Don't look for a new Elder Scrolls game in the near future.

If you've been wondering what Betheseda would be up to after providing content for Fallout 3, developing Fallout: New Vegas, and publishing Wet, what executive director Todd Howard said at Quake Con 09 may give you some closure. Or make you very upset.

Howard took the time to enlighten the audience about Betheseda's "low a**hole quotient," and the development of Fallout 3. An interesting point that Howard revealed to the audience was that the final version of Fallout 3 was actually half of the game they had made. Which makes sense if you look at the DLC content and length.

The biggest news that Howard let out of the bag was that Betheseda are not working on a new Elder Scrolls game. His exact words being: "Don't look for a new Elder Scrolls game in the near future." He also said to expect Fallout: New Vegas next year.

What gives? Do the employees over at Betheseda ever sleep? Okay so the Fallout 3 DLC was probably the remnants of the whole game that they had finished. But considering that they are helping to publish and promote Wet, have Fallout: New Vegas in the slip stream and whatever else that the public doesn't know about, I'm wondering where they find time to practice their rapid eye movement?

DOOM, Fallout, Elder Scrolls, QUAKE and Wolfenstein have new owners as Bethesda buys id Software

fallout gameBrings together two of world's best game studios. Library of powerhouse franchises will include DOOM, Fallout, The Elder Scrolls, QUAKE, Wolfenstein and RAGE

ZeniMax Media Inc., parent company of noted game publisher Bethesda Softworks, today announced it has completed the acquisition of legendary game studio, id Software, creators of world-renowned games such as DOOM, QUAKE, Wolfenstein, and its upcoming title, RAGE.

The acquisition by ZeniMax Media joins together two of the finest, most respected videogame developers in the world, combining the first person shooter (FPS) expertise of id Software with acclaimed role playing game (RPG) developer Bethesda Game Studios – creators of the 2008 Game of the Year, Fallout 3, and the 2006 Game of the Year, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. Bethesda Softworks will publish the titles of id Software other than upcoming releases previously committed to other publishers.

Founded in 1991, id Software established itself as an industry leader with some of the best-selling and most critically acclaimed video games of all time. id Software created the original first-person shooter, Wolfenstein 3D, and subsequently set new standards in the genre with the blockbuster releases of its DOOM and QUAKE titles. In addition, id Software developed cutting edge, proprietary technology with the id Tech engine which powers many notable FPS titles, and continues to make great advances in game technology under the direction of John Carmack, one of the country’s technology leaders and a member of the Academy of Interactive Arts and Sciences (AIAS) Hall of Fame.

Todd Hollenshead, CEO of id Software, commented on the transaction: “This was a unique opportunity to team with a smart, sophisticated publisher like Bethesda Softworks where the interests of the studio and the publisher will be fully aligned in the development and marketing of our titles. In addition, we will now have financial and business resources to support the future growth of id Software, a huge advantage which will result in more and even better games for our fans.”

id Software will continue to operate as a studio under the direction of its founder, John Carmack. No changes will be made in the operations of id Software in the development of its games. All the principals at id Software have signed long-term employment contracts, assuring they will continue in their roles developing games at the studio.

“This puts id Software in a wonderful position going forward,” said John Carmack, who will continue to serve in his current role as Technical Director. “We will now be able to grow and extend all of our franchises under one roof, leveraging our capabilities across multiple teams while enabling forward looking research to be done in the service of all of them. We will be bigger and stronger, as we recruit the best talent to help us build the landmark games of the future. As trite as it may be for me to say that I am extremely pleased and excited about this deal, I am."

Robert Altman, the founder, Chairman & CEO of ZeniMax Media stated, “We, along with many others, consider id Software to be among the finest game studios in the world, with extraordinary design, artistic and technical capabilities. They have demonstrated, repeatedly, that rare ability to create franchise properties that are critical and commercial successes. Our intention is to make sure id Software will continue to do what they do best – make AAA games. Our role will be to provide publisher support through Bethesda Softworks and give id Software the resources it needs to grow and expand.”

ZeniMax Media Inc, which is privately held, was founded in 1999 to create quality interactive entertainment products to meet the growing worldwide demand. The Company is headquartered in Rockville, MD and maintains offices in Hunt Valley, MD, London and Tokyo. Among its wholly owned subsidiaries are Bethesda Softworks, a premier publisher of video games, Vir2L Studios which develops games for the casual market, and ZeniMax Online Studios, a studio dedicated to massively multi-player online games (MMOG).

Bethesda Game Studios, the development group at ZeniMax Media, is one of the top video game studios in the world. Its most recent release, Fallout 3, was the 2008 winner of more than 60 Game of the Year awards, including The Associated Press, Official Xbox Magazine, Yahoo, PC Gamer, IGN, Game Critics Awards, Game Developer Choice Awards, and Gamespy. Bethesda also created the 2006 PC and Xbox 360 Game of the Year, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, and the 2002 PC and Xbox Game of the Year, The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind. Bethesda Game Studios has created 2 of the 10 best games of all time, Fallout 3 and Oblivion, on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 platforms, as reported by the industry scoring system found at www.metacritic.com and www.gamerankings.com.

Fallout coming to TV and movies? Bethesda take out trademarks...

Two trademarks filings spotted by Dwell On It show Bethesda Softworks has recently filed trademarks for Fallout covering use in television and movies, via Joystiq.
The trademarks, filed February 5 by the Fallout 3 developer and property owner, cover the Fallout name in relation to "Entertainment services in the nature of an on-going television program" and "motion picture films about a post-nuclear apocalyptic world."

Bethesda appears to be tying up the Fallout property's loose ends for grand future plans, including planning to pull the plug on Interplay's Fallout MMO.

Whether anything will come of these trademarks remains to be seen but the prospect of a Fallout movie is enticing--even if, given the track record of video game movies, it would end up set in 2009 New York City, where hero Pip Vaulta must disarm a dirty bomb.

Fallout 3 The Pitt Download (DLC) out now - with video


Fallout 3's second downloadable content pack, The Pitt, is now available for purchase on Xbox Live for 800 Microsoft Points (£6.80).

So says Microsoft's blurb: "Pittsburgh was once the industrial center of the pre-war world. The city was spared the horrors of nuclear fire, only to have its people infected by a nightmare plague of disease, infection, and mutation.

"Travel to the ruins of this industrial city, now called The Pitt, and discover a secret that could send shockwaves through the entire Wasteland. Battle vicious mutated Trogs, employ deadly new weapons like the AutoAxe and Infiltrator silenced assault rifle, and decide the fate of the infected slaves and slavers that call this city home. Only you can find the cure - but will you have the guts to use it?"

Bethesda's next DLC pack, Broken Steel, is due out within the next few months.

Fallout 3 - A Complete Intro To Survival


In the Beginning: Back in Vault 101
Here is your best chance at making it quickly through the game on multiple settings. Start a character, and go through life normally, until you reach the cave just after exiting the vault. Save. Now you have a file that can be changed over and over and made into new characters.


When you decide to leave the vault, you will be able to change everything: your looks, your name, your sex, your skills, your tags, your stats. The only thing you can’t change is your Karma you gained/lost in the vault, and how you leave the vault. You can create several other files that have a different karma or status of Vault 101, since you may be returning to the vault on these files. Once you have created this save file, you may pick and determine your character any way you like.Stylized 


Fighting: A Ninja’s Guide to Zen
So, how do you create the ultimate character? Well, this can be answered in a multitude of ways. The best way to start: how do you play your games? Running and gunning without using VATS can be great for those who play Call of Duty all day, but what about the ones who have no ability in shooters? Well, your problem can be easily solved with words, or even having someone do it for you. Your style is the basis to your character. When you start off, start by picking: Fight or Talk. If you choose Fight, your stats (SPECIAL) should look something like the following:

7, 7, 7, 3, 4, 6, 6

If you choose to talk, your stats should look something like this:

7, 6, 5, 7, 6, 6, 3

If you notice, there is a pattern between them. Both characters have a developed Strength, Perception and Endurance. The last 4 stats are modified based on where you fight. A talker will more like need to outrun his foes and be adept in computers and people, while one who fights can give up talking and computer know-how to compensate on gun use. Note, these aren’t exactly what you should put, but always keep that in mind. Refer to “You’re SPECIAL: Skill Modifiers” for more info on how to specifically tackle your designated character.


Primary Trigger: Meet Primary Skill
Now that you have gotten your SPECIAL in order, it time to tackle skills. This system is the most involved system, and it has a lot to focus on. Not only are you trying to spread points out evenly so you can be good at everything, but you don’t get a whole lot to start with. On top of that, you get 3 (a fourth can be added later on) tag skills, which will give you an immediate boost in that skill. This option is the greatest advantage, so don’t waste it. Begin by deciding, will I be going out and collecting every book and bobblehead available to me? Or will I find them as I go and pick them up. Well, if you plan on collecting every single book and bobblehead available to you, then you may want to start with deciding to hold on to these books. You’re first decision is to avoid going past 50 points in all skills. If you collect the books and save them for when you have the Comprehension perk, you will gain 2 points, which overall means 50 points added. Unfortunately, you can’t go beyond 100 points, so there is no point in wasting points. If you also plan on collecting the bobbleheads, you can avoid getting your skills above 40, as each bobble head will add 10 points immediately.

If your route of choice does not involve painstakingly collecting everything, then avoid the Comprehension, and allow yourself to follow this guide. To continue our journey, we must first determine our tag skills. These skills will be our main focus for the first 5 to 6 levels, and then we will shift to our secondary skills. To begin, we’ll discuss proper Primary Skills.

There are a total of 6 skills that are considered Primary Skills. Your primary skill is the skill you will use primarily in for killing your enemies. For first timers, the two best options are Small Guns and Melee Weapons. Small guns is very useful because ammo is very plentiful, and there are no real disadvantages to having a pistol versus a bat. The Melee skill is great as well because you can sell off your ammo for stimpaks, although you do need to get close to enemies in order to defeat them. Either way, your primary skill should always be one of the two. With a primary skill chosen, make sure you have tagged it, and for the next 3 to 4 levels, you are giving it 75-90% of your points away to it.
Tag Teaming: Coordinate your Secondary Skill
Once your primary skill is chosen, your secondary skill must almost oppose your primary. The reason? Have Melee and Unarmed as a primary and secondary aren’t effective, because both require the same weapons. Using explosives and big guns means you aren’t able to fight in enclosed spaces. Pairing these two skills together is like pairing up a backup plan. If you run out of bullets, you can rely on your mines, or go fighting with your brass knuckles. If you can’t fight an enemy with your Mini-Gun, then pull out that plasma rifle and disintegrate them! You must always have a fallback. Here are a couple of extremely use tactics:

Small Guns + Explosives: Out of ammo? Back up and leave mines behind so your enemies can’t watch you turn into swiss cheese.
Sneak + Melee/Unarmed:  Can’t seem to run up and smack the poor fools? Try stealthing to them and pull out a sneak bonus hit!
Unarmed + Energy Weapons: Once you’ve gained a couple of Energy Weapons, that laser pistol looks much better than the hands.
??? + Big Guns: Ok, so that Fat Man doesn’t fit in the hallway…maybe something else?

Remember, these are good combos, but don’t forget to test out different strategies. You may like big guns, but your Rock-It Launcher doesn’t just appear!

Your Ordnance: Uh-oh! It Broke!
What’s the third tag skill? Well, what else. If it breaks, you buy a new one. So try to hold on to that repair skill, and put it to use when you have 5 of those pistols lying around your bag. This will save you in the long run. You won’t need to run back to Moira to repair your silly laser pistol for an extremely high price when you can find one to repair it with. Those saved caps can net your other prizes: like bullets.
Specialty: Skills for Life
Now that your three tag skills have been chosen, what about the rest of the skills? Well, once you’ve bulked up on your three skills, the rest of your allocated points (remember, I said 75-90%, not ALL!) can go to a couple of skills. Because Lockpick and Science won’t matter unless you have hit 25/50/75/100, it’s best to raise these in bursts. Once you have hit level 6 or 7, you may decrease your points spent on your tag skills, and start getting your special skills raised. The two skills to focus on: Lockpick and Science. These can net you anything from loot to turning turrets on enemies. The least likely skill to look into is your Barter. Now, barter can be usefull if you’re trying to save yourself some caps, but don’t forget, anything sold in a shop is easily located in the Wasteland. You can also loot a lair or vault, and sell them to vendors. There, cap problem solved.
Modifying What’s There: Changing for the Better
You will encounter three types of situations, and there are clothes for every situation. Don’t think for a second that the clothes was just there so your character can look pretty. Dressing in the proper attire can affect your abilities as if you were drugged. You should carry three separate outfits, if possible. Carry one to help you achieve repairs, and do special tasks that require lockpicking and science. One to help you ward off enemies (this is your most common attire), and one to help you speak to civilians. This will help you achieve the three focuses of the game. Anything else can be discarded or sold to the highest bidder. Make sure you are keeping track of what clothes you own, and repairing them as necessary.

Well, this completes the Class 100 series. You have learned all you can about making for a better character. The next class series, Class 200, is all about advancing in society. I will be giving shortened guides through the Wasteland, and showing you your Miscellaneous Quests you will encounter, as well as giving you tips on the best side to end with, and your rewards. These quests (for XB360 owners) are the ones found for the achievements. I will not be going through the Main Quest, as this should be completed on your own (and to avoid spoilers).

Download Fallout 3 content Creation Kit comes first

fallout 3 video game
Editor to be Available in December; Downloadable Content coming for January, February, and March

Plans to make both its editor and downloadable content available for its award-winning game, Fallout 3 in the coming weeks. The official editor for Fallout 3, called the G.E.C.K. (Garden of Eden Creation Kit), will be available for free download in December and will allow Games for Windows users to create and add their own content to the game. In addition, the first official downloadable content, Operation: Anchorage, will be available exclusively for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and Games for Windows in January, and more downloadable content coming in February and March.
“We’ve always seen the original world of Fallout 3 as a foundation for even more content. Some created by us, and a lot more created by users,” said Todd Howard, game director for Fallout 3. “It’s fun to create your own character, but it can be equally fun to create your own adventures. We can’t wait to see what the community does with the G.E.C.K.”
The release of the G.E.C.K. provides the community with tools that will allow players to expand the game any way they wish. Users can create, modify, and edit any data for use with Fallout 3, from building landscapes, towns, and locations to writing dialogue, creating characters, weapons, creatures, and more.

fallout 3

Three downloadable content packs will be coming to Xbox 360 and Games for Windows Live starting in January that will add new quests, items, and content to Fallout 3.
• Operation: Anchorage. Enter a military simulation and fight in one of the greatest battles of the Fallout universe – the liberation of Anchorage, Alaska from its Chinese Communist invaders. An action-packed battle scheduled for release in January.

• The Pitt. Journey to the industrial raider town called The Pitt, located in the remains of Pittsburgh. Choose your side. Scheduled for release in February.

• Broken Steel. Join the ranks of the Brotherhood of Steel and rid the Capital Wasteland of the Enclave remnants once and for all. Continues the adventure past the main quest. Scheduled for release in March.

Released on October 28 in North America and in Europe October 30, Fallout 3 has been hailed as one of the most anticipated games of 2008, and received a 10 out of 10 review score from Official Xbox Magazine, a result then repeated around the world with perfect scores by some of the industry’s most influential and respected critics including: Gamespy, GamePro, UGO, the Associated Press, MSN, The Washington Post, Guardian, FHM, G4-TV, The Toronto Star, and Eurogamer. MSNBC’s review offered the observation that it viewed “Fallout as a no-brainer for game of the year.” The Daily Star in the UK echoed that conclusion, saying “You can hold all bets on game of the year – I think we have a winner.”

Fallout 3 features one of the most realized game worlds ever created. Set more than 200 years following a nuclear war, you can create any kind of character you want and explore the open wastes of Washington, D.C. however you choose. Every minute is a fight for survival as you encounter Super Mutants, Ghouls, Raiders, and other dangers of the Wasteland.
