Fallout 4: new vegas

[scnj]

It will probably only have an 80-85 on Metacritic (like all Obsidian games do)

Why only 80-85? That's an excellent score.

Not compared to Fallout 3's 92.

In fairness though, there's 7 points difference between 85 and 92. That's pretty negligible when it comes down to it.

Alright, maybe Metacritic was a poor example to use. I was talking in general that critics won't look at it as favorably as Fallout 3.

If it's anything like Fallout 3, then it will be great. I just hope that they fix up the aiming in the game. The aiming just felt a little awkward.

That's fair enough. Probably best not to worry what critics think anyway and just play the game.

I'd like the OP to add some meat to his first post, else take your fanboyish gushing somewhere else. Yes, it's great that there's going to be another game in a wonderful series, but calm down before you hurt yourself.

This is old news. The Gamefaqs forum for it has been up for a while, and the fallout wiki has a thing on it.

Fallout is going to be subscribing to the "Grand Theft Auto" system of numbering (as Yahtzee puts it). New Vegas being a new Fallout game in the "Vice City" or "San Andreas" sense, not a true sequel.

The new game is also being done by a goodly number of people from the original Fallout team, meaning it has a chance to be a lot closer to the spirit of the original Fallout games than Fallout 3 was.

Opinions are mixed, Bethesda fanboys and/or those who have only played Fallout 3 are nervous. Older gamers who played the original Fallout games (and even Wasteland/Fountain Of Dreams) who thought Fallout 3 was a *VERY* good game but not truely a good Fallout game, are looking at New Vegas with an unhealthy amount of anticipation, thinking that it will effectively be the "rea" Fallout 3 (continued by the original creators). Many are hoping the New Vegas team will be willing to push the rating to the limit and give the ESRB heart attacks while causing most of Austalia to keel over dead from shock as feared by the goverment who censored the drug use animations in Fallout 3 as "too intense" (omg! needles scare us! America is scary! *cries* aussie censor need to go make poo poo now).

Fallout 4 and Fallout: New Vegas are actually different games. New Vegas is being developed by Bethesda, who also made Fallout 3. Fallout 4 is being developed by some of the original developers of Fallout and Fallout 2.

I think you'll find it's the other way around. New Vegas is being done by Obsidian, and 4 is being done by Bethesda.

Ah, brain fart. Bethesda's publishing New Vegas, but Obsidian is developing it.

I cant wait for this. im gonna be cruising down the sunset strip with dogmeat at my side.

 

[Diablini]

OMG R U SRUS! DET IS SO E1337!

But seriously I will be playing this game as soon as it's out.

 

[jonnopon3000]

errrrm....Fallout new vegas is a seperate game from fallout 4.

Check your details-fallout new vegas is gonna be set parrallel with the time and events of fallout 3...fallout 3 is the next step in the franchise.

Also coming are vault 101 and wasteland. Look it up.

 

[A Raging Emo]

It's not made by Bethesda, which is no doubt why you were so excited as Bethesda games are AWESOME! ... Ahem... Anyway...

It's made by the remaining original Fallout developers, but using the Bethesda engine. So it will look like a Bethesda game, but the remaining Interplay Staff made the game itself.

Old news but I cant blame you for being excited.
Fallout 3 may not have been the greatest of Fallout games but it has certainly raised interest in the series and will hopefully lead to some amazing games.

New Vegas is already on my 2010 wishlist

Jesus, do I have to do this everytime this comes up?


This is all that is known.
