Played part of one of the earlier ones (2 I think) on console and gave up after about three hours thinking "what the heck was all the hype about?". I guess like Halo etc it's one of those "either you 'get it' or you don't" games.

That said, if they want to do me a free copy as a present (11th December being my birthday) then I won't say no. ;)

I finished Fallout3 and still not have finished Fallout:New Vegas. I have played well over 100 hours of the latter and still not touched much of the main story. It is huge in scope with a massive map,and some quite funny parts too:

I too have not finished New Vegas yet, even though I thought I had just finished it, found it went onto something else lol. The expansions with Fallout 3 were kinda of fun I thought.

Cant wait

Supposedly Hexus is a fake site according to some OcUK chap.

If one looked up on the new parts on that site and looked up about the decoding they will find many people did it the first few min of the site being updated.

You might be correct:

I love OcUK....

I used a shift cipher and notepad to decrypt it.

Rage engine can't do day/night cycles, so unlikely

It seems to be based on some derivative though.

I'm not sure how they'd do it. One of the main points of Rage's engine is it can't do dynamic global lighting. All the lighting is precomputed at map/texture compile time.

I haven't had the chance to play any game from the Fallout series. Might give this one a try seeing all the hype and excitement around.
