I figured that since some folks on this forum are interested in New Vegas, I might as well start a thread. I'll post info as it is released. I'm going to be using No Mutants Allowed as my source since they are pretty much the best place to go for up to date info.
What's new?
* It shows the command wheel for followers, with 8 commands: toggle melee/ranged, open inventory, toggle stay close/keep distance, back up, toggle aggressive/passive AI, use stimpack, toggle wait here/follow me, return to normal dialogue.
* Scripting is wittier, characters more distinct. Example from vigour test word association: mother-human shield.
* Opening inventory consists of a kit from the doc, adapted to your starting stats (like Fallout 1).
* The Nevada area is less affected by the nuclear war, so it has plant life, relatively unspoiled houses, and in visual presentation has saturated colours and a bright sky.
* There's a tutorial (led by a character named Sunny who looks a lot like Moira Brown), but unlike Fallout 3, it's optional, so you can hit the open game in 5 minutes from starting.
* NCR and Caesar's Legion are the confirmed faction, article assumes Brotherhood of Steel will be in but they weren't not mentioned in the presentation.
* "In New Vegas it's all about the player examining the ideologies of the various groups that are controlling the area and supporting one over the others," explains Sawyer. "Each of the ideologies will have something good that you can relate to, but will also have massive flaws."
* When asked about PS3's Fallout 3 being inferior to the others and if New Vegas will do better, Obsidian devs make no promises but indicate it was a learning process and they're working with all 3 platforms and all have problems.
* The New Vegas strip is still in construction but will have gambling, variety shows and concerts.
* Electrical power is key in the faction struggle.
* Radiation is still a problem, there's a nuclear test site to explore north of New Vegas.
* The soundtrack will blend "Rat Pack style tunes with more Western numbers".
* New Vegas doesn't tell a single-player story, but weaves decision into the gameworld and gives you greater power to influence things than Fallout 3 did.
* On top of adding back in geckos, New Vegas has a whole new type of animal: mutated mountain rams called Big Horners.

A Few more things:
Your Parnters will have a much more involved part in the story. Their will be a Karma system that scores all the stuff you do in the game and then their will be a reputation stat with individual towns and groups. Some of your party members will conflict with some of these places and you will have to help them resolve problems in their story too.
Also more weapon customization. Images I've seen have had things like extended clip size and makeshift magnification sights. Plus you can refine and restore old weapons as well. Generally they said alot more weapons than usual too so if you don't want to bother with upgrading guns and whatnot you can make it on what you find.
Rumor is their might be a realism mode or aspect to it where you have to drink water and eat food and things like you would find in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. but that's just rumor for now.

I keep forgetting to update this. Hopefully we will see a larger batch of Info come out soon and I'm just glad the Three Stooges (Pete, Todd, and Emil) are staying out of New Vegas.

I wish I had some juicy stuff to report, but Bethsoft has been releasing info very slow. when is it out? And will it be for PS3? I think it comes out this October and it's coming to 460,PC, and PS3. |

Um....Don't they LOATHE fallout 3, and call it 'Oblivion with guns' ? Hell I seem to remember a while ago seeing some thread where a bunch of people were saying fallout 2 was somehow ruining the series (Something about how coins instead of bottle caps was "destroying the setting") Maybe that place changed totally, dunno |

But thankful this isn't NMA and I can call Todd Howard, Pete Hines and Emil the three stooges of dumbfuckery. |
