Heading Back Down The Strip!
While Fallout 4 managed to make one hell of a splash and served as the perfect reintroduction to our favourite post-apocalyptic wasteland, there’s just something about Fallout: New Vegas that keeps players coming back again and again.
Obsidian Entertainment not only managed to maintain the building blocks left behind from the monster hit that was Fallout 3Â but also put their own spin on the world. The result turned out to be a hell of a lot of bullets, a whole collection of crazy factions as well as the option to kill everyone’s favourite walking target Benny, who for some reason sounded awfully similar to Chandler from Friends…
While Fallout 4 is unsurprisingly superior from a technical standpoint, New Vegas holds a special place in fans’ hearts. Given how its unlikely we’ll see a remastered version anytime soon, it shouldn’t be too much of a shock to learn that the modding community have decided to take things into their own hands.
According to an article on Polygon –
Modders behind an ambitious project to bring 2010’s Fallout: New Vegas into the Creation Engine of Fallout 4 have released a tantalizing video showing the beginning of that game.
The mod is called Fallout 4 New Vegas and it’s by Team F4NV, which announced their project back in August. The goal is not only to update Fallout: New Vegas, beloved by many fans as the best in the series, but also to expand and refine its gameplay. Take a gander at that perk system, for example, as the Courier strolls into Goodsprings and levels up.
Some old mainstays, such as the reputation/faction system that Obsidian reintroduced for New Vegas (and hasn’t been in either of the Bethesda Game Studios’ Fallouts) can be seen as well.
The mod has no launch date or timeframe yet; understandable, as huge projects staffed by fans working in their spare time can go on for years.
