Preview: Fallout: New Vegas

It’s easy to look atFallout: New Vegasand assume that it’s merelyFallout 3in the West instead of Washington, D.C. But whileNew Vegasis the same type of game, and it’s running on the same engine, and you’ll be doing a lot of the same kinds of things you did inFallout 3, making that assumption is not only selling the game short — the assumption doesn’t really hold up at all. At a preview event last month in New York, Jason Bergman — a senior producer working on the game at its publisher, Bethesda Softworks — handed me an Xbox 360 controller and gave me free rein to roam around in a beta version ofNew Vegas....

See The Watchers in Dark Void

So I guess thisDark Voidgame is going to be a pretty big deal. What with themovie tie-inswe can easily conclude that Capcom is looking to make this a major franchise. Maybe it’s because I haven’t had any time with the game yet (unlike Dyson), but I’m just not feeling it that much — and I loveThe Rocketeeror at least the idea of strapping a jet pack onto my back. If you have been following the game then this video is for you, as it shows off The Watchers, who are mysterious indigenous beings from the planetDark Voidtakes place on....

They were just finalizing their plans for King Knight’s campaign, the last of the game’s single-player updates. There was still a lot up in the air for them at that time, but one thing was for sure, they were not going to take a year to release this one....
