Fallout 3 gets final release date; new screenshots get bloody

Games Convention is underway in Germany and the folks at Bethesda Softworks are there letting the European press get their hands on a build of their long awaited RPG Fallout 3. They also just sent over three new screenshots from the game for and let us know that the final release date for the title has been settled. Fallout 3 is due for release on October 28 in the US and on October 31 in Europe

As you can see from the above new screenshot, Fallout 3 takes place in a very dangerous post-apocalyptic setting where danger lurks at every turn. You need weapons to explore the blasted landscape so that you can deal with the many, many mutated threats in the ruins of Washington DC. Fallout 3 is still scheduled for release this fall for the PC and other platforms.

Can't wait for this, huge fans of the original. I hated Oblivion, but always hoped Bethesda would use the engine for something worthwhile.Posted at 4:17PM on Aug 20th 2008 by MikeB

Fan of the original games, and huge fan of Oblivion too - Potentially the end of my social life as I know it! :)Posted at 10:08PM on Aug 20th 2008 by Spectre

This game looks KICK ASS. I love what I've seen so far and the best part is that you know the mod community will mod in much more Fallout 1 & 2 almost immediately. Imagine playing Fallout 3 from the good ol' iso view w/ turn based combat or even playing Fallout 1 or 2 in the full 3D world of Fallout 3. I'm tearing up just thinking about it. Pre-order, paid in full, coming very soon.
