'Fallout 3' DLC Detailed & Dated For Xbox 360 And PC

Posted by Brian Leahy - Tuesday, November 25, 2008 10:24 AM

We're still enjoying the retail content in Fallout 3, but Bethesda is getting ready to drop more content on Xbox 360 and PC gamers in the coming months. From the description, the content packs should be pretty significant.

First, in December, the PC editor and mod tools will be officially released to the Games for Windows community. Called the "G.E.C.K. (Garden of Eden Creation Kit)", it will be free to all PC users.

Then, every in January, February, and March, a pack full of "new quests, items, and content" will be released for the Xbox 360 and PC. They are:

  • Operation: Anchorage. Enter a military simulation and fight in one of the greatest battles of the Fallout universe – the liberation of Anchorage, Alaska from its Chinese Communist invaders. An action-packed battle scheduled for release in January.
  • The Pitt. Journey to the industrial raider town called The Pitt, located in the remains of Pittsburgh. Choose your  side. Scheduled for release in February.
  • Broken Steel. Join the ranks  of the Brotherhood of Steel and rid the Capital Wasteland of the Enclave remnants once and for all. Continues the adventure past the main quest. Scheduled for release in March.

Pricing has not yet been announced. We're extremely exciting about these packs as two of them include entirely different areas (Anchorage, Pittsburgh) and the third should help tie up some loose ends in the Wasteland.

Sorry, PS3 owners.

I can't wait for The Pitt! Being from Pittsbugh, I can't wait to see how it is going to look in the game! It looks all run down here as it is, i can only imagine how it will look in fallout haha.

@Narad26,

I went to college there and I'm STUPID excited about The Pitt in Fallout.

the one fighing off the communist sounds fun. however i feel like a large scale battle would be alittle tuff for this game just cause its not a fps. but since this game is probably the second best ( if not the best) game of the year so im just gona go ahead and trust them and whatever they do.

I didn't buy this game because I hate RPGs. I tried with Oblivion and I just couldn't get into it so I traded it in the next week. I'm just not patient enough I guess. I was told that this was Oblivion with guns. FWI, I have never even played one Final Fantasy game in my life and I won't buy White Knight Chronicles either. Having said all of that, I'm a PS3 owner but there is no need to apologize to me.

@RedRingOfDeath,

I wasn't the biggest Oblivion fan. I got bored pretty quick with it.

Fallout 3 is amazing and you should try it out. Easy GOTY contender.

no ps3 lol lol lol lol lol

Wow, I'm shocked there isn't a flame war yet.

Give it time, someone is gonna flip out at RROD and it's just gonna go from there.

Children. *sigh*

AND YET AGAIN ANOTHER VICTORY FOR THE BETTER SYSTEM... XBOX 360!...YOU PS3 OWNERS GET STIFFED FOR ALL THE DLC....SUCKS FOR YOU..TO BAD SO SAD..BWAHAHAHAHAH!

@bleahy

You know, I was aware of all of the hype that it got and I was in Gamestop one day with a copy of Fallout 3 in my hand but I just couldn't pull the trigger because I don't like RPGs. I was willing to give it a chance until the guy told me it was Oblivion with guns.

Posted by RedRingOfDeath (BANNED) - Tuesday, November 25, 2008 11:28 AM

Of course, I'll get blamed for this flame war that just started.

Posted by bleahy - Tuesday, November 25, 2008 11:31 AM

It isn't just Oblivion with guns that guy is stupid.

Posted by Indeexo - Tuesday, November 25, 2008 11:31 AM

@ red ring of death

so if i said that killzone 2 is bassicly killzone 1 with more guns would you belive me? of course not thats rediculous and you just want to down a game with 360 and pc exclusives well not down it just give rediculous reasons as to why you havent even tried it

Posted by phillythakidd - Tuesday, November 25, 2008 11:32 AM

R U SERIOUS !!! and here i was thinking i was gonna trade the game in!!!! oh well...SWEET!!!

It took me a while to get into Oblivion, but it eventually sucked me in. I haven't gotten Fallout 3 yet.

dlc baby!

Posted by WarChild76 - Tuesday, November 25, 2008 11:38 AM

@RROD - you've talked mad crap about how PS3 is goona '09 w/ FFXIII Versus, WKC and The Agency and now you say you don't even play RPGs? WTF!?!

Posted by mostbadassmanalive - Tuesday, November 25, 2008 11:38 AM

heard it was buggy on ps3 so got it for pc. no probs.
@rrod
i will admit, it is one of the best games out there in a long time but it is true. it is not for everyone to enjoy. it is slow paceed in the beginning which can turn off alot of people trying it out.

Posted by Zombie4Hire - Tuesday, November 25, 2008 11:39 AM

Damn thats awesome. Fallout 3 is really the best multiplatform game this year, sucks PS3 owners won't be getting this. I would be pissed if I were you.

Posted by brawlreaver - Tuesday, November 25, 2008 11:41 AM

what kind of bs is this? no ps3 version? im pissed off over here. they should make a ps3 version. im going to keep playing FO3 and i hope bathesda comes to their senses and release a ps3 version of this DLC

Posted by bleahy - Tuesday, November 25, 2008 11:43 AM

@brawlreaver,

Microsoft is very serious about securing exclusive DLC.

Posted by RedRingOfDeath (BANNED) - Tuesday, November 25, 2008 11:44 AM

@Indeexo

The difference is I don't like RPGs but I love FPSs. I only thought about giving Fallout 3 a chance because of all of the hype. Everybody says it's great and I believe that but I just don't like RPGs so your comparison is not valid.

Posted by RedRingOfDeath (BANNED) - Tuesday, November 25, 2008 11:48 AM

@Warchild76

Yes, I don't like RPGs but I know that FF 13 versus will be a HUGE game although I'm not buying it. So if I make a list of 09 games then yes FF 13 versus will be on that list as well as White Knight Chronicles but I won't buy neither. I'm sure a lot of you guys don't like RTSs but you list Halo Wars as a good exclusive on your list even though most of you won't buy it.

Posted by BONERJAM - Tuesday, November 25, 2008 11:49 AM

I cant wait for this dlc, I am hopelessly addicted to this game and anything that will add to it is cool with me. I cant wait to see what Anchorage looks like since Alaska's landscape is so different than DC's landscape.

hmm dlc, hopefully they'll give us the freaking SDK already.

Posted by hellrazer360 - Tuesday, November 25, 2008 12:38 PM

as you see this is why i pick xbox 360...its the system that gets all the exclusive stuff...i still own ps3 but i play 360 way more

G4... this is getting really old. Your own Sessler stated his disgust in fanboys and you keep fanning the fire. Give it a rest already. We all know PS3 wasn't getting the content, so why bring it up?

I have a PS3 and 360 and after my 3rd 360 (two full retail purchased, 1 warranty fix), I now keep it for game exclusives only... not DLC exclusives. I refuse to pour any money into the 360 until I feel I can rely on it for long term use. My original Xbox is still running like the day I bought it and I know I'll be able to enjoy those titles that aren't backwards compatible for years to come... can't say the same for my 360, when they discontinue it and you find out the current games won't be compatible with the next Xbox because they moved to "such and such processor" and your 360 dies for good with no more 3 year safety net, that will be thousands of dollars down the tube. My PS3 is whisper quiet and super reliable. I used to love the 360, but it let me down one too many times.

rrod,
"Having said all of that, I'm a PS3 owner but there is no need to apologize to me."

That was a misprint. They put an extra comma. It should have read: Sorry PS3 owners.

Posted by WarChild76 - Tuesday, November 25, 2008 1:02 PM

I honestly thought this was more toned down then usual for G4 fanboy fire fanning - I mean at least the headline didn't start with NO FALLOUT DLC FOR PS3!!!

Posted by GreenQuadrant - Tuesday, November 25, 2008 1:04 PM

Operation: Anchorage sounds AWESOME! Hell, all of them sounds AWESOME! I'm definitely buying them all when they come out.

oh? i forgot...they olny make games for you and if you dont like them they =shyt. bummer. plz inform us what games arnt boring for you and we'll all run out and buy it....

if you dont care for rpgs dosent mean they are boring etc...thats your problem that you can enjoy a certain type of game...and evrygame has some element of rpg in it...even fps.

Posted by bleahy - Tuesday, November 25, 2008 1:25 PM

@Prothean,

A) We have to say it's exclusive to the 360/PC because not everyone knows that. We don't want a PS3 Fallout 3 owner to get excited and then let down when it doesn't come out.

B) I'm genuinely sorry for PS3 owners that they don't get this content.

It's not our fault if you guys get all flame-crazy about it.

Posted by SeanGE - Tuesday, November 25, 2008 1:32 PM

Hmm, im trying to figure out how this will work since Fallout isnt open ended like Oblivion. I mean, the Broken Steel mission dosnt even make sense unless you play it after the final mission. I think it means that you really wont even be playing Fallout 3, you'll be playing the expansion packs running off of the games engine. Wait a minute, but that still dosnt make any sense given the ending. WTF!? How are you going to fight off the Enclave when your dead? Unless it only applies to people who played through as evil or neutral. I confused!!!!!

Posted by Darkis - Tuesday, November 25, 2008 1:35 PM

yup. as a gamer i dont even think it fair. but hence the world of competiton and business.


lol flame crazy...people just like to cross e-peens

Wow, way to spoil it for everyone, nerdyguy...

Posted by DamienHell - Tuesday, November 25, 2008 2:49 PM

I'm phyched for the G.E.C.K more than the knew content (except for the march release)
Stop being mean to RROD, for once his comments actually made sense, many people felt that Fallout 3 was oblivion with guns, I personally didn't feel that way but I'm not going to argue with him. Of course now theres a flame war between RPG lovers and not RPG lovers, which I don't think RROD started, cause his post was very NOT troll like.

Posted by MrOtter88 - Tuesday, November 25, 2008 2:52 PM

I didnt know ps3 wasnt getting the extra content.

Posted by MrOtter88 - Tuesday, November 25, 2008 2:54 PM

But Im not surprised.

Posted by DPsx7 - Tuesday, November 25, 2008 3:14 PM

Who cares, the game don't look that great. They can keep the DLC. I got many better games to play on PS3 and Wii.

Seriously, I think they push this crap for the 360 because the system fails to sell on its own. Oh well, surely the idiot xbots will have a field day, little do they know we don't care.

Posted by MrOtter88 - Tuesday, November 25, 2008 3:18 PM

I think that DPsx7s english dont look that great. And we dont want you playin our system anyway.

Posted by Thundercracker - Tuesday, November 25, 2008 3:50 PM

@bleahy

If rockstar is any indication, i doubt youll see this dlc in feb. though. It took them how long to do the GTA dlc? Back to the point, i LOVED oblivion, and im not into those kind of games. I guess what im asking really is should dave wannstedt get the axe?

Posted by Noirsamurai - Tuesday, November 25, 2008 5:15 PM

DPSX7 seriously get over it, you dont like the xbox we get it.

Posted by ProjektX13 - Tuesday, November 25, 2008 5:39 PM

lol I want DPSX7 to post what games he plays!!!

he has always said that he plays awesome games on the PS3 but only names shooters on PC!!!!

what are you hiding? what games to play on your brick!!!!

Posted by capthavic - Tuesday, November 25, 2008 5:54 PM

...lol NOT!

Posted by SourProphit - Tuesday, November 25, 2008 8:05 PM

"little do they know we don't care."

Yet you spend 2 paragraphs complaining. Careful, your jealousy is showing.

I didn't get this game, looks a smidge slow-paced (yea I know it's an RPG) plus I already played Ovlivion basically as if it were a stealth-shooter. But the inclusion of my hometown.... mmmm that makes this tempting. Maybe after the price drops.....

Posted by partyboy8967 - Tuesday, November 25, 2008 8:07 PM

yo Prothean ur stupid sure we all knew that but we didnt know the dates this article told us the dates of the dlc and they simply said sorry ps3 owners g4 isnt favoring the 360 they just had an article the other day saying how good god of war 3 looked its simply the fact that the 360 has more news b/c they have more games (not starting flame war just stating facts)

Posted by random_luigi07 - Tuesday, November 25, 2008 11:48 PM

I got it for the ps3 knowing that exclusive content was gonna fall into the 360's lap, but my money is on a release of these or similar dlc later on down the line. It's all good though, I was skeptical of the game cuz I didnt like Oblivion too much, but this game is just badass. Game of the year b/w LBP & Fallout3.

Posted by ratshady - Wednesday, November 26, 2008 5:52 AM

I will go buy this game next week.This game sound's awesome.!

Those DLCs keep comin but no games huh

Posted by Grizzablo - Wednesday, November 26, 2008 10:49 AM

Bethesda will probably never release the DLC for PS3 because with as much money as M$ has coming out of their a$$es I can only imagine how much $ they gave them for exclusive content. How much was it for GTA4? Swear it was quite a many million. And obviously from a business standpoint it is obvious that Bethesda does loose money on only having it for 2 of the 3 systems it is out on but since it remains exclusive they must have made money on whatever M$ gave them to make up for what they lost not having it on the PS3. Dumb.

I want to get it for PS3 because of the trophies that are coming, but I dont want it cuz PS3 gets shafted with DLC. In reality though FO3 is so huge with so much stuff a lacked of DLC isnt a huge biggy.

Posted by Xsi9mm - Wednesday, November 26, 2008 11:08 AM

Reanimatorx2, I totally was wondering the exact same thing. I think they are laying off their workers and hiring apes to post.

Posted by GhostMLD - Wednesday, November 26, 2008 11:44 AM

sucks to own a ps3

some future mproof console. dont make me laugh

Posted by porfa - Thursday, January 1, 2009 8:56 PM

this is not oblivion with guns! it is oblivion with patches fixed,guns(including laser and plasma rifles),gore,cussing, and take place in a apocoliptic wastland. so to shorten it all,


IT PWNS!!!!!!

Posted by Luchiano - Thursday, January 15, 2009 12:23 PM

It's all so funny how people fight over which system is better. I have both and mostly buy games for PS3 because I love the controller. Sucks now because I cant get the DLC for the game but it will be alright. For those of you out there hating on one system or another...... just go and buy the other. oh and they both rock but I still LOOOOOVVVVEEEEEE Blu-ray.
