Fallout: New Vegas would have been a better game if it was PC-only, according to the game’s lead world builder. Lead World Builder Scott Everts says that the restrictions of the game engine brought about by the game’s console release forced his team to strip away a lot of their initial ideas.



Some of that content still made its way into the game, but Everts says “we could have gone further with that. We had to simplify, so we had less stuff that would bog down the game engine,” and seems to blame some of the game’s performance issues on its console development: “We would have had fewer performance issues. We did break it up a bit, but from my point of view it was a performance-related game and we had to fix things.”
