Fallout: New Vegas to Offer Hundreds of Hours

Posted on 23. Feb, 2010 by Freak_c in Games, News

So Fallout 3: New Vegas is suppose to give a few more hundred hours of exploring. Pete Hines of Bethesda Softworks. Speaking with USA Today, explains that the game’s world is so massive that it will take you hundreds of hours to explore every nook and cranny.

The game will take place at the Las Vegas Strip and surrounding areas in 2280. It is some 200 years after a nuclear holocaust during a war between the U.S. and China. Part of the game’s mystery is figuring out who you are playing. The main character starts the game shot, and left in a shallow grave in the desert and striped of a box he/she was carrying. A trusty robot comes to your aid and takes you to Doc Mitchell, who helps heal you. Throughout the game you’ll unlock the secrets of your character and who was in the box you were carrying at the beginning.

“Unlike the previous Fallouts, where you start in a vault and you are a vault dweller, this one starts with a curveball,” explains Pete Hines.

This chapter in the series offers a brand new story with a brand new look to the game. Las Vegas is not desolate, Hines explains, in fact, it’s thriving. “There are casinos, and you can go down onto the Strip. It will have a very different feel from that standpoint,” he says.
