it just looks terrible, like watching a bunch of noise. and also if you go outside in megaton and get up high to view the town which I just did last night before activating the bomb and blowing up the town. the lighting/colours situations gets preposterous outside when viewing the entire landscape. and also especially if you don't look at the whole picture but focus in on details. it really looks great in small confined spaces, inside, especially in ones where the lighting/conditions aren't exactly the same throughout. I've been replaying fallout3 last couple of days aswell. pure graphics are not going to drive sales on this one I think. I think New Vegas has potential to be a very, very good game. These guys have been working away for YEARS on just generating content for an RPG which felt was already one of my favorite games of the last 10 years.
I, personally, don't mind that the engine is basically the same (with New Vegas) because this means the team was almost 100% focused on story, content, models and environments. it's incredible it looks as good as it does. The only reason Duke 3d looked as good as it did at the time it was released was because those guys really worked their asses off and made some amazing levels with the limited engine they had to work with.
It effectively uses 'tricks' to make 2d images look like a 3d environment. Duke Nukem 3d is a perfect example of this because the Build engine was essentially a spruced up version of what the Doom engine was. then it will look good despite the aged engine. If the artists work really hard to design nice environments and make things interesting and believable. I think really good design can work around the need for a super high-end graphics engine though.
for the most part it's good enough to get the story across and I still came across parts (even in the 360 version) where I thought it looked pretty nice and impressed me. I just recently finished Fallout 3 and while I'll admit that it's not exactly Crysis-like cutting edge in terms of graphics today. the engine is essentially the same (maybe with a few tweaks here and there). I really don't think this game is going to win people over on graphics.
