Updated: Responding to questions about the Fallout 3 Survival Edition's worldwide availability, Bethesda marketing VP Pete Hines told Shacknews that Amazon will likely not be able to ship the bundle to customers outside of the United States.

"It's ultimately up to Amazon and where they will ship to from Amazon.com vs. Amazon.de or whatever localized URL folks would use," Hines said.

Original Story: Publisher Bethesda Softworks and retailer Amazon.com today revealed the Survival Edition of Fallout 3, an Amazon.com exclusive.

Along with all the goodies of the previously announced Collector's Edition--which will be available at retailers worldwide--the Survival Edition contains a life-size Pip-Boy 3000.

The Survival Edition sells for $120 on the PC and $130 on PS3 and Xbox 360, mirroring the price structure of the Collector's Edition--$70 on PC, $80 for consoles--and the standalone game itself, which goes for $50 on PC and $60 on consoles.

May 30, 2008 1:30pm CST tags: Fallout 3
A piece of concept art of a decimated Washington, D.C. from Bethesda Softworks post-apocalyptic RPG Fallout 3 (PC, PS3, 360) has been circulated through a handful of news publications, reported as terrorist propaganda after an intelligence contractor said the image was used in al Qaeda-related videos.

The artwork (pictured left) was released as part of Bethesda's early promotional campaigns for Fallout 3, which takes place in and around the Washington, D.C. area decades after a nuclear catastrophe. The image appeared on the Daily Mail's website under the headline "Al-Qaeda's terrifying vision of a devastated America in the wake of a nuclear attack."

"This is the apocalyptic scene terrorists hope to create if they ever get their hands on a nuclear bomb... posted on an Islamic extremists' website ... Read more

Following February's opening of a European publishing branch, Bethesda Softworks owner ZeniMax Media today announced the establishment of its Asian office.

It will also publish Japanese editions of games from other developers, including the PlayStation 2 and Xbox 360 versions of Rockstar's Bully and 2K Sports' Major League Baseball 2K8 on PS2, PS3, X360, and PSP.

Bethesda Says No Demo for Fallout 3

Apr 21, 2008 1:31pm CST tags: Fallout 3
Bethesda Softworks marketing VP Pete Hines revealed that no demo will be released for the studio's upcoming post-apocalyptic RPG Fallout 3, Eurogamer reports.

Hines said that a playable demo crafted around a portion of the game would prohibitively limit the experience, which is built around an open, explorable world.

"When you build it as one thing, there's no way to portion off a section and have it stand on its own without putting the whole game in the demo, which we're just not going to do," Hines said. "And it doesn't really capture the fun of a game like an Elder Scrolls or a Fallout, where you can go where you want and do what you want. So no demo, sorry."

Fallout 3 is slated to hit retailers this fall. For more on the title, be sure to check out our hands-on preview.

Fallout 3 Collector's Edition Confirmed for Worldwide, Non-exclusive Release

Apr 18, 2008 10:01am CST tags: Fallout 3
Bethesda Softworks today confirmed reports of the Fallout 3 Collector's Edition (PC, PS3, X360), announcing the package for a worldwide release at multiple retailers.

The Collector's Edition was originally revealed last week when it appeared in a listing at game retailer GameStop's website. Packaged in a special Vault-Tech Lunch Box, the Collector's Edition includes a Vault Boy Bobblehead, a hardcover art book and a making-of DVD, along with the game itself.

Unlike the recently announced limited edition version of Kojima Productions' Metal Gear Solid 4 (PS3), the Fallout 3 Collector's Edition will not be sold exclusively at GameStop.

While Bethesda's announcement did not include pricing information, GameStop's listing pinned the collector's edition at $79.99 on consoles and $69.99 on PC. The regular edition of the game is expected to sell for $20 less, making it $59.99 for consoles and $49.99 on PC.

Fallout 3 Preview

Bethesda took some time to show off the latest build of Fallout 3 this week, and former GameSpot senior editor Brad Shoemaker was there to catch every detail. In his extensive write-up, he covers the unique way players will be introduced to the world of Fallout 3, the canine sidekick they'll befriend later on, and the mushroom clouds they'll lay down to handle a mid-life ghoul crisis. Check it all out inside.
Flash forward to one year old, when the game will acquaint you with the walking controls by letting you toddle around your playpen. Here, you'll also notice your father's facial appearance has been derived from the same choices you made in the last scene. Approaching a whimsically illustrated baby book entitled "You're Special!," you'll flip from page to page, each showing one letter of Fallout's SPECIAL system (that is, strength, perception, endurance, charisma, intelligence, agility, and luck). This is how you assign your character's attributes. Read more..

Howard claims that the game itself is finished and has moved into the polish phase, but the team is adding several new elements to the game as they move forward.

"Being that we are Bethesda, everything gets a bit big, so as of last week we're over 200 endings. That's not an exaggeration," Howard said.

Small changes and additions to the ending, Howard explained, are multiplied by other factors influenced by the player's choices and decisions in the game, leading to over 200 possible ending combinations. Howard also clarified the game's... Read more
