Fallout: New Vegas looks too much like Fallout 3

In opinion of many gamers Fallout series is one of the best role-playing RPGs ever because it offers completely different experience than other role-playing games. The best thing about Fallout series is that it does not feature standard medieval fantasy storyline; instead, Fallout series takes us to the distant post apocalyptic future in which humankind is fighting for its bare survival. Storyline is new and refreshing and if you are tired from fighting with skeletons, demons and wizards, Fallout is the right thing for you.

As you know, Fallout series started a while ago as isometric RPG. Back in the 90 is that kind of RPGs were hits but nowadays people expect something different. After Bethesda became the developer of the Fallout series it has decided to put some freshness into the series. Fallout series has moved to 3D environment and Fallout 3 was revolutionary game that has given new life to the series. Fallout 3 was loved both by fans and by the critics and now we are looking forward to next game from the Fallout series called Fallout New Vegas. As you already know, developers of the first two games are working with Bethesda on this one, and we are positive that we will see a great game.

One problem remains with Fallout: New Vegas though and that problem is graphics. Maybe it is just me but the graphics looks the same like in Fallout 3. Sure, we have completely new storyline and location but graphics looks like it was copied from Fallout 3 into New Vegas. I understand that the two games are using the same engine, and this is the main reason why are we going to see another Fallout game so soon, but why does the game play looks the same? Everything seems familiar and already seen before with Fallout: New Vegas so it does not look like a new game, it feels more like an expansion pack. I will not call Fallout: New Vegas an official successor of Fallout 3 because it simply does not have enough fresh content and improvements to be called a successor. Fallout: New Vegas will be a great game that will have some improvements but in my opinion, it’s just improved version of Fallout 3, and maybe it should be called Fallout 3: New Vegas. Despite this, we are still looking forward to the new Fallout game with anticipation.
