Fallout 3 Gets Definitive Release Date [Now With New Screens]

Fallout 3 Gets Definitive Release Date [Now With New Screens]
Written Wednesday, August 20, 2008 by Dan Webb

Bethesda today announced that their highly anticipated title, Fallout 3, will be available to purchase in North America on October 28th of this year and will see its European release date 3 days later on the 31st.

Fallout 3 has been close to a release date for sometime according to Pete Hines who spoke to us about it at the turn of the month. Confirmation will now give fans a definitive date to look forward to.

Fallout 3 is shaping up to be a fantastic title and we'll be seeing more of it again at Leipzig this week, so stay tuned to see some more coverage of the post apocalyptic RPG.

UPDATE: To accompany the announcement Bethesda have released a few screens... Awww, ain't they sweet.

Fallout 3 and Fable 2 in the same month? October seems to be RPG moth, and I'm not complaining - I can't wait to play Fallout 3!

Once again I have to wait 3 days longer!

Just great!
Why cant Europe get something decent early for once.

Great...

Brothers in Arms: Hells Highway, some time in September
Saints Row 2, October 14
Fable 2, October 21
Fallout 3, October 28
Gears of War 2, November 7

Call of Duty: World at War and Left 4 Dead still without solid release dates, but both expected in November.

...It's going to be two expensive months.

I think Dead Space is due on October 21, 2008 ... that will be an interesting month.

@9 Left 4 Dead is out same day as Gears which may prove to be a bad decision

October and November are looking very expensive months. We all know there's going to be half a dosen games come out in december as well to catch the christmas rush! I'd better get saving!

All I have to say is that the next couple months (Sept, Oct, Nov) are going to prove to be taxing on the wallet ... as if I actually have the money to get them all!

Personally I'd rather not crap myself at all... XD

But I might get this and maybe Gears. With the holidays coming up I'm expecting some gift cards to take care of some of these games for me.

@ 11, Medaking

Left 4 Dead is scheduled for Nov. 17th release according to many sites. Gears of War 2 will be Nov. 7 - so hopefully everyone who wants both can get them. They each seem like great games.

This is one of the "Big 4" i'm waiting on (RB2, GH:WT, Fable 2, Fallout 3). Seems like they're all coming out later than I thought they would be.

If anyone's got some ideas of what games I could play (either on the 360 or the pc) until they come out let me know.

Woo! Fallout 3! This looks like a sweet game. I didn't play the first two, but I'm juiced for this one.

i swear, didn't at E3 Bethesda announce a October 7th release date or did I just make that up in my own little fantasy world?

Comment #33 by StephenJ360
Wednesday, August 20, 2008 @ 11:50:01 PM

I love this year! Aside from Fallout 3's delay by a few weeks. I was hoping to have beaten it once at least before Fable 2's release.

"@9 Left 4 Dead is out same day as Gears which may prove to be a bad decision"

Well, I'd pick Left 4 Dead ten times over. It's a unique game while Gears is a standard sequel. I can wait for Gears. Left 4 Dead has better potential for online play. It's cool how online zombie players can "see" you if you do anything that makes audible or visual distractions. Bumping into things, using a flashlight, talking, running. Game's going to be phenomenal. Resident Evil Outbreak can shove it.

Thursday, August 21, 2008 @ 04:50:19 AM

see, the final release date is where its at, but at the same time, i wish it would be a little earlier in the month, because on the 31st im having a party and Dead Space comes out then..giving me 3 days to beat the game..fat chance.

still crazy about this game.
and @ #28, some games coming out soon depending on what kind of gamer you are, there are the sports games, viva 2 and banjo kazooie, and dead space.

This game is going to be so awesome. There are so many AAA titles coming out this year, it's ridiculous. I'm really excited about Fallout. This is a "Must Buy".

@#8: At least your getting it! All Australians are getting is a kick in the nuts (or vaginas).

Glad i'm not living in that country right now! XD

Expensive Oct/Nov... hell it's been an expensive and very great year.

Next week... Tales of Vesperia, Infinite Undiscovery, and Mercenaries 2, the week after that Viva Pinata 2, and Face Breaker, the week after that TNA, and I'll have to pick up one of the NHL's, then another huge week after that with Battle Fantasia, Rock Band 2, and Star Wars Force Unleashed.

Then we get to all the Late Sept/October/Nov games mentioned already... which didn't included GH: World Tour, Legendary, Lego Batman, Destory All Humans, and my two can't wait for titles Rise of the Argonauts, and Monopoly

Rise of the Argonauts (10/14), Fable 2 (10/21) and Fallout (10/28)... guess I'll only be working a week in Oct... maybe.

@ no.31.


So that's not the point, why cant Europe get something early and North America get something 3 days later? As once again I and many others will have to 3 days more.

Europe never gets fairly treated.

to #50: Well, you could have done like me and saved up money from working for these games. Hell, I saved up about half of what i made this summer just in case I decided to buy a lot of games this fall/winter. Part-time jobs ftw.

Downloadable content - achievements or no achievements - will you buy it with or without them?
If the content is good, or for a game I love, I'll buy it regardless of whether chievos are included
I'll still buy and play the downloadable content, but achievements would be nice.
Who the hell cares!?
No achievements, no sale ... and that goes for any game ... whether you're GTA or Halo!
Just stop with the DLC achievements full stop ... you're ruining my completion percentage dammit!
