PlayStation Future – Fallout: New Vegas Review
Fallout: New Vegas is the latest instalment in the Fallout franchise, which spans over 13 years in the video game industry. The Fallout series follows an alternate future to our own, where nuclear war breaks out across the planet in the year 2077, each instalment of the main series focuses on mankind’s survival in the wastelands of America, with the events of Fallout: New Vegas taking place in 2281 in the state of what is currently known as Nevada – namely Las Vegas (four years after the events of Fallout 3 in Washington D.C.). The bombs never directly hit New Vegas, but that’s not to say that mankind isn’t struggling to survive in the Mojave wastes.
The background story sounds remarkable, but does Fallout: New Vegas recreate the incredible adventure produced by Bethesda with Fallout 3? Or does the game fall victim to what so many other franchises have collapsed into – being carbon copies of their predecessors?
