Fallout: New Vegas Details Hit The ‘Net
Last week Betheseda released the first teaser trailer for Fallout: New Vegas. Aside from some nice retro big band music, the CGI rendered trailer didn’t let us know anything that we didn’t already assume. Yes the game was going to be set in Sin City; yes the game was still post-apocalyptic.
 
According to some new scans that have made their way on the interenet via The Vault – a Fallout Wiki, we now now know a great deal about what will take place in Fallout: New Vegas. Such as:
 
- There is an optional hardcore mode, the character needs to drink water, ammo has weight, healing isn’t instant etc. Normal mode is more similar to Fallout 3 gameplay.
- Vegas didn’t get many nukes. More intact buildings, as well as desert vegetation. Vegas itself is mostly intact.
- The storyline is focused on the New California Republic vs. Caesar’s Legion vs. New Vegas residents.
- You are not a vault dweller but are given a Pip-Boy by someone who is one. You are a courier, left for dead and saved by a friendly robot.
- There is a screenshot of a vault suit as well.
- There is an assault rifle looking like the M4, as well as a new machine gun that shoots grenades.
- There are special moves for melee weapons in VATS
