By throwing off the limitations of the 10-year-old PS3 and Xbox 360, Bethesda is free to design with the extra horsepower. Technology moves on, and developers do not like being limited by relatively ancient hardware. Many of the big AAA titles have been released on both generations of hardware, with Destiny and Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare being prime examples. The transition to the current generation of consoles has been kinder to gamers. The PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 were such giant leaps forward in power that it was nearly impossible for a game to launch on both consoles and retain feature and gameplay parity. The transition to the current generation of consoles is something of an oddity in the industry. That grace period will likely be officially over after E3 2015, as the video game industry shows what is possible when the current-gen only consoles are the targets. It is simply the confirmation that the grace period of cross generation games for gamers who have yet to adopt the latest consoles is swiftly coming to a close. Cross generational games have been straining against the decade-old hardware for the last two years, making the lack of a last-gen version of Fallout 4 not really a surprise. To date, Fallout 3 has shipped over 750,000 units in the UK, and 2 million across the entire European region.Fallout 4 on the Xbox 360 and PS3 will not be happening, according to Bethesda's global community manager. Both offerings are for 360 or PC only.įallout 3 Game of the Year will be available in October for all three formats, and include the game and all five add-ons for GBP 39.99 / EUR 59.99. Pack 2 will follow in August bundling Broken Steel and Point Lookout. In addition, Bethesda will also release three new boxed products for retail this year, beginning with Fallout 3 Game Add-on Pack 1 which includes The Pitt and Operation: Anchorage for Xbox 360 and PC on June 12. An update for PS3 users to download and play the content will also be released in time for June. The first batch of DLC for the PS3 will be Operation: Anchorage in June, with The Pitt and Broken Steel to follow 4-6 weeks apart, although release dates have not yet been set. The Microsoft releases will cost 800 points. Two new downloadable episodes for Fallout 3 Point Lookout and Mothership Zeta will be released for Xbox 360 and PC in June and July, respectively, with releases via Sony's PSN at a later date. Bethesda has finally confirmed downloadable content for the PlayStation 3 version of Fallout 3, as well as two brand new PS3, Xbox 360 and PC episodes for the best-selling title.
