Meh, F3 was pretty weak (as was Skyrim).
If Obsidian was doing this I'd actually be excited as F:NV was the best Bethesda game ever made. As many people here have said they do desperately need to update their engine. For the record Gamebryo is less and engine and more a framework, and Unity 5 is probably not the answer, it has its own serious limitations (especially with lighting and effects).

If you've never modded F3 and F:NV together with this mod
Tale of Two Wastelands
You should probably check that out sometime.
Its pretty awesome.

Interesting. FO3 would be a much better game in New Vegas' version of the engine, I think.
Being able to freely travel between DC and Nevada seems kind of fruity. I guess you could just not use it though, and only leave for NV after finishing Broken Steel.

That was the whole vibe I got from the trailer.....which is disappointing.
Agreed, having Bethesda dictate everything you do sucks.
Pretty much my thoughts exactly.

I thought it was funny when some of the videogame outlets were walking through all the "iconic" settings shown in the trailer. Hah hah - iconic, yeah, maybe if you live in fucking Boston. I wouldn't have recognized any of those places. I'm not a 'murican but the Hoover Dam and Las Vegas sign are pretty much in a different category in terms of recognizability.
Still, day -1 purchase. I love me some Fallout.

What does it matter if someone is positive or negative right now? Until the game is here, it's all speculation. If anything, it's probably better to be come in with low expectations and be pleasantly surprised instead of getting all nerd hyped for it.This fucking thread...

Pretty much this. My extreme enthusiasm for XCom games means that I will probably end up disappointed with XCom 2 unless it's a seminal masterpiece of strategy gaming.

What's to speculate about?
It's Bethesda, a bunch of lazy leeching cunts, still using a decade+ old DX9 engine (LAWL) where the rocks look like plasticine, and the hit-boxes are the size of bee's dicks or houses... take your pick. Too scared, too stingy, and too incompetent to produce anything world class. Hope you like loading screens, clipping, and claymotion faces!! The teaser (roflcakes) trailer looks like shit, and the game is guaranteed to be shit. What a fucking joke.

I do have to admit that the graphics were very disappointing. Hopefully there'll be some ENB magic or something similar available.

The easy answer to that is we got a preview of id Tech 5 (?) with RAGE. It was nothing but long hallways and cramped "outdoor" areas (which were also suspiciously hallway-like). Gamebryo at least allows for truly open, outdoor spaces with no loading outside of fast travels and dungeons.
Beyond that, I'd say it comes down to established tools and ease of development. I think it's a safe assumption that id didn't bother building user-friendly scripting tools alongside their engine (Carmack famously said they're not Epic and have no plans whatsoever to license out their engine to the scale that they would need to hire a customer support team).
