Fallout: New Vegas Golden, Specs Revealed
Bethesda provided system specs for the upcoming PC version of Fallout: New Vegas
Friday Bethesda announced that Fallout: New Vegas had gone gold and was sent off to manufacturing. Slated for the PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, the upcoming single-player RPG is not a direct sequel to Fallout 3, but instead takes place three years later in 2281. Players take on the role of a courier who was shot in the head and left for dead in a shallow grave while on route to deliver a package.
Along with the “golden” news, Bethesda also released a list of hardware specs for the PC version. However instead of offering two sets consisting of minimum and recommended requirements, Bethesda instead chose to provide a generalized list that don't appear all that hefty. Still, New Vegas is “enhanced” for multi-core CPUs although no specific details were given.
The list is as follows:
- Processor: Dual core @ 2.0 GHz
- Memory: 2 GB
- HDD Space: 10 GB
- GPU: Nvidia GeForce 6 series or ATI 1300XT series (minimum)
- OS: Windows 7 / Vista / XP
The game was actually developed by Obsidian Entertainment and will be published by Bethesda here in the States on October 19--Namco Bandai will bring New Vegas to Europe on October 22. The PC version will use Valve's Steam for DRM, requiring gamers to set up an account during installation. However Steam will also offer player achievements, cloud save storage, and other features.

Valve's steam DRM ?
Why do they even bother ? DRM was proven useless AGES ago. It won't stop piracy, It might even double the number of pirating group that would consider this as a challenge and crack the game in less than 24 hours (Ubisoft's Assassin's creed 2 DRM, Anyone ?)
--Will this game utilize DX11 and Physx ?
At least it doesn't use GFWL!
steam drm is different for all you idiots takes quite the hacker to get past it. plus steam drm is by far the best drm in the bussiness multi-installs on one account, achivments free patches automatically if you want not to mention no disks
Steam DRM is as useless as the next, however if this is as good as Fallout 3 I will be buying it.
Those specs are surprisingly low... and for some reason, I wouldn't trust them to be the middle ground between minimum and recommended. To run games at full whack, we're talking way higher specs for smooth gameplay, so expect a few complaints when the game is released about lower than expected performance...

Name one game that use Steam that haven't been cracked.
And their are many "crackers" who are up to the challenge. Let me mention a few cracking teams' names: Reloaded, Razor1911, Skullptura, Vitality, Skidrow. And the list goes on.
