How do you think LV casinos will react to Fallout: NV?

First time out of the vault
I was kind of interested about this, since, obviously, the casinos in Las Vegas are all owned by private companies. It was different in Fallout 3, since the destroyed buildings on display, if I'm not mistaken, all belong in the public domain. I'm just going by car companies attitudes towards titles like Burnout, where they refuse to allow their products to be used, essentially, as crash test vehicles. Wouldn't all of these casinos have a problem with the tattered remains of their properties being used as a virtual playground? How are they going to work this out? After all, you can't have Vegas without the Luxor or the MGM.
 
Actually you can. Remember that all that is actually needed is is the 50's style Buildings. Preferably old and now closed names. Sure Luxor and MGM are important titles in modern Vegas like the current Main Strip but what the game needs is more on asthetic side than exact copy paste.

Ps: If you would spend some time in the other threads such as what we learned from new reno and speculate you might have noticed some wished and debates already done on the issue.
 
Ahhhhh I see. I forgot about the whole 50's style thingamabob. Well, this is certainly going to be interesting. I can't wait to see how it turns out! Also, sorry, I didn't read most of the other threads on this board. I should have done that.
 
I think its quite likely(tm) we will see an alternate Las Vegas with a lot of nods, like Mirage = Illussion or The Venetian = The Neaoplitan etc.
 
If they didn't have a problem with Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and the parody names in that, they're not going to have a problem with New Vegas.

I just hope they think a bit harder and not just go with any references to Nero or Caligula.
 
The setting should pay homage to places like Stardust, The Sands, and The Flamingo and other now destroyed places sans The Flamingo. Were talking about the early days, Bugsy Seagel days. The inclusion of Paris, the Venetian, New York New York, and the Beliggio would be needless but expected pandering to modern Vegas. Fallout was never about the future or the present. It was based on a retro future. It paid homage to the here and now but was never defined by the present. I mean hell "The Great War" was fought over oil when they already could use microfusion cells for cars and presumably for power plants as well. That rather large WTF moment can be semi-explained by the mindset of Fallout. Fallout is about leaders like General Buck Turgenson and other myopic sorts only concerned about maintaining dominance at whatever the cost. Hell all of the first 3 fallout games smack of the eugenics of the late 19th century and pre 1945.

The Fallout series is vintage like a single malt scotch. It is about campy and granted semi logical future power armor, i mean the current dragonskin given to some military units is ceramic composites just like the APA. The universe is built around irrational and shortsided leaders. While I hated the enclave in FO3 I felt them still trying to eradicate mutations to be logical in the series
 
Though I've never played it, I'd say about the same way Vegas reacted to Rainbow Six Vegas, since the name Rainbow Six and Vegas stuck out in my mind at the title of this thread I decided to do a quick Google search, to find the mayor was against the release of the game. Since I haven't played the game(Not a big Tom Clancy fan) I can't be too accurate, but I don't think Rainbow six has the gore and violence that fallout does.

Not that he has anything to say about it. Las Vegas isn't a private property and can be used freely in movies\games. Or at least I think so.

The more negative reaction from Vegas, the better publicity for the game.

No doubt about that, shock Value does a lot for game developers: Mortal Kombat, GTA, Doom, Wolfenstein, etc. All of these games leaned on controversy for sales, the only games that were harmed by this tactic to my knowledge went from Atari 2600 to certain NES games(It's more or less because the games themselves were similar to E.T. for the 2600 in quality), often based off of horror movies.
 
Ehh, Rainbow Six Vegas was forced to rename one of the Casinos in the game because the Casino didn't like that it was taken over by Terrorists.....

However I hardly see how anything like that will happen with Fallout NV, seeing as all the Casinos will be either completely fictional or based on old closed down casinos.
 
It could be bit of second Fallout New Reno. If it's Vegas, there has to be a casinos. And much much more than in Reno :o Anyway, i hate gambling in real life, but can play some in cyber world ... :lol:
 
Please no more New Reno's, one is more than enough for the PA world of Fallout.

Perhaps one or two casino's like the hub, but not more gangster towns.

I agree, new reno was never fallout for me...
 
Being a fan of H2H characters, I was very fond of that little boxing sidequest in New Reno (FO2).

I would love it if they expanded on that and implemented somthing similar set in one of the big Venues like MGM Grand's Arena.
