Spinoff : Fallout: New Vegas

» Sun Jul 31, 2011 4:44 pm

Is New Vegas kinda like Battlespire or Redguard? A spinoff?

Its a spin off like Fallout: Tactics, but it is still canon.

No its a Main game in the series.

It is actually a spin off, like PoS and Tactics but it is canon unlike some parts in those previous.

No, NV is a true Fallout game. Fallout 3 is more of a spinoff, except it happens to be canon because the people who made it own the franchise now and can do whatever they want.

This. Although, they can rename it to "Fallout The Game That is a Sequel and is Canon" and I'll still consider FO3 a spinoff.

Hey, I'm not complaining. That "spinoff" is probably the reason we are standing here today.

Groan, you can class it as anything you like.... others will.
But given it's story, background, factions and ~~"Dorothy off to OZ"~~ PC forced out exploring a strange hostile world picking up friends, enemies and saving the wasteland gameplay.
I don't believe it to be a spinoff, or if 3 is classed as one than NV must be a spinoff of a spunoff.

I would hope that FO3 is the begining of a new and exciting chapter in FO.
Just like Batttlefront 1 & 2 and KOTOR 1 & 2 & soon the old republic.
God I love batttlefront 2!
"Its Darth Maul!"
"Whats he gonna' do,bleed all over us!"

"Hey its Jango!,Good to see his head is still on!"

Cute, but technically all the Fallout games except Fallout 1 and 2 are spin-offs, since their storylines are only very loosely tied to each other. I don't consider Fallout 2 a spin-off since the protagonist is a direct decendant of Fallout 1's protagonist, while characters in other games rarely share past with characters in previous games (notable mentions go to Tandi, Harold and Marcus).

The only reason I think Tactics isn't considered a full Fallout game is because of its lore conflicts. Had it been more loyal to canon, it would be a Fallout game just like the others.

And FOBOS is so much of a spin-off that it only shares a common title with the others.

Fallout 3: still doing just fine even without the help of all the haters.

If I understand correctly, Fallout 2 had the same thing going on back when it was released. On a much smaller scale of course because of smaller fan base, but it proves that Fallout series just happens to be one of those infamous series' with unpleasable fanbases, such as Command and Conquer.

Welcome to the Dino side, young padawan. :spotted owl:

It's a canon spinoff, pure and simple.

I always figured as Fallout: New Vegas as the actual "Fallout 3", and Fallout: 3 (the one with the goody-two shoe version BoS) as the spin-off.
I've yet to play the originals, so don't hold it against me :shrug:.

I feel the same way... though I have played the originals... After I played fallout 3.

I've played all the FO's ( bar BoS ) in their release order, so far thought none of them as anything other than FO.
Don't realy care if they're spin offs as long as I enjoy them and they at least have the universe in common.
As this is turning into a "which game was best.. FO3 was not it".
FO1 was a classic, I liked 2 best, really liked Tactics, loved playing 3, loving NV.
Found stuff that I loved and stuff I hated in every one of those games, and would recomend all of them to anyone just because they're fantastic.

First, Fallout 3 was the spin off. Second I've been a member of the CNC community since 2001, EA has killed the community by releasing overly [censored] over hyped games. Fallout 3 however was an amazing game, that i still love and in some ways miss even though i prefer New Vegas. Hopefully Fallout 3 will the beginning of some eest coast lore but i want a fallout 4 on the west coast.
