Bethesda drops Point Lookout trailer, screens

by Justin McElroy { Jun 2nd 2009 at 5:15PM }

We know we might be be approaching Point Lookout overkill here, but we didn't want that to keep you from missing out on the video and screens that Bethesda just dropped for Fallout 3's creepy visit to a Deliverance-esque port town.

OK, now we're going to go take the time to write up some more about what we saw. Well, we're going to find the time. Somewhere. Hey, why are you laughing at us, we will!

Hook it straight into my veins.

Matt @ Jun 2nd 2009 5:19PM

I want to go to there

drewjanderson2 @ Jun 2nd 2009 5:20PM

looks more like a redneck horror movie then fallout 3, but still amazing.

Boff @ Jun 2nd 2009 5:41PM

"Ah'll make you squeal like a pig, city boy!"

Cj @ Jun 2nd 2009 5:20PM

Mutated hill billies!

Petethatmeat @ Jun 2nd 2009 5:22PM

I was looking for an ending of "We don't like your kind around here"...

squeehunter @ Jun 2nd 2009 5:23PM

Looks nice and I'm glad to see some foliage but I think that some of those wooden structures should have been a little more run down after 200 years.

James @ Jun 2nd 2009 5:26PM

Wait, wow.... MORE Fallout DLC??? This is Amazing!! Seriously I wasn't expecting this, every big game that has come out the developers have said "lots of dlc is planned and on the way". Bethesda has been the ONLY company to give quality DLC, and at regular intervals too. One other exception being GTA IV, I did think Lost & the Damned was well done. But I've been dissapointed with Fable's dlc, Mass Effect, etc.

Popfrogs @ Jun 2nd 2009 7:48PM

If by quality you mean late and broken, they sure have delivered.

James @ Jun 2nd 2009 8:04PM

So, let me get this straight, you disagree with my post because you think Mass Effect and Fable had more (quantity) and better (quality) dlc??

Granted, a few of the Fallout dlc's have been a little buggy at the time they were available for download, but ONLY FOR A DAY.

You're like the guy who doesn't have health insurance, and you go in for a FREE clinic visit, and you complain about the long wait time....

Give me a DLC that you liked, and I might be less inclined to think you're as stupid as you sound.

Asg @ Jun 2nd 2009 5:28PM

is there a reason this is tagged as just xbox when it is coming to ps3 also?

waynski1457 @ Jun 2nd 2009 5:30PM

Maybe this one's still timed exclusive?

Cash @ Jun 2nd 2009 5:35PM

Didn't seen the Sony or PS3 logo at the end of the clip. only Games for Windows and Xbox 360.

Asg @ Jun 2nd 2009 5:40PM

Oh i'm sorry Cash I thought you might read joystiq. such as this article "http://www.joystiq.com/2009/05/19/fallout-3-dlc-coming-to-ps3-beginning-late-june-two-new-multipl/"

Which says

In addition, two new DLC packs have been announced and will be heading to both platforms. Point Lookout, as revealed by retailers earlier this month, will feature a massive swampland area to explore and in Mothership Zeta you'll suffer through an alien abduction. These packs will be available on Xbox 360 and PC starting late June and on PS3 once the first three have been released.

I'm still craving for some type of prison content where he either gets captured by the remnant of the Enclave and stashed in some prison, tortured, and what not (the initial campaigns energy cell idea was interesting, until I got shot through it which was stupid writing on the editors part as they wouldn't just kill you, especially if you were a pure Human and they thought you useful which they would after all you did to get there) or perhaps by a different faction or group... made as a slave maybe... that'd be interesting having a collar placed on the PC him/herself... perhaps left in a location to rot due to being too much of a problem, or shackled to a statue or monument and left to die... there's a lot of visceral and dark things that could have happened that no one ever seemed to even touch on, this DLC makes me think I'm shooting zombies all day, because of the atmosphere and environment and number of times the trailer showed gunplay.

The Pitt's beginning had potential with the slave idea, but then it just threw it all away when you progressed through...

Ehh disappoints me no real secondary prison or capture or containment or torture or slave content has been made for games for a LONG TIME, and rarely is it ever good...

I doubt it will ever occur but it'd be interesting, they could add some story to it too, and the character really made 0 sacrifices the entire game, and a story needs sacrifices...

Edit: as for this content... ehh I might look into it but so far it lacks much potential for story...

Mest @ Jun 2nd 2009 6:24PM

the guy on top on you talks of an alien abduction which sounds similar to what you talked about and i agree the pitt started with much potential but lost it once u started aquiring weapons

Alexander @ Jun 2nd 2009 5:31PM

It looks good, but it doesn't look scary. I doubt I'll buy it though, I'll just borrow the game of the year version from my friend when he gets it. But God, what a Shitty logo.

Alexander @ Jun 2nd 2009 5:34PM

Also, I don't think Fallout 3 could ever be scary. The reason why is VATS. zomgwtfbbq something just popped out at me. Boom. Click VATS and its paused.

Popfrogs @ Jun 2nd 2009 7:50PM

VATS is a replacement for a horrible aiming experience. If it wasn't there the game would be unplayable. Although, in my quest for a platinum trophy on the PS3 version, the only time I got tired of it was when I absolutely had to use it on weak enemies. Kinda wished it had a "fuck you" button like hitting triangle on God of War.

Asg @ Jun 2nd 2009 5:32PM

nah it was announced for ps3

TheAngryGamer @ Jun 2nd 2009 5:36PM

I know that this DLC isn't really E3 related, but between that trailer, the press conference yesterday, and the 1 vs 100 Beta last night, this has basically been the best week for video games ever.

or evar.

WREturns @ Jun 2nd 2009 5:43PM

What's with the shitty "Point Lookout" font?

Michael Morettini @ Jun 3rd 2009 2:49AM

The font looks like its from an episode of "Scooby Doo"

Leobebes (BDF: Braid Defence Force) @ Jun 2nd 2009 6:23PM

I noticed that too...

How about some comic sans next time Bethesda

Chris @ Jun 2nd 2009 6:48PM

Agreed. Very cheesy looking. Doesn't match the vibe at all. Looks more like an episode of Barney and Friends.

cknblade @ Jun 21st 2009 10:32AM

"Like, Zoinks scoob! The mutated hillbilly was just a super mutant in disguise!"

BFBeast666 @ Jun 2nd 2009 5:44PM

Oh sweet, lots of irradiated veggies! I'm so there.

Andrew @ Jun 2nd 2009 5:53PM

Is that a double barrel shotgun (not sawed off) I see?

Manly Mcbeefington (Mr. ESC) @ Jun 2nd 2009 5:56PM

Force-a-nature confirmed.

cknblade @ Jun 2nd 2009 6:51PM

NEED A DISPENSER HERE!

Manly Mcbeefington (Mr. ESC) @ Jun 2nd 2009 5:55PM

Lone wanderer: "Excuse me do you know how to get to the Capital Wasteland?"

Mutant Hill billy:"Yeah is back the way you came" *grabs shotgun.

A bit weak compared to the rest but maybe if the Pipboy malfunctions during this campaign it could be scary.
