'It’s just that this is absolutely not the classic that Fallout 1 and 2 unquestionably were, and it’s also not the bold, bright reinvention that Fallout 3 was.
Scrolling all the way back in the RPS archives reveals this absolute scorcher of a Fallout: New Vegas review from Quintin Smith. That's if you even consider New Vegas a classic, mind. Of course, the folks who are excited for a mod like F4NV are probably the sort of folks who could recite their favourite New Vegas questlines from memory. That's something the trailer is keenly aware of, flaunting a whole lot more exploding heads and first-person blasting than it does any sort of ethical dialogue dilemma. Granted, Fallout 4's technical base has its own share of problems, leading the mod team towards some spine-breaking problems with combining the two games.įallout 4 does undoubtedly have better rootin', tootin' and shootin' than the Fallout 3 era games, mind. And while it may seem petty, the sheer jank of New Vegas's foundations were a barrier to me getting invested in what I'm told is an extremely good wasteland RPG, actually. Sure enough, it does very much look like Fallout: New Vegas rendered in the more up-to-date stylings of Bethesda's Fallout 4.
