MTV Multiplayer on the Vegas of New Vegas

All towns in the north. I never really noticed that before, the south is pretty goofy.

Slowly but surely, we continue to uncover what the press really thought of Fallout 3

Too bad for me that New Reno was my least favorite part of FO2, with SF a close second.

Wow, you liked New Reno less than SF? Interesting.

No kidding. SF felt so empty and unfinished, and had few fun quests unlike NR. NR may not fit into the setting according to many guys here, but screw that, it was one of my favourite parts of FO2 just because of the sheer amount of stuff you could do.

New Vegas is looking to bring some of that dirt back into the picture. "There is a very heavy influence on drugs, and sex, and gambling and the impact that it has on people," Sawyer reveals.

And one of you, said, "oh but who cares what ever happened to New Reno". HA.

Sorry for posting before someone else has a chance to respond but.

You did more in Vault City then anywhere else in the entire game.

I liked New Reno a lot because it reminded me of all those old science fiction stories where an alien world/post-apocalyptic future/space colony wound up as a misinterpreted and often arbitrarily violent and strange approximation of caricatured pop culture because of television/radio/surviving films and books/etc.

If anything I think that New Reno is a lot truer to the retro SF theme allegedly at the heart of fallout than other cities like, say, Klamath or The Den.

That's more pulp sci fi than retro isn't it?

 

[DemonNick]

Retro SF, especially stuff like Fallout, really harkens back to pulp and to B-Movies though. That's why there are giant bugs and Flash Gordon style jumpsuits for Vault Dwellers. Hell, look at the design for the Pulse Pistol or the relationship between fifties pulp comics and the original super mutant designs.

Sure a lot of it, like the building models that look like they're taken from Blade Runner and the Max Max references are from later Science Fiction, but...
