Fallout 3 News, Tips, Tricks & Ideas

After the resounding success of the Fallout TV series on Amazon Prime Video, the video game series on which the show is based has seen renewed interest across all platforms. Fallout 4 and Fallout 76 have become one of the most played games on Steam. Bethesda said last week that Fallout games had attracted close to five million players in a single day. In a new interview, studio director Todd Howard hinted at two unannounced Fallout projects, without detailing what they could be.

A Fallout 3 player recently noted that in the Japanese version of the game, the Cannibal perk is renamed «Mystic Power» and features a distinct description. This discovery has sparked discussions within theFallout 3 community, resulting in various explanations being put forward.

Amazon has revealed its slate of free Prime Gaming games for May 2024. This month's freebies available to Amazon Prime subscribers include Fallout 3 and eight other titles.

One Fallout 3 player recently had one of the game's most powerful weapons turned against them by one of the biggest bad guys the game has to offer. While mini nukes launched by a Fat Man have enough stopping power to take down almost anything Fallout 3 can throw at a player, one Super Mutant Behemoth managed to somehow avoid nuclear annihilation.

Amazon has subscribed Prime members with free access to some of the most critically acclaimed and universally beloved Fallout games ever made, including Fallout: New Vegas. However, the offer comes with a catch in that it's tied to the company's cloud gaming service, meaning only Fallout fans from a select few countries will get to take advantage of it.

The yet-to-be-announced Fallout 3 and The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion remasters are going to be Xbox exclusive releases, according to rumors circulating online.

The court documents from Microsoft’s FTC case are the gift that just keeps giving, although in this instance it seems someone released a document they should have not, as it’s been removed the US courts website.

A number of Bethesda games were revealed to be in the works in the pages of Microsoft's recently leaked documents. Among those leaked projects include unannounced titles like Dishonored 3 and a remaster of Fallout 3. 

The court documents from Microsoft’s FTC case are the gift that just keeps giving, although in this instance it seems someone released a document they should have not, as it’s been removed the US courts website.

According to leaked documents, Microsoft are/were remastering Oblivion and Fallout 3. This is boring. The past decade of innumerable remasters has been boring enough, but remastering these two games is particularly boring. When even bother when all Bethesda have made since Oblivion is Oblivion remakes with added spacesuits or yelling? Boring. But while I think the torrent of remasters is a miserable sign of big publishers just giving up, if they're going to do it anyway: why not Morrowind?

In what may be one of the most notable bombshells of the year, documents from the US Federal Trade Commission’s case with Microsoft seem to have leaked Zenimax Media’s upcoming game release schedule. Notable examples include Fallout 3 remastered, TES 4: Oblivion remastered, and Dishonored 3.

In what may be one of the most notable bombshells of the year, the US Federal Trade Authority appears to have accidentally leaked Zenimax Media’s mind-bogglingly comprehensive game release schedule. Notable examples include Fallout 3 remastered, TES 4: Oblivion remastered, and Dishonored 3! Though it harkens back to 2020, and is obviously outdated in today’s terms, the schedule has directed a floodlight upon some of Microsoft’s most notable (potential) future releases. This document was just released as part of the wrap-up following the FTC’s legal battle with Microsoft, and it was originally sourced during Microsoft’s acquisition of Zenimax Media.

Microsoft and Xbox representatives appeared in court earlier this year to get its $69 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard legally greenlit. Per usual court proceedings, various emails, documents, and more were sealed away from the public and press, but many unseen documents leaked this morning. It's how we learned Xbox head Phil Spencer considered acquiring Nintendo and Warner Bros. Games at one point, and that Microsoft is planning an Xbox Series X/S refresh with a new controller for next year. Other documents point to potential remasters of Fallout 3 and The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, alongside other games. 

Overnight on September 19, a huge Microsoft and Bethesda leak sprang from the Xbox FTC court documents. Information about new console plans, upcoming Xbox Series X games, and the company's reaction to defining industry events has emerged thanks to improperly-redacted court documents, giving a fascinating insight into one of gaming's biggest players, as well as details about a whole suite of new developments.

A number of unannounced Bethesda and ZeniMax games have leaked from an internal document publicly shared as part of the ongoing Microsoft and FTC case around the Activision Blizzard acquisition. New iterations for some of the best PC games ever – including Doom, Dishonored, and Ghostwire Tokyo – appear to be in the works, alongside both an Oblivion and Fallout 3 remaster.

What does the future hold for ZeniMax and Bethesda? A sizeable helping of the same, if a 2020-dated release schedule leaked as part of today's accidental FTC Microsoft court document blowout is to be believed. The document is from a July 2020 Microsoft presentation about the acquisition of ZeniMax, during the early months of the Covid pandemic - as such, it doesn't reflect Microsoft and ZeniMax's plans today, following global lockdowns and the buyout, and several of the dates are obviously bogus. Still, it's probably a good steer as to current and future Bethesda and ZeniMax projects, which may include Dishonored 3 and remasters of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion and Fallout 3.
