Bethesda Announces New Fallout Game For 2010

Posted by Soulskill on from the back-for-more dept.

On Monday Bethesda announced a new title in the popular Fallout series called New Vegas, set for release sometime in 2010. It's planned for the PC, Xbox 360, and PS3. They said it wasn't a sequel to the highly-acclaimed Fallout 3, but rather a brand new game set in the same universe, though they confirmed that it will be similar in style to Fallout 3. The new game will be developed by Obsidian Entertainment, a studio containing members of the original Fallout team, which Bethesda's Pete Hines discussed in an interview with Shacknews. The Fallout series also made headlines earlier this week when Bethesda trademarked the name for TV and film.

    As long as they remove the level cap.

      Good luck winning over the PS3 owners after shafting them with the "exclusive" 360 and PC downloadable content. Yeah, I want to go out and pay the same amount for a Bethesda game as another player, and then get less for my money.

      Screw em.

      In addition, if you want the DLC you'll have to subscribe to Xbox Live which is around $50 a year

      You can purchase DLC with a free Xbox Live Silver account. Most people won't need WiFi for a system that's sitting in the same place all the time, and to my knowledge the PS3 lacks the 360's streaming movie service.

    This is sort of the inherent problem.

    A clever evil person takes nearly everything someone has, but leaves them enough to survive so they can make more stuff for them to take later.

    In video games, evil basically translates to "killing everything I see for the pure psychopathic joy of it. There's almost never any real quality evil going on anymore, you either raze the village to the ground, or you save it from danger. There's no depth.
