Forum:Van Buren 2

Anyone else think this is pretty much going to be Van Buren Redux? Because if you compare the 2, New Vegas is basically Van Buren with a different main storyline (in a game with where most of the main quests don't impact the game any more than the side quests), set 30 years in the future (which doesn't really change anything), a different game engine, and a slightly shifted geographic focus. Plus the 2 games share many of the same developers, who were probably pretty mad about Van Buren's cancellation when so much of it had been completed.

I'm not dissing New Vegas, its not like Van Buren was actually released and this is just a rip off of it or anything, but still, its just something I noticed and I'm curious if anyone else noticed or agrees.LordHumungus 03:05, February 19, 2010 (UTC)

A lot of the stuff in VB was pretty cool. The devs apparently think so as well (great minds think alike). Odds are, the devs are going to look at F3, shit on it, then polish up their new trophy.--Master of cheeZ 00:05, February 20, 2010 (UTC)

It probably wouldn't be named "Van Buren 2" considering there wern't more than one Van Buren Presidents. Maybe it would be called another presidents name.

it pretty much is. Since a lot of people from VB are doing New Vegas. Although the area is slightly different than Van Buren, theres still a large chunk of what is gonna be part of FO:NV that was part of VB. Self absorbed 23:19, February 24, 2010 (UTC)

Why let good ideas stagnate? As they would have if Obsidian didn't use them. Azzaman 03:32, April 6, 2010 (UTC)
