It's been awfully quiet on the Fallout: New Vegas front for way too long. Last we heard, Obsidian Entertainment's not-a-sequel-to-Fallout 3 was on track for a release this year. If that's still the case, Bethesda will likely want to start up the marketing cycle soonish. How's today sound?
The company's Twitter account says to "keep your eyes peeled for new stuff," while Bethesda community manager Nick Breckon marks today as "a big day" for New Vegas. Yes, this is the obligatory non-news story of the day. Be sure to get your card stamped so you can get a free cookie on your 10th visit!
Ever since the last of the Fallout 3 add-ons hit, I've deeply missed regularly exploring the capital wasteland. My gaming schedule feels ... off. Here's to Fallout: New Vegas hopefully filling that void sooner than later.

"bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

So this is quite welcome news, or, in other words
FUCKIN' A!!!!!!
Also, yes to Fallout: New Vegas. Can't wait to get some details.
I'll believe it when I see it. Which, apparently, will be today! Glorious news!
GB: During a recent interview, you stated that you, personally, were "all done" with Alpha Protocol. When did you actually switch gears to Fallout: New Vegas, and how difficult of a transition was it to go from modern espionage to the post-nuclear wasteland?
Chris: Like almost all the designers, I've moved off Alpha Protocol. Switching gears from Unreal to the GECK has been painless. All the previous experience with Fallout back at Black Isle studios also made the transition easy as well - we got right back in the saddle, and off we go.
The Chris there is Chris Avellone...which makes my heart leap for joy that he will be somewhat involved in Fallout again.
Also, confirmation that they're using GECK, so at least we know it'll be FPS like Fallout 3....
Either way, AWESOME.

If not, I'll probably pick this up new.
Fallout 1 was still the best.
They say it's not a sequel and I don't know why they are worried about being a sequel or not ... just surpass Fallout 3 and we'll all be happy ... it's not really that much to ask is it??
NWN2 wasn't all that great either. And it was buggy as hell and it ran badly.
I want more Fallout but I'm not encouraged just by hearing the name Obsidian.
On the whole, I like Obsidian! Yay!
Anyway, I want more Fallout, so come on with New Vegas, hoping it'll be as good as Fallout 3 at least.
