Jens Erik Vaaler — Tue, 06 Apr 2010 16:51:36 +0000

Fallout 3 and Fable 2, both two quite excellent RPGs hit Games on Demand on the Xbox 360 earlier today. Both games are available to queue up on your Xbox through the official site.

If Fallout and Fable doesn’t tickle your fancy, there are loads of other games out there, waiting to be downloaded.

Fallout 3 DLC finally coming to PS3

Laura Taft — Tue, 19 May 2009 18:04:26 +0000

Bethesda has finally confirmed what all PS3 users have been wanting to hear, that the Fallout 3 DLC packs, are finally coming to them. Released on the PSN from June, starting with Operation Anchorage, with the other two being released 4-6 weeks apart, say Bethesda.

In addition, there are two new DLC packs that are planned for all platforms. Both of the new packs will arrive on PS3 after the originals have been released, so, PS3 owners will have to wait. But hey, at least they’re getting it!

“Point Lookout” a “Massive new swampland area” With new quests and content,

“Mothership Zeta” which apparantly lets you “experience an alien abduction first hand, and find out if you’re tough enough to survive”

Both packs will be out in late June for Xbox 360 and PC for 800 MS points, (£6.80)

More Fallout 3 DLC may appear in the future

Michael O'Connor — Wed, 13 May 2009 13:28:46 +0000

Broken Steel was the last in the announced list of Fallout 3 DLC, but it may not be the last, according to Bethesda’s Peter Hines in OXM.

“Whether it’s the absolute last one remains to be seen, because it’s been hugely successful,” he said. “Operation Anchorage vastly exceeded our expectation. It was like, ‘Holy shit, we did how many?’ And the Pitt was really successful, after a bit of a false start.

“But Broken Steel is the one that… everyone has been bugging us the most about, because it removes the ending and changes the level cap and lets you play more in that world.

“I think it’s going to be hugely, hugely popular.”

Fallout 3: Broken Steel out now

Jens Erik Vaaler — Tue, 05 May 2009 17:44:14 +0000

That sure was fast, wasn’t it? Major Nelson has confirmed on his blog that Fallout 3′s final piece of DLC has gone live on Xbox Live Marketplace.

From the entry:

You may have dealt the Enclave a serious blow at Project Purity, but their forces are still out there, and still pose a grave threat to the people and security of the Capital Wasteland. In Broken Steel, you’ll continue your current Fallout 3 character past the events of Project Purity, and work with the Brotherhood of Steel to eradicate the Enclave threat once and for all. You’ll travel to new locations like the Olney Powerworks, wield destructive new weapons like the Tesla Cannon, fight powerful new creatures like the Super Mutant Overlord, marvel at the destructive power of Liberty Prime, earn new Perks like the devastating Nuclear Anomaly… and play Fallout 3 all the way to level 30!

It’ll set you back 800 points, but it’s worth it. As long as it’s not as broken as The Pitt was.

Fallout 3: Broken Steel release date announced

Jens Erik Vaaler — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 19:06:21 +0000

The 3rd and final bit of Fallout 3 DLC is on the way for the 360 and PC versions. Bethesda just released the first screens as well as a release date.

The DLC comes out on May 5 and will change the ending of the game, in order to make it “never-ending”. Because, y’know, who doesn’t like open ended games these days?

The add-on will also raise the level cap to 30 and contain new weapons, 2 of which include the Tesla Cannon and the Heavy Incinerator.

Bethesda announces Fallout: New Vegas

Michael O'Connor — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 14:36:26 +0000

Well, that was fast. Bethesda has just announced a new Fallout game, titled Fallout: New Vegas, at its London showcase today.

The game will be in the same style as Fallout 3, an open world RPG. Fallout: New Vegas is currently set for a 2010 release for PC, 360, and PS3, and is currently being developed by Obsidian Entertainment.

The choice of developer, Obsidian Entertainment, is an interesting move by Bethesda to make. Obsidian Entertainment is made up of a number of staff from the now defunct Black Isle Studios, who were heavily involved in the development of the first two Fallout games.

This is going to be one to watch. We’ll keep you updated.

Fallout 3′s The Pitt still broken, apparently

Jens Erik Vaaler — Wed, 01 Apr 2009 19:12:43 +0000

As some of you might know, the second Fallout DLC to be released – The Pitt – was released containing a ton of bugs and glitches. Developer Bethesda pulled the content from Xbox Live, fixed it, then re-released it.

But as it turns out, it’s still broken, according to Bethesda themselves:

Since The Pitt went back up on Xbox LIVE last Wednesday, we’ve received feedback that some folks were experiencing freezing issues while trying to access The Pitt. We’re working with Microsoft to get a version of The Pitt up that corrects the aforementioned freezing issue. Once the content is up and available, we’ll let you know.

We’d like to thank all our fans who generously and methodically reported what they were seeing on our official forums, via email and on this blog. This data was immensely helpful in tracking down these issues.

Thanks again to everyone for their support, patience and feedback.

Fallout 3 The Pitt DLC broken. DON’T DOWNLOAD!

Michael O'Connor — Tue, 24 Mar 2009 14:37:31 +0000

[UPDATE] Bethesda has just responded to the issue:

“As of now it looks like the file for the English version on Xbox Live was somehow corrupted. We are currently working with Microsoft to remove the existing file off of Live to prevent any further downloads. Our plan is to replace it with a new file as soon as possible. We hope to have another update for you shortly.”

Consider this an advance warming; if you were considering downloading the latest Fallout 3 expansion pack “The Pitt”… don’t!

Countless reports have been coming from all of the internet of major crashes, bugs and strange problems with the new DC, including warped textures, constant freezing issues, and giant exclamation points appearing all over the place.

“Textures and graphics are glitchy and bugged. There are these box exclamation points all over The Pitt map. I think someone screwed up because it’s completely bugged out. It’s like not playable after the bridge because it freezes. If you manage to get past the bridge part you’re pretty much in glitch city. Good Luck.”

This appears to be problem in all downloads, so your safest bet for now would be to leave it alone until Bethesda fixes the problem. We’re contacting them now for some clarification, and we’ll keep you updated.

Fallout 3 patch lets you play after the end

Laura Taft — Tue, 27 Jan 2009 12:47:44 +0000

A lot of people know, that once you’ve finished Fallout 3, that’s it, no more continuing the game, or doing side quests.

All that is about to be changed with a new patch. 360 and PC gamers will now be able to continue playing the game’s quests (and the new DLC, obviously) even after the game’s ending, thanks to the new patch.

What about the PS3? When asked if PS3 players will get the same patch Tod Howard, the game’s executive producer, replied:

“Not at this time, no.”

It sucks to be a PS3 Fallout player right about now.

Fallout 3 patch causing saved game problems

Michael O'Connor — Tue, 13 Jan 2009 20:34:01 +0000

Although the Fallout 3 1.10 patch fixes a larger number of bugs and glitches, reports have been coming into us from gamers (as well as on the official forums) that this patch has also introduced some new problems, most commonly on the PS3. See below for the full details.

After applying the patch, some players’ saved games have been reported to be missing items – including but not limited to keys for important locations, on random occasions. Furthermore, some gamers have noticed that the game has an increased chance of freezing after loading an area.

There also appears to be some problems with using old save files on the PS3 from before the patch on very rare occasions, In some rare instances, the old save files will not allow the player to save nor auto-save, because the start screen has the “Save” option darkened after the patch is applied, making it impossible to save with the old save files.

This apparently only occurs with saved files before the patch, and infrequently. So far, there is no known fix other than deleting the patch from the “Game Data Utility” and starting the game without installing the patch. We’ll inform you if / when when a proper fix becomes available!

If you have experienced this bugs yourself, please let us know so that can confirm details.

Fallout 3 DLC dated, patch released

Michael O'Connor — Tue, 13 Jan 2009 20:13:12 +0000

[UPDATE] Gamers have bee reporting some problems with the new patch.

Bethesda confirmed today that the first in a series of three Fallout 3 DLC packs, Operation: Anchorage, will be available from the Live Marketplace, on 360 and PC, on January 27th.

Operation: Anchorage will set gamers back 800 Microsoft Points, and will allow players to enter a simulations of “one of the greatest battles of the Fallout universe”, the liberation of Anchorage, Alaska from invading Red Chinese troops in the late 21st century. It will introduce a new squad-based combat system to the game, and includes a number of extensive new quests and new achievements.

Bethesda has also released a patch in preparation for the expansion pack, which also fixes a host of existing bugs and glitches.

PC gamers can dowload the patch from here, whilst PS3 and 360 owners can download the patch simply by loading up the game whilst logged onto the internet with their consoles.

Fallout 3 Xbox 360 exclusive DLC detailed

Laura Taft — Wed, 26 Nov 2008 10:00:27 +0000

Bethesda has detailed it’s new content for fallout 3, which will release in January, and will be exclusive to Xbox 360 and Windows versions of the game.

“Operation Anchorage” will let the player fight an “action packed battle” in a military simulation, and will relive “One of the greatest battles in the fallout universe”

The pack will also be adding new items and quests for the game.

Another 2 packs are planned for the Microsoft platforms.

“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.”

Bethesda has also confirmed the release of the GECK mod tools which will allow users on the PC to create content and levels for Fallout, this will be avaliable from next month, and will be free.

“We’ve always seen the original world of Fallout 3 as a foundation for even more content. Some created by us, and a lot more created by users,” said Fallout 3 director Todd Howard of the tools. “It’s fun to create your own character, but it can be equally fun to create your own adventures. We can’t wait to see what the community does with the G.E.C.K.”
