Fallout: New Vegas - Final Box Art

You think we have a chance with this game? I mean getting a small flavour of the old two....

I'd say yes, as long as your keep your expectations vis-a-vis them reinventing the wheel low. Though I'm surprised at the mountains they seem to be moving in redesigning dialogue and stuff like the supermutants. Anyway, except something close to New Reno, flavour-wise, I guess? Which doesn't make me ecstatic, but happy enough.

It should at least be as buggy as good ol' Fallout 2.

Do we know if Obsidian has scrapped things like:

Explodable nuclear driven cars?
Lab coats that make you better at medical skills?
Handheld nuclear bombs?

All of these were a big WTF for me. I'm sure there were more things that bothered me a lot but these came to mind right now.

Wow. I thought the box was really ugly. Did they try to make the worst combination of armor and weapon possible? I was kinda hoping for a casino hostess box cover :) One of the girls from the Mirage woulda been nice!

I'm with you on this. The box cover is just 'blah' and doesn't seem to convey anything about the game except "welcome to harsh colorless world of armed maniacs wearing masks".

You mean like every other box cover out there?

You'd think they'd figure a more unique look would help sales.

At least the CE is well-designed.

I could see the lab coats as a possibility but I don't see them changing exploding cars. This is still FO3 under the hood, so don't expect miracles. Besides, while I agree it's a silly concept, I actually found it added to the gameplay. Taking out a bunch of enemies with a car was more fun than VATSing everything.

Oh yeah, the one drive-in that had a gang hiding out was great fun. One missile into the middle of that sucker and...KABOOM. Then it was down to finding a bit of their bodies big enough to loot. It's cool to find a little piece of ear and there'll be a pistol, some jet, and a couple clips of ammo hanging from that sucker :D
