Fallout: New Vegas Screenshots Surface
" @TheMustacheHero: This is made by Obsidian, Bethesda isn't doing anything with it but giving them the rights to make the game. "Wait a second...say what?
" @natetodamax: @HatKing: @MAN_FLANNEL: Gameplay > Graphics "I didn't say that wasn't true. I just would prefer that the game doesn't look terrible.
This is going to be great! They already have the tech so they were probably able to put A LOT more into story and gameplay. I hope thats the case, at least. Looks really good!!
Hmm... Looks similar to Fallout 3, but can't judge yet really until the release day! :D
Sounds like it's gonna be a good game anyways.
Bethesda is still the publisher, so they are kind of in charge of a good deal of the funds and distribution, as well. Publishing isn't as simple as stamping your name on the box and doing some marketing for it.
@General_D23: I kinda sorta clumped that in with marketing...lol.
Getting the ultimate edition for this, even if all you get is a broken-ass Pip boy clock.
Also, the screenshot with the soda ad is interesting...more than just nuka cola this time around?
also, super mutant's heart shaped sunglasses are pimpin.
Whats with the Super Mutant coloring being quite Grey? Is that just a work in progress screen-shot where they still have to fix the colors, or is that the new colors of the super mutants?
Yeah but for Oblivion to Fallout they had to do a whole bunch more work for th environments, weapons, etc. Fallout New Vegas is definitely more derivative of Fallout 3 so it should be easier work from.
" Whats with the Super Mutant coloring being quite Grey? Is that just a work in progress screen-shot where they still have to fix the colors, or is that the new colors of the super mutants? "They look more like the original fallout Super Mutants. Probably because both this and the original game takes place on the west coast.
I'm sure this has already been stated in this thread somewhere, but if you're judging this Fallout game by the graphics alone, then where the hell were you when Fallout 3 was released? Even back then Fallout 3 was not up to snuff with other video games being released (graphically), yet people managed to see around the esthetic qualities and focus on the amazing exploring and character building.
Ask any video game fan what they’d want more…incredible game play? Or a pretty looking game…9 times out of 10 they’ll say they’d want the game that’s fun to play. So even if this is the final build, and it’ll look exactly like Fallout 3, if the game play is equal or better to what Fallout 3 was, I know I”ll be able to look past the dated graphics and have a damn fun time.
It looks decent to me. Yeah the graphics aren't mind blowing, but at least they're not PS2 era graphics. I'm not going to judge this game from just 14 screen shots alone, but I did want to see screen shots of Vegas. I liked Fallout 3 a lot and I'm hoping that New Vegas will be just as good or even better.
I don't like the idea that I'm shallow because graphics mean something to me. It isn't like the game is a fucking person, it isn't like the devs didn't have control on how it looks. A game looking bad is a result of the developers being lazy not a random series of genetics. It takes just as much artistic skill to make a game look good as it does to make one play good. Having said that, I never said anything about hating the game, I personally loved Fallout 3; I am just understandably disappointed. Also there are some things about Fallout 3 that need serious work and if they show as little improvement as the graphics do I think the game is going to feel very dated.
I never played Fallout 3 (i know, i know. shoot me. it's sitting on my shelf as a loan from a friend, i just wanted to save my rpg patience for ff13).
having said that. i'm not missing the bandwagon this time, so i dont care how much time it is, i'll probably be buying it when it comes out.
" @Gabriel said:Confirmed back, and melee weapons get special VATS attacks (the one mentioned is golf clubs get one called "fore!")" So is VATS back? "I would assume yes, since the dude is wearing a Pip-Boy. Also why is he wearing a Pip-Boy? I thought you played a character who was never in a vault. "
I just remembered, the one thing that I wish they redesign completely is the third person view. not only does it look like your character is skating all the time, it's hard to aim too. Fix the shooting controls so they're more shooter-like responsive (easier to target people) and fix 3rd person and I'll be pretty happy.
" Well this seems like it will be a disappointment. Looks exactly like Fallout 3 but even more deserted. Where's my Elder Scrolls 5? "I'd prefer Elder Scrolls 5.
I think it looks awesome. I love that picture with the Super Mutant thing in the wig and heart-shaped sunglasses. I can't wait to play it.
" I really hope they make new animations for everything...I'm sick of having these garbage animations we have had since Oblivion. "It is possible since Vegas is developed by the original Fallout people but with some Bethesda members. Oblivion and Fallout 3 are both developed by the same company = same animations.
