Thanks for this thread. It's good to keep track of what is going on at E3. I tel you what though if I watch anymore confrences full of mostly that motion control crap instead of real games I think my head will explode.
Fallout 4 has me excited as well. You heard about the "realism mode"? In which everything will have weight,m including bottle caps and ammo?
Fallout 4? You mean New Vegas? Or another upcoming Fallout down the line?
Realism mode makes sense. If you had 100,000 bottle caps in a pouch, that pouch would be quite heavy, not to mention really big too! I just hope it's not too limiting, or that the gameplay will be adjusted in consequence. I don't want to have to revisit places 25 times just to get all the loot back home and/or sold.
Hardcore Mode There's a funny argument against Fallout 3 that goes something like this: Once you reach the level cap the game is too easy. Or, as I like to put it, once you have created a badass character he's too much of a badass. Well, for all of you people that were simply too good at Fallout 3, meet Hardcore Mode. This new level of difficulty being added for Fallout: New Vegas is for anybody that loves a challenge. It may as well be called Realism Mode. Everything has weight, even ammunition. You'll have to eat food and drink water regularly to stay alive. Stimpacks won't heal instantly, so you won't be able to spam them in the midst of a fight. And if you break a bone, you'll need a doctor and some bed rest to heal it. Sounds rather punishing to me, but I'm sure there will be some folks out there that will accept the challenge.
