    Screenshots are appearing in the wild. Looks a lot like ... Fallout 3. Although I am totally hooked on the supermutant chick with the heart-shaped sunglasses and the blonde wig. That's just hot.

    -edit-

    Apologies for the earlier link, apparently the legal status of some of those scans is questionable, so better safe than sorry.

    More info here. I'm pleased that it will be a much more 'populated' game than FO3. I always felt like there were too few people in the 'towns' in that game.

    It's filled with dark humor, it has a wide variety of ways to play, lots of unique dialogue directions and bloody, not to mention all the little bits of exploration you are able to do. Speaking of the first two installments, what exactly was your problem with them?

    Will I be able to conduct further conversations with the prominent Vegas' hooker as soon as I pay 150 caps? Will they choose to keep the useless player ability to drink from toilet instead?

    PC Gamer named Fallout: New Vegas one of the "ten most anticipated games of 2010." Linky—PDF warning!

    Why were we so excited to hear that the next game in the Fallout series would be developed by Obsidian rather than the franchise's current home, Bethesda? Game trivia: the original creators of Fallout: A Post-Nuclear Role-Playing Game and Fallout 2 worked at the Interplay-owned Black Isle Studios. When Interplay effectively shut down, many Black Isle employees, including studio head Feargus Urquhart, bailed and founded Obsidian in 2003. Obsidian's resume includes strong RPG games like Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II, Neverwinter Nights 2 and the upcoming Alpha Protocol. While not all of the brains behind Fallout reside at Obsidian, an injection of original Black Isle mojo is outstanding news. If we had to bet on anybody to surpass 2008's incredibly Fallout 3, it'd be these guys. — Dan Stapleton

    You know what I really hope isn't in New Vegas?

    Repairing system. I didn't like it in Oblivion, Fallout 3 or any other Bethesda game. Being able to use my Chinese assault rifle less than 10 times before it was already in need of substantial repair sucked.

    It just made me horde the rare guns like some sort of obsessive freak for fear of having to repair them. I became obsessive, it ruined me. Please, no more.

    Here's a funky bit of Fallout trivia: the original "child-killer" graphic, which was the only Pip Boy image to be cut from Fallout 2, 'cause it was so darn offensive. And yeah, I can see why. Just can't remember what the final child-killer graphic looked like ... anyway, it's below the tag, don't click if you're easily upset.

    More news on the game. Interesting bits:

    Specifically, for the serious Fallout fan, New Vegas introduces a Hardcore option from the get-go, allowing them to bypass early tutorials and live a more difficult post-nuclear life. Players opting to go hardcore will have to stave off hunger and dehydration, and will be required to visit doctors for more serious injuries. Hardcore also more harshly limits the amount of ammo one can carry, applying weight to bullets. Stimpacks won't heal instantly, but will heal over time.
    Obsidian's new take on Fallout introduces a few other changes, starting with the Companion Wheel. The pop-up radial menu lets players control their allies in battle, issuing simple command behaviors to AI-controlled compatriots.
    There's a screenshot of the Companion Wheel at the link above. It looks like a nice addition.

    The VATS combat system has also been tweaked, allowing for melee attack commands. Just don't expect a massive difference in the way the successful targeting system worked in Fallout 3. But do expect a greater variety of weapons, thanks to new weapon mods that let players customize their firearms with larger clips, scopes and specialized ammo. More outlandish weapons like the grenade machine gun and golf club will also add a little variety to your post-nuclear excursions.
    During your journey across the desert lands of Fallout: New Vegas, you'll have to deal with the various factions who claim ownership of certain territories, like the New California Republic, the Brotherhood of Steel and Caesar's Legion. The notoriety system complements the karma system of Fallout 3. Depending on the actions you take—who you kill and who you befriend—various groups will either want you dead, want to be your best bud or attempt to pay tribute to your character.

    More details on Kotaku:

    Players now have the option to add onto and customize their firearms, an addition based on one of the more popular user created mods for Fallout 3. The system also allows for specialized ammo, like armor piercing rounds and heavy slugs for shotguns. The 9mm pistol used in the demo was tricked out with an extended magazine and a scope.
    Lots of screenshots of modded weapons here.

    This bit makes it sound like dialog options will have a far more varied impact on the game than they did in FO3:

    We won't spoil the secret of Tabitha here, but in addition to having pretty powerful weapons, Obsidian took advantage of smart dialog choices and a high speech skill to win part of the battle. Tabitha was successfully convinced that a mutiny was underway, pitting Nightkin against Super Mutant and saving the player some ammo.

    You can pre-order it through Steam now.
    I will wait though and hear what people have to say about the game before I buying...and oh, you get some pre-order bonus ofc, the Caravan Pack.

    Steam also has 50-75% off on Game of the Year Editions for Morrowind, Oblivion and Fallout 3.

    i recommend playing the first 2 first, then fallout 3. it makes more sense when you play the first 2 about certain things, such as Harold, the Great War, the Brotherhood of Steel, the Enclave, deathclaws, etc. strongly reccomend it. in fact, if you dont, bad things may happen >:(

    Just heard the first thing about the Brotherhood of Steel, listening to the Enclave radio. Freaking ants that breathe fire?

    yes i should have said the origins of the brotherhood, enclave, and deathclaws. i dont think those are explained in FO3, and you'd be surprised to learn that the deathclaws.....hm, i wont ruin it.

    Sounds like a lot of the "new" features are those already available in a number of fallout 3 mods, so I'm not greatly impressed. But console players will likely be more impressed. Also gfwl is no problem on the pc, apart from the clunky and rip off way of buying dlc.

    Ugh. Every video is building in me a massive feeling of "Meh". This falls into my wait and see catagory.

    Edit - The patronising nature, and trivial and pointless stuff demonstrated in the IGN Live vid is just, ugh... not looking good. I don't care if every casino is perfectly styled and the blackjack tables are amazing to look at. If I want to look at art I'll buy a painting. I want plot!

    The information I have heard on FO: Online is that you shouldn't hold your breath. Interplay has no money and is doing the bare minimum amount of work it needs to do to retain its rights to the FO MMO license. There isn't anything to the game so far beyond concept work and promotional hype. Nor will there be unless an outside investor decides to put a lot of money into Interplay in the near future. The beta sign-up is a joke, since they haven't even written a single line of code.

    They could use Bethesa's code and modify it, however, unless they have full-backing from Bethesa or ZeniMax, that will never happen.
