Continuing our extensive post-show coverage of this year's E3, we've got some Fallout: New Vegas love for you, with a short hands-on that revealed much of what is going to set this game apart from Fallout 3, which should excite fans of both the last game, and the games prior to that.

We also have a video interview coming where we get even more information, but in the meantime, our hands-on preview will give you plenty to digest in the wait to October when the game is finally unleashed and we can all get our "what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas" on.

Sounds good and nice writeup. I would agree that a weather system would be nice.

I wouldn't worry about the weather system to much as someone will just make a weather system mod like in FO3. Hopefully this one isn't covered in bugs and glitches :\

Loved Fallout 3. More of the same? No complaints here.

That said, I've still got the Fallout 3 DLCs to play, so I won't be rushing to buy this at release, I can wait for the Steam sale! :)

Interesting but I can't see this being anymore than an expansion for FO3. Using the same engine and only designing new areas is a bit cheap for a full game.

Loved the first one, I think I've said it before but the more I see of this the less interested I get

HurricaneJim: It's an entirely new story with a new character and has multiple endings - we're also told you'll be able to get as much play-time out of it as you might have had with Fallout 3 - it's definitely not an expansion, and is very much a stand-alone product. Also features people who worked on Fallout 1 and 2 in the dev/creative team

I really enjoyed fallout 3 when it came it even though i was a die hard fallout 2 person. But, after recently reinstalling the game i find myself hating it more and more. The s***** animations and faces are the biggest parts.

They really should have used a new engine for this.

alreayd pre-ordered on steam for $50, slowly playing through fallout 3 plus the dlc,

big fallout 1 and 2 fan, and i was heavily disapointed in fallout 3 as a continuation in the series for many reasons.

as a standalone game though i find it enjoyable enough, i just pretend it doesnt have the fallout name.

yeah for $50 USD it doesn't seem that expensive for a stand-alone 30+hour game

Only if they made this one twice as big say two of the original map size with co-op and a little red dead multiplayer functionality thrown in for good measure. Fallout is an awsome game cant wait to dust up my pimp hand in Vegas.
