Will Fallout 3 run on my laptop?

Hey.
Really been reading a lot about Fallout 3, and since its just a couple of days away from launch, I wanted to know how will it fare on my laptop?
See sig for details.

Also, what about Dead Space?

 

Those games will take up a lot of space, so be warned. But, they will definitely be able to play. If you put everything on low, you probably can get 25-30fps. So, you can probably play them at medium with a decent 15-20fps.

 

I'm not worried about the space, that I can manage somehow. I just wanna play the game at respectable frame rates and good visual quality.

 

At low settings you should be able to play just fine. Might need to lower your resolution, though.

 

I suggest putting the res on max and starting with everything else on complete low. Then, go up as you wish until you get a nice balance of quality and fps/

 

you did not just call 15-20fps "decent". you did not.

 

Depends on Res.
And XAA also XAF
And mostly likely view distance.

 

If it barely runs I think AA and high AF is out.

OP: if Oblivion ran OK on your machine F3 will too.

 

Oblivion ran great, almost every setting full and AA off.

What about this?

 

fallout 3 has higher requirements than oblivion.my comp can run oblivion but not fallout. your computer should be able to run it on med-low

 

well, lets hope it comes optimised and satisfy all the gamers around the world

 

Dead Space should run fairly well. Performance wise it runs like Doom 3, Quake 4 and HL2. Pretty sweet for a new game.

 

i'm getting that one tomorrow, i hope its not a let down Graphically.

 

^^ No let down, trust me. Lots of screen shots around the web, check em out.

Edit: Thread Jack! Here's some from me.

lol. some games handle such low fps good. for ex- crysis can fair well at 18-25...u dont need the full 60, not even 30.

 

Fallout 3 is the one I wanna play really badly, just read through the 6 page IGN Review and all I can say is OMFG!!

 

^^ Agreed. I am skipping FC 2 after i finish Dead Space and going for Fallout 3. That game should last me till Christmas at least lol.

 

Well I wish I was as wealthy as you to afford buying all the games!!

 

FYI: Im thinking of going for Bully, low requirements and a good game.

 

Hey I'm not wealthy, just a regular working shmo. I only buy 2-3 new release games/year by the way. It's just they all come out around now! Then I play them till the rest drop in price, or I go back to my faves, or go way back and buy really old games.

Only new release games I bought last year for full new release retail were Crysis, Orange Box and Bioshock. I still have not played COD 4 because I don't do MP and $50 is not worth the SP imo.
