In Fallout 1 there was a small settlement of survivors called Shady Sands, in Fallout 2 they'd grown into NCR, in Van Buren they were supposed to be a major power battling it out with the BOS. You can read a more detailed (accurate) account at the wikia. http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/NCR

The person in the trench coat looks like he has a pip boy.

The one in the trailer had latin(?) text on the bottom.

Also, you're a heretic.

Its the flag of the west coast guys that went and built an alliance of settlements and city states.

Maybe they rebuilt Vegas, hence the name "New Vegas" ;P, Don't know what to make of the rest of the trailer though, This game is gonna rock! :fallout:

Do you really think that the guy in the black trenchcoat and freaky mask/helment, with the omninous music in the background, is the Protagonist??

» Fri May 27, 2011 7:07 am

Ok, so answer me THIS, fellow Fallout pervs: why does the helmet on the dude in the video have a "[7]" on it? What does that meeeaaan?

Also, on his back there's a weak " A' " (or something) panted on? What is thaaaat?

anolYZE!!

Edit: Now that I've looked closer it looks more like " A7 " on his back. Still, what does it mean?

Now I have to wait about twenty minutes for the two minute and ten second video to load, because my internet is capped. LoL, good times.

Here are screen shots of it, I posted for those who cannot get to youtube.

For everyone going "Omg, a city"

We had cities in Fallout 1 & 2, New Reno is a good example. It may not be in it's former glory, but it's not some shanty town like Megaton was. I for one am excited to see something like this as I felt Fallout 3 was a bit lacking in the city department.

» Thu May 26, 2011 11:47 pm

New Vegas already trending on twitter ^_^

» Fri May 27, 2011 5:15 am

And thus, Bethesda's hype machine has started.
Fasten your seat belts.

:P

The only thing I can "anolyze" right away... is that the nightsky uses exactly the same texture as Fallout 3's.
Oh, and that it's the same trailer "style" as Fallout 1's and Fallout 3's.

Now all I need is information to see what the game is really about.

» Fri May 27, 2011 12:26 am

my theory on the "7" follows the logic on why "101" was spotted on the back of the character in all the FO3 screens....

but then again, it may just be a main character...but that does look like a pip-boy on his left arm...

Really looking forward to this. The person it shows looks cool.

» Fri May 27, 2011 5:42 am

I wonder if he's wearing a gasmask because the sand is heavily radiated again? In Wasteland there were vast stretches of desert that not only were severely draining you (and forcing you to carry around a canteen at all times), but you could also stumble into radiated fields, which would slowly kill you from radiation poisoning.

The original Wasteland was an unfriendly place..
