I'm getting it only if it has some color to it, I liked Fallout 3 but everything was just so dark and bland looking it made you feel depressed. If I do end up liking it then I hope they do what they did with 3 adding in lots and lots of DLC.

Yeah other colours would be fun, the all grey with a tad of green is pretty depressing after a while!

Just so you guys know this is a totally separate game that has NOTHING to do with Fallout 3 and it is NOT even being developed by Bethesda. This is totally new and totally different. In my opinion if its not developed by Bethesda it going to suck.

I dunno I think it might be a good thing. Because of Fallout 3's popularity I doubt there gonna change the core mechanics of the game (Vats/Perks/Choices/Etc). Which means most of there changes will be aesthetic besides Obsidian isn't a bad developer.

Bethesda Tasks Obsidian With Fallout Vegas

By Joe Haygood | April 20, 2009

As most will tell with my horrible photoshop skills, there is a new Fallout coming to gamers, but the bigger news is not the location, but the team that will be behind the magic. At a Bethesda event, Pete Hines stated that Fallout Vegas would not be an add-on, like the Shivering Isles add-on for Oblivion, but a completely seperate game, existing in the Fallout universe.

Pete did say that the game would not be a “Fallout Tactics” or “Brotherhood of Steel” game, but an RPG that takes all that was done in Fallout 3, but migrates the setting to a new area, not yet explored in a Fallout game. Also, Bethesda seems confident that Obsidian can handle development of the title, as a number of Obsidian employees come from Black Isle, the developer behind the first two Fallout games.

I have to admit that I am all for this new Fallout game. Vegas should be a great setting, as it has so many recognizable landmarks, and so much that relates to the Fallout universe, including prostitution, gambling, and an all about sense of anything-goes attitude. I guess the only issue I can see that might hurt the game is its location in regards to military targets. Being located so close to Nellis AFB, it would be a prime target for a nuclear strike, decimating most of Las Vegas in the process of said bombing. I guess we can overlook that one technicality. I also want to make sure that we can make a side visit or DLC to Groom Lake AFB, aka, Area 51. It is an obvious location that could work into the story so perfectly.

What do you guys and gals think of this development? Love it or hate it? Did you want to see Bethesda working on the development of Fallout Vegas, or are you excited for a new location? Make sure to comment below.

I just hope they make the game so the level cap is higher than a mere 20... 30 if you got broken steel...

Well if much of the dev team for Obsidian is from Black Isle which did the first two then I suppose it won't be that bad. Still, no one can touch Bethesda in terms of making a completely awesome game.
