I agree. That being said, would I prefer a Fallout-style dialogue system? Yes. But this isn't a Fallout game, it's a Wasteland game. Overall, this game looks fantastic. It's seriously one of the only games I've been genuinely excited about in the last several years.

It is IGN, after all.

I find it amusing that things like this are now considered "HARDCORE".

Jesus Christ. Also, RPG mechanics in an alleged RPG, whodathunkit.

Yeah, it sure does blow getting <strike>bankrolled</strike> compensated by a couple of large companies with deep pockets to work on two different RPG franchises (Fallout, Dungeon Siege), one of which is near and dear to their hearts. Edit: I'm sure they feel fortunate, BN. Which is why I...

I'm pretty stoked about this. I'm not a hardcore zombie genre fan, but I like zombie movies and games in general. It does look a little like the Sims....

If you want to hear some really shitty, out of place battle music, play Sacred 2.

I see what you guys mean about how the player appears to be skating across the ground while running diagonally. Christ, that looks terrible. I also really dig that music in the trailer. I still haven't played Fallout 3, but I thought I hated the music - but what I really hated was not so much...

I agree. While I can't comment on FO3 as I still haven't played it, I don't find the water chip quest much more interesting than the "find the GECK" quest. Granted, the water chip was a more urgent need, but it was merely a starting point, just like the GECK. A sort of MacGuffin, even?

I've read this paragraph about 10 times now and I'm still not 100% sure what the author meant. Also, I have a headache now.

I believe the title of best Vault Boy pic belongs to the image I use as my avatar.

It's not as if I really NEED to be able to kill children. I don't have some urge to kill children that I need to satisfy through games. It just bugs me that I can't, because I could in the original games. It gives the game much more of a wide-open feel where you can do damn near anything you...

Comparisons to Fallout 3 aside, the NV demo was pretty boring. Gambling minigames and some mediocre combat don't really make for an exciting demo. Tactical? I guess it was tactical. You can attack from this direction, or that direction. I don't get The Old Republic, though. That trailer they...

BUT E3 IS EXCITING BROTHER NONE! WE'RE TALKING ABOUT GODDAMN VIDEOS GAMES, AFTER ALL! Not the bulk of IGN's target audience, anyway. :roll:

During this demo with JE Sawyer, he talks about how you can basically kill anyone (then quickly corrects himself when the interviewer brings up children). Fast forward to the 3:10 mark or so. http://gamevideos.1up.com/video/id/29981 Damn unkillable children. Is Obsidian bringing back groin...

I semi-raged at the VATS comment, then realized he was using "VATS" as a generic catch-all term for combat. I love that sound, incidentally. Most of my favorite Fallout sound effects are from combat, from the gunfire to the critical hit splatters and squishes.

It's quite common to leave developers' names off of cover art, isn't it?

You must be confusing the publisher of Knights of the Old Republic with the developer of both KOTOR2 and Fallout: NV. I guess. Also, Rogue Squadron is the only LA game with any replayability? Really? And I don't see the link between replayability and originality/bugginess, except that if a...

Fuckin' awesome. Downloading now from the NMA mirror. Morgan's work on Fallout is just so damn good. I really hate the trend in video game music of unmemorable, vague "epic" orchestral scores that are forgotten mere minutes later. I could listen to stuff like the Fallout or Dune 2/2000 OST...

Man, this is why I love this site. Only on NMA would someone complain about the spelling of "stimpak". Anyway, nice preview. I'm trying to keep my expectations low, but it's hard not to get hyped up over this game. Aside from VATS, I'm liking what I see so far.
