Scrolling all the way back in the RPS archives reveals this absolute scorcher of a Fallout: New Vegas review from Quintin Smith.

That's if you even consider New Vegas a classic, mind. Of course, the folks who are excited for a mod like F4NV are probably the sort of folks who could recite their favourite New Vegas questlines from memory. That's something the trailer is keenly aware of, flaunting a whole lot more exploding heads and first-person blasting than it does any sort of ethical dialogue dilemma. Granted, Fallout 4's technical base has its own share of problems, leading the mod team towards some spine-breaking problems with combining the two games.įallout 4 does undoubtedly have better rootin', tootin' and shootin' than the Fallout 3 era games, mind.

And while it may seem petty, the sheer jank of New Vegas's foundations were a barrier to me getting invested in what I'm told is an extremely good wasteland RPG, actually. I don't know if any of these sorts of remake mods will ever be finished (or evade the wrath of Bethesda's lawyers) but they're working on it and it looks shiny.Sure enough, it does very much look like Fallout: New Vegas rendered in the more up-to-date stylings of Bethesda's Fallout 4. The Fallout 4: New Vegas mod team have been working for several years to recreate the whole game, and after a few months of silence have started showing progress on their Facebook page again. That said, another team are attempting to do that with New Vegas. This is not another like Skyblivion or those other mods remaking old Elder Scrolls games inside newer ones. The mod is even explicitly set after F:NV and during the events of F4. This is very much New Vegas the city, not Fallout: New Vegas the game. Expect the New Vegas strip with playable casino games, about a quarter of the map, a few spots to build your own home, and creatures and weapons and things. You can download the initial "early access" version from Nexus Mods.

Nice casino, shame if I had to murder everyone in here. They say they "aim to faithfully recreate and remake the Mojave Wasteland true to the original and open to the public to play with, explore, mod and build." So when it's done, it could be the foundation for interesting newness. The modders explain that they "intend to open and recreate some of Fallout New Vegas's map as a new explorable location as a addition to Fallout 4", a hub world sandbox sorta thing. But to manage your expectations: it is not an attempt to recreate Obsidian Entertainment's game Fallout: New Vegas inside Fallout 4. A new mod named Project Mojave is attempting to recreate a lot of the post-apocalyptic Sin City and surrounding areas as a Fallout 4 mod, and you can play the first slice now. What happens in New Vegas stays in New Vegas, they say, though New Vegas itself will not stay in Fallout: New Vegas.
