Fallout: New Vegas appeals to the Hardcore out there

The latest addition to the award winning Fallout franchise, Fallout: New Vegas, has a little something extra in store for the more dedicated wasteland wanderers amongst you in the form of it’s Hardcore mode.

From the get go on your quest you can opt into the brand new Hardcore mode, allowing them to bypass early tutorials and live a harder wasteland life. Some changes include weighted ammunition, severely limiting the amount of bullets you can carry, stimpacks not healing you instantly and a trip to the doctors required for such things as crippled limbs and more serious injuries.

Some more changes made by Obsidian Entertainment, who have taken over from Bethesda for New Vegas, like a tweaked V.A.T.S mode and a Companion wheel, a method for issuing basic commands to your A.I companions. 

Fallout: new Vegas has a Projected release date of Fall 2010
