Cowboy identified

[alec]

In good old NMA tradition, here's a bit of likely source material spotted out of the trailer. The cowboy appearing on the robot is Vegas Vic.

Oooh, nice page. Lots of 50s buildings too.

I recall all our identifiers for the Mullins concept art came from a single site too. Wonder if we'll see something similar in later promotional art.

Okay, he's completely identified now: it's Vegas Vic.

This is a 1948 postcard:

Frontpage news like these are one of the best reasons to come to NMA whenever theres a hype going on in the community.

He does look very much like the guy in this picture:

Just random speculation came to mind: The robot is owned by the guy running the casino with this cowboy sign.

Nice find, but already knew about it.

 

[Deadman87]

You gonna get raped.

 

[Tagaziel]

Nice find, but already knew about it.

Why didn't you say so then?

 

[UnidentifiedFlyingTard]

to fuck with our heads.

 

[Starseeker]

Huh, I thought everybody already knew this?

That's why I didn't say anything about it.

It was pretty obvious, since game is set in Las Vegas, and they are using one of the oldest Vegas symbols.

Then again, I've worked there before, so I guess what I thought was common knowledge may not be so common after all.

 

[monsharen]

Do tell us if you find more symbols in there.

So, the Pioneer club/casino then? Dead casino visitors?

 

[Silencer]

Vic? Damn he's lost weight

 

[draeke]

wow, great find, i thought the way that it looked like his eyes bugged out in the trailer it might've been something new. props to alec!

 

[SharkClub]

Anyone mentioned that the Robot's name is "Victor" and he has Vegas Vic on his TV screen?

 

[Brother None]

Heh, Eurogamer Czech used this image.

I still can't believe the lengths some of us will go to find this stuff. Ever impressive.
