With the scans widely available, we thought we'd chuck up the images from PC Gamer, including two shots (the last two) that don't seem to be on the most commonly available scans.

Thanks go to Play3.de.
 
I'm really intrigued by the flamer weapon and armor in the 4th pic, they look cool.
 
There are no two ways about this... this game looks like shit.

I don't know what I was expecting, but I was hoping that they'd at least be able to create NPC faces that didn't look like plastic.

And that Super Mutant looks like an orc... would it be too much to ask to simply reskin these?

Of course it does. Honestly, were you really expecting something else? This is a standalone add-on, they always just look like their source game. Obsidian wasn't going to magically pretty up Fallout 3.
 
You guys should be happy, you know this is probably the best it's going to get with Bethesda owning the series. At least New Vegas will be better than Fallout 3 in about... every... single... aspect, but maybe not graphically.
 
And possibly not in technical stability either.

I'm really only having high expectations when it comes to story. How interesting the NPCs and factions are. They're really going to have to outdo themselves there if they want to make up for running with Fallout 3's shitty engine, mechanics and graphics.

It's not hard to outdo Bethesda there, obviously, the bar's pretty low, but like I said, I don't expect them to outdo Bethesda, I'd like to see something reminiscent of Fallout's quality in writing and quest design. If anyone can pull that off, it's Obsidian.

So yeah, I'm happy. Many of us are. Some are still stuck in grumpy old man mode.

Why should I be happy? If somebody tries to feed me shit, but calls it fillet mignon, I'm still going to call it shit.

Will it be better written than Fallout3? Yeah... but Dead of Alive Extreme Volleyball had better writing than Fallout 3.

The end of the day, this will probably end up like a gimped shooter / RPG with brutal animations and lame, dated graphics. And VATS... and a grenade machinegun... and a Supermutant with a wig and glasses... argh.

I still have some vague hope that this will be decent, but most of what I've seen so far hasn't left me much hope.

It's that grenade machinegun.
 
At this stage im just clinging to the hope of a good story, characters, atmosphere and gameplay. Graphics don't make a game for me, so i can look past that, but so far my initial optimism has been up and down about this constantly in regards to the other features i require to cherish a game.

KOTOR 2 looked mostly just like the previous part but some of the new character models were really nice like Visas, Nihilious, Kreia, Sion and G0T0.
 
Anyway, rather than falling back to the same debate we're having in different threads (we always tend to do this), what about what's new in the newspost?



I like this. Looks more destroyed than I expected, but nice piece.



I'm not too sure about this new armor. It looks pretty cool, but the gasmask doesn't look particularly 50s, it looks more like cool for a modern-day-ish shooter.

It looks pretty ambiguous. I wouldn't say it doesn't fit in the setting. Is that a vertical double-barreled (double cylinder) revolver, or are my eyes playing tricks on me?
 
let's face it. fallout is dead. and there is no hope like after bombs blast. what a irony...
 
I swear, you guys are huger graphics whores then most thirteen-year old CoD junkies.

Anyway, that flamethrower gun somebody mentioned is an automatic grenade launcher.

Not really, I remember seeing a guy say "They should remake CoD4 with better graphics".

I'd rather Fallout: NV be on the Source engine. The way faces are done in the Fallout 3 engine hurts me. Physically. It makes me mildly self-cannibalistic where I want to chew off my mouse hand to escape.

Yeah yeah. There's a difference between obsession with graphic fidelity versus liking good graphic design. Most of us are from the latter school, not the former. Fallout 3 and - by extension - New Vegas really falls short in both.

Are you guys sure? It looks like a flamer. I mean, what else is the backpack for? It has the nuzzle of a flamer, too.

That's what I was saying but everyone insists that it's the Grenade Launcher Machinegun. I'm really not seeing it from the gun, but I suppose the explosion makes it look like that.

I'm wondering how overpowered this gun is going to be.
