Bethseda details Fallout 3 DLC

Bethesda's detailed its Fallout 3 DLC, promising that Operation Anchorage will expand the game by roughly four to five hours.

The content will cost 800 points and is pencilled in for a January release. It will see you fight the Chinese red army and liberate the town of Anchorage via an in-game simulator. The mission will focus on stealth and a new 'Covert Ops' perk will be available to the player.

Operation Anchorage "will include new weapons, armor and achievements! It's full of top-secret technology used by both sides during the war, which the player will of course be able to use throughout the main game as well," said Fallout 3 lead producer Jeff Gardiner to IGN.

Hit the link for much more including some details on two more expansion packs, Broken Steel and The Pit.

Where is the trophy patch?? Anyone know?

Nathan Drake5651d ago

Maybe they'll work on it then...?

Pennywise5651d ago

lol!!! I would like to play a decent RPG that is not turn based. I am not a trophy ho, but they did announce it didnt they?

thereapersson5651d ago

Bethesda doesn't really care about the PS3 version of the game. All the money is in the 360 and PC versions.

Mr_Bun5651d ago

They did announce that they were working on it but didn't give any date

is it any good? gears2, l4d, cod:waw keep me pretty busy and this christmas mgs4, lbp, and uncharted should keep me even more busy. dunno if ill get a chance to play this until sometime next year.

Cheeseknight285651d ago

It's a great game, but I would suggest buying the 360 or PC version so you can get the DLC.

Proxy5651d ago

I doubt I will have finished the main quest by the time the DLC comes out.

Mainly because I'm playing L4D, Little Big Plannet, TF2, and other games.

I just usually don't find Fallout 3 to be worth the time.

Just my opinion.

DA_SHREDDER5651d ago

Its not a bad game, but its not better then Morrowind or Oblivion. I dont know why Besethda wants to revitalize the series for. Fallout isnt the series that made them popular. On the other hand, I would rather make the games I wanted to make instead of what other people wanted if they were gonna buy it all anyways. It sorta sucks though. I was hoping for a game in the Elder Scrolls series. This game is seriously depressing, and ugly to top it off.

I finally started playing the game last Friday, and have had a hard time getting anything else done because of it. It's far more enjoyable than Oblivion for me, due to a much less clumsy combat system which is a huge part of both games.

The only real complaint I have about the game is that it's just too easy even with the difficulty cranked up. Then, with the difficulty at very hard, I gained more experience per kill, which meant my character level was maxed out before I even got far into the story. So, for the majority of the game my character has been the same with no real sense of progression, which I admit takes away some of the fun of exploration and dungeon (sewer) crawling.

Cheeseknight285651d ago

Elder Scrolls V is coming in a year or two, so just wait till then. Personally, I couldn't stand Oblivion, mainly because I got tired of all the ridiculously generic caves you found along the way. The subway stations all over Fallout 3 aren't quite as annoying, especially when you open one of the random terminals around and get some small anecdote on what happened in the station.

xaphanze5651d ago

It's more enjoyable than Oblivion, but it's way shorter. Why the heck are the side quests so low in number? Oblivion had tons and tons of side quests while Fallout 3 had barely....I can't believe I finished it so soon.

How about you actually SHOW wtf you're talking about

Nacho_Z13d ago

Always annoying when articles do that.

I agree with them that the tv show was a bit on the clean side. They got loads right regarding set design etc but there's room for improvement.

gold_drake13d ago

i dont. it hurts my eyes. but im fairly ssensitive when it comes to that sort of stuff.

Looking Back At 2008, An Unbelievably Incredible Year Of Video Game Releases

Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."

ChasterMies37d ago

Some of these low paid video game “news” writers weren’t born before 2007.

just_looken37d ago

Here here

Those that were around before 2000's i am sure are like me that think we entered a world of non readers or those that follow without question.

I can not wait to see fallout 3 a goty game even though it was about water with non content until you add the dlc/updates then you got the performance/crashing

CrimsonWing6937d ago

I don’t think anything can compare to 2023

lucasnooker37d ago

1998 - the best year in gaming! Metal gear solid, crash bandicoot 3, medievil, half life, ocarina of time, thief, tenchu, resident evil 2, Spyro, tomb raider 3, oddworld abes exodus, banjo kazooie.

It was a different breed of a gaming era. You’ll never understand what it was like back then. The aura of gaming, it was different!

KyRo37d ago (Edited 37d ago )

I second this. Gaming was a lot more varied and fun than it is today. I'm 35 so getting on compared to some here but I got to see all the changes from NES up to now but I've never felt so disappointed in any generation than I have this current gen. I was expecting more from this generation rather than prettier versions of games that came before it. Game mechanics have become so refined that alot of games feel the same and has done for a while now.

Maybe it's time to have a break for a while. I love gaming but I don't feel I get much fun in the traditional sense out of it anymore.

CrimsonWing6937d ago (Edited 37d ago )

Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Abe’s Exodus, and Ocarina of Time are the only things from that list that I liked.

Here’s the 2023 game releases that I personally liked… and big releases that I didn’t care for:

- Dead Space Remake
- Wo Long Dynatsy
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Diablo 4
- Fire Emblem Engage
- Hogwarts Legcay
- Street Fighter 6
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Like a Dragon: Ishin
- Octopath Traveler 2
- Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters
- Final Fanatsy XVI (actually ended up not liking this, but it was still a big deal release)
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
- Lies of P
- Mortal Kombat 1
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Starfield (Ended up hating this one, but big release)
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (I’m an old-school Zelda fan, but didn’t really enjoy this game)
- Alan Wake 2

I mean, honestly I’ve never seen a year of major IP releases like that, ever.

Profchaos37d ago (Edited 37d ago )

Isn't it just a generational thing realistically.

I've been gaming since way back and I some of my favourite games go as far back as the late 80s for me each generation has a year or two of game changing releases one after another before an inevitable dry spell.

I kind of agree gaming had a different feel games hit different because we didn't have the internet nothing got spoiled and you really had to put in the effort to beat a puzzle which could set entire groups of people looking for a solution. But most importantly games were experimental and not as cookie cutter as today even basics like controls were not universal today r2 is shoot l2 is ads garunteed you can't deviate from that in a shooter back then it could of been square, R1 or R1 and circle nothing was standard.

But as time moves on a new generation picks up their controller they are going to be interested in different things that PS1 demo disc with the t Rex blew our primitive 16 bit brains back on launch but to kids today it's laughable.
The new gen of kids coming into to hobby seem to value different things to us there seems to be a huge focus on online play, streamers, gaming personalities, and social experiences, convience of digital downloads. To me I value none of that but that's ok like my parents not liking the band's I would listen to its just the natural cycle.

Gameseeker_Frampt37d ago

Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.

2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.

just_looken37d ago

It still amazes me we got over 7 rockstar games ps2/ps3 but 3 for the ps3/ps4/ps5

Dragon age 1-3 and mass effect 1-3 in 7ish years what a generation.
