Fallout new vegas news...

[lysiaboy]

Some DLC news which is interesting/bad.


apparently there might be up to 8 DLC's for new Vegas, which is awesome!!


on the other hand, the effective DLC manager for new vegas has said that there will be no gameplay beyond the ending (like broken steel in fallout 3), so we're always going to be stuck with the original ending.


YAY/BOO?

Wait, source? Don't remember hearing this.

 

[lysiaboy]

Source is Fallout wikia

And this is the part where you provide the link.

fallout wikia says 4 DLC's. http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Fallout:_New_Vegas_add-ons

Hope they do more, not so fussed about the end being the end, especially seeing each DLC has it's own mini ending (old wold blues being rather funny too!).

i think part of that 8 includes the pre-order 'dlc' like the caravan pack

 

[.No.]

I thought that The Lonesome Road was the last one.

This is most likely the case. I would enjoy more DLC, but the next one is most likely the last.

I admit, you got my hopes up there for a minute. Realistically, I think that the released DLC packs and Lonesome Road is just the right amount of new game content and side stories with independent narratives and a unique tone. They worked very well in this format, but I don't think they should milk the New Vegas engine more than necessary.

But I still tear up when I realize that (considering the legal slap-fight between Interplay and Bethesda) this could be the end of the series.

How would it be the end (I'm honestly curious)? I thought the only thing being disputed was the MMO version. And if a Fallout MMO never comes to life, that wouldn't stop Bethesda from making/publishing more single player games in the universe.

As I understand, Bethesda had bought rights to the Fallout IP on the condition that they could make three games (Fallout 3 and New Vegas makes 2) and Interplay had the rights to make the Fallout MMO. This was going fine until Bethesda claimed that Interplay was disregarding some of their established continuity, and demanded the rights to the MMO. Interplay then tried to counter-sue and get back the full rights to the Fallout IP. I can't see a bright future for the series unless Bethesda manages to win and outsources the next game to Obsidian again.

It is counting the four pre-orders. In the lucky 38 it displays the DLC snowglobs and there is only room for 4.

I thought they bought the IP outright. xD
In any case, if they can pull out a third game, I'll be happy.
