There are some new names, slight tweaks to the abilities and new models but ultimately they all work and feel much as they did two years ago. Weapons, too, are largely similar although there are a lot more of them. There is certainly more use of colour and the overall greyness of DC is replaced with the amber hues of the Mojave but squint a little bit and you won’t know the difference. The buildings, characters and textures are all verging on identical to the ones we saw in 2008’s trip to Washington DC. The gambling town has been taken over by a mysterious figure and a group of factions, all intent on gaining more control and moulding their emerging world into their own model of perfection. This time we leave the wasteland around Washington DC for the Mojave Desert and the bright lights of a re-modelled Las Vegas Strip. It was a high water mark in the action RPG genre which managed to engage an audience like nothing before it.įallout: New Vegas looks to build on that universe, using similar characters and – at least for fans of the previous instalment – familiar narratives. In 2008 Fallout 3 took the systems and mechanics that Bethesda had created for their earlier, more fantastical, Elder Scrolls game and threw them into Black Isle Studios’ (members of which departed to form Obsidian Entertainment in 2003) created world of a dystopian, post nuclear future.įallout 3 brought a world of desolate, ravaged wasteland and claustrophobic, vault-dwelling communities to a new generation of gamers.
It seems that recent years have seen the post apocalyptic setting used more and more in video games.
