I don't think that screen is from Fallout 3. I don't remember seeing that sign anywhere.

 

[UnidentifiedFlyingTard]

that's because it was photoshopped in to the picture.

 

[Jet1337]

What makes you so sure?

 

[Aphyosis]

What makes you so sure?

Because it has all the hallmarks of a appalling shop job?

 

[SharkClub]

What makes you so sure?

Look closely.

...

Ok?

You see the size of the damn sign!?

 

[Per]

Also they overdid the distance haze on it.

 

[UncannyGarlic]

Actually the sign doesn't have enough distance haze, notice how washed out the terrain around and in front of it is yet you can still see the detail? Now look at the sign, it's way darker (no haze in front of it) and it's pure black (with the exception of a couple of hazy lines over it). Also, as has been pointed out, it's way to big and in the wrong place (the sign is towards the end of the strip which is completely flat land). It's a bad shop.

If I stick Presley`s face on Megaton Sheriff`s model, who is standing next to nuclear bomb - you`ll tell me that this must be from new vegas cause you haven`t seen Presley in F3?

LOL, I get it.

Your kidding right?

I`m glad.

Guys, it was CONFIRMED as photoshopped by OXM themselves...

 

[Brother None]

I asked the guys at OXM about the Obsidian/Bethesda gaffe, and the editor responded:

http://www.duckandcover.cx/forums/viewtopic.php?t=23581

I can't believe people tagged this as a "gaffe". It's obviously not. It's normal to present a game with whatever related name is most well-known regardless of it being on producing, publishing or developing level.

I've not seen any ads for 9 as "Shane Acker's 9". Why? Who the fuck knows who Shane Acker is. It's "Tim Burton's 9", because people know Tim Burton.

Ergo. Hence. It's perfectly normal.

 

[UnidentifiedFlyingTard]

Doesn't mean I have to like it.

 

[Ausir]

You're not OXM's target audience.

 

[maximaz]

I was at Border's today and flipped through the March issue of OXM, which I guess is the one that came out today, and there is absolutely NOTHING about New Vegas in it. What gives?

 

[Ausir]

Was it OXM US? The preview is in OXM UK.

 

[Brother None]

OXM UK only. In the US, only PC Gamer has a New Vegas preview this month, OXM and PSM3 come next month.

 

[Sam Ecorners]

I can't believe there are no scans yet. My copy won't be here for a while - flying across the ocean and all.

 

[Brother None]

OXM are the ones reviewing it on what was - for Fallout 3 - the core development console (wonder if it's the same for Obsidian, probably so), but still, they're shown the same thing.

Though NMA's preview proves you can always get more even if being shown the same. It's just a matter of a good eye and hand, and enough room to write expansively.
