We're all waiting for more from Game Informer's preview of Fallout: New Vegas, but meanwhile, here's a screenshot they'd tagged along a newsbit weeks ago, only no one noticed.

I still have my doubts. They could add the Fallout 3 ones as well, for more variety between the super mutants.
Still looks pretty much like the Fallout 3 super mutants to me.

It's not impossible, but it seems unlike Bethesda to use placeholders in any official PR. They tend to be more careful than that. It's possible the design's been tweaked but I think they're beyond that stage of the production cycle.
What Lexx said seems more likely.

It's the same basic skeleton, but the skin texture and colour are pretty different.
Arr0nax said:
Yes, but the skin texture has been tweaked to look more like the FO1/2 ones.

Well, I think it's possible that given their tight schedule they saved the "making super mutants look more like in the originals" part for later if they have time, and went with FO3 ones originally, plus a greyish texture for the nightkin. So it wouldn't technically have been a placeholder since that was the current look of super mutants at that time. Still, it's possible that the FO3 ones are in the game too, I guess we'll see. As for giving them more variety, it looks like they're combining various parts of the regular/master/brute mutant armor.
*shrugs* Yes. Better is better. It's still pretty bad, and I am not looking forward to seeing this game in motion, but it's still better.
Well, what do you expect? In it's core, it's still Fallout 3.

Hoarding ammo IS gameplay

And what reason, exactly, do we have to be optimistic? Screen shots and reviews that indicate that the game is pretty much the same with new pretty locations and (oh please) maybe some actualy half decent storytelling? OK so... grounds for very cautious optimism, perhaps. Maybe we'll be lucky; maybe New Vegas will be simply awesome.
But it's still the same unexciting game mechanics, the same brown world...no. No, I'm not optimistic. I never thought I'd be saying this, but I'm just not at all excited by the news of a new Fallout game.
I'm definitely waiting till the old-schoolers *here* post their opinions before dropping one more cent on this now-mediocre franchise.
Why not make your own opinion?tekhedd said:
Anyway, I suppose saturating the texture does make it look better, but it's still not the original super mutant, or west coast super mutant. I don't see why they couldn't put a super mutant more reminiscent of the Master's mutants, but they probably didn't because of development time or those days are just gone.

Because he'd have to buy it? I think he's saying he'll see how the community responds before purchasing it, which is certainly a fair enough attitude to take. I'll probably purchase it outright, but I guess I'll be doing to NMA review? No idea yet.
verevoof said:
Yeah, that was never going to happen.
I think I get people who still don't like how New Vegas will mostly move within the limitations and with the flaws of Fallout 3. It's certainly a weak point, but I kind of accepted that for what it was the moment they announced the title and its likely release date.
Reconite said:
As far as they go, that is.

Still needs more mouth straps and bulldog cheeks, I say.
