Fallout New Vegas: Teaser Video

By Roy | Published: February 4, 2010

Today Bethesda released a teaser trailer for Fallout: New Vegas. Sadly very little information on the game is revealed, but this is probably just the beginning of Bethesda’s marketing campaign which will last until the game’s release which has been confirmed for this Fall.

The trailer opens with some unknown variety of robot sifting through sand and garbage on the outskirts of New Vegas while Sinatra’s Blue Moon plays. As the camera pans back we see what appears to be a member of the NCR (New California Republic) gazing on. He states (in Ron Perlman’s voice) “War, War never changes” — a classic quote from the series.

The only other information we have to go on beside the teaser trailer is this summary from Bethesda’s main site:

Experience all the sights and sounds of fabulous New Vegas, brought to you by Vault-Tec, America’s First Choice in Post Nuclear Simulation. Explore the treacherous wastes of the Great Southwest from the safety and comfort of your very own vault: Meet new people, confront terrifying creatures, and arm yourself with the latest high-tech weaponry as you make a name for yourself on a thrilling new journey across the Mojave wasteland. A word of warning, however – while Vault-Tec engineers have prepared for every contingency,* in Vegas, fortunes can change in an instant. Enjoy your stay.

* Should not be construed as a legally-binding claim.

This blurb, like the trailer, sheds little light on the game’s story or mechanics. The part that mentions “simulation” worries me a bit but I will wait until all the facts are in before I start throwing punches.

Both Official Xbox Magazine and Playstation 3 Magazine will have articles concerning Fallout: New Vegas released February 11th. The articles are said to include screens and information presumably more concrete than the above trailer. I will certainly be picking up a copy of that and possibly uploading some scans unless I find some first.

EDIT: Both magazines are released exclusively in the UK. Bummer. Any English fans wanna provide me some screens?

Special thanks to The Vault and their excellent community of fans which really helped me collect the information for this post amidst a sea of blocked websites at work. I think this is going to be an exciting Fall indeed.
