Black Isle's Fallout 3 Demo


Some of the Fallout chatter on here reminded me of the canceled "Van Buren" project, which would have been Fallout 3 had Interplay not closed down the Black Isle project in 2003. Most of you will have seen this last year, but I thought it worth mentioning that the tech demo was leaked in 2007 and is now freely available over on StrategyInformer. There's not a great deal to it, but the very existence of an alternate Fallout 3 makes for an interesting compare and contrast.

Bethesda have said there isn't going to be a demo for their Fallout 3, which should hit the PC on October 28th.
