As if there was any doubt, Bethesda Softworks reveals plans to support Fallout: New Vegas with downloadable game add-ons, with an Xbox 360 exclusive pack coming out first. Hopefully they'll work this time.
Having released several downloadable add-ons for Fallout 3, it comes as no surprise that Bethesda has big plans for Fallout: New Vegas post-launch content. The cavalcade of downloadable goodness kicks off exclusively on the Xbox 360 sometime after the game's launch tomorrow.
"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 Pete Hines, VP of Marketing and PR of Bethesda Softworks. "Fans will once again be able to continue their experience in the Fallout universe with the add-on packs planned for after the launch of the game."
Hopefully these new add-ons will be released in working order, unlike some Fallout 3 add-on packs we could mention.
Specifics on the upcoming add-ons will be released at a later date.
DISCUSSION
To be honest i'm not really bothered. The price/hour of DLC compared to the base game is always much much higher for the DLC than the base game. By massive massive amounts. I've never actually played any of the Fallout 3 DLC and I was happy enough with the game and played it many times.
I have F:NV pre-ordered for the PC and i'm not at all bothered about this news. The PC version gets mods, the Xbox gets DLC.
It'll be a timed exclusive anyway.
(PS Microsoft are ruining the game industry. They really need to stop doing this.)
