Fallout: New Vegas, dev diary 5

Video: This time it's all about Vegas, baby. The latest Fallout: New Vegas trailer takes you on a tour of The Strip.

Would anyone out there kill us if we admitted we have Fallout: New Vegas sitting on our hard drive?

Well, they should take a chill pill - the worse crime is that we still haven't had time to play it! With that fact in mind, you can understand while after watching the latest, and last, New Vegas dev diary that we just want to stop writing this and go home right now and get playing.

This latest diary is all about The Strip - no, not the fine art of rhythmically disrobing in the never-ending search for dollars in the waist-band, but rather the Las Vegas Strip. It's all about how New Vegas' designers have melded the glitz and (questionable) glamour of Vegas into the 50s retro environment of Fallout.

And, in a lot of ways, it was easier than you might think...

Fallout: New Vegas releases in just a few days, on all major platforms.

Aliens: Colonial Marines in depth; Z-77 Motherboard round-up; strategy gaming special; Home Server tutorial. PLUS MUCH MORE - ON SALE NOW!

I don't really know if a highly organised Las Vegas fits in an post apoc world, a world that has always been a desperate one about survival. Sure they had Reno in Fallout 2 but that was more of a seedy Mafia town not a tourist attraction within the game. I know Fallout always had like an old fashioned perception of what the future was like but that was always like side stuff like the car models and the juke boxes etc not entire functioning city's all the towns were dust bowls, the only developed towns were brotherhood, enclave or vault related. I don't know... Fingers crossed they don't balls this up thematically.
