GameSpot has the first of a series of New Vegas dev diaries, a 2.5 minute segment in which developers (Feargus Urquhart, John Gonzalez, Chris Avellone, J.E. Sawyer, Larry Liberty) talk about Fallout: New Vegas' story, including the choice of setting, themes, narrative structure and player freedom.

It has some gameplay footage, including showing a huge computer when talking about Mr House.
 
Is that a... Wattz Laser Rifle at 30 seconds in??? And the Plasma Pistol looks good, along with improved reloading and pistol-running animations. :mrgreen:
 
So it's "I'm looking for a man in a checkered coat" vs. "I'm looking for my dad, a middle aged guy"

EDIT: Also, it looks hella better than F3

It is more specific, I mean how many folks are gonna have checkered coats out in the wastes?

For a very short period, yes. Also it is "I'm looking for a man in a checkered coat" BECAUSE HE SHOT ME IN THE FACE, not because he wants to spread goodwill and harmony across the wasteland.
 
Damn, that plasma pistol is weak.

Also, if Mister House is a computer, i am done. Done with everything Fallout after Tactics, forever.
 
I swear, if Mr.House turns out to be a computer... MFALSKFMLASKFGNMODUANGKDLALSDKMLASDIGNDL;AMFN GDJAHOISRELSKAMDFUOIFGASKMDISOUAKLSMFIEOQASLFKNIEA!

One must remember, if House is based on Hughes. He will probably just communicate through the computer rather than expose himself to someone fresh out of the wastes.

You have a point, and in fact, I very much doubt that Obsidian would repeat the Fallout 3/Tactics twist. But damn, if they do..... IF THEY DO!!!

Not sure how I feel about the checkered suit line, though it is at least more believable than the middle-aged guy line (a checkered suit is a pretty damn rare piece of clothing in the wasteland).

Pretty much. The "he is a computer!!" bit was weak in Fallout 3, I can't see them recycling it for New Vegas.

It helps to further emphasize his elusive status that you can't easily get a face-to-face meeting.
 
I also really like the fact that there is the destroyed remains of the rest of Vegas outside of the strip. Interesting in that it makes it so the strip is the salvation to those living in the ruined slums outside the walls. Fiddler's Green sorta thing.
 
NMA Player: [Speech] Your New Vegas is way too well-kept and pristine for a post-apocalyptic Fallout game.

Mr House: OH GOD NO *explodes*.

Dosen't his card in the CE cards show him as a middle aged man with a awesome moustache?

It does. Of course, that could just be a face on the computer like Victor has.


Sawyer gloated about listening to the community once. I wonder if he actually did it. If he did, we don't have to worry. Everybody has made it clear that they don't want House as a computer :D


EDIT: That video started with a Norton commercial. The commercial basically said "Hey, our product sucks so here's David Hasselhoff. Give us your money."
