Forums - Gaming Discussion - Evidence PS3 may finally get a Fallout 3 DLC

http://gamer.blorge.com/2009/05/02/evidence-ps3-may-finally-get-a-fallout-3-dlc/

Thanks to a deal struck with Microsoft, the Xbox 360 has been getting the royal treatment from Bethesda Software regarding Fallout 3. The console is set to receive three DLC contents with two already available for purchase. However, there are clues indicating that the PS3 may be receiving DLC for Fallout 3 soon as well.

Fallout 3 is hands down one of the best RPGs of last year. I have currently clocked over 120 hours including the DLC contents. I am definitely looking forward to Broken Steel which will wrap up the battle between the Enclave and Brotherhood of Steel. If you recall I harshly criticized Bethesda Software for not making available the Broken Steel DLC to PS3 owners as it is a pivotal closure to one of the biggest loose ends in the game.

According to multiple retail sites, a new DLC bundle is available for preorder titled Fallout 3 Expansion Pack: Broken Steel & Point Look. The bundle is not all that surprising as Bethesda has done something similar for the first two DLCs. However, the inclusion of an unannounced DLC titled “Point Look” or “Point Lookout” was surprising.

Bethesda and Microsoft announced an agreement to release three DLC for the Xbox 360. However, since the agreement (contract) will have run its course come May 5th, chances are good that the fourth DLC will be made available for the PS3.

Another big clue came when Shacknews asked Peter Hines, head honcho of Bethesda Software, about the fourth unannounced DLC. Hines made an interesting comment when he stated:

We have said there will be three DLCs for Fallout 3, for PC and 360… Beyond that we have no announced plans for additional DLC.

The thing that caught my attention besides the “no announced” comment was the wording of the DLC announcement around the PC and 360. Usually a company would be shouting at the top of its lungs regarding a new DLC. However, considering the fact that Hines is only talking about DLC for Xbox 360, it sounds like an exclusivity agreement in action.

This is the same kind of dance you would see if a journalist were to ask a software company if there are plans to bring the exclusive game to another system. With the release of Broken Steel around the corner, we will most likely hear more about this fourth DLC in the coming weeks.

They better bring every DLC pack to the PS3, I've enjoyed Fallout 3 very much. But it saddens me that there's an expanded storyline and people who've bought the same game for the same price on a different console can't play it because Microsoft took out the money-hat!

If I had a 360 I would've bought it on that system but i don't have one. But I feel, that when a company decides to make a game for platform X and Y. And already knows it's gonne release DLC. It shouldn't accept money just to release DLC on platform X rather then X and Y. Pretty sad of you Bethesda Softworks! You fell prey to the money-hatters that brought us Vista!!!

So you're saying you would have better approved Bethesda just not release Fallout 3 on PS3 at all?

so just buy a Xbox360 with Fallout 3 when you want to play the completed version. That is what exclusives are all about. you can't blame MS for doing that.



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

No, I'm saying that if they release Fallout 3 on console X and Y they should keep supporting it on console X and Y rather then on console X only!...

Jup, just buy an X360 and Fallout 3 on it and spend 250 euro's just to get the DLC!... That's ridiculous! I rather spend my money wisely! *cough* instead of the people who actually do that kind of stuff and who are the ones that thrive this economical crisis with their exorbitant spendings *cough*... And I understand that 'exclusives' are about that, but Fallout 3 isn't exactely exclusive! Either you make the whole game + DLC exclusive or nothing at all! Not only the DLC! That's simply ignoring 1.4 million Fallout 3 owners on the PS3.

I'm not saying I'm pissed, I thoroughly enjoyed Fallout 3 on the PS3... But if there were DLC content available for PS3 I'd get it! And since I know there is DLC on the X360, I think it's just ridiculous of Bethesda not to bring it to the PS3!

i'll tell you right now the dlcs are wildly overrated if at all

alaska is literally a two hour mission thats mainly shooting, no roleplaying

the pitt would be the same if they didnt tack on fining 100 collectibles to lengthen it

broken steel, who knows? but im expecting nothing to be honest

very dissapointing dlc so far, nothing approaching the shivering isles for oblivion

oblivion had an add on as long as anchorage for it called mehrunes razor, of course it was 10 percent of the price of anchorage too . . .



Last year's game of the year turned out to be Silent Hill : Shattered Memories (online GOTY was COD 6).  This year's GOTY leader to me is Heavy Rain.

Wii Friend Code: 4094-4604-1880-6889

just found this check it out. dlc MAY be coming out this 17th
