Wild West Wasteland Gadgets in Fallout: New Vegas

My real concern is that I had trouble sticking with Fallout 3 because the main storyline wasn't interesting and I didn't care one bit about any of the characters. I play RPGs for stories. Has Obsidian made a compelling story or characters? I can't tell by the media we've seen so far.

This is exactly why I stopped playing Fallout 3, it just got to be so lonley out there in the waste when I didn't care for any characters.  Also I hope there is still 3rd person in the game as I played with the camera just above the waist,  Anyone else do this or am I just crazy? "

Inon Zur!! sweet, I loved the sounds in F3. I'm even more excited now :D

lol people who care about graphics amuse me. this game is going to be so fun.

Thrilled.

I love me some fallout and the graphics don't bother me at all but some of the design decisions seem odd to me. The objects seem to contrast pretty harshly with the environment and it just looks a little wrong to me. But this may be because I still have my Fallout 3 goggles on :)

" @emkeighcameron: it looked horrible when it first came out, your fanboyish attitude is showing because its not made by bethesda again, so of course the 5000 things you praised when it was released are now 5000 things you want to complain about "

they just need better art designers and a better engine for actual combat, and to make everything less generic and awkward

Seems like in hardcore mode, that rechargeable laser rifle will be pretty handy.

Recently read a GameInformer article and they said iron sights were nice enough that they nearly forgot about V.A.T.S................ AWESOME =)
 
With that and the addition of hardcore mode October can't come soon enough!!

only just started playing fallout 3 recently, at first i hated it because i'm a bit of a graphics whore but eventually it sucked me in completely, that said i'm totally looking forward to this.

I'm calling it, this game will be ok and will letdown most of the Fallout 3 fans.

I'm really hoping this game has something very distinct about it to set it apart from its predecessor because right now it just looks like more Fallout 3 dlc & that interests me none.

Looks too too much like Fallout 3. I want a little more variety. Mixed results for me. I am on the fence on this one. 

Seems like they're using a bit more color in this one. Looking forward to getting back into the wasteland.

Oh yeah, and looking forward to building that grenade machine gun :]

Looks alright - well, I mean, it looks like more Fallout 3, and I liked Fallout 3 (except for Operation Anchorage and the Pitt, which were awful). So, I'll be waiting for the GB review before buying it, but if they give it the okay, I'll get it.

I prepurchased this game months ago. Just waiting for it to unlock. I kind of regret it though looking at the cool stuff in the limited edition. I'd pay the extra bucks just for those playing cards.

I dunno why but the in game stuff looks like dog sh!t to me... Like PS2 era gaming.

Yo guys guess what? They makin' another Fallout game! I played hours and hours of Fallout 3 and this just looks like more hours of the same shit. I want to see what Bethesda is working on next, that's what im interested in.

Looks awesome to me

I can always get excited about guns in video games.

I just realized I haven't seen any limbs get blown off in any trailers or features yet. I hope they just have violence turned off.

" Here's to hoping it's not broke like fallout 3 was. "

" This engine looks like it's from the 50s. "

" Holy crap, I hope that's not the PC version because it looks like terrible.  I keep forgetting how old F3 is and how mediocre it looked back then, until FNV images are released and then I'm reminded.  Desperately in need of another texture mod. "

Define "Broke"? "

And now I will laugh at the people who say it's just an overblown addon to Fallout 3, yet loved Halo Reach.
 
Guys, this looks absolutely nothing like Fallout 3. Sure, the engine is the same, but almost every single sequel in existance uses the same engine as it's predeccesor. This game looks to have a much more idealised and slightly stylised look to it; Where Fallout 3 was post-apocolyptia with 50s elements, this is the 50s post-apocolypse, giant purple lizards et all. Again I say, if these are too similar for you, step away from Mass Effect 2, MW2, Halo 2, 3, ODST and Reach.

Have they even used VATS in a trailer yet? Why are they even pretending you can play Fallout without using VATS to shoot?

I thought Giant Bomb didn't do ray-gun features.

Oh yeah, I can tell the sound is a lot awesomer. I'm still confident they'll pull this off.
