wow, that was a crappy article. left everything out but the "totally awesome" stuff: weapons
oh well, the preview video made me feel a lot better. too bad we didn't get to see that much of interest there either, but so far I'm really liking how things look. I think this might be a pretty big change from FO3 after all. the gaming world seems a lot more vibrant and alive. this might sound like a bad thing for a PA game, but I still feel the PA atmosphere is there.
some details I liked:
- there seems to be more variety in weapons and they seem more interesting than the generically named models in FO3.
- the way they're handling casinos shows that they've really thought about consequences in the game. hopefully this also applies elsewhere, where it may actually matter more.
- being able to sneak in weapons into the casinos. again, hopefully this means we'll get more of these fun little things elsewhere.
- companions actually seem worthwhile and fun.
- walking/running animations are A LOT better. and if my eyes didn't just play tricks on me, I think I saw a soldier running diagonally!
- IRON SIGHTS!
things I didn't like:
- AI seems as stupid as ever. enemy tactics seem to only consist of running towards you out in the open, guns blazing.
- downtown Vegas looked pretty damn dead. I didn't expect, nor did I want it to be crowded, but I sorta thought it would be more lively. granted, this video was during the night so there might be more activity during the day. remains to be seen.
oh, and "Josh Sawyer from Bethesda". lol.
