Bethesda decides to show PS3 owners some DLC love and confirms two new packs heading to all formats...
The decision to opt for exclusive DLC is rapidly becoming this generation's battleaxe for fanboys to grind. Bethesda's decision to cosy up with Microsoft and release Fallout 3 DLC exclusively on Xbox 360 and PC drew such a line for format fanboys to bicker over, but it seems such ranting was ultimately pointless with today's confirmation that the content will finally be making its way to the PlayStation3.
Bethesda assures us they've been working on the implementation for a while, with an impending title update providing the ability to download Operation: Anchorage in June via the PlayStation Store. The Pitt and Broken Steel will follow afterwards with a gap of 4-6 weeks between each. No word yet on pricing details.
However that's not all. Removing the end game condition with the release of Broken Steel seems to be the catalyst for lots more Fallout action from Bethesda, with the announcement of two new DLC packs heading to Xbox 360, PlayStation3 and PC later in the year.
Point Lookout will appear in late June and adds a massive new swampland area to explore, teaming with new quests and content. Mothership Zeta challenges you to escape from an alien abduction to see whether you're tough enough to survive and presumably escape any painful examinations. Early information suggests the aliens are pissed off about something; perhaps they're coming to investigate the alien crash site?
Both Point Lookout and Mothership Zeta will launch on Xbox 360 (800 Microsoft Points) and PC first, followed on the PlayStation3 after the release of the three original packs.
And if that's not enough Fallout 3 news for you, then we can also confirm Bethesda's plans to release the downloadable content in disc form at retailers. Add-On Pack #1 contains The Pitt and Operation: Anchorage and will be released on June 12th; Add-On Pack #2 due for release in August includes Broken Steel and Point Lookout. The Add-On packs will only be released for Xbox 360 and PC.
Finally, Fallout 3 will be getting the Game of the Year treatment, containing the original game and all five DLC packs in October for Xbox 360, PlayStation3 and PC.

i hope fallout 4 is running off a stable skyrim engine and follows the story from fallout 3 right after you defeated the enclave only this time your in a different city, i know its been overused but new york state would be a perfect location to continue the story plus i miss the metro tunnels so new york is an ideal location.

The Bethesda studio that developed Morrowind, Oblivion, Skyrim, and Fallout 3 previously never worked on any of those projects simultaneously - there's no reason to assume they'd start doing that now.

i would have though the next fallout game would run off the skyrim engine just like fallout 3 running off the oblivion engine, 3 years is an unrealistic time scale 1 or 2 years is more realistic as for all we know fallout 4 could have been in development alongside skyrim but kept hidden which would have been very easy given the scale of intrest in skyrim up untill launch (lol now you can breathe, my grammer is poor i know.).

@Post 138: I guess it's possible that Bethesda could have decided to farm out the next Fallout to another developer again, as they did with Obsidian on New Vegas. If so, it's possible the next Fallout could arrive within the next year or two I guess.
If Bethesda Softworks are planning on making Fallout 4 next though, then it'll be a good three years at least before it's released. The gap between Fallout 3 and Skyrim was three years, and there's the added complication of next-gen consoles to factor-in this time.

Well since Skyrim finally came out, fallout 4 should be the next project bethesda is working on, plus since new vegas came out a while back it's gotta be about time for a new one, any idea what city is the lucky one to be laid waste too?

@Post 136: You may have to make do with New Vegas to be honest as it could be a long wait for the next Fallout from Bethesda Softworks - the studio only just finished work on Skyrim after all...
