Bethesda announces 360-exclusive New Vegas DLC

Bethesda’s just announced details on 360-exclusive DLC for Fallout: New Vegas.
No details on the DLC itself were given, but the press release said the “first downloadable content” would be exclusive to Xbox Live this holiday season, which seems to imply more would be coming to other consoles as well.
Info on the content will be “released in the coming weeks.”
“We’re excited to continue the partnership between Bethesda and Microsoft, and build on the success of the game add-ons released for Fallout 3 on Xbox LIVE,” said Bethesda’s US PR boss Pete Hines.
“We have no doubt that gamers will be thrilled with seeing a new add-on pack extend their adventures with Fallout: New Vegas on Xbox 360 and Xbox LIVE,” added Microsoft GM product manager for IEB, Matt Barlow.
The rage
Today’s news brings up memories of Bethesda announcing at Microsoft’s E3 press conference exclusive DLC for Xbox 360 and Games for Windows for Fallout 3 in 2008, with PS3 not getting a look-in.
It was announced then last May that the three previously-released packs of DLC – Operation Anchorage, The Pitt and Broken Steel – would finally come to PS3, as would two new DLC episodes: Point Lookout and Mothership Zeta.
Fallout: New Vegas producer Chris Avellone first confirmed DLC plans for the Obsidian RPG back in April.
“Bethesda has plans, but we don’t know the actual facts of them yet, so it’s pretty much premature to say anything,” he told VG247 back at a European pre-E3 Bethesda event in France back in April.
Fallout: New Vegas releases tomorrow in the US and on Friday in the UK for PS3, 360 and PC.
Bethesda couldn’t confirm to VG247 more details about the DLC other then what was on the press release.

Finished fallout 3 (PS3) didn’t come across any bugs. It was a good game but, like spider said not god-like. I’ll probably pick up GOTY version if I can be botherd in a years time.
IMO what is the point in supporting PS3 and then doing stuff like this when they know ps3 owners will be pi**ed.
Just make it exclusive then!!

Haha! I think it’s funny how alot of you are assuming this is going to get a GOTY award. I would be very surprised if Obsidian are capable of getting this to GOTY status.

@53 I never said this wouldn’t get an Ultimate Edition, because it probably will, I just said I don’t think Obsidian are capable of making this game a GOTY winner.

Well isn’t that a kick in the pants, too bad I already paid for it via Steam. Don’t think I can get my money back…

@54 – oh right, well semantics i guess
besides it could get a goty award in sound for all we know and then they can slap goty on the box somewhere -_-

GOTY editions are not all GOTY award winners. Like AHA said, could win for sound. Could win GOTY for something stupid like best robotic/unrealistic animation on some random awards site nobody has ever heard of and it will then get a GOTY edition.
@55 Since it isnt out yet, and you havent downloaded it, cant you cancel your order and get your money back? If not, why even bother buying on steam before a game comes out?

Yes its been preloaded. I did it because I had the money to do so and I wanted the preorder stuff. I enjoyed Fallout series, maybe not the 3rd as much as the previous ones but this is being made by the same team that did the first two so I bought it.

I prepaid on Steam for it, just because I want the best graphics for a single player game I can get. Personally I dont’ care about DLC because by the time I’m done with the first play through, there will be something else I want to play. After I beat FO3, I never had a desire to go back through and play again. In fact, there are only 2 single player games I beat multiple times. (Infamous & uncharted). I’m one and done

i just checked how much the collectors edition of fallout 3 was, to compare it to new vegas’s. (console)
New Vegas £69.99
Fallout 3 £49.99
Fallout 3 has the better collectors edition and was £20 cheaper, for shame.

@51 I want your copy of fallout then mate. Play the GOTY on ps3 still & it freezes maybe once every hour or two. Love the whole fallout universe, but will wait for the GOTY/ultimate edition of New Vegas.

The only real bug I recall in FO3 PC was that sometimes when a body exploded the bits and pieces would hang there scattered in the air.
Also, think it was FO3 where if you killed some guys in an area, left and came back it’d be like they just died, like the body would re-drop and you’d hear the splat effects. That was pretty lazy.

Tomorrow but Bathesda didn’t send the review builds out until today at least that’s what Gametrailers, IGN and Gamespot said. IGN said it will be later this week.

when microsoft gets an exclusive it comes out cheaper for ps3 later. anyone excited for some bethesda trash is a moron anyhow, considering you need the pc version and an army of modders to fix there broken games.
@Kuwabara 66 between halo and the weed these faggots won’t know the difference. if i could only convince one of them to buy my xbox to replace there rrod… too bad they spend all there money on weed, halo map packs and masturbation devices.

@65 Only a kid can get this excited over timed exclusive o_O I’m glad this was announced before release, made the decision to wait for a GOTY a lot easier. Plus the Obsidian have said that once you complete the main quest its game over, just like in Fallout 3. I’m willing to bet they’ll be some more dlc later that expands the storyline, like Brotherhood of Steel did.
