Badass Panda: We compare the similarities and differences between 2 of this generation’s most iconic WRPGs.
Ever since playing Elder Scrolls non-stop years ago, i have loved Bethesda-tagged RPGs. Foolishly, i didn’t jump into Fallout 3 straight away in 2008, but when i did i found out that it was a great game full of things to do, and so i was excited about Fallout: New Vegas.
New Vegas is, perhaps controversially, very similar to Fallout 3. As we pointed out in our review, there are enough new features to keep it fresh, and Obsidian have done a great job to keep Bethesda’s standard. But exactly what they did can sometimes be missed, and so it’s time for a Head2Head comparison!
Roll the music!
…We don’t have any music?
Fallout 3 game designer Bruce Nesmith explains that the upcoming remaster should revise the game's gunplay to be more modern.
Give us FO3 with all the dlc remastered like ESO. Load times faster, quality of life improvements, gun play improvements
I believe it shouldn't just be graphical they should make improvements where they can to make the game better. A simple face lift isn't what's needed
Still my favorite one. I remember getting a digital copy of FO3 when I got FO4(XBO). It was nice to finally play a stable version of the game. Then when I got a Series S it was an even better expierence. Quick resume and FPS boost made it feel like a whole new game. Updated gunplay would be very welcome though. One of the few things FO4 did better.
The rumoured Fallout 3 Remaster is still in development, but it will be years until fans get to play it on new platforms.
Fairly certain we all know that New Vegas isn't getting anything because it's not a Bethesda developed game.
***MS owns both devs, if they want it, a 3rd party will make it. ***
I think the issue is that it's not a Bethesda developed game, not that MS owns both. This is more about Todd.
Yep ... Todd doesn't like getting bettered within his own IP scope.
I still think of the Elder Scrolls spin-off Obsidian pitched similar to New Vegas, but Todd rejected.
Replayed NV more than FO3 ... so I appreciate the FO3 remaster more.
For NV, I'd much prefer a sequel or a spinoff from Obsidian.
It's crazy New Vegas wasn't worked on first to launch alongside Fallout Season 2.
They could have added all the cut content they had planned but didn't have enough development time to add, possibly even expand on it a little more. For example, have the Vegas strip as one big hub over being chopped into smaller sections we have to keep loading into.
The only Fallout game I’ve played, PS3 had to keep stopping every few minutes to save. Next thing I knew the credits were rolling and I never did any side quest. I never replayed the game because of all the bugs the game had.
I've played Fallout 3 more than any game. I lost count many years ago of how many times I finished it. It was my first Platinum trophy. But yeah, it was buggy on PS3 at launch before it got properly patched.
Rebellion's Atomfall is finally out! But what happens if you can't get your hands on it yet? Luckily, here are the top 8 games like Atomfall.
Kinda reminds me of miasmata also with how the navigation works. Not to miasmata's extent but definitely in the same vein
This is a silly comparison because Fallout 3 can not take the same route that Vegas did with it's factions and fan service. Fallout 3 is actually a reboot and primer for the console players to step into the Fallout universe. So factions like the NCR and various events discussed in Vegas would too much of a burden for them.
Comparison lacks a really relevant category: Technical issues.
Fallout New vegas is really poor compared to Fallout3 in this category, Where Fallout3 (VANILLA NO DLC) is probably the most polished product made by Bethesda up to date. Fallout Vegas in the other hand is a real disappointment in this category. Constant freezing, bugs which some of are really bad do some serious damage to the games fun factor.
This is a shame as Vegas (imo) is better in pretty much everything else.
Head2Head? Seems like every website out there is trying to rip off someones else's idea. At least attempt to come up with an original comparison name for your stuff. Pathetic!
