Fallout: New Vegas developers chat livestream event - submit

Post » Wed Sep 01, 2010 8:43 am

This Thursday Oct. 14th at 7pm Eastern/4pm Pacific time, columnist Michael Thomsen will host a livestream event with New Vegas Project Director Josh Sawyer. They'll walk through some of the game and answer questions submitted by gamers.

I'm here to collect said questions.

My name is Jake and I work for Best Buy, who is hosting the event (details - http://www.liveatbestbuy.com/fallout ).

Post your questions in this thread and I'll come back and collect them early afternoon tomorrow to forward to the folks at Bethesda/Obsidian, who are currently preparing for the livestream.

Thanks in advance guys! Looking forward to your questions.

- Jake

on the video I noticed:

.223 pistol in the inventory was named "This Gun"

but under it there was "This machine"?

I wonder what that could be...

Was it the game that was lagging a bit and jumping around at certain points, or just the video?

i think it was just the video since it was jumpy when they were talking.
as far as this gun and this machine, perhaps they were modded weapons and we can name them?

you can watch it again to avoid the "live stream" lag, but I think it was that the entire thing was a Cam.

no the modded weapons simply have a + next to there name

did you see the minigun+ in his inventory

i would say that This Gun is a unique variant

That might have been because they had 1 Xbox connected to multiple TVs not to Mention the video capture card.

No. He said that is was called "That Gun" because the weapon they brought back from Fallout 2 used a different round that is not present in New Vegas. They called it That Gun because veterans when they discover it in the game will say "Ooh, it's That Gun!".

Looks like the helmet and suit are seperate just like regular armor and headgear.

Thankfully that means I can take that awesome helmet and mask and plaster it on some slick combat armor.

The whole Ranger outfit is going to look awesome but I can tell I'm probably going to want to lose the long coat after ten hours or so.

There seemed to be frame-rate issues at the entrance to the vault with all that vegetation.
