We've dug up a batch of Fallout: New Vegas screens, direct from Obsidian who are working on the highly anticipated sequel to 2008's Fallout 3.

Overall things are definitely looking very familiar in the tech department, with a lot of the same visual assets clearly being carried across from Bethesda's effort, along with other elements such as the same Pip-Boy HUD and conversation options. But we can gleam a few new tidbits from these which include new mutated enemies, a new companion command wheel and cross-dressing super mutants.

Either way, it's looking good, though we'd really like to see some proper first-person screens and more varied landscapes (different weather perhaps?). Click here for even more.

still annoyed there's character importing

I'm annoyed at the landscape. f*** why not just give us another DLC?
looks exactly the same, So not excited for this game now.

looks to much like FO3 for my liking, not that i didnt love FO3 just would like something a bit different

nothing will destroy my optimism for this game. stop being downers!

lets hope the PC version doesn't crash as much as FO3

does character importing means a chance to increase to the level cap? won't they have massive issues trying to re-balance the way leveling works?

Fallout 2 looked almost exactly like Fallout 1 and it was still pretty awesome.

oops, didn't even see what I'd posted - sorry konstie, I meant I'm annoyed there's NO character importing - it's all start from scratch

Not shaw witch port i should get this for. Ran fine on my pc till thay updated it and downloaded dlc and then heaps of crashing issues. or go for the xbox 360 version????

i would argue go for PC version for the ability to use console / mods etc. but that's my opinion.

I wouldn't disagree konstie, but the ability to use console/mods isn't compelling if the game keeps crashing though.

If the crashing can't be resolved then I'd be inclined to call it refund time. One thing to keep in mind when going down the Xbox 360 path is that the platform is generally behind the curve and usually more expensive when it comes to DLC. Does the 360 have the original game + all six or whatever DLC packs in one box yet?

You make a point! I would like to keep true to the P.C! only got xbox for the force unleashed

Thay just need to bring a new patch out NOW! i heard that thay have finished with fallout 3 now so no deal!

yeah Dazhel theres a GOTY edition out with all the dlc.

Eh, I got bored of FO3. It was just so eh. Too much hype.

Same I replayed Fallout 1 & 2 SOOOOOO many times. So many options, in Fallout 1 you can finish the game by killing 1 person only. You can play the game and have very interesting effects with an INT of 1 and so on.

Fallout 3... it was OK, I didn't find it as enjoyable at all. Also the walking animation SUCKS, you skate ffs.
