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

JsonHenry6391d 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.

Cernunnos6391d 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.

mabreu6391d ago

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

Shroomy6391d ago

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

KineticX6391d 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.

ThanatosDMC6390d ago

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

NRG6390d ago

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

Proxy6390d 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.

Would be nice if they had New Vegas ready as well, especially because of the show.

Hopefully this doesn't have the same performance issues as Oblivion Remastered.

cloganart124d ago

I haven't seen anything on these performance issues? What's been going on?

walken7124d ago

Probably the Unreal Engine issues, I skipped it for that reason.

Snookies12125d ago (Edited 125d ago )

Throw in all the DLC as well, like Oblivion and I'll definitely bite. I recall having one trophy left to unlock on the PS3 version with 100+ hours in my save. When my save file got corrupted, lol. Very sad day.

To be fair though, Bethesda was trash at Playstation ports anyway.

Michiel1989125d ago

all devs sucked at porting to ps3 for the first like 3 years because no one had experience with the cell architecture. Even 1st party took a long while to get proficient with it, the difference between uncharted 1 and 3 is massive for example.

Extermin8or3_125d ago

Oh oh oh I can do this too. GTA 7 will be made at some point in the future. Fallout 5 will enter development in the future too

jznrpg125d ago

Everyone there should know most gamers want New Vegas and Morrowind more than anything.

Christopher124d ago

Which is why we won't get them. Gotta keep floating "support this one and it might happen".

BlaqMagiq1125d ago

Can't wait. Won't have to go back to my PS3 to play this when it comes out.

Fallout 3 remastered on the Nintendo Switch 2 is what we deserve, not the worst Fallout game

Fallout Day's disappointing news that Fallout 4 is coming to Switch 2 is a shame, as this 17-year-old entry is more deserving of a new port.

Why exactly do you think you deserve it??

Phoenix76197d ago

Fallout 4 isn't the worst game in the franchise. It's either Fallout 76 or Fallout BOS that's the worst.

gigoran8196d ago

PC and all other modern consoles never got a remaster of 3, but obviously the switch 2 was the tipping point to make it a reality... ahuh

1nsomniac196d ago

Meh, I thought 3 was garbage. I'm not a great fan of the franchise to be fair. They're like B-Movie films, really shallow and janky. 4 was definitely one of the better ones though.

UltimateOwnage196d ago

So the article makes a snippy entitled statement and acts like that is going to encourage a publisher to give them what they want. Okay.

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

ZeekQuattro384d 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.
