The problem with Fallout new vegas is that without having seen anything out of it, we already know what its gonna look like. I don't expect to be surprised by anything they'll gonna show or announce concerning this game. Its gonna be fallout 3, in a post apocalyptic las vegas. With Elvis zombies and a mission to kill every zombie member of the Cirque du Soleil.

As i love fallout 3 so much and am hyped for New Vegas i will probably buy this, when it out (the magazine); start of February?
 
edit: i saw the date at the bottom, never mind

I'll wait for this to be free info on the internets as that magazine is really not worth £6 or whatever ridiculous price it is. 

slot machines with caps...

Or, since Obsidian's members worked on Fallout 1 and 2 (I know right, hard to believe Fallout 3 wasn't the first, but its right in the name) it'll be like Fallout 1 and 2, but in Vegas. "

Just wait for someone to post the pages online if you want to see it, it won't be long.

well if you care a lot you should pay for it, but yes itll be all over everything once one person with internet access reads the article.

Oh i did not know that Bethesda is not making it! 
 
Hopefully these Obsidian guys can make the game good and not fuck it up royally.

" @demonbear: i wouldn't mind if they go back to the style of Fallout 1 and 2, those games were pretty awesome! But going back to an isometric viewpont and turnbased action isn't going to reach mass market nowadays. But i hope they don't just take the Fallout 3 engine and build Las Vegas instead of Washington. I also hope they will lean more on story telling and other skills then shooting, because the shooting (outside of VATS) isn't that good! In the first games you could even talk yourself out of a firefight if your speech skill was high enough. "

From the (for the most part) guys that made the original 2 fallout games, you'd sure hope so :d "

always loved the concept of fallout games, but the turnbased doesnt exactly hit it off with me. thats why i loved fallout 3 so much.  
i cant wait for New Vegas, although i wish they used a different engine. because i dont know about you guys, but the gamebryo engine consistently fucks up my xbox.   Oblivion / Fallout 3 are the games that murdered my xbox

So i saw this today in HMV but didn't bother buying it... Anyone buy it and have a link to some info?

Man I can't wait for this. Makes me wanna play Fallout 3 now.

I hope it turns out to be good. Teaser trailers don't do shit for me

trailers with one wheeled robots...

Quick list of points in the article:
 
 -You get to set your age
-At the beginning of the game, you wake up to a doctor pulling bullet fragments out of your skull, and you have no idea who you are
-They're working on making the shooter mechanics better than in Fallout 3.
-Your skills are more important outside combat, and you can influence people with a high level of expertise in certain areas
-Super mutants are more dangerous, and there's a new type of Super Mutant who uses Stealth Boys
-The first town in the game is very Wild-West ghost town inspired
-There are a couple new melee attacks (Power attack, knockdown)
-Weapons can be fitted with a scope, larger magazine, silencer, etc.
-New "command wheel" for controlling NPC partners.
-There's a grenade machine gun
-You can get a golf club as a melee weapon
-The Hoover Dam is a visitable location.
-There's a new "Hardcore" mode, where ammo has weight, stimpacks heal gradually over time, and you need to drink water periodically to not die.
 -On top of your karma, you have a local reputation which affects your standing with specific factions and towns.
