That's what they're calling it, apparently.

Here are the confirmed specifics:
-It's using the Gamebryo (FO3) engine
-It's going to be an actionfilled bonanza
-It will have a good number of bugs and glitches
-Elements of the Van Buren team are the ones working on it, under the helpful supervision of Bethesda designer gods
-It's probably nothing more than a cunning strategy to sink a competing RPG developer
-The title is pure shit manifested in words

What do you guys think?

It's like New Reno gone bad - lobotomized Chris Avellone on crack. My expectations are pretty low, considering how well EA Redwood Shores managed to fuck up the whole Godfather II setting. If you can turn a diamond into a steamy pile of turd, there's not much to hope for when it comes to continuing on from FO3, is there?

And also the "Bethesda designer gods" made me spill my hot cup of evening tea. Damn you, St. Toxic!

hence it's a "spin-off"?
I actually liked New Reno - even though it didn't completely fit the canonical Fallout setting.

um...you realize these are the same people with "The Pitt" downloadable content, right? As in "Pittsburgh"?

Did you *really* expect better?

Lets not forget the fucking GEM that was neverwinter nights 2.

Lets do forget that fallout was ever good.

It's like our great and powerful leader is on tv shaking hands with big brother, recanting his position on good video games and slowly settling into his life as a mediocre copy of the rest of the shitpile before a "lone extremist" silences him forever.

I say bring it. The faster everything that was once quality is raped and forgotten the faster we can all just move on.

BTW, New Vegas now has a separate board. I also scrapped The Vault board since it's not been hosted at DAC for the last 2 years anyway.

New Vegas is kind of a dumb and/or generic name, it's obvious at first glance. "Las", or Those, preceeds "Vegas", or Fertile Plains. So, if they wanted to make it work, they should have had another Spanish word.

"Quemadura." Burned.
Los Vegas Quemadura. The burned plains. If the game is heading more towards the southwest, you're gonna run into more spanish-descendant wasters, so it works.

This shit ain't rocket science.
