Oner Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Maybe I'm going out on a limb here, but I'm pretty much 100% sure if you hated Fallout 3, you will still not like FO:NV. Just take a look at KotOR and KotOR 2, they were not dramatically different. Obsidian did some neat stuff with the sequel, but don't expect an entirely different game. I didn't hate KOTOR, but I thought it was very average and forgivable. KOTOR 2 I thought was great. Good story/characters/dialogs go a VERY long way in my book. Hurl's talking mostly about gameplay.

I honestly believe he's going to be tinkering with a lot of things, if not outright fixing them. Join me, and we shall make Production Beards a reality!

Slowtrain Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Sawyer being the big 'ol Systems Queen that he is, I honestly don't know how you'd expect New Vegas to be mechanically similar to its predecessor to a great degree. I honestly believe he's going to be tinkering with a lot of things, if not outright fixing them. My hope tends to agree with you completely. However, my hope also believed the that the alien crpg would not be cancelled. My hope lets me down a lot. Notice how I can belittle your beliefs without calling you names. It's a useful skill to have particularly where you aren't allowed to call people names. It's a mistake to get too drawn in/worked up. I mean it's not life or death, it's just two guys posting their thoughts on a message board. If it were personal or face to face all the usual restraints would be in place, and we would never have reached this place in the first place. Try to remember that.

Starwars Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Don't really care too much about Namco distribution or whatever, but it is interesting to see that they appear to still be aiming for 2010.

Oner Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Thanks. Weeell, 1,5-2 years is enough to pull together a decent game IMO. More time won't/wouldn't hurt of course.

Gorgon Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 (edited) Although, we can't really be surprised. Bethesda was one of the pioneers of the salami approach to selling games after all.

crakkie Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 Fallout 2's dev time was about 1.5 to 2 years I believe. In that they added the car, new companion controls, a gameworld twice the size of the original (both world map and visitable locations), dense and complex areas like Vault City and New Reno, new guns/armor/weapons/talking heads, and even had time to add far too many easter eggs, too much goofy floating text, and an awful tutorial level. They should have an ample amount of time to make FONV, if they use it well. Oh Jimmy, you were so funny. Don't let me down. From habit he lifts his watch; it shows him its blank face. Zero hour, Snowman thinks. Time to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walsingham Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 Or they could solve it by giving us a perk that ups the sneaking speed so you can run and sneak at the same time. When I was exploring the wasteland of Fallout 3 I was sneaking almost the entire time! It worked well (either by me surprising my enemies for an insta-kill or me just sneaking past stuff) but it took ages to get anywhere. And I'm one of (seemingly) few people who enjoy wandering across desolate landscapes.. I'd suggest a variant on this. Long range 'sneaking' by virtue of the survival talent. Call it 'sauntering' for the truly cool post-apocalyptic hep cat. You basically radiate the right vibes for anything near by which might otherwise consider nailing you. For added cool make the PC physically change how they are moving. So if there are ghouls nearby then they shamble, if there are yao guai they lumber, if there are soldiers then they march. That way you could see what was nearby as soon as your skill kicks in. "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete. Disappointed by Universe. RIP Hades/Sand/etc. Here's hoping your next alt has a harp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
