In the opening cinematic, The Narrator (Ron Perlman) tells you about the area you'll be playing in. More people were alive and the future looked brighter. The towns you could visit were bigger, the people were less dirty and I didn't meet a single mutant in the two towns I visited.
One thing I noticed, while I was playing the game, was that everything looked more hopeful. The PC version looks smoother and more polished than the Xbox version but, then again, that's true for most games. There have been a few style tweaks here and there and that is most noticeable on the wardrobe and overall style of the characters that you'll meet in the game world. Fallout: New Vegas runs on the same Gamebryo graphics engine as Oblivion and Fallout 3 did and doesn't look all that different from the previous games. And that may be the reason why so many gaming magazines and sites, including us at Hooked Gamers, chose it as game of the year in 2008. During GamesCom in Cologne, Germany we got some well appreciated hands-on time with the new game and I must say that it looks stunning.įallout 3 looked, sounded, felt and played perfectly. Black Isle were gods among men during the days of Baldur's Gate and Planescape: Torment and were actually the ones to spawn the Fallout series with Fallout and Fallout 2. Obsidian Entertainment, who employ many former Black Isle Studio's employees, are currently working on the newest game in the series: Fallout: New Vegas. The game was received amazingly well and sold 610.000 copies in the first month. Fallout 3 saw the series evolve from the top-down RPG genre, which was the dominant genre at the time of the previous games, to a first person shooter, the reigning champion of today. There's not a gamer in the world who will deny having heard of Fallout 3 and probably very few that will not have known of the previous two before it. The Fallout series has achieved a well deserved status of fame.
