Already I cannot wait for this. I'm going to reserve this as soon as I get the money to do so. :D

I found fallout 3 to be ankle deep like Bioshock the writing and dailog is not bad but pacing, broken skill system,limited unbalanced equipment,lack of team/partner custmization,ect,ect,ect,ect ruined the game for me, or rather it was made to be a film and not a game......I hate such design emphasis.....its a pandemic these days...

I really enjoyed Fallout 3, so I'm happy that New Vegas will be keeping the same general feel.

I really hope they tweak the Hell out of the Gamebryo engine. I want seamless loads between cities and wasteland again. I really, really hated that about Oblivion and Fallout 3.

I also hope they do away with that unslayable NPC nonsense. "Little Timmy has become unconscious." I don't care if the main story arc is destroyed; Provost Dorkin must die, damn it!

And finally... Achievements? Oh joy... That by default means the mandatory inclusion of GFWL, which I'll again have to illegally bypass. :(

How exciting! So far this all sounds awesome. I can't wait for New Vegas to come out!

I wonder if they will still use bottlecaps as currency or if they are going to use chips. It is Vegas after all.

I can't wait to play this game, I hope the m1 isn't the varmint gun. That would piss me off quite a bit.

All I can really say is...

DO WANT.

But srsly, this is definitely shaping up to be something EPIC. And Autumn 2010?! YES! I was expecting it early 2011 and that I'd end up ignoring Gears 3 for ages while I played NV to death.

Actually in hindsight, I played F3 pretty much as my main game for about a year. I guess Gears 3 will be left in the dust after all :3

I was really excited about this game but now it's revealed as just the same shit i got bored of last year.
I'll probably get it a few years down the line but this is sorely disappointing

If its polished up and adjusted for a 20+ hour game...it should be great...its a lack luster unfinished lulz fest like FO3...... no thanks....

How is it the "same ole shit?" It sounds like they're adding a lot, and it's Black Is...err...Obsidian so their handling of the world should be a lot better than Bethesda's.

I'm actually very hyped, hyped enough even my thermometer has bursted from hype.
Hardcore mode seems like a really good idea, because i never bothered with melee in Fallout 3 because i could carry so much ammo and weapons were so common it wasn't worthwile.
I would like to see the abillity to disguise yourself as other factions, you know remember in Fallout 2 where you infiltrated camp Nevarro as a new recruit, and the thickly accented drill sergant woul criticize anyway possible? Good times.

Anywho all aboard the hype train!

Don't think so. Same engine, same aesthetic, same models, same control style, same everything. Yes, there are editions but KotOR 2 had additions yet added nothing.

WAIIIIIT! Obsidian did THAT too!

I'm just happy Obsidian have better engineers than Bethesda. The random CTDs of their engine broke immersion and made me almost regret buying the game on more than one occasion.

Just happy to see that they seems to have taken some of the ideas from some of the really good player-created mods and decided to use them. And if it's GECK compatible that would be even more awesome.
I believe they are actually using the geck (same engine and looks, and from what i can tell some of the same objects, roads, clothes and stuff) to make it with various other tools that i am not sure of.

Forgive me for descending into Internet-speak, but WANT. NAO.

Seriously, this one looks like a very likely Game of the Year candidate.

If you're gonna try and use history as a debate point, you may want to check your facts. KOTOR 2 suffered from the publisher wanting to rush the game out of the door. It was shipped unfinished and still in need of a lot of love.

Your post is pretty much garbage. Yes the engine/control schemes are mostly the same, but you make it sound like this game is a F3 mod with no new resources. No new models? No new anything? Really? Are you a moron?

If you'd actually bothered to RTFA you'd know that a lot of things from F3 are being fixed up and improved upon. Frankly though, twits like you aren't even worth debating with. I could easily refute your inane blatherings just by copy/pasting entire sections of the article. Troll elsewhere, thanks.

Nah, here's cool.
Yes things have changed but they're all surface things, the core is the same and i'd be much more interested in something that really mixed it up. Maybe a return to isometric, maybe the complete opposite, perhaps a new VATS system. Innovation and stuff.
Please don't get vicious with people who have differing views to your own, this is why the gaming community has a bad name.
