Really? I havn't noticed that. They're running the same engine arn't they? Certainly shouldn't look worse. Got any links/pics or anything?

That's saying something! I highly doubt it's gonna take a step backwards but if the graphics don't take a step forwards, then we'll be stuck with 2006 graphics.

And I think this is why the Graphics in vegas took a hit and are not as sharp and lower res textures. Go look at pics it's not impressive looking at all.

Then buy the PC version, and wait a few days or weeks for a texture mod to come out to improve it. If you're buying the console version, you're doing it wrong. :)

I don't really mind graphics on these sort of games anyway; it's the content that counts.

In comparison Fallout 3 had (without DLC)

-163 marked locations
-~20 side quests
-~35 free quests

And new Vegas has


-well over 200 marked locations
~70 full fledged sidequests
~90 free quests

The above info provided by "cerberuspledge" Thanks Brother...

NICE. All of those quests will be good too, and not written by 12 year olds with pin up posters in their bedrooms.

To be honest, I find that Fallout 1 and 2 did a much better job at conveying the game world to the player with 2D sprites. It left much more to the imagination.

Do people even care about how much fun a game is anymore? New Vegas is going to be bigger, have new features, and it's going to be more fun than Fallout 3.

Do the people that call the game an expanation even bother to research? This game is going to be even more massive than Fallout 3 and the only reason why people are brushing it off as a rip off is because the developers didn't spend an extra 2 years improving the visuals on the game's engine.

Exactly. I wish more developers focused on adding new features or improving the gameplay instead of worrying about how the game looks.

Yeah obviously, I thought FO3 was fun but as with Oblivion, the crappy animations and faces really broke the immersion. And the first pic does not look as good as FO3, jesus it looks like a bargain budget bin game!

I don't mind if it looks the same, I just want it to run better on consoles (mainly the PS3, since that had tons of problems that were never addressed)

The graphics weren't the problem with Fallout 3, the aiming was, and it has been fixed.

Looks the same to me. Fallout 3 wasn't the most graphical game to begin with. It was nice visually, which is all I needed. Graphics don't need to be spectacular to enjoy the game. I care more about how it plays, sounds and the story that drives the game forward. If the game isn't interesting, no one is going to play it whether the graphics are incredible or not. Look at Myst. lol!! Beautiful to look at, boring to play.

I don't think that anybody here played Fallout 3 for its graphics. And besides, it still looks better than Dragon Age.

Thats just one bad pic, it might be stating the obvious, but FO3 looks pretty good overall due to its art design. Hopefully the engine has matured since, it was an absolute mess for Oblivion.

Meh. I know it'll be better than Fallout 3 and that's all I care about. Besides it's running on the same engine, so I expect it to look about the same as before. . . if not better than Fallout 3.

Must be the console version, I think the PC version will look better.

Here are screenshots I took from my Fallout 3 gameplay.

How the heck is it fitting on a xbox360 disc? They prob cut down resolutions and textures and compressed heaps to make it fit - shame if they did it to ps3 too to keep them equal. I bet the animations still look awful.

Of the things you listed, resolution, animations and textures, none need a Blu-ray disc, or anywhere near a twenty-th of a bluray disc. So much fail in this post, it makes me cry :(

Yes. The gameplay is the more important one there and that's the one they expanded on. Another thing do graphics have to be better for otto to be an expansion does it? The graphics aren't horrible, especiallyfor a huge game.

bummer if true but tbo idc, i'm going to roam the wasteland and have a blast exploring and goofing around in another huge game.

fallout 3 was a bit clunky and slow paced but i still loved it.

i can see the point of people that don't like it though, it's not exactly an instant gratification type of game for the hair trigger types out there.

What do you expect when they have to adhere to consoles too?
