Fallout: New Vegas

Re: Fallout: New Vegas

I don't really remember having any issues with Fallout 3 (not the GOTY and without any DLC) on my PS3.

Anyway, looking at the trophies/achievements there is one for beating it in hardcore mode, so that doesn't bode well for being able to move up or down. I'm sure you could have two games going, you just won't be able to depend on autosaves.

Edit: It seems hardcore mode you will be able to move down but not back up to hardcore. It should also be noted that hardcore mode is completely separate from the difficulty.

Fellows one of my Ebay sellers just emailed me and he has this in for all platforms. You can get it overnighted if you want to have it for the weekend. PM me for details. I will be away for about an hour so I will check back

Re: Fallout: New Vegas

Yeah I have the PS3 and Fallout 3 ran really slow at times and froze up on numerous occasions.

I bought a slim ps3 a few months ago so hopefully New Vegas will run better on it.

Fallout 3 didn't have an install, maybe the 5GB mandatory install for New Vegas will help.

The Music of The Mojave Wasteland

When approaching an area in the desert we want to draw the player in. Location Music helps accomplish this. Picture the player walking through the empty desert listening to the wispy incidentals.

As the player starts to see a house on the horizon, the first layer (of three) starts to play. The player hears the tension change. As he nears the house, a second layer comes in, and once he is in the center of town, the whole music track plays.

The same thing happens in reverse as the player leaves the area. This gives a very natural flow to the experience of exploring the wasteland. And to this, we also make sure the music has night and day variations.

Inon was very supportive in providing variations of pieces he created, which we were able to implement very effectively. All of the pieces of location music had a night and day version created for them. They were also all mixed into low, medium and high versions. The system we were creating would use all of these variations to help stretch the music's value across the countless hours of gameplay.

Fallout is a game that allows for its players to choose their own role, and their own morality. Some players play the good guy, and others play the bad guy. We decided that the music system should reflect that.

It quickly became apparent that the musical diversity we were going for was going to require more minutes of music. Thankfully, the Fallout series has a rich history of amazing music. I had been listening to Mark Morgan's soundtracks from the first two Fallout games quite a bit while working on the project and I decided that some of the tracks would fit perfectly into the world of New Vegas. After all, the series shares a lot of factions, characters and themes from the first two games.

I contacted Bethesda and Mark Morgan about including a selection of remastered Fallout 1 and 2 pieces in New Vegas, and all parties were fully on board. I also felt that some of the Fallout 3 tracks should make a return to help forge a synergy between all of the games in the series. It was amazing how well it worked out. The tracks that were chosen fit perfectly together and added the depth and scope that I felt was necessary.

Re: Fallout: New Vegas

Hardcore mode for me.

I think that it will help immerse me more in the world, as I'll actually have to pay attention to the game mechanics, rather than demolishing everything in sight.

In Fallout 3, after I got power armor, I was a walking tank. It wasn't exactly challenging (still awesome, though), so hopefully this will be even better.

Re: Fallout: New Vegas

Looking forward to a new Elder Scrolls more but I'll definitely pick this up eventually, probably after the mod community has enough time to add some cool stuff.

Re: Fallout: New Vegas

I'm picking up a copy after class on Tuesday, since I have nothing else to do the rest of the week I'll be deep into Fallout if it sucks me in like the last one did.
