Fallout: New Vegas to be entirely in pastel colors

Rockville, MD. Bethesda announced today that the next Fallout game, New Vegas, will be created entirely in a pastel color palette.

"We had really thought that browns and grays were crucial to capturing the very essence of a post-apocalyptic landscape, but after reading many complaints in Kotaku forums about the limited color palette of Fallout 3, we have realized that we were dead wrong," Bethesda's President of Marketing, Ted Sandill, said.

"We're going to add tons of rainbows, frolicking puppies, playful kittens, and cuddly bunnies to New Vegas. Maybe some majestic unicorns. We will also change the colors of weapons and accessories. Power armor, for example, will now be exclusive mauve. That should really push the color palette to broader horizons and strengthen the impression of total nuclear armageddon," Sandill added.

Sandill said that Bethesda is enlisting Paas and Lisa Frank to make sure that New Vegas turns out to be the product that choosy gamers really desire.

This is sarcasm with class

[Forbidden_Darkness]

and to think some people will probally take this seriously...

lol

[J@D]

sure, it was but u have to admit it was a funny read lol.

[Avenged Sevenfold]

Lol, the title got me. Hehe, fun read. Can't wait to some of the reactions on here though =P.

at J@D
hmmmm....Urahara Kisuke ftw.

[Sarcasm]

So basically they are making it look like Halo 3.

Pow! Right in the kisser!

[evrfighter]

Blizzard beat them to it

@ Avenged Sevenfold:

It's much better that mr. blue hair panther over there... yeah, im a bleach fan and also a kisure urahara fan.

[ironwolf777]

For one painfull moment I thought that headline might be legit.

I thought maybe a Borderlands angle.

Fuk I'm easy sometimes.

[TheDuke77]

That's hilarious, the headline made me think of borderlands too. Thank god they arent going the same way Borderlands did

[Swamp@ss]

Don't forget Starburst ammunition and Lucky Charms Leprechaun boss fight.

[sunil]

Wonder how they will respond to the people complaining about bugs in their game !!

Must be more of the sarcasm

[Dawn_Of_Ashes]

hahahaha funny

[Nihilism]

i get the sarcasm, but the author is obviously too stupid to realise that bethesda is not developing the game... if they had written someone from obsidian had sad that more people may have been fooled, if you wanna be sarcastic you have to go all out...make it seem semi plausible

[Gamer_Z]

Bethesda forget fallout make more elder scrolls

[Elven6]

Bethesda isn't working on any currently announced Fallout games. The ones currently in development are being handled by Interplay and Obsidian Entertainment.

[Christopher]

Yeah, there is hope that they're working on something big for an Elder game and that's why they are having someone else work on Fallout Vegas.

And, thank you Bethesda for the appropriate response to the critics on the art.

[ZombieNinjaPanda]

EDIT:

Okay that comment of mine was terribly worded.

That headline made me think it was legit. imagine how amazing this would be, like..barbie with guns. I can see it now...

[Shadow017]

Yes always wanted to play with the cuddly bunnies and the magical unicorns and the kittens

[butterfinger]

we know.

[CaitSith]

=D

[XxThe-RemedyXx]

What are they crazy? Halo already did that. Way to rip ideas off from Bungie!

Edit: I just had to add this ---> I'm kidding.

[itsralf]

i bet you feel like a fool, xbot.

[XxThe-RemedyXx]

Just pick up Halo.

[dkgshiz]

no

[LiquidJordan]

But seriously though, the bland colors of Fallout 3 only added to the immersion in the game. I can't imagine a colorful, post-apocolyptic wasteland.

[Nihilism]

sh!t dude i accidentally thumbed you down, here's your chance for revenge....i really hate phantom disagree-ers

[edhe]

and made discovering colour all the more welcome in the game.

It really pulled it off well, those who disliked the idea of started out basically lost, or the colour palette etc were just refusing to get immersed.

[Grandreaper9999]

Sounded like a Blizzard press release.

[decimalator]

Fallout meets Bayonetta?

[dkgshiz]

Wheres Elder Scrolls? Hopefully Bethesda comes out with Elder Scrolls 5. I'm really not caring for the fallout series at all.

[BonhamZ0S0]

Dude, Fallout is Oblivion with guns. Maybe you're just more into the Obivion universe. Nonetheless, they're both great games.

[NewNameNow]

Knew it was fake right around "after reading many complaints in Kotaku forums". Nobody takes Kotaku seriously.

[thegood33]

compared to this site, Kotaku is perfection

[KidMakeshift]

I don't know what Bethesda (and any unreal engine game) has against Roy G Biv, but some color would be welcomed

Also, it would be nice if characters in the game didn't move like Disneyland animatronics.

[starvinbull]

But if gamers wanted pastel colours they would just play Diablo 3

[modest-genius]

How mature. It wouldn't hurt them to actually listen to complaints people had about the game.

Why does the game have to be brown? How about a pale yellow desert, snow, etc.

[Kakihara]

That was just beautiful, reading the first two sentences of this I was thinking, 'What are they out of their minds' then the talk of unicorns and rainbows came in. Well done.

I'm still worried about this game though. I wish Bethesda were creating it. Fallout 3 has to be my top game of all time but I couldn't stand Oblivion since I hate all that Orcs and Goblins and Mages corny 'fantasy' crap.

[Bigpappy]

They can't listen to gamers. Gamers are supposed to buy the finished product if they like it, not tell artist how to make their creation. Loud mouth games always get the developers to screw-up their work. Please do not listen to gamers!
