What kind of PC rig you need for this to happen? Let me guess. A very expensive one.

JsonHenry6073d ago

I did this stuff (sad it had to be an ini edit, but it was made with the consoles in mind and restricted out the factory because of it) and my PC runs it fine @ 1680*1050 with EVERYTHING maxed out.

My PC would only cost about $500-600 to build now. When I built it I paid about $900 a year and a half ago.

Cernunnos6073d ago

The thing is, you can use this to make it easier on your rig as well. Like in Oblivion, turning everything on max, then using INItune to reduce grass density. Almost no visual difference but a gain of about 10-15 fps.

mabreu6073d ago

Please tell me what kind of specs you have on your computer. I'm currently building one next week.

Shroomy6073d ago

It's a console port, so it doesn't need any real power.

KineticX6073d ago

What I'd recommend building:

C2D E8400 processor (6mb l2 cache, 45nm, 3ghz, 1333mhz fsb)
4gb 800mhz RAM of decent make
9800GTX 512mb

Easily the most cost-efficient system you could build right now. Will smash *any* game out at 1680x1050. I have that spec except with a 8800gt and I can run Crysis on high with 40+ fps and gmaes like Fallout 3 and Farcry 2 are no sweat at all.

ThanatosDMC6073d ago

Those are some nice specs. What do you suggest for a motherboard?

NRG6073d ago

What kind of console rig you need for this to happen? Let me guess. Oh wait, you can't.

Proxy6073d ago

I suggest you find more sources. There are many tech forums where you can get many and varied options, rather than just one persons options.

Personally, I prefer the HD4850 over the 9800GTX. I chose to support the underdog and haven't had many problems after some driver updates.

It's interesting, the 9800GTX dropped in price immediately once the HD4850 hit, good think AMD is preventing NVIDIA from overcharging like they always do.

I can confirm this method is highly effective and MUCH appreciated.

As with Olbivion the textures at distance looked awful, but this really fixes it.

Give us FO3 with all the dlc remastered like ESO. Load times faster, quality of life improvements, gun play improvements

I believe it shouldn't just be graphical they should make improvements where they can to make the game better. A simple face lift isn't what's needed

ZeekQuattro67d ago

Still my favorite one. I remember getting a digital copy of FO3 when I got FO4(XBO). It was nice to finally play a stable version of the game. Then when I got a Series S it was an even better expierence. Quick resume and FPS boost made it feel like a whole new game. Updated gunplay would be very welcome though. One of the few things FO4 did better.

New Vegas and Morrowind should have been first!

Christopher75d ago

Fairly certain we all know that New Vegas isn't getting anything because it's not a Bethesda developed game.

OMGitzThatGuy75d ago

MS owns both devs, if they want it, a 3rd party will make it.

Christopher74d ago

***MS owns both devs, if they want it, a 3rd party will make it. ***

I think the issue is that it's not a Bethesda developed game, not that MS owns both. This is more about Todd.

RaidenBlack74d ago (Edited 74d ago )

Yep ... Todd doesn't like getting bettered within his own IP scope.
I still think of the Elder Scrolls spin-off Obsidian pitched similar to New Vegas, but Todd rejected.

RaidenBlack74d ago (Edited 74d ago )

Replayed NV more than FO3 ... so I appreciate the FO3 remaster more.
For NV, I'd much prefer a sequel or a spinoff from Obsidian.

FTLmaster75d ago

Got a soft spot for Fallout 3, so I'd be down to play this.

-Foxtrot75d ago

It's crazy New Vegas wasn't worked on first to launch alongside Fallout Season 2.

They could have added all the cut content they had planned but didn't have enough development time to add, possibly even expand on it a little more. For example, have the Vegas strip as one big hub over being chopped into smaller sections we have to keep loading into.

neutralgamer199274d ago

Would love a complete remake or sequel with enough resources

Abnor_Mal75d ago

The only Fallout game I’ve played, PS3 had to keep stopping every few minutes to save. Next thing I knew the credits were rolling and I never did any side quest. I never replayed the game because of all the bugs the game had.

Yui_Suzumiya74d ago (Edited 74d ago )

I've played Fallout 3 more than any game. I lost count many years ago of how many times I finished it. It was my first Platinum trophy. But yeah, it was buggy on PS3 at launch before it got properly patched.

anast75d ago

They are only remaking their games that have been streamlined.
