As often happens, magazines have hit some subscribers early and some tidbits on Fallout: New Vegas have hit the 'net. There's a lengthy thread at the Bethsoft forums from the PC Gamer cover article but NMA has collected the comments together. A sample:
- There is an optional hardcore mode, the character needs to drink water, ammo has weight, healing isn't instant etc.
- Normal mode is more similar to Fallout 3 gameplay.
- The storyline is focused on the New California Republic vs. Caesar's Legion (slavers from the east) vs. New Vegas residents.
- You are not a vault dweller but are given a Pip-Boy by someone who is one.
