Microsoft has given Fallout 3 the honor of being the first title to offer DLC on Games for Windows LIVE Marketplace. In case you missed the initial announcement, Games for Windows LIVE Marketplace is exactly what it sounds like… an Xbox LIVE Marketplace for the PC. It will even allow you to use your 360 controller hooked up to your gaming rig.
According to Videogamer.com, Bethesda Softworks’ Pete Hines, vice president of public relations and marketing, had this to say about Games for Windows:
“Games for Windows LIVE helps us expand the Fallout 3 universe and bring the full experience directly to gamers. Through the Marketplace we now have a no-nonsense way to deliver updates and great downloadable content. It’s really a complete package, and a great fit for Fallout 3.”
Other Games for Windows friendly titles are Battlestations: Pacific, Grand Theft Auto IV, Quantum of Solace, Red Faction: Guerrilla and Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II.
” Through the Marketplace we now have a no-nonsense way to deliver updates and great downloadable content. ” uuhhhh since its through a computer what about just releasing downloadable content through the website like all other companies websites? lol It sounds like to me that they Finally figured out a way to release content to pc users and created the windows marketplace
great let the pay dlc began if it a expansion but if it just like 3 maps for a game like battle stations uhh
@Zaruka: I think that’s less likely to happen based on Bethesda’s track record – look at Oblivion. Aside from the initial fumble with the Horse Armor junk most of the other DLC for that game included new areas and new quests.. which I’m all for when it comes to Fallout 3.
yea that maybe true but i was kind of point out like how some games on xbox is just 2 maps for 800 points at lease bungie realse the maps free after a while.
