Interplay posted a press release announcing their arrival on Steam.<blockquote>Beginning today, Interplay titles including Fallout, Sacrifice and Kingpin will become available for purchase via Steam, which makes PC games available online to more than 20 million users worldwide.

"We are excited to offer the millions of Steam customers online access to Interplay titles beginning with some jewels of our classic PC catalog priced below $10," said Herve Caen, Interplay CEO. "Interplay is committed to delivering the best quality titles to PC gamers and distribution on Steam is one of the many steps we are taking to increase accessibility to our content for fans around the world."</blockquote>May mean some more FOOL money.

I wonder if they will have the unofficial patches on fallout 1 and 2 like they were with the newly released Fallout Trilogy.


if not its fairly easy to mod 3rd party games on steam (assuming the executables aren't messed with) all you do is dl the game, then on the games list right click it, hit properties, then updates tab, and select do no automatically update this game.
 
Why the hell would you buy the Fallout games on Steam?

Get them from...

www.gog.com



GOG is a thousand times better than Steam, not only is Fallout cheaper on GOG but GOG has no DRM restriction while Steam acts very much like a DRM...

1. Some people dont know about gog.
2. People get used to steam and own a lot of games there.
3. Having fallout in your game collection on steam makes your e-peen bigger.
 
I really don't see the point in bitching about Fallout 1 and 2 being more widely available to people, in the format they choose...
 
can anyone else actually access the Interplay page in the steam store? i keep getting a "No results were returned for that query".

I wans't saying that it was bad that Interplay put Fallout on Steam....

Interplay needs the money anyway...

I was just saying that GOG is superior to Steam for the benefit of anybody who may be reading this topic and not have FO1 or FO2...
 
If any of you decide to get Fallout 2 on Steam, do tell if it comes with unofficial content (patches, resolutions, etc). I am quite curious.

Steam does allow mod, but I never try it before.
Honestly, consider the hassle of having to launch an application and connect to the internet before you can play a SINGLE-PLAYER game, I never like STEAM (in terms of playing any single-player game) at all.
 
The steam versions of the bethesda games have broken all the script extenders and engine mods, (MGE, from my point of view,) but after a bit of complaining they released updates to fix compatibility, presumably by replacing their mutilated DRM'd exe's with the original versions; I can't think of any other way they could have made MGE work.

The fallout's will very likely be the same. sfall (and hence anything that depends on it, like parts of the fallout 2 unofficial patch and restoration project,) will not function, but if you head over to their forums and complain they'll (hopefully, depending on if they see it as influencing PR or future sales,) fix it.

Edit: So, where are all these interplay games on steam? It's been well more than a day now, and the link in the press release still 404s, a search for interplay on the steam site returns no results and there's nothing on the steam news page. :?
 
urk, expensive. Stick to GoG, it's cheaper, and saves having to worry about mod compatibility.

Also, why's it labelled multiplayer? Is there a part of fallout I've been missing all these years? :P

Dunno what the American prices are, but here fallout 2 on its own is about 60% more on steam than from GoG. I suppose 60% on a few pound still isn't expensive in absolute terms, but it's still surprising.

Im actually from Finland.

I went with the following logic:

1$ = 1€ in steam

GOG price = ~6$
Steam price = ~8$

(Altough i would have to pay 8 _euros_ for it here which is more that just 2 dollars more)

Hmm.
 
I've noticed that the Steam Fallout 2 trailer does not show ANY gameplay at all. Just all of the cutscenes from Fallout 2 with the addition of a tiny part of a Fallout 1 cutscene.

Way to sell the game; appeal to all the Fallout 3 fanboys with the only high graphical parts. :x

I haven't checked out the Tactics trailer but I bet it follows the same pattern.

And yeah... why is it tagged as multiplayer? I can understand that for Tactics and Collection (because it includes Tactics) but Fallout 1 and 2 did not have multiplayer.

EDIT: The Fallout Tactics trailer did show some gameplay but it was in quick small parts. Although the majority of the trailer consisted of the graphical cutscenes and random images.

And... uh... where's the Fallout 1 trailer? Oh I see, Fallout 1 didn't have enough cutscenes to be made into an actual trailer. Ok then.

(You can probably tell I'm pissed off)
 
why do i get the feeling these are the european version with the invisible kids so you cant kill them?
