Will Fallout New Vegas be any good?

I do not think it will be bad but it has a lot of hype to live up to after the success of Fallout 3.

Honestly I think Fallout New Vegas will be sort of like COD: World at War; it was a good game but you couldn't help but feel guilty due to the fact that Treyarch just reworked COD 4 which was made by a different company known as Infinity Ward. Anyways Fallout 3 was made by Bethesda while Fallout New Vegas is being developed by Obsidian Entertainment and from what we know the gameplay of New Vegas is just slightly modified the tiniest bit from Fallout 3.

However Obsidian has a good track record as far as video game development goes. Some of their games include KOTOR II and Neverwinter Nights 2 which are both good games. But they are both sequels and they both where a little bit buggy. Overall I think they can make a good Fallout game but I do not think it will get the same positive press as Fallout 3.

Now there is the new features to deal with. If Obsidian can make them work the game will be great. These features include new weapons, a new companion wheel feature, special attacks and a Hardcore Mode which increases difficulty along with the need to drink water in order to survive.

I think there is plenty of opportunity for Obsidian to mess up on the Hardcore Mode but if they can get it right I may have a post titled Fallout New Vegas is The Shit.

Lastly I must comment on the trailer. It looks very similar to Fallout 3's debut trailer and although it looks cool one can not critically take it apart and sum up their thoughts on the game.

Anyways check out the trailer. Will Fallout New Vegas be Good or Bad?
