That means you can spruce up New Vegas to look absolutely stunning. With New Vegas running on the same engine as Fallout 3, it has just as rich a modding community as its predecessor. Now, it's time for the Mojave Wasteland of New Vegas to get the makeover it deserves. To make this journey a bit more fun for you, a couple of weeks ago, I told you how to get the most of Fallout 3 by modding it to look and play a lot like Fallout 4. There are no doubt plenty of people who are preparing for the next apocalypse - or rather the same apocalypse that happens in every Fallout game but told from a different angle - by playing previous games in the series. Fallout 4 is a matter of weeks away, and it's going to turn the world into a barren wasteland as gamers the world over get glued to their rigs for (at least) the next six months. One to watch.Stock up on 100 cans of corned beef, get a crate of rice puddings and start settling into that makeshift nuclear bunker you built in your back garden 'just in case'. The modders hope to release The Frontier this winter, but there's still much work to be done. And while the voice acting and camera work are a little shaky, the weather effects and new gameplay systems look promising. There's a lot going on in the video, below, but it's clear a lot of time and effort has gone into The Frontier mod. Oh, and you take your Courier character from New Vegas and use him in The Frontier. There's even a zero gravity space station section.Įlsewhere, there's voice acting, original music and a new, sizeable quest line in the works. You'll see footprints left in the snow and steam from character breath,Īlso cool is the addition of drivable vehicles, new animals and weapons, and new mechanics such as trapping and hunting.

You need to battle mist, snow and rain - and the weather can change at the drop of a hat.

Each type of weather carries a different effect, and you need to equip the right gear to defend against the cold. What's cool about The Frontier is it's set in a brand new area similar in size to the Mojave, and adds a nuclear winter weather system that affects your character. The Frontier takes place in Portland, Oregon, where the NCR and the Legion are fighting a war. We've seen some pretty cool Fallout: New Vegas mods over the years, but The Frontier may be the most ambitious yet.
