Fallout: New Vegas Golden, Specs Revealed

Those are some pretty low system requirements compared to most other games I have seen...

I cannot wait!

Amazing news and it's great to see that it doesn't require anything insane just to run it. I hope it lives up to it's predecessors.

I'm glad this isn't a sequel...Not to spoil or anything, but the way the first one ended for our hero, I really didn't want to continue playing any of the expansions...donno why I just felt the story was over and so who cares...

Your probs going to be looking at any quad core machine 3gb with a 4850 to be running this on high at high res

From the screenshots I've seen, it doesn't look any prettier than the original Fallout 3. So the specs should be about the same would be my guess. Sounds like maybe all they did was make it multi-core friendly perhaps?

Should still be a fun game to try out. The original was fun for a while.

yES! Love me some Fallout. gimme gimme gimme

Gotta love how they were so faithful to the look and feel of some of the best post-apocalyptic movies. Of course Mad Max and the Road Warrior come to mind. But the film "A Boy and His Dog" was clearly the inspiration for the dog companion in the game.

I'm glad they are making it Windows 7 compatible, but it sounds like Steam needs to be running in the background in order to play.

Are they CRAZY, no one has a PC THAT powerful! I'm tired of these elitist devs screwing over us loyal PC gamers. My 512mb RAM isn't up to the job anymore.

Shot in the head and still not dead?

GO IRISH RUGBY!!!

Don't get too upset with the game developers. With 512MB of RAM, that's barely enough to run vista or W7 well.

I'm going to go out on a limb an hope you are being sarcastic...

Really not to impressed by the specs so far. I'd really like to see some implementation of DX11.
The real value of the latest Bethseda games has been the mod ability of them though. It would just be nice to really test out my 5970.

tbh i dont think devs have it in their best interest to make games that will test the power of a 5970... otherwise we'd have another crysis on our hands meaning mainstream gamers have to wait 3 years to have the hardware to run as it was intended.

To me, those specs say that instead of wasting their time and money primarily on a bleeding-edge visual presentation, the devs actually spent time putting together a full and rich gaming experience. The more studios that take up Crytek's M.O., the less accessible PC games will be to the mainstream.

I find this refreshing and expect yet another top-notch experience that's still pretty to look at.

Although i really like good graphics i totally agree.... that said fallout 3's graphics in the port to the ps3 were horrendous lol

If a game requires too much(crysis) you kids get pissed and if it requires too little you get pissed... You really should spend your time hitting on girls instead.

I am getting sick of console e-peen achievements.

No l33t gamer was ever pissed by high system requirements.

Whatever happened to 1337

what? they aren't using 3-4 types of steam clones as well as steam? That's highly unusual(dow II I'm lookin at you) and refreshing.

I really hope the game has updated graphics. It's okay for them to make games that can be played on 8800 series on up, but anything before that and it's like, come on, how about rewarding those of us that actually have new hardware!

so.. this is not an expansion pack? its a stand alone game?

Hope it doesnt lag too much with a Core 2 Duo E7500

Because that's what I have

I hear ya, and as I said the true value in these games are the mod-ability of them, and I agree with Jazz84. Nothing beats pure solid game play. But a little kick in the graphics department would be a god send, even if they just add DX11 features.
I would like to see another 'crysis' though, I think it adds much needed perspective to the pc world. Its all about the "Look what we can do!" and it challenges PC enthusiasts and hardware manufactures to do the same in regards to pushing the most out of what they have.






Only people who should be getting pissed are the individuals who fail to read the system req, prior to purchasing the game, who have a system not up to specs.
On the subject of hitting on girls, as they are a completely different topic all together I hardly see how such an activity would remedy rage displayed by certain individuals in the gaming/pc enthusiast community.

From reading a lot of these comments, I have to wonder, do a lot of you even want to play a game or do you just want a new benchmarking tool?

I want to be able to play games on my 4870 and still be blown away by the graphics.....basically I want a cake and a fork with a bib.

Then get another 4870 and crossfire. You will be blown away.

I almost was about to put my order in until i read:

I don't care if they use DRM, its the fact the steam sucks. I own the Orange Box and didn't install because you need steam. I am all for logging into say a Bethesda server to authenticate, but to have to use a third party auth. service(Steam) to do so...SUCKS!

Steam sucks?! Steam is the best thing that has happened to computer gaming in these last years...
