Fallout: New Vegas has some mindboggling stats

BrutalGamer's Zeth Ward writes:

According to a blog post sent via PR earlier today, that deals with the creation of the Strategy Guide, there are some serious numbers at work in Fallout: New Vegas. For instance there are over 200 primary locations in the game. That figure is fine on it's own until you realise there are about another 200 secondary locations too.

If its as good as Fallout 3, ill be more than happy

[Hellsvacancy]

My thoughts exactly

+1 2 u mofo

I cant wait for Fallout Vegas

:-)

I played about 10/15 mins of it this weekend and it plays pretty much like Fallout 3. The weapons seem a bit "meatier" but I still had my arse handed to me on several occasions by some flying bee/butterfly type things.

All in all it felt like it was on the right track to be Fallout 3.5 which most would agree is a good thing :D

[visualb]

because I KNOW GoTY edition will come out 6 months later for the same price and 2x the content ='(

[JsonHenry]

If this anything like Fallout 3 I'm sold.

*cough cough* I feel another week long flu coming on, boss. *cough*

[RowSand]

man i miss fallout 3 specially this music when you wondering around in the wastland

[Megaton]

Yeah, I loved that ambient background music. Really added to the feeling of being utterly alone in a destroyed world.

[Active Reload]

I thought you were talking about the GNR soundtrack. That soundtrack introduced me to a few groups I never knew of.

[BatClarkeee]

fallout new vegas is going to be great.

[kaos_fish II]

Nice,

400 locations and 160 side/free roam quests.. another 200+hrs of my life gone.

Sweet!

[zagibu]

Oblivion had zillions of generic caves and dungeons. I'm not sure mass is what people should be excited about.

[SexyPrawns]

That's just...mindbottling...

[gman_moose]

Since I never played it... hell, at $20, how can I go wrong?

I wonder if New Vegas is kind of a sequel or a stand alone?

[moosehound]

as dirt cheap as Fallout 3 is you would be robbing yourself of a great game not to pick it up - even with New Vegas out in a couple of weeks.

It's not a direct sequel as far as I know just exists in the same "universe" and timeline.

Looks awesome so far.

[gman_moose]

I just ordered it for PS3. I know it's not as smooth as the 360 version, but better than nothing I guess.

[Elven6]

Arghhh! The "original Fallout" is Fallout on PC, I'm tired of hearing people constantly refer to Fallout 3 as the first!

/End Fallout fan rant.

But yeah, good game, enjoy!

[Shadowstar]

lol, when I see people say that, I have always assumed they really do mean they want some old school isometric gaming.

[Zinc]

@Shadowstar - Actually, I wouldn't mind some good old school isometric gaming. When I go back and replay fallout 1/2/Tactics, I still enjoy it and it is very playable, even after years have passed and gaming tastes have changed.

[gman_moose]

Sorry, mistype on my part. I of course meant Fallout 3 (original edition, not GOTY)

[steve08]

One of my top 5 this gen Fallout 3 so i cannot wait for NV

[cygnuszero]

Reluctant about this one. I love fallout 3, but I just have this feeling this game will not be as good. Not just bc it isnt made by Bethesda like FO3 was, but more just from the gameplay vids ive seen, it looks kind of ugly. Not that the visuals are the most important thing, but it helps.

[moosehound]

Hmmmm I can understand that mate yes.

To be honest for a moment Fallout 3 was not the best looking of games. It was good for an open world RPG BUT it was hardly pushing the boundary visually.

I can say that the GFX on F: New Vegas are better than Fallout 3 but they still have an odd brownie goldie sheen to them that makes them look a little odd. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised with the visuals when it ships.

It's the story & longevity that I'm most worried about. Obsidian should be able to handle this title - heck they did the first 2 Fallouts after all :)

Looking forward to it ;)

[Triggs]

When Fallout 3 was about to be released, I had my worries that Bethesda was doing it, not the folks who did Fallout and Fallout 2. But I was pleasantly surprised how addicting the adventure and exploration was, so I was happy how Bethesda handled Fallout 3 adventurewise. The change to First Person Perspective I liked, too. Now Obsidian is back caring for their baby then I am confident this game will be worth it. Two more weeks to go baby!!!

[vampstreak]

awesome

[SuperStrokey1123]

Im very impressed with this game but im taking a wait and see attitude with it just in case. It hopefully will be great though.

[moosehound]

It won't be a day 1 purchase for me but that is more due to time than anything else. I just don't have the time until nearer Xmas/the new year to dedicate to this style of game. Oh but when I do this will be first on my list for sure!

[King-Leonidas]

sorry i cannot read in english. Can someone summarize what´s being said there? Thank you.

[XsteveJ]

I could, but it would be pointless for me to sit here and tell you all about it, considering the fact that I'm writing in english.

But I suppose that means this post is useless too...

[King-Leonidas]

?? IT´S A MIRACLE ZEUS HAS BLESSED ME WITH THE MIRACLE OF LANGUAGES I CAN UNDERSTAND YOU

[limewax]

I just really hope the story is better, dont get me wrong, Im not saying the whole story was bad, Just the endings, I could have pulled better ones out of a certain area of myself. I loved the game but the ending/s were such letdowns that I lost all interest in post-game play other than the side quests (I know you cant post-game but you all know what I mean im sure)

Great game, great formula, please back it up with a great story and ending. This was what killed Oblivion for me too, My biggest regret is completing the story before enjoying the amazing worlds more

[BeOneWithTheGun]

the first thing I did in Oblivion when I came out of the sewer was RAN! Any direction! I finally got into the story mode when I was level 15 or so.

[limewax]

Fallout: New vegas = > Fallout 3

Sorry if it doesnt help, am hoping maths is universal

Or 400+ places to go, 100+ optional missions

[bobdog626]

I mean Cmon Guys Fallout 3 Oblivion and GTA was Huge Games and all fit on a Single Dvd.It took me a long time to finish them.Seems to me that the space is not that big of a Deal anymore.Anybody care to comment?

[Mastodon]

So what you're saying is:

You decided to use this GREAT game to try to edge in a comment about some silly console war? Are you for real?

Blu Ray increases the density of the content. The uncompressed textures that a DVD could do but doesn't because it eats space. The uncompressed audio that a DVD could do but it doesn't because it eats space, and that is about it.

If Fallout was exclusive to PS3 it would not only be just as big but it would probably look better than Rage and play more solid than Uncharted - that's because the game would be uncompressed and worked on for a 25 gig disc instead of a 8.5 gig disc. And this is coming from someone who plays games for the design and gameplay - I could give a damn about graphics or the sound.

Can't we just enjoy video games for I don't know gaming sake without stupid comments that are needless?

On Topic:

Man, I'm jonesin' for this game I just got all my Fallout 3 Achievements and replayed 1 and 2 - weeee I can't wait much longer...

[MRMagoo123]

I would rather of had another oblivion game i found it alot more fun than fallout with guns

[BeOneWithTheGun]

but I have to agree with you. Oblivion sucked my soul and I still listen to the soundtrack on Grooveshark when I am at work. Talk about making you jones for some cave dwelling....

[hazelamy]

and if it's anything like fallout 3 those numbers will pale into insignificance compared to the number of bugs.
