Bethesda unveils Fallout: New Vegas, details coming soon

Bethesda has announced a brand new Fallout game during a press event in London today. The game has been named Fallout: New Vegas, and is planned for release in 2010 for the Xbox 360, PC and PlayStation 3.

Unfortunately, Bethesda’s Pete Hines was reluctant to divulge much of any details on the project, other than the fact it’s in the works.

However, we do know that the game is being developed by Obsidian, the team behind the class RPG Neverwinter Knights 2, and that it’ll use the same engine as Fallout 3.

More details are expected soon.

Stay tuned.

    Maybe I'll actually buy this game if Besthesda isn't such a POS about exclusive content.

    More like the same engine for Oblivion I wanna new Elder Scrolls. But I think this could be like the shivering isles I don't understand why they wouldn't

    I just hope the PS3 version is better this time around. The frame rate in Fallout 3 was horibble. This should not happend in this day and age!!! Once again the 360 got the great version which pisses me off.

    What about a new Oblivion?

    Bigger

    Better Graphics

    More weapons

    Bring some dragons

    You can Pick animal to help you, like: dog (bite and bark), hawk ( see the enemies from far and pick objects that you can't reach) and so on.

    And of course, use the Cry Engine 3.

     

    That's all.

    You guys, Bethesda already said they're working on TES V, I'm guessing this is a branch working on a separate game.

    Fallout 3 is a good game I just hope this one doesn't release with as many bugs as I have found in 3.

    Awesome news!
    Hopefully it'll have the same DLC on each console, but no doubt Microsoft will buy some exclusive content.

    Yeah, where the heck is Elder scrolls 5?

    I love Fallout 3 on my PS3, but it really chaps my pants that I have to buy the PC version or the Xbawks version to get extra stuff or to even finish side quests after beating it.

    if we don't get the add on content for fallout3 count me out for 4

    Pass...expansions were crap, and I dont have faith in Obsidian.  F3 was great though.

    There's just too much damage done to the PS3 version for fans to even consider purchasing the next one. If you do, then you're a fool because this very article states that nothing will be changed(technically) over the last one. Not to mention adding insult to injury by not providing DLC to sony platform owners. If you buy the next fallout game, I hope it bricks your PS3 because you should be wiser by now.

    great news for people that liked fallout3, and done from Obsidian team :P i loved neverwinter nights

    • 9:43pm BST - April 20th, 2009

    great, another spinoff and not an actual sequel of the real fallout games

  31. Boxman | boxman96

    • 9:56pm BST - April 20th, 2009

    Im willing to buy it on 2 conditons:

    1. The game isnt released as a buggy piece of **** like Fallout 3 was, and still is. The bugs are really, really annoying (But I still love the game).

    2. Bethesda/Obsidian aren't ******bags about exclusive DLC like they were with Fallout 3. There should be multiplat DLC for multiplat games. I can't stress this enough because I hate it when game developers are pricks just because they get offered a million dollars. I BET that they would make 2x as more money as they would if the DLC was on PS3 too.

    im probaly not going to get this one despitw the fact that this is going to be a spectacular game. It is because bethsheda has silghted us time and time again and i shall not support shysters

    • 12:36am BST - April 21st, 2009

    Neverwinter Nights, not Neverwinter Knights---& NWN 2 was crap

    Obsidian is a mediocre dev at best, why couldn't they get someone like Bioware?

    Bethesda...PLEASE, would you REALLY PLEASE release the expansion packs on the PS3 version of Fallout 3 before you guys release the next Fallout game....

    Won't purchase it unless they give PS3 owners at least 2 Down Loadable contents.  Loved Oblivion and Fallout3 but as a consumer they let me down.  They didn't consider my feelings and I wasn't aware of their lack of appreciation of the Fallout 3 PS3 owners.  I can not and will not buy this without them assisting PS3 owners on the current products they sold us.  They gave very little PS3 content to PS3 owners and more than double to XPoop360.

    That's awsome! I'm glad to see Bethesda still workin on Fallout, I really loved it. I kinda want them to do something with The Elder Scrolls after this one, or possibly work on another. Either way, keep on truckin guys!
