Bethesda talks Fallout 4, DLC exclusivity photo

Fallout 3 is still a couple of months away, but that's not going to stop Bethesda's Peter Hines from keeping his mouth shut about the possibility of expanded the series further.

"We didn't buy the Fallout franchise to just do Fallout 3 and then stop," Peter says. "But let's get this one out of the door before we worry about the next one."

On downloadable content: "when I say exclusive I mean it is exclusive to just the Xbox 360 and PC. If you want to play the Fallout 3 downloadable content you will need to have an Xbox 360 or a PC."

So by exclusive, you mean "exclusive" and not "timed exclusive," right? Okay then. I'm glad we had this conversation. Anyone else think it's too early to be thinking about Fallout 4?

How much did Microsoft pay this time? $50 million? Ridiculous.

Let's just see how you guys did on 3 before you plan on making 4.....

Wasn't it agreed upon by 94% of the internet that the DLC was exclusive because MS tossed out some moola?

Are you guys really acting as though he's concerned with or planning out Fallout 4? He says in his quote that it's too early to focus on future games.

As far as DLC goes, I'm still waiting on some DLC that I really enjoy. I still don't think it's being done in a way that interests me.

HarassmentPanda: You mean in a way that isn't a blatant grab at your wallet after already paying for the game? :P

Can't say I'll be interested in Fallout 3 DLC, I won't even be buying the game until there are used copies available. Might turn out to be a decent game but Bethesda shouldn't have bought the Fallout license.

It is too early. I believe I read somewhere than the new Elder Scrolls was going to be done only after Bethesda was finished with Fallout 3.

Yeah, I'm not even interested in DLC at all anymore. I'll grab this for PS3 and be fine without their dog armor.

Well...money buys things. Lots of money buys exclusive DLC. DLC or not, I'm pretty excited for Fallout 3.

"shows how gay it is."

Yup, it's pretty gay. Just thinking about having exclusive stories on different consoles made me slightly attracted to the guy sitting next to me.

Or did it make me really happy -- elated even? I'm so confused.

Yeah, I think it's too early. However, so does Peter Hines. The "But let's get this one out of the door before we worry about the next one." quote sort of speaks for itself.

glad i preordered for the 360 just hope the DLC is more than "dog armor", I don't mind talk of fallout 4 but i'd rather they focus on making 3 as perfect as possible

I can't decide between the PC and PS3 version of this game. The PC version will be 10 dollars cheaper and have the DLC. Plus it will look better. OK I'm sold. PC it is.

This is stupid. Phrasing it as the DLC will be "exclusive to 360 and PC" is dumb. It's just "not coming to PS3."

I don't see why these companies like Valve and Bethesda even bother making a PS3 version if they hate the PS3 so much.

whatisdelicious: EA did the PS3 port of the Orange Box. And as a few other pointed out I'm sure M$ paid them to make some DLC for the 360/PC version of the game.

if this is anything like oblivion then who cares, seriously who the fuck 100%-ed oblivion and wanted more!?

@adultswim810: Hahah seriously. I didn't 100% Oblivion, but I bought the expansion, played for maybe 10 hours and got bored.

adultswim: Bethesda have gone from outright refuting suggestions that this is Oblivion with guns, to pretty much saying that is exactly what it is. If you don't want another Oblivion you're going to be disappointed :P

After seeing Oblivion go from exclusive to the 360 to being ported to the PS3 I think MS may have learned to just go for exclusive DLC instead of just the whole thing. In the end, most publishers will be eschewing exclusive titles for just one particular console and moving towards exclusive DLC. Whether MS paid for it or not is moot. Sony could've done the same. MS just doing what it takes to succeed and while some may not like it the tactic is not illegal and I'm thinking Bethesda is not about to turn away bags of cash.

damn Moneybags McMicrosoft strikes again. Then again i don't often purchase the extra content as i've usually moved onto the next game (Call of Duty being the only exception) so although i'm sure to get Fallout 3 the DLC factor doesn't interest me much

@aaronf PC version will look better provided you have a rig good enough to run it. Oh wait that would/did cost you far more than a PS3 so that 10$ you saved doesn't really mean that much.

@DemonEyes23: I don't know where this BS that PCs are expensive to build comes from. I bought a new motherboard, CPU, RAM, video card and hard drive all for less than a PS3. You can bitch that this doesn't cover the cost of the monitor, tower and power supply, but goddamn, if you've got a PC, you've got that crap already. I'm not lumping the cost of a 1080p HDTV to play the PS3 on to the cost of the PS3, am I?

And it will look and play better on the PC that I built for less than the cost of the PS3. And it will have more content, not only in the form of DLC, but in user created mods.

@DemonEyes23: I have a pretty good rig (Quad Xeon w/ 8GB RAM, GeForce 8800GT), so I am sure it will look great (Mass Effect looks awesome). I also have a PS3. You are right, saving the $10 doesn't really mean much, but it is a nice bonus to be able to play the superior version AND save $10.

Chibi_Zero: microsoft doesn't have to pay Valve to favor their platforms. Gabe Newell is a former microsoft guy and he loves their crap because he's never been outside the microsoft bubble.

Screw all this DLC anyway. I don't see that GTA4 DLC anywhere about and everyone I know who had it on 360 has already sold it anyway.

@RJG - Dude, that's pretty amazing. I want to build a rig like that, but all the graphics cards I keep running across cost more than half of a PS3, then getting a processor pushes it over the line, then I need to get memory and a motherboard.

I probably just want it to look too good - I guess I should just go for the bare minimums... and the cheapest parts. Who cares if I have to replace it, at least it runs right now for a few minutes. Just like my 360!

Is a game really "exclusive" if both the Xbox360 and PC get to have it? Doesn't that really mean "sold-out" or "whoring to Microsoft's will"?
