Stuff I Found out at PAX

Post » Sat Sep 04, 2010 12:38 am

Wow there was a lot of people at PAX this time around. But after getting through the many lines, I managed to play New Vegas. Needless to say, it was awesome. Down in the list below is information I was able to pick up. If you want photographic evidence (I took a couple of photos) then you'll have to post a link to a trustworthy photosharing website because I have no way at this time to upload the pics. Enjoy and get ready for more tomorrow.

The 9mm Sub Machine Gun has the appearance of a miniature WWII "Grease Gun".
I found a new drug. Its called Turbo and its effect is +1 Turbo (whatever that means). This is a strange item, as the only effects I noticed was blurred edges of the screen and it wears off after about 10 seconds. I might have to take a second look at it tomorrow.
Another drug. I believe is is brewed using the Survival skill and is called Antivenom. It cures animal poison effects and it certainly worked when I played against a radscopion that stabbed me.
Cram is back
A scoped Varmint Rifle with silencer looks bad***
Mutants have a more greenish hue compared to the FO3 mutants.
Description for Survival skill: The Survival skill increases the Hit Points you receive from food and drink. It also helps you create consumable items at campfires.
In an unrelated note, Duke Nukem Forever was there with a line that stretched all the way to Canada.
You can pick a plant called "White Horse Nettle"
The amount of NCR dollars you have are divided by which bill it is. For example, you can have 8 $25 NCR, 2 $50 NCR, and 1 $100 NCR at the same time.
Face Wraps are in
Enemies can have bullet casings on their dead bodies.
Ferals Ghouls look very similar in appearance to how the looked in FO3.
White Horsenettle (a consumable from the plant above) grants END -1, HP +1(5s), AGL-1. This is very much subject to change as the base survival skill was 19 (which directly affects the stats of food) and I believe that it was in hardcoe mode.

And finally, here is all of the ammo types that the developer gave the player in the demo:
.22LR Round
.22LR. Plinking
.308 Round
.357 Magnum Round
.44 Magnum Round
.45-70 Gov't
.50 MG
10mm Round
12 Gauge Round
25mm Grenade
40mm Grenade
5.56 Round
5mm Round
9mm Round
Alien Power Cell
BBs
Electron Charge Pack
Energy Cell
Flamer Fuel
Microfusion Cell
Missle

Remember that link to a photo upload side and if a Dev posts in the thread then I will cease sponging for information in later demo playing. I just want to share things I learned with other fans that also cant wait for this spectacular game to arrive. :fallout:

We've seen the poker mini-game in some of the gameplay and trailer videos. Look around and you'll see it.

Well its good to affirm that the M3 Grease Gun will be making an appearance in all its glory, I saw that there isn't a .45 ACP up there... Looks like our dreams of a Thompson may be all for naught. (Or hopefully its just chambered in something else, I really don't know what else it would chambered in though. *crosses fingers all the same*) :tops:

Thanks for all the new info amigo, can't wait to see what you'll have for us tomorrow.

So how was the game? :)

As for the Duster, all I got to see was Primm and Goodsprings. So I didn't see a duster, but it might still be in the game. One can hope.

Edit: The game was absolute awesome sauce. It seemed like a more fleshed out FO3 that was also more true to its roots.

I'd appreciate a link if you can find it. All I found was Blackjack, Slots and Roulette. Also, thanks IGG for reply.

I believe Flickr or Photobucket would be good for uploads.

That was Blackjack, not poker. And I dont think any form of poker (Texas Hold'Em or 5 Card draw) will be in the game at all.

I was wondering that myself. I saw a workbench in Goodsprings so I'll try to work some magic next time I play.

You get to play for about 20 minutes or until you die. I normally play on Very Easy so I actually got killed once when I was cornered by a couple of escaped convicts. :facepalm:

About twelve weapons with at least 6 mods for a gun (including duplicates). When I was making my list I was reviewing my photos and the one I took of the weapons in my inventory were too blurry to read. Oopsy daisy.

I wonder is "turbo" is similar to adrenaline in L4D2. Seems like the only thing useful that could last 10 seconds.

You mentioned the mutants you saw had a greener hue, did they look like classic mutants or the Vault 87 variations?

Sorry if this is to much to ask but, did you got to the roller coaster in Primm? Does it work? Can you climb on it? Is there a quest about it? Just wanted to know. :fallout:
