Just saw this on AOTS tonight. Really doesn't show much about the game or the story but Fallout was one of my favorite games to I'll be picking this one up when it comes out.

Fallout was a great game. I'll keep my eye on this as more info gets released.

Can't. Wait. Love. Bethesda.

USA Today wrote an article on this game, read it HERE (http://www.usatoday.com/printedition/life/20100216/fallout16_st.art.htm)



here are some highlights:

Unlike the previous Fallouts, where you start in a vault and you are a vault dweller, this one starts with a curveball

Vegas is up and running. It is not a ghost town. It still exists and thrives. There are casinos, and you can go down onto the Strip. It will have a very different feel from that standpoint

...a self-contained story. You don't have to have played the previous games to have any clue what's going on here.

You were a courier, and you were obviously carrying something that somebody wanted, part of the story is finding out what you had and what they took

totally looking forward to this one.

of all the new screen shots i found HERE (http://www.gamepro.com/screens-hd/164375/fallout-new-vegas/), this is the one that disappoints me the most.

The thing that bothered me the absolute most about Fallout 3 is how horribly bland and recycled all the NPCs were. How many times have i seen this chick and heard her voice but been forced to pretend that she is a new character? I felt as if there were only 4 or 5 human character skins and voices, and 2 ghoul voices, male and female. When you have a world as big as this with so many characters it becomes very apparent when you recycle the textures and voices. Borderlands did it pretty bad too but luckily there where very few places that have random townsfolk type characters so it was easier to dismiss
