Nice, so glad that Feargus Urquhart and his crew are invovled in this, hopefully we will get a game reminiscent of the old Fallouts. Obsidian done well storywise in past games. Which i couldnt really say for Bethesda in Fallout3, tbh.

Really looking forward to this as I have always adored the Fallout games (except Fallout Tactics) but I am a little disappointed that I never got Fallout 3 to work properly, I completed it but no matter what I did to tweak the game I always had the problem with the game suddenly slowing down to a few fps and the only thing I could do was to quit and continue playing.

The teaser is actually pretty mediocre (lots of resemblance to FO3, actually), but the music toward the end is great. Also, since Obsidian and Oscuro are working on the game, I guess it's gonna be something to definitely check out come this autumn.

Didn't say it was bad, but I've seen it before. I really liked the intro to FO3, but it'd have been nice to see something different, regardless.
Anyway, it's just a teaser, let's not argue over it too much.

Pure speculation, but there are a lot of lights in new vegas, the city seems alive (compared to dc in fo3). That's a good thing i think, rpg's never have enough city live.

It's pretty clear it was intended as a homage of sorts to the original FO3 trailer - which it did pretty nicely. Could they have done something completely original, instead? Sure, and it might've been even better. But this one's pretty damn cool too!

Well apart from timeline issues (if NV is set 200 years after the war like FO3, not even the structures would be intact after that time, let alone lights - doubt they manufacture new bulbs so do they have an infinite supply of spares?), it's feasible that they'd have electricity. If Las Vegas wasn't directly hit in the war, you'd have the infrastructure intact, and the Hoover Dam could supply the electricity.

not really. They claimed they would be releasing something of substance beyond a press release..an almost identical teaser and a press release isn't much of substance.

Well, the trailer delivers subtle hints. The fact of being almost identical teaser means the guy at the end is the player. And accordingly to how the guys is dressed up, seems that we are part of the NCR force. That, by itself, means alot.

Bethesda did allow a bit more choice in F3 than they did in Oblivion or even Morrowind though, I'm sure the citizens of Megaton to use a obvious example didn't always get to feel like they were "saved" from the bomb. 
Obsidian has done pretty well so far, that Aliens RPG looked a bit so-so from the leaked material but it was early content, Kotor 2 had potential but got rushed or perhaps Obsidian got a bit over-ambitious and NWN2 mainly had optimization problems with that engine but they really delievered with the expansion.
(Zehir felt a bit disconnected at times though.)
Will be interesting to see how Alpha Protocol turns out, Sega apparently didn't like the current version much so it got delayed again, looking forward to this as well of course but Winter 2010 would be the earliest we would see a release and probably might be pushed to early 2011 for final polishing and bug testing, depends on how much they've done already though.
(And as it appears to be Bethesdas GameBryo engine modification get it more stable and less crash happy while at it and less multi-core problematic and improve memory efficiency, which might not be that easy, haha bit of a rant, just that Bethesda never was good at post-game support with patches, Obsidian got that pretty well though seeing all that was released for NWN2.)

You've got a pretty generous view of what "substance" means.

It seems that some subscribers have received copies of this month's PC Gamer early, and some of them are now posting details from the 6-page Fallout: New Vegas preview in Bethesda Softworks forum.
Here is a list of things we suppodedly learn from the magazine (keep in mind that the info has not been verified yet):
* 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.
* 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.
* There is a screenshot of a vault suit as well.
* There is an assault rifle looking like the M4, as well as a new big gun with a backpack, held like a minigun.
* There are special moves for melee weapons in VATS - specifically a move for a golf club called "Fore" which seems to be a groin shot.
* The Hoover Dam is in the game and is supplying electricity to the city.
* There is a quest to rescue a ghoul from some super mutants. The ghoul can then become your companion
* The Geckos are back.
* There are both dumb and intelligent super mutants, including the elite Nightkin.
* Some super mutants look similar to the ones in Fallout 3, while others are new. There is e.g. a female super mutant with a 1950s hairstyle who apparently is one of their leaders.
* Screenshots include a guy with a beard and straw hat, a ghoul an NCR Ranger
* The only picture of New Vegas itself is concept art and not a screenshot
* Some location screenshots include a huge model dinosaur advertising a hotel, some satellite dishes, an array of solar panels
* A character generation shot showing a "vigour machine" instead of the skill book
* NCR base is the McCarran Airport, Caesar's Legion is based in the Vegas Strip, while super mutants are based in a place called Black Mountain. There is also a town called Fremont and another called Primm. A topless reuve is mentioned as being in the latter.
* NCR Ranger armor is similar to a brown combat armor with sleeves, there are concept arts of a Ranger
* Skils have a bigger effect on conversation choices. E.g. someone with a high Explosives skill may be able to have a coversation about explosives where appropriate.
* There is a Reputation system in adition to Karma.

^ That was fake.
Thanks lolozaur!
Some extra info:
| Quote: | You're a courier, wounded and left for dead in a shallow grave. A friendly robot, Victor, digs you out, and his doctor owner Mitchell patches you up. You take a "vigour test", which is some sort of electric parlour game. This decides who you are and sets up SPECIAL. You can also take some Rorschach tests, but the mag says this is for fun. The Doc then gives you a Pipboy as he was once a Vault dweller.
"Hoover Dam", and "Helios" (a solar plant, confirmed by the mag to have been built by Poseidon) are fought into and then you can direct the power to wherever you choose. In the case of Helios you can also keep the plant for your self use the energy to call down a powerful laser, or even try to distribute to all equally, however there is a risk of overloading the reactors.
There is a "reputation system", in which all three factions (NCR, Ceasar's Legion and the locals) will either see you as good or bad toward them individually.
There is a screenshot of three Capital Wasteland mutants running toward the player, who is wielding what *looks* to be a heavy incinerator, but has a TV screen and no flamer fuel tanks. He's also wearing NCR combat armour, which is in gold/mustard colours.
There are two separate screens of supermutants that look to be more local, grey skin, and the two are wearing very different clothes. One is Tabitha, who is hearing a blonde wig and love heart glasses. The mag implies she's "not all there".
One that quest, you rescue Raul, a ghoul who Tabitha kept alive to fix her favourite robot. He appears to be a follower, as the mag says you can give him items, and also commands, such as "stay, follow or attack", and also tell him to switch to melee, in which case he'll mutter "sure, I'll put away my rather effective gun, and switch to this piece of um, metal tubing here".
From what I read, the "all dialog" thing seems to imply there will be failures for skill checks as well as speech checks, though, as the mag states, there is no penalty for failing a skill check. In fact, the mag gives an example: A woman who the player tried a Sneak skill attempt on in conversation failed when convincing her an ambush would help the town be rid of a gang of raiders. She simply says ""Good luck with your, uh, ambush" |

Piss off troll. How can anyone like Bethesda's Oblivion with guns? How come you disagree with me? I'm always right and FO3 sucked poor man's dick.

Why do these kind of people even exist in the world. Really what kind of kick do they get out of it ??? Im baffled at how much idiocy is there in the World.
ON TOPIC: I enjoyed FO3 with its variety of DLC and im definately going to enjoy this game. Also like that there is a living breathing city in the midst of chaos although im a bit hesitant also because a intact city with electricity in an all out nuclear war setting? Hmmm makes you think...

I hate, really really hate hate hate to say it.
But after reading those scans I am (kinda) hyped.
If everything they write is true and the game delivers as advertised than New Vegas is gonna be what F3 already should have been.
Fuck, I don't like being hyped makes you more prone to be disappointed.

This is definitetely something to look out for. Obsidian are masters when it comes to creating characters and morally gray stories. Hell, they were even able to make both Star Wars and Forgotten Realms morally ambiguous and that's a feat very hard to acomplish. I hope they make New Vegas as deep and engaging as Mask of the Betrayer was.
Also, follower control interface. Yay! Finally. It's sad Bethesda never came up with such a basic idea that, if done well, can actually make companions 100% more usefull and 100% less irritating.
