Looking back: Fallout 3 and its DLC

If you played Fallout 3 but haven't explored the DLC, then this article is for you. Fallout's development team has followed the game up with some very solid downloadable content (DLC) releases that may have you investing more than the original costs of the game, but that greatly enrich the experience. These extra don't only add a lot of cool gear, but they throw in scenarios that didn't fit perfectly in the original storyline, letting players explore the world of Fallout 3 past the Capital Wasteland and far outside the purview of the main quest. If nothing else, these downloadables extended the life of the game for about a year after the original release date, making them a big deal to any who can't get enough of the game.

So the PS3 will start getting the DLC 11 months after the games' release? There are just too many other good games out now and releasing soon for me to care about year old content. Great game Bethesda, but a little too late.

PS360WII5802d ago

I'd have to disagree. Sure PS3 owners are not getting the content at the same time but that hardly matters in terms of why you should play it. Judging from the 11 month absent that would mean you haven't played F3 on the PS3 in awhile... depending on your enjoyment with it of course so what better way to get that year old game back into your disk drive then to have some really awesome dlc?

I think it's perfect timing. Sure I already have it on the PC and 360 but if I only had the PS3 version I'd still be getting it with bated breath. They are worthwhile without a doubt. Heck I might just pick up the GOTY edition on PS3 so I can have all version ;) ya I'm an addict lol

"On the way there are two more Fallout expansions, including Mothership Zeta which has a release date of August 3rd."

Does he know something we don't?! Mothership Zeta is suppose to be the last one for F3

toymachine5801d ago

mothership zeta came out today.

PS360WII5801d ago

Yup I know that but he says two more are coming out which includes Mothership Zeta 0.o after he talked about the other 4 that are out now... so is there a hidden 6th we don't know about!?

Give us FO3 with all the dlc remastered like ESO. Load times faster, quality of life improvements, gun play improvements

I believe it shouldn't just be graphical they should make improvements where they can to make the game better. A simple face lift isn't what's needed

ZeekQuattro58d ago

Still my favorite one. I remember getting a digital copy of FO3 when I got FO4(XBO). It was nice to finally play a stable version of the game. Then when I got a Series S it was an even better expierence. Quick resume and FPS boost made it feel like a whole new game. Updated gunplay would be very welcome though. One of the few things FO4 did better.

New Vegas and Morrowind should have been first!

Christopher66d ago

Fairly certain we all know that New Vegas isn't getting anything because it's not a Bethesda developed game.

OMGitzThatGuy66d ago

MS owns both devs, if they want it, a 3rd party will make it.

***MS owns both devs, if they want it, a 3rd party will make it. ***

I think the issue is that it's not a Bethesda developed game, not that MS owns both. This is more about Todd.

RaidenBlack65d ago (Edited 65d ago )

Yep ... Todd doesn't like getting bettered within his own IP scope.
I still think of the Elder Scrolls spin-off Obsidian pitched similar to New Vegas, but Todd rejected.

RaidenBlack65d ago (Edited 65d ago )

Replayed NV more than FO3 ... so I appreciate the FO3 remaster more.
For NV, I'd much prefer a sequel or a spinoff from Obsidian.

FTLmaster66d ago

Got a soft spot for Fallout 3, so I'd be down to play this.

-Foxtrot66d ago

It's crazy New Vegas wasn't worked on first to launch alongside Fallout Season 2.

They could have added all the cut content they had planned but didn't have enough development time to add, possibly even expand on it a little more. For example, have the Vegas strip as one big hub over being chopped into smaller sections we have to keep loading into.

Would love a complete remake or sequel with enough resources

Abnor_Mal66d ago

The only Fallout game I’ve played, PS3 had to keep stopping every few minutes to save. Next thing I knew the credits were rolling and I never did any side quest. I never replayed the game because of all the bugs the game had.

Yui_Suzumiya66d ago (Edited 66d ago )

I've played Fallout 3 more than any game. I lost count many years ago of how many times I finished it. It was my first Platinum trophy. But yeah, it was buggy on PS3 at launch before it got properly patched.

anast66d ago

They are only remaking their games that have been streamlined.
