And at last... you saw.

The echo that you felt was not a thing of light.

Both Chris Avellone and Larry Liberty appear to be sitting as blokes do at their blokey pub with blokey mates talking about blokey stuff like a bloke while sipping (blokeily) from a blokey pint of bloke-lager. And look, as the interviewer astutely notes, there are real cards at the gambling tables, which -- as we all know -- we were really holding out to see. All I can say is that I'm glad that Obsidian could find enough time in the schedule (what with all that time spent being blokes) to programme a real card mechanic.

Thanks for sharing the video Pavlos. Cool and all, but what I really thought was funny was the glitch where Mr. Liberty did not get his weapons back when leaving the casino.

It's not actually a glitch, though MCA certainly looked absolutely horrified. To get your weapons back you have to go upstairs and pick them up from a chest. I assume this is so you can do the Morrowind thing and rob the shops of their stores. As to why Mr. Liberty -- who looked like he was Avellone's minder with those sunglasses -- didn't go upstairs, I don't know. Maybe they haven't programmed the area yet...

Some news on some of the NV voice cast. Ron Pearlman is back as the narrator (of course) and Wayne Newton is a pre-war radio DJ. Other notable names include Mathew Perry, Zach Levi, Kris Kristofferson, Michael Dorn, and Felicia Day (:3heart:). Apparently it has been confirmed that Dorn is returning as the super mutant Marcus from FO2.

Some troubling (but hardly surprising) comments from the end of a brief IGN hands-on preview:

 

Fallout: New Vegas is due out October 19, and I hope Obsidian has the chance to put a bit more polish on it before shipping it out. The portion of the game I played frequently had issues with maintaining a stable framerate, and the AI quite often had problems quickly finding the best path while moving. These aren't particularly new issues to those that have played Fallout 3, and the game still works as you'd expect, but I still remain ever hopeful for an improved experience.

Fallout 3 was one of the most big-ridden, unstable games that I've ever played, period. I'm really not expecting Obsidian to much better or worse than Bethesda when it comes to coding. If I was Obsidian, I'd just scrap Bethesda's Gamebryo and start from a template, but that ain't feasible any longer.

I doubt they had any choice as far as engine goes. I can't imagine Bethesda would ever had left that open to debate. Regardless, the 12 month dev cycle would have made starting from scratch in a new engine a non-viable prospect. It would have been nice though if they (or Bethesda) had fixed all the existing FO3 bugs before (invariably) adding a whole bunch of new ones.

Fallout 3 had a lot of bugs too. :xp: j/k Could not agree more with you on that. I really hope Obsidian fixed at least some of those issues in Fallout: New Vegas. Fallout 3 is almost unplayable. Thankful I learned to save and save often from playing TSL, which was the most bug-ridden game until Fallout 3 came out.

 

I'm actually expecting Fallout: New Vegas to be intriguing at the very least. I understand many of you believe I have no taste in games, because I like Oblivion, Fallout 3, Mass Effect, Mass Effect 2, Fable 2 and the rest of you question me because I like TSL better than KotOR. However, I do like Bethesda games. My only major grip with them is the utter lack of development of the NPCs within their game. Everything else is either tolerable or fixable with mods. I just thoroughly enjoy the exploration within their games. I’m hoping Obsidian does what it does best and actually develops the characters within the game. That plus Bethesda game mechanics and modders eventual fixes have me really looking forward to playing Fallout: New Vegas.

 

Even if I was utterly disappointed with Obsidian last attempt at making a saleable/playable game, I’m still somewhat excited about this, just muted that excitement somewhat considering Obsidian’s track record.

No taste? You just listed games I enjoyed pretty much, well, scrap Oblivion from it. That one was just a wee bit to bland. Compared to Morrowind.

 

Played a lot of Fallout 3, I didn't buy on release though. Infact I waited a long time. So when I started I got enjoy all the mods, patches and such. Which mend I didn't encounter to many crashes or annoying bugs.

 

Not sure if I'll go for this expansion. Sound nice obsidian is on to this, but I still need to play A.P. Sort of holding of cause I've got some other games to finish first. Which where more important.

 

STARCRAFT 2!!!

which I already finished... *sigh*

Apparently the intro cinematic for New Vegas got an "exclusive preview", trappings and all, and was released to the public. Keep in mind that it could spoil the fun for some, but overall it contains nothing new and all of the plot points have already been revealed nearly a year ago.

Also note that video seems to be edited (The "One Month Later" sequence is questionable, especially when it uses an odd font, as well as the segment after that that seems to be a carbon-copy of the teaser, albeit poorly spliced together), so this isn't the bona-fide final copy, I think.

Nothing particularly new or surprising.
True, but still somewhat interesting.

 

Love how they keep stating how much better their incarnation of Fallout is compared to Bethesda’s Capitol Wasteland. I hope they are not just trying to sell me a Yugo while calling it a Cadillac. Still they already have my money, preorder the regular edition for the PC from Amazon.

Well, it's not like they'd have to try very hard to live up to that claim... :¬:

Weak. I pre-ordered the Collector's Edition :kamina:
After AP, I'd only go as far as regular edition, I went Collector's Edition with Fable 3 (also got it for the 360).

I thought that too until I finally listen to Jeff and updated my video driver on my new computer, now the game is actually enjoyable to play (with about 40 mods going to get rid of almost all of the other annoyances. I just hope Fallout: New Vegas is just as easy to mod.
