Could've sworn there was a thread for this before, but search found nothing.

I thought this was gonna be Fallout 3 DLC. But it's a standalone game.

I can't wait.

The text on the bottom of that flag at the end looks an awful lot like "California Republic" - could be the NCR from Fallout 2. Would be nice if it follows up on some of the stuff from that game.

That is what some people at other sites are already pointing out.
I think IGN or The fallout wikia did a full analysis of the trailer somewhere out there.

Whens this out then? Fallout 2 was quality

Any word on whether or not NV will feature VATS?

The third person option of F3 is pretty pathetic, but VATS kind of saves it for me.

Not yet, but there is virtually no chance of Fallout NV coming out without VATS.

VATS is to Fallout, as Jumping is to Mario.

KK I know you hate first person shooters but F3 is a lot better in 1st person then 3rd.

Yeah, and since I don't like the mechanics, that's TOTALLY going to make a difference.

Thank God you're not retarded, son. Otherwise, you might try and tell me that first person was better after I just panned the system in general. :y:

It will definitely have VATS. It was mentioned in the preview article in PC Gamer that they're adding new stuff for melee weapons to it.

If they don't use a new engine, I will continue to not care about this piece of shit.

What exactly was wrong with the Fallout 3 engine, pray tell?

It was the Oblivion engine with a new skin and a couple new features. It is an outdated, clunky piece of crap with terrible animations that doesn't look visually impressive at all, even maxed out, yet runs like CRAP.

My PC handled Crysis on high (not maxed) smoothly, and it looked incredible.

Fallout 3 on max doesn't come anywhere near the visual impressiveness of Crysis, and graphically lags to shit, even with some settings turned down.

The game wasn't fun at all to me. After the newness wore off, the faults were too distracting for me to enjoy myself. Just the feel of the game made me dislike it completely. It felt cheap, and I would rather not encourage laziness in developers.

Using the same engine twice is one thing. They tried it, and it 'worked', but it could be far better. Using the same engine a third time is just pushing it. It is roughly 4 years old, not including the time it took to develop Oblivion. With as much as technology has advanced, and with what developers have been able to push with consoles, there is no valid reason that you could give me that would justify them using the same engine in a 3rd game. It's not like they don't have the money to develop a new one, or to completely overhaul the current one.

And what is the 'point' of gaming, according to you?

I want to enjoy the games I play. I spent money and built a decent PC for gaming. It's not state of the art by any means, but it can handle games on mid-high settings and still look nice. That's not even the main reason for my disliking it though.

I can't enjoy a game that feels like crap. Oblivion, I can give a break. For when it came out, it was pretty impressive. The engine worked for that game because it was designed for that game. It had its faults, but I could deal with that because it was still up to par with, or better than other games of its time. It was new.

Fallout 3, is not new. I felt like I was playing a game that was made 5 years earlier. It didn't have anything to do with the game's features. It had to do with how the game played. If the game plays badly, why would I enjoy it? You're looking at it from the point of view of 'things to do', and yeah.. there were a lot of things to do. Places to go.. people to talk to. But I absolutely hated the way it played.

SO basically Req is saying its ok to Bang a Good Looking chick once, but if you do it twice you should fuck off.

I just dont see the "CRAP" Req. The game was a game of the year, critcally acclaimed and loved by a vast majority of fans. Because you didnt like it doesnt make it crap.

It's more like.. you banged that MILF/cougar because she was hot at the time. But 5 years later, her age has caught up to her and she's not looking so attractive anymore.

I would still see the true inner beauty inside of her.

McDonald's is easily the most popular fast food chain in the US, but that doesn't mean it's the best.

And come on... you would not think the developers were being lazy if they used the same engine in a THIRD game? That is what started this whole discussion... saying if they use the same engine again, I will not give a shit about their crappy game.

Honestly I dont care what engine they are using if the end product is fun, entertaining and polished.

I would rather they crank out another good game with the same engine than a shitty one with a new engine.

I kind of agree with Req here. I didn't let it ruin the experience for me and I enjoyed it thoroughly, but it did feel pretty cheap. The animations were close to awful and the character models nothing special.

It wasn't soul crushing, but it was definitely frustrating considering the potential of the game.

req, you probably should have installed some mod packs, including the hd texture pack and the fallout 3 overhaul kit. Fallout 3 with those packs, at 1920x1080 with full AA and Anso filtering, was absolutely stunning. And fucking awesome, as you get a shitload more guns, game is a lot more realistic. Absolutely loved that game.

A friend of mine brought his right back to the store after "dumping loads of ammo" into a Mutated Ant and couldn't bring it down. I suggested the VATS mode, but he didn't know what I was talking about...But went straight out and rebought the game again.

I love the slo-mo kills in that mode. :D

That's the nicest thing you've ever said to me. :D

Req is entitled to his opinion. Even though it's WRONG

IGN:

Sounds incredible so far.

:drool:

Must..... Get.... Game.....

First screens are out: http://blastmagazine.com/the-magazin...s-trickle-out/

Yes, it looks exactly like FO3, but what do you expect when they hand it off to another studio AND say it won't be a sequel, but a spin-off?

Bethesda obviously want to make the true FO4 themselves
