Fallout 3 versions 'should all be the same date', says Bethesda

Todd Howard, executive producer of Fallout 3, has told videogaming247 that Bethesda's aim it to release the massively anticipated RPG for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC simultaneously.

"They should all be the same date," he said. "That's our plan."

The news will delight PlayStation 3 owners, who were forced to wait until April 2007 for a version of Bethesda's swords and sorcery smash, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, while Xbox 360 and PC versions hit in March 2006.

Someone should tell him his garden needs some work.

Good one CRIMS0N_W0LF :)
As for the Garden, I'll use my G.E.C.K to restore (Garden of Eden Creation Kit). God, this brings memories. The persuit of GECK in Fallout 2.

Great find and news.

[Bolts]

I forgot what the GECK was used for at the end??

[MK_Red]

Though there was a new city built with Vault 13's GECK in the end, it had no real use for those that needed it the most, namely, main population of Arroyo.

lol at the picture. Any news on Fallout3 and you can bet your A$$ that Mk is in the top 5 comments :).

[PirateThom]

Hmmmm... should I buy this game?

Hmmmm.....

Duh, everyone should buy this game.

[Keowrath]

I'll be getting it for PS3, I hope that it is a simultaneous release but it's not gonna stop me picking it up as soon as it comes out. If it does come out together, awesome but if not I'm sure I'll have something to keep me busy.

[Fishy Fingers]

So does anyone have a clue when ths is released? 2009?

[warpbackspin]

"The game is scheduled to launch in the third quarter of 2008."

[Xeikon]

I can't wait to get this for my 360.

I just hope that Besethda do not delay the 360 version because of technical issues with the PS3.

[SUP3R]

Why do all of your posts have to be retarded fanboy comments?

[heyheyhey]

way to spread bullsh!t in a non-offensive way

those technical issues are dying out- your going to have to find something else to cry about

[GETPWNED]

lmao. not really.

a post apocalytic nueclear holocast takes place as the setting of an RPG... i'm reminded of FF7 advent children... Man and the screens and video's for this title look immensly beautiful... quite possibly the most beautiful game of 2008, and that Says alot considering that KZ2 was the most beautiful Alpha game at it's showing last year... I hope Fallout 3 releases simultaneosly... this is one game i cant skip for my PS3...

and on an Off note.. KZ2 better have some showing before E3 this year... if anything I hope they have it at Sony's Gamer day 08 in May.. and then blow our lids off at E308

I can only say this: Bubbles for you my friend :)

Along with what you said, Fallout 3 also has the superb S.P.E.C.I.A.L character creation and developement system that is richer and deeper than anything outside realm Fallout and if Bethesda can use it well along with the rest of Fallout license and make it a game that's not as shallow as Oblivion but is a true and deep RPG then Fallout 3 will become game of the decade even though it may never reach the greatness of original 2.

As for Killzone 2, they indeed better show something.

[ASSASSYN 36o]

Key word is SHOULD.

[InMyOpinion]

This and Deus Ex 3 are on my top-5 most wanted games for 2008.

[MK_Red]

Fallout and Deus Ex = Lord of PC. They are coming in 2008. Fallout 3 and Deus Ex 3 will OWN. (Unless either of them is delayed to 2009)

[Keowrath]

Shhhhhhh Red! Don't even think about these titles being 09' delayed!

Nice choice Jenzo.

[Bleucrunch]

Remember that fallout is a xbox port for the ps3 version.

[Scions Wrath]

Makes you wonder... IF one version came at a later date than the others if it would benefit in the same way PS3 did with Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion.

[Maldread]

It will be interesting to see how the versions measure up to each other because of it, but i seem to remember the developer said the three version should be pretty similar to each other. Hope they`re right, the game looks epic and it would be great for gamers across all platforms to get an amazing Fallout experience at the same time and with equal quality.
