Believabilty... meh.

I'm not too worried about believability in a series that lets you explode entire bodies with Teddy bears, heal wounds from nuclear missiles by sticking a syringe in your leg, cure nuclear radiation by sucking back some chems and have an invincible dad who can survive every weapon known to man...
I'll admit that believability in a Fallout game isn't nessecary,
but still, that's not a pretty robot.

War still never changes? Aw. Still though, trailer looks awesome.

This looks interesting.
But am I the only one who find that robot design hideously revolting?
Most of the robots in Fallout 3 didn't look too good either, but at least I found those more believable, the uni-wheel was a bit much.
Unfortunately, I was thinking the same thing. I'm also wondering why the robot decided to dig up that grave, and why it does not find a more expedient way of doing so.

I was not expecting a city like that.
same, I don't think vegas was nuked
Could be that they rebuilt after the war using power supplies from a couple of the surrounding vaults.
It's not the power supply I was surprised about, it was the fact they have skyscrapers and a whopping great tower in the middle of town. By the looks of things though, the town appears to be mostly secluded by those huge rock formations, so given my complete lack of knowledge as to exactly how the supersonic blast front works, it's possible that protected the town.

Still doesn't explain the tower, though.

Maybe the Chinese/everyone else who launched nukes didn't consider Vegas a high priority target? They've already got a strike team taking out Hoover Damn so Vegas isn't that important a target they can simply leave the fallout of all the other blasts to wipe out the population and concentrate the Nukes on millitary installations and larger cities.

It's cool that they are taking the series back to the western US. Washington DC was cool, but the previous settings were cooler.

The guy in the trenchcoat and gasmask is most likely a desert ranger. You encounter one in fallout 1 that you can get into your party who is described as being dressed like this. plus he describes his organization as coming from back east. in nevada and such. new vegas can look like that probably cause of hoover dam. which powers most of nevada nowadays i think. and how is ncr facist? ive always seen vault city,and enclave as the facists. ncr is just trying to help folks out...

That trailer sucked.

It doesn't tell me anything.

Ah, well...at least it had Frank Sinatra.

What the hell kind of robot is that? What in the hell is it doing? Who was that guy by the NCR flag and why were his eyes glowing? What's the significance of the seven on his/her/it's helmet? I have a feeling that this is going to be better than three though. That was a real purdy skyline of Vegas too.
Edit; Someone mentioned it digging up graves. Is there a slower way of going about it? That robot looks like it was meant to be a roving television. No more no less.

A new age nazi. You know with trench coats and the nazi helmet shape just with night vision and so on.
That's about as far as it's possible to get from Neo-Nazi aesthetics without wearing a star of David. That's a WW1 aesthetic which is very appropriate for the NCR now I think about it.
Reminded me of the Death Corps of Krieg (based off ww1 soldiers too except they have the red face thingies)
And by the gods this looks awesome. I love these trailer. now if you will excuse me i need to go and read up on my Fallout history (meaning go play fallout 1 and 2. :D)

They're an authoritarian, imperialistic, despotic police state. They're not elitist like VC or the Enclave but they're certainly facists.

Same here, man I love Vraks and I do hope a sort of WW1 style war is going on in NV either with the Brothehood or Ceaser's Legion.

Good choice you won't regret it.

Would have been nice it gave more of a hint of what the games about, instead of a robot moving sand.

Ill keep an eye out for it though.

Ah... I haven't played Fallout 2 so was unaware who they were.
Go play it now. Like right now.
Well actually I had been planning to buy it from Steam all week and just downloaded it today. Your post finally convinced me.

I put my INT and AGL up high, hope it was the right choice. I found Fallout 1 incredibly tough.

Are you sure? I thought they were a democratic system of government.
