But, given that you’ve no history or personal attachment to your character as you had with Fallout 3 (you’d grown up with him/her!), it all seems a bit early to go on a revenge mission. The story unfolds itself from there as a struggle to find the chequered-suited fop responsible. Where Fallout 3 had you grow from a child before throwing you into the overwhelmingly open world of the wasteland, New Vegas drops you straight in there as a courier whose delivery of a package has gone awry leading to your near-death. How does it manage it? Is it the unmatched freedom of roaming a post-apocalyptic Mojave desert? The rewarding off-story exploration or the epic feeling of the heavy decisions we have to make that alter the course of the game? Yes. The equally welcoming and heartbreaking similarities are enough to make you wonder whether New Vegas would’ve been better suited as a huge DLC and, for the first while, you can’t shake the feeling that it’s just a re-skinned Fallout 3 based in the world of Red Dead Redemption.Īnd then we played it more. It’s all just a yellow version of Fallout 3’s green Pip-Boy. There doesn’t appear to be any sort of graphical improvement whatsoever, the music is the same, the sound effects identical. You see, Fallout: New Vegas looks, sounds and plays exactly like Fallout 3. Our immediate response was a mixture of overwhelming joy and complete disappointment. We’ll admit, this was our most anticipated game of the year! And we weren’t disappointed.
