Fallout 3 DLC exclusive to 360/PC News

Xbox 360 PC News by Dan Pearson

14 July, 2008

Bethesda's Todd Howard has announced that downloadable content will be made available for Fallout 3 exclusively for PC and Xbox 360.

Speaking at Microsoft's conference at E3 2008, Howard stated: "We love Xbox Live Marketplace, we're happy to announce that we're going to be doing substantial DLC for Fallout 3 and it will be exclusive to Xbox 360 and Windows PC." There was no concrete information on what we'll be getting.

Prior to talking about DLC, Howard walked through a live demo of the game, showing the VATS system in action as well as the Fatman personal nuke launcher. There was talk of a hacking mechanic as well, but was not shown.

Howard also talked about the game's scope, pegging it as a 100-hour plus experience "that reacts to how you play it". You can be good, bad, or "anything in-between".

Check back soon for more on what looks like one of the must-haves of 2008.

Killable children! Mwahaha...

I want free DLC. Anything that needs to be paid for should already be in the original. Unless we're talking expansion packs but then they should boast enough content to be paid for!

Fallout 3 should be played on the PC! I mean, I would never have bothered with Oblivion without the mods. Unless.. Microsoft allows mods to spread on Xbox Live?

They withheld content from Oblivion and weren't even subtle about it, so it's pretty obvious they'll do it again. I bet that's also why they withheld the editor, so they could sell dogmeat armour more easily. Of course not all companies are obliged to provide an editor and I can rate the content of the game based on what it is, rather than what it isn't but Bethesda are so bad at making games without an editor feature they're completely worthless.
