Has any one played Fallout 1,Fallout 2, and Fallout Tactics. These are very good RPG games. I still play them on Windows XP and my faster computer. I haven't had any problems playing them.

Are you ready for Fallout 3 coming out this October? I haven't seen Drizzt here lately - he's a huge fan of the Fallout games too.

I been waiting ten years for Fallout 3 to come out!! Since Interplay gave up on it and BethSoft bought it !!!! It's about time!

I know! I really thought it would never see the light of day.

I guess we are the only Fallout fans here!!! If they only tried it they might like it. It's a very well played RPG game ever. It got awards in 1997 and again in 1998. The game lets you be yourself.

Heh, if you only knew. Fallout and Fallout 2 are my favourite RPG's after Planescape: Torment. You could say I'm somewhat... passionate about them

Here's my review of Fallout:

AND... there's a mad Swede by the name of Per Jorner who's even more passionate about Fallout than all of us put together. He took my Fallout 2 guide as a starting point, and documented *everything you can do in Fallout 2*. It's a masterpiece of completeness:

They were good games.

I'll definintely get #3 when it comes out. Although I'm WAY behind in my games playing. I still have an unopened copy of Bioshock on my shelf.

hagatha, hi,

Know what you mean. I'm only 1/2 hour into Bioshock. Just making sure my new PC could play it. Still only 2/3 through Half-Life 2... and just starting The Witcher, which I intend to write a guide for.

So many games, so little time :-\

What is Bioshock all about?? Just give me quick run down. Thanks.

Safecracker, hi,

Bioshock is a first person shooter that takes place in a dystopian underwater city. You need an absolute state-of-the-art graphics card to be able to play it (requires Pixel Shader Model 3 support).

State-of-the-art graphic card. Huh! Do you mean a 128MB video card,256MB or 512MB video card? Will these cards do? I call it a video card you it a graphic card. They both are the same thing.

I have always been insane about the Fallout games. There's no chance whatsoever that Bethesda can hope to match the earlier games...that said, I do have high expectations.

I know what you mean, Drizzt. Sequels can be so disappointing, especially ones that come out years later. They seem to lose some of the qualities that made the originals great -- like story line -- in favour of fancy graphics.

Even so, I'll probably give Fallout 3 a try.

Safecracker, hi,

This is what I mean:

Official Bioshock system requirements

Regards,
MetzO'Magic

You mean Windows XP (with Service Pack 2) or Windows Vista.
Minimum System Requirements:

CPU: Pentium 4 2.4GHz Single Core processor
System RAM: 1GB
Video Card: Direct X 9.0c compliant video card with 128MB RAM (NVIDIA 6600 or better/ATI X1300 or better, excluding ATI X1550).
Sound Card: 100% direct X 9.0c compatible sound card
Hard disc space: 8GB free space. Right!
I have that type of computer. But I haven't got 128MB video card.
Which I'm planning to buy. Thanks.

If you're going to talk about Bioshock, please start a new topic, OK? - with Bioshock being fairly new, and Fallout 3 coming out later this year, this is going to get confusing for people searching for information. Thanks!

But I would be leery of only upgrading enough to make the minimum requirements on a game. So many of them don't play well unless you meet the recommended specs.

Ok,Sorry will do!

Thanks Safecracker!

Here is a great review of Fallout on Gameboomers, if anyone would like to take a peek.

I was wandering what are the Specs and PC Requirements for Fallout 3???

I just remembered. Here's a place to go to get info on Fallout 3.
No Mutants Allowed

That's a great, thanks! As far as requirements go, guess we're going to have to wait a little closer to the release date. They say in that article that they're using the Oblivion engine, but spruced up.

Here's some more info on Fallout 3. Good websites:

Fallout BethSoft

Great, thanks! Sure are a lot of fans watching and waiting.

They already got it out for Playstation 3 for $59.99, why not PC?
If you want to know. Here's the url..

Those are just places you can reserve it by buying it now (pre-purchase, and they send it in September when the game is released).
But I don't know if all the versions will release at the same time, since they're all being done from the ground up, no ports.
