Bethesda finally decided to release a bunch of images for Fallout New Vegas. The game's graphics seem to be very similar to Fallout 3, except for a few palm trees maybe, but if the game offers as huge an environment as before along with an interesting storyline, it might be worth putting on the anti-radiation outfit.

not bad some new weapons the same style , dont fix what ... you know
Just give me the next Elder Scrolls already!
We were also promised by Bethesda, that not only did Vegas not get hit directly in the Great War, but the city was an up and running, vibrant city - so why does everything in these screens, look just as run down as they do in the Capital Wastelands? Maybe these screens are from locales in Southern Nevada, surrounding the Vegas area. But even so, you would think that for an area that did not fall apart after the Great War, after two hundred years, the surrounding area would have more to show for itself than being just a run down as everywhere else that was directly hit during the War.
Oh well, at least they got the West Coast super mutants the right color. I just hope they remember that the West Coast versions of the super mutants were not only intelligent (compared to their East Coast cousins), but also, a reasonable lot, who were not overly aggressive for the sake of killing everything in sight - many of them even joined The Brotherhood of Steel, among other productive things they were known for.
No matter, I guess. I spent over 250 hours in Fallout 3. And much like a reformed substance abuse addict, there is hardly a week that goes by, that I don't dream about firing the game up again, and going through it one more time. That pretty much guarantees that Fallout: New Vegas is a day one purchase, no matter what non-canonical nonsense makes it into this chapter. I just hope is huge, has a great story, some great characters and plenty of DLC to follow it up . . . oh, and a much larger licensed soundtrack. About 100 songs ought to do it. The 20+ songs from GNR got old pretty quick in Fallout 3. Made me so happy to tune into even Agatha's station more often that I should have.
Besides the technical stuff, I really hated the new V.A.T.S. and the lack of dark eerie humor. And the ego-shooter gunplay felt kinda clunky (PC).
Maybe I'm getting old, but I wished they'd bring back the round-strategy VATS of Fallout 1 and 2
as with fallout 3 tho, i think i'll wait for the inevitable GOTY edition with all the inevitable DLC included. it may take a while, but i managed to get fallout 3 for £15 with all the DLC...can't go wrong with that.
Can't really see what this is offering new with gameplay mechanics...though obviously a fallout tie in and not fallout 4. I hope the storys strong.. and i'm interested to see vegas lit up at night.
Definatly pick it up at some point.. but doubtful it's gonna be this year

If New Vegas turns out to be good, and barring the lack of any graphical updates, there is no reason why it should not, I'm hoping that Bethesada will encourage ZeniMax to buy Obsidian.
Bethesda is primarily only one team, who now have to split their time between making Elder Scroll and making Fallout. Back when they were only responsible for Elder Scrolls, all was cool, as they could churn them out in regular intervals. Now having to serve double duty, Elder Scroll releases will become fewer and further between.
Enter Obsidian as a permanent member of the ZeniMax Group. As I am sure that everyone knows by now, the core members at Obsidian, were the core members at Black Isle Studios who created the Fallout series in the first place. As I understand it, the entire Black Isle team made the transition to the new company, with the exception of maybe one or two people. But all the team leads except one made the crossing. In a sense, Fallout New Vegas is more of a homecoming. Unlike Bethesda, Obsidian has two, maybe three internal teams, which would allow them to focus on producing Fallout 4, while continuing working on their other IP. Meanwhile, the team at Bethesda can continue focusing almost exclusively on the Elder Scrolls series. And with both new installments utilizing id Tech 5 . . . match made in Heaven.
Anyway, a boy can dream.
So far not interested
