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.

PS360WII6126d 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

toymachine6126d ago

mothership zeta came out today.

PS360WII6126d 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!?

Would be nice if they had New Vegas ready as well, especially because of the show.

Hopefully this doesn't have the same performance issues as Oblivion Remastered.

cloganart123d ago

I haven't seen anything on these performance issues? What's been going on?

walken7123d ago

Probably the Unreal Engine issues, I skipped it for that reason.

Snookies12124d ago (Edited 124d ago )

Throw in all the DLC as well, like Oblivion and I'll definitely bite. I recall having one trophy left to unlock on the PS3 version with 100+ hours in my save. When my save file got corrupted, lol. Very sad day.

To be fair though, Bethesda was trash at Playstation ports anyway.

Michiel1989123d ago

all devs sucked at porting to ps3 for the first like 3 years because no one had experience with the cell architecture. Even 1st party took a long while to get proficient with it, the difference between uncharted 1 and 3 is massive for example.

Extermin8or3_123d ago

Oh oh oh I can do this too. GTA 7 will be made at some point in the future. Fallout 5 will enter development in the future too

jznrpg123d ago

Everyone there should know most gamers want New Vegas and Morrowind more than anything.

Christopher123d ago

Which is why we won't get them. Gotta keep floating "support this one and it might happen".

BlaqMagiq1123d ago

Can't wait. Won't have to go back to my PS3 to play this when it comes out.

Fallout 3 remastered on the Nintendo Switch 2 is what we deserve, not the worst Fallout game

Fallout Day's disappointing news that Fallout 4 is coming to Switch 2 is a shame, as this 17-year-old entry is more deserving of a new port.

Why exactly do you think you deserve it??

Phoenix76195d ago

Fallout 4 isn't the worst game in the franchise. It's either Fallout 76 or Fallout BOS that's the worst.

gigoran8195d ago

PC and all other modern consoles never got a remaster of 3, but obviously the switch 2 was the tipping point to make it a reality... ahuh

1nsomniac195d ago

Meh, I thought 3 was garbage. I'm not a great fan of the franchise to be fair. They're like B-Movie films, really shallow and janky. 4 was definitely one of the better ones though.

UltimateOwnage195d ago

So the article makes a snippy entitled statement and acts like that is going to encourage a publisher to give them what they want. Okay.

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

ZeekQuattro383d 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.
