Game News Fallout: New Vegas - By Obsidian, For Bethesda

[raving nincompoop]

You only play FOT in RT mode if you want to. I played FOT entirely in CTB (continuous TB mode) and only switched to RT when the enemy was mostly eliminated. If VATS was like FOT it would be the same.

Oh, you mean that there is the option to _never_ leave VATS, at least not while there is hostile in the certain zone.

But if you still decide, in the middle of combat, to leave VATS and go into RT, how much of an impact do you think that all the traits that have a significance impact on you character in VATS mode, should effect your character in RT mode, in order to maintain a signal coherent combat system (feel free to replace "coherent combat system" with "combat system that doesn't give a player with good twitch skills an advantaged over a player with bad one", think PvP)?

Why isn't Avellone working on this FO3.5? AP can't be it since it's only 6 months from release so most or all of the writing should be done by now.

Avellone wears many hats at Obsidian. He is currently the chief creative officer (or something like that) as well as the project director and lead designer for AP.

To whomever asked up above, Feargus is of course still at Obsidian. He is currently the CEO and project director of an unannounced project that is not FO.

Josh Sawyer is the project director and lead designer of Fallout: New Vegas.

They put Sawyer on FO3.5...Decline.

 

[MetalCraze]

Whatever. Obsidian has no talent, call me when Avellone will release a good game because in the past 10 years he didn't.
I actually even bet that Obsidian's game will be even more boring than original failure. After all they've managed to make NWN1 combat system even worse and that's a huge achievement.

Skyway's material is getting stale.

 

[obediah]

Even more impressively, they fixed NWN1 combat's biggest flaw ( D&Diablo no party control) and still managed to make it worse.

Skyway's material is getting stale.

I agree. It's about time we get some good games for a change.

 

[Kraszu]

I didn't play NWN2, how the combat could be any worse then in NWN?

 

[Shannow]

I didn't play NWN2, how the combat could be any worse then in NWN?

Take NWN1's combat, add BG combat, remove AI, add 3D with a wonky camera, remove isometric POV, add a laggy UI, add hundreds of camera adjustment possibilities that all suck...
It wasn't easy but Obsidian managed just fine.

Skyway's material is getting stale.

I believe it's entirely possible to create Skyway's electronic simulacrum that would randomly generate "itz shit" posts in such a way that none would spot any difference.

It's quite possible it's already the case.

All posts is being a bit crap, only returned 4 pages for input set. Not enough good old skyway negativity in there.

I always wondered why the A film is regarded as subpar to or Now is an action comic movie similar to Batman and the likes but It has suspence It has a nice location It has suspence It has action and a Topic Best Movie Fight Scene I already forgot how awesome the Mortal Combat scenes are Great camera work innovative choreography awesome artstyle great music EPIC Oh and Gladiator had some nice scenes Descent was nice or good shockers nice gore nice claustrophobic feeling nice chicks Martyrs on

I always wonder who does the trailers for Bethesduh Btw nice setting You know even for Fallout it would be interesting to wander in Louisiana swamps Good soundtrack too Too bad it has Bethes Its still retarded What the fuck do you need MB for for Naval Ops Especially when something as horribly compicated as Diablo potentially hundreds of items each with individual randomized stats Topic Best Movie Fight Scene I already forgot how awesome the Mortal Combat scenes are Great camera work innovative choreography awesome artstyle great music EPIC Oh and Gladiator had some

Who here has triedwill try Demons Soul skyway Topic This totally deserves its so awesome the A Want your cock next Driving around in fucking canalsroads fo Power corrupts Savegames have physics gameplay good Topic Lets play Shitout is an action and went rapidly downhill afterwards plummeting into skyway I tried to stay in streetfight skyway It has Bethes Driving around in fucking canalsroads fo Topic Corpse Crew Alpha Version A film is training for Fallout it yay Btw nice Oh

i think Skyway really is just SKYNET trolling around before judgement day.

 

[bat_boro]

Hey, is the new Terminator movie any good, btw?

 

[Sckarecrow92]

The RPGcodex is actually where Skynet gains sentience.

Talk about a bad first impression, though. No wonder it tries to destroy humanity.

 

[WhiskeyWolf]

Take a wild guess.

 

[Hoodoo]

Hey, is the new Terminator movie any good, btw?

lolololoololololololololololololoolooolololol

 

[bat_boro]

Oh, well, I thought that something good might come out of it, since it stars Christian Bale and I just loved his 3.10 to Yuma acting.

What about the new Star Trek?

 

[Xor]

It's terrible if you're a Star Trek fan or mediocre otherwise.

I'm a Star Trek fan (mainly TOS and TNG, but DS9 and VOY have good episodes too), and I liked it.

 

[Ahzaruuk]

So if we have Obsidian guys here allow me to take advantage of you.

1) Will it feature turn-based combat and isometric view.

The most important question of them all. I will never consider NV a Fallout game unless this requirement (or the first part of it, at least) is met.
Optimists can go to hell for all I care.

So let me get this straight...


It could have no sense of continuity of the Fallout setting and have homosexual sparkle-fairies everywhere.

BUT IT HAS TB AND ISO VIEW, SO UT MUST BE FALLOUT/!

Yeah, that P&P emulating shit- pretty stupid. They should've went fps in 1997 instead of making those weird design decisions.

And hey, nice going listening to a tesforums-level moron. Mechanics is one. The world is two. It won't be Fallout without post-apo USA with 50s pop touch and it won't be Fallout without the mechanics we all already discussed to death.
So, go suck on a dick, you fucking piece of shit, who can't even troll right!

Same here.

You'll never get a new fallout game in that case. No developer in their right mind is gonna make a game with mechanics that was used 10 years ago.

Especially not FO's TB combat.

 

[Double Ogre]

FO's combat was mediocre at best, to be fair. Single character TB is never a good idea, and in Fallout's case it was nothing spectacular either. When you get your combat skill to around 120% you just aim for the eyes and that's it. No other tactics required. The combat was well balanced, but still very simplistic.
