Fallout: New Vegas: Huge Comparison Shots with Fallout 3

Some impressive comparison screenshots of Fallout: New Vegas and Fallout 3 in High Definition.

[Hellsvacancy]

Lol, they look exactly the same, which doesnt bother me at all, i liked the way Fallout 3 looked, as long as they make Vegas longer, more violent and let u b able 2-do more stuff id b VERY happy

Day 1 baby

[vhero]

Exactly but whats the point? This sites just comparing a ton of games for hits and nothing more.. They are really annoying..

[tdrules]

do you honestly think most gaming sites rely on N4G?
negro please.
anyway the game looks horrible and unrealistically green, as usual

[Nihilism]

wtf, are people honestly complaining about a lack of realism in games...

make sure you protest next time there is game released where you can take more than 1 bullet without body armour and live, and when a game is released with a skinny female with disproportionately large breasts, or when there is magic...because magic isn't real, and when characters can carry 10 guns on their person while running around...

It's a damn game, and an rpg at that, escapism is the key theme...

I can't wait to get back in the wasteland and mod myself some custom weapons ( super accurate rocket launcher - check.)

[HighDefinition]

You must be new here.......not most but some.

Some site have absolutely gotten their start being able to use N4G as a medium.

PSLS and HHG, just to name a few.

Yeah couldnt agree more, I really liked the style of fallout 3 so im looking forward to more of the same. I also would think the guys have alot in mind story-wise so i would like yourself hope for an even longer campaign, but for me what'll get me hooked will be the side missions and dlc which im sure will be plenty ! :)
Fallout 3 has one of the best dlc catalogues out there :)

[wicko]

Yep, if anyone was expecting a leap in visuals they were kidding themselves. Their engine needs a major overhaul for something like that, and I doubt Obsidian is going to do that for Bethesda. Hopefully that is exactly what Bethesda is working on right now :D

Also buying this day 1. Actually, on 2nd thought I might wait for another GOTY edition, it's nice having all the DLC and the original content on a single disc. By then a lot of issues should be patched as well, although since this is Obsidian it might be more stable :p

[TheHater]

Look at Fallout 3 Game of the Year Edition. It still had all the problems of the original. Very little, if not nothing, was fix from the original version and the game of the year edition.

Brewski007 - a bubble 4 u mofo

I just hope there isnt any of that MS (timed) "exclusive" bussiness, i hated not knowin when/if the dlc would cum 2 the PS3

[Megaton]

Yeah, it's identical, which only bothers me because that engine is the most glitch-ridden thing in the industry today. Still, I absolutely adore Fallout 3, and New Vegas will likely turn out to be my favorite game of the year.

[Cerebellum]

Am I the only one who isn't going to spoil the surprise by looking at FNW pics, screens, vids etc? Save it for day one!!! Boooyah!

[raztad]

I'm diggin Fallout 3 a lot. Love the game. The animations are pure crap though, dont care if VEGAS looks all the same but I hope they improve the animation system. Getting rid of some critical system-crasher bugs would be extremely nice too.

[HeadShot]

But lets just hope they add in some better dialogue. I hated talking to someone that had the same emotionless expression all the time.

[keyserhitman]

which is pretty good giving the fact that the map apprently "dwarfs"
fallout 3's capital wastland

hence the need for vehicles...

cant wait!

Nice! If theres one thing F3 needed it was vehicles. Even with the smaller landscape vehicles would have been awesome.

[gtamike123]

I love the gameplay in fallout 3 so I can't wait for this! :D

[Dark_Overlord]

will it work without having to be patched a half a billion times

[TheXgamerLive]

it's not noticable in these comparisons, which is ok, i loved the look of megaton and fallout 3 and this will be great looking as well. I just hope the story is up to par, and I get as many hrs. from the game as well.

[MexicanAppleThief]

Why are you in the Openzone? That's a good comment, you belong to the left.

[Letros]

Won't be long before New Vegas is overhauled by the modding community for ultra high textures.

Here's what they did with Fallout 3.

Looks like a big expansion pack. I played enough in this bleak world the first time around don't think I'll be putting any time into this one. To many new games coming out to have to re-live the same game twice. Hardcore Fallout 3 fans will love it most likely but it will not sell as much as the original.

[iamgoatman]

I wasn't really expecting a huge difference, and it doesn't bother me one bit that it looks like Fallout 3, that game looked pretty damn good anyway.

Although the gamebryo engine is looking a little dated these days, devs are still knocking out some extremely atmospheric and immersive games using it.

[geth1gh]

I loved fallout 3, and never was a fan of any sort of rpg before that including previous Bethesda games (granted that I never actually tried them).

That said, I am eagerly looking forward to new vegas. I was first let down knowing it would be a diffrent developer using the same engine. Now that I see the screen shots, it looks like the are just developing a giant expansion pack instead of a brand new game.

I hope it at least runs better on the ps3 than f3. the goty edition that I have is pretty bad at some points, but I just try to deal with it since it is such an amazing game.

[anonymouse111335]

looks prettymuch the same, looks like they learned to use better lighting or just took them at a time of day that looks best.

[Gestalt]

It doesn't bother me that it looks the same.

Just please optimize the engine so I don't crash every few minutes or so.

[anonymouse111335]

I agree, fallout 3 was crazy glitchy on all platforms

[djfullshred]

I also agree. I really hope they fix the engine to run on PS3 without all those damn freezes.

[jalen247]

Looks pretty much the same like:

MW/MW2
Gears/Gears 2
Assassin's Creed/Assassin's Creed 2
UFC 2009/UFC 2010
Bioshock/Bioshock 2
Fear/Fear 2
R6 Vegas/R6 Vegas 2
etc...

The only games that have seen significant increase in visual fidelity in its sequel are:

Uncharted/Uncharted2
Fight Night Round 3/Fight Night Round 4
Call of Duty 3/Call of Duty: World at War
etc...

[knowledge4lfe]

the game still looks like shyt. but the 1st 1 was good. just they need to work on the "im floating while i run" problem.

[Lykon]

do sex with poo and dwarfs and stuff, there's no need for that. really

[sbizarre]

It would be pretty cool if the new fallout would allow your char. to fall in love and have some real romance. Its kinda depressing that in fallout 3 my char died without ever knowing love or doing the do.. ^_^

[kraze07]

I agree. Also, not trying to be a perv but i wish they had a sex scene for laying up with that prostitute in Megaton.

[djfullshred]

Looking the same as Fallout 3 = full of win!
