Fallout 3 Gets Leaked, Goes Gold

Fallout 3 is due to be released in a few weeks, and Bethesda recently announced that all versions of the game have gone gold. They provided the systems specs for the PC release as well. Unfortunately for them, the Xbox 360 version was leaked onto torrent sites almost three weeks early. Bethesda is "looking into" how the game was distributed. In preparation for the launch, game director Todd Howard spoke at length with Gamasutra about the scope of the project, and the differences from their previous games, such as Oblivion. CrispyGamer recently ran a three-part series detailing their four hours of hands-on time with the game. We've previously looked at some gameplay videos for Fallout 3, and discussed the fact that no mod tools will ship with the game.

    Yeah, right. And I'm sure all the other people downloading the file chunks from you while you're downloading it from them are treating it as a "demo" too. All these demo-ers!

    Bethesda was good enough to include only a CD check with Oblivion. No StarForce, no SecuROM, none of that install-three-times-and-then-you're-screwed. Their reward, apparently, is that some assmunches rip off their new game three weeks before the release date.

    Since they ripped off the Xbox360 version, though, I guess there's at least a tiny "fuck you" to Microsoft's DRM involved in this one.

    "Assclown" - Funny, maybe you should look in the mirror.. You are doing such a good job of making an "Assclown" of yourself...

    It's the same thing. With guns.

    I'm not from anything. It's literally Oblivion with guns. And a combat system that gives you a 2% percentage to hit if you're more than two inches from your target.
