The Feature Film

Fallout: New Vegas. A familiar voice in the Mojave.

Sixteen years in the Mojave.

Fallout: New Vegas launched in North America on October 19, 2010 for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC. Developed by Obsidian Entertainment and published by Bethesda Softworks, it gave players a wasteland where reputation—and a faction uniform—could change the reception.

The Photo Essay

5 slides from the feature.

The story behind the images.

One familiar voice behind it: Matthew Perry, known as Chandler Bing on Friends, played Benny.

Hardcore mode added another layer: hunger, thirst, sleep needs and ammunition weight. It was a separate option from difficulty.

For the Archive, we’re seeking the original 2010 Collector’s Edition: seven poker chips, a Platinum Chip replica, illustrated cards, the All Roads hardcover graphic novel, making-of DVD and game. Publicity reference shown; not an owned set.
