Posted: Tue May 11, 2010 3:20 pm [ Game -> Preview ] - More info on Company: Obsidian Entertainment | More info on Game: Fallout: New Vegas



Bethesda has released the details of the Fallout: New Vegas collector's edition. Here's the info: The Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC versions of the CE will all include the following: ♠ Seven “Lucky 7” poker chips, each designed to represent chips from the major casinos found on the New Vegas strip and throughout the Mojave Wasteland. ♠ A fully customized Fallout: New Vegas deck of cards. Each card in the pack has been uniquely illustrated to depict characters and factions found within the game. Use the cards to play poker, blackjack or Caravan, an original card game that was created by Obsidian especially for New Vegas. ♠ A recreation of the game’s highly coveted “Lucky 38” platinum chip. ♠ A hardcover graphic novel “All Roads” that tells the story of some of the characters and events that lead up to Fallout: New Vegas. “All Roads” was written by Chris Avellone, the game’s creative director, and created in conjunction with Dark Horse Comics. ♠ ‘The Making of Fallout: New Vegas’ DVD. This documentary DVD will contain exclusive video content, including interviews with the developers in which they take you from concept to creation and discuss topics such as story, setting, legacy of the Fallout franchise and more. North Americans can pre-order at any participating retailer — like GameStop — starting today. European pre-orders will be available throughout Europe in the weeks to come.

Posted: Tue May 11, 2010 4:05 pm The graphic novel is the only thing I'd look forward to, but I'd be just as happy looking at it on a computer screen then in my hands, meh.

Posted: Tue May 11, 2010 5:23 pm Apparently the PC version is $10 cheaper than the console version. Too bad I don't have $70 to blow on something that probably won't be worth any money.

Posted: Tue May 11, 2010 5:38 pm PC games are always cheaper than games for consoles. The only exception being Modern Warfare 2 because the people at Activision are complete money grubbing assholes.



Since the comic book was made in tandem with Dark Horse I'm hoping I can buy it separate. I'd really like too - because I'm planning on snagging New Vegas off steam when all of its DLC's come out. Sick and tired of gaming companies wanting you to waste money on that so instead I'm just going to buy the whole goddamn bundle next year.

I know, Gimp Mask, you don't give a shit about who I am or what I think (I do respect you as a long-standing DAC cardholding member) so that much is understood.



However, I'm so sick of this rhetoric from the hardcore base. I am the hardcore base, dammit. As someone who is as cast-iron Fallout 1 and Fallout 2 as it gets, I don't understand how any fellow devote of the franchise wouldn't give every single reasonable sequel (e.g., not P.O.S.) a chance.



For God sakes, New Vegas is as close to the origins - to our Black Isle peeps - as it can get in the year 2010. Count your blessings that Chris Avellone is fucking doing a graphic novel w/ Darkhorse. God dammit people. It's okay to give New Vegas a chance w/ out selling your soul to Bethsoft and looking like a Fallout Johnny-come-lately. We should be encouraging these ex-Black Isle folks and be encouraged by them in turn.



P.S. Most of the news coming from New Vegas has been good news.

Posted: Wed May 12, 2010 5:55 am srsly. Fallout fans have been given the spiel, "Hey, this new idea, you're going to love it," with Tactics, FOBOS and Fallout 3. While Tactics was the only one of those three titles with entertainment value (Fallout 3 doesn't count as it's entertainment value comes from user mods), the best of those three entries still wasn't Fallout.

Posted: Wed May 12, 2010 7:33 am I am far more hopeful with F:NV than with F3 - but it's still early yet.



Quit counting the sequels before they're made or w/e the old saying is.

chillax macky, i just like the extras whereas the game itself doesn't seem all that interesting. and i did give a fair chance to both tactics and f3. i see where you're coming from mang but i wouldn't call my skepticism unfounded considering the shortcomings of the previous three instalments in the fallout saga; new vegas has a pretty short development time and uses the same engine as f3 so i think it's mostly a matter of trying to polish a turd. sorry if i'm not super excited about the whole thing
