Some random news. To start, we have this short preview from Destructoid<blockquote>One thing I really like about New Vegas is the subtle aesthetic changes. While Fallout 3 went with a grey/green style, New Vegas is very brown and orange. I know that "brown" games are looked down upon this generation, but it's beautiful in a bleak way with New Vegas, and the orange hues make it look a lot more like the original Fallout games than Fallout 3 did.</blockquote>Following this up is Spotify with free and legal collection of music from Fallout 3: The songs of wasteland: music as heard in Fallout 3

Also, apparently some people got hold of the F:NV deck of cards:

And for dessert: VA demos of Mark Graue, who's providing Supermutant voice for F:NV.
 
I like Graue's voice, but are there going to be other voices for the SM, or just him? Though, it seems he can do some variety to his voice.

I'm really glad that the bleakness of the brownish orange hue makes New Vegas look a lot more like the Old Originals. That's a huge improvement, innit? :roll:

I love how this completely asinine remark of "New Vegas looks/feels/sounds a lot more like Fallout than Fallout 3 did" has been popping up a lot lately. There is the old Morgan music, there are the "improved" supermutants, there's Marcus, there's some Van Buren stuff to make us feel "at home"... It's remarkable. One can not say the developers aren't doing their utmost best to make New Vegas look and feel and sound like the old games. So here's an idea of mine: how about they make it so it plays like Fallout again? How about they make it into an rpg the way I learned to know and love rpg's? How about they give it back it's topdown POV and how about they reinstall turnbased combat instead of making all them kids out there drool their guts out by showing them some simple cosmetics (which don't even look very good because of a completely shitty engine).
I'm serious. How about I make a strip poker game, I give it a bleak brownish orange hue, have some Morgan tracks looping over it and guess what: you don't play for dollars, you play for bottlecaps. That'll make this strippoker game look and feel and sound like Fallout as well, won't it?
They stripped the gameplay mechanics and forced it into a FPS harnass, for crying out loud. No coat of paint and no jingle can restore that damage.

Is this news? I don't "get" it.

It's only 6 songs so it's more of a teaser really.

You just listened to Fallout 3's soundtrack.

EDIT:
alec: Twisting comments on new Fallout games into insults and negativity since 1997.
 
Marc Graue also runs the Marc Graue Voiceover Studios, which is where the Fallout 2 and Fallout: New Vegas voiceovers were recorded.
 
Them using the same recording studio as for Fallout 2 sounds hopeful in terms of voiceover quality. They're definitely better at voice recording than at web design:

Well, we know that Marcus and Tabitha will have unique voices by Michael Dorn and Fred Tatasciore respectively. Maybe some other major SM characters as well.

The studio is not that relevant as is the sound director. Their own studio/director is kind of shitty. I still say they should've gone with Fallout 1/2's VA director and TikiMan. They do some great work.
