    So im 100% new too the series. And I keep hearing how this one will be all different. Also saw there was a developer change. What's the difference between this fallout and the two old ones?

    That the old one's were turn based RPGs. This one is a real time game with a slightly different setting and 3d graphics.

    It's a different game really

    It was a grid based system where your character took a turn and depending on the stats got a certain amount of points to spend on actions such as moving around the map or firing a weapon. After you finished your turn the enemy would then do the same thing until one of you was either dead or ran away.

    No. This has nothing in common whatsoever, with Advance Wars.
    I reccomend that you watch some gameplay videos of Fallout 1 and 2 on Youtube.

    Oh. Wow. I had no idea that the first two games were turn-based. That makes me want to play them even more. When Good Old Games ( www.gog.com ) launches, I'm gonna buy 1 and 2 so I can experience them before the 3rd one comes out.
