Bethesda has announced the Fallout: New Vegas Ultimate Edition for PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

It launches in Europe on 10th February and in the US on 7th February 2012.

The Ultimate Edition has all the game add-on content for New Vegas, including Dead Money, Honest Hearts, Old World Blues, Lonesome Road, Courier's Stash and Gun Runners' Arsenal.

The DLC adds new areas and increases the maximum level cap to 50.

"For players who are seasoned explorers of New Vegas or just getting into the game for the first time, the Ultimate Edition expands beyond the Wasteland like never before with the Sierra Madre Casino, Zion National Park, Big MT research crater and the treacherous Divide now open for exploring," Bethesda said.

Finally. 1000'd this game about 2 months ago and been waiting on this freaking announcement. Definitely did not enjoy New Vegas as much as Fallout 3, but I still wanna finish it in it's entirety.

All these Ultimate/GOTY editions + HD Collections are becoming a bit much these days.

New Vegas Ultimate Edition will be available on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC.

No price listed yet, but likely $60. Considering how cheap this game has been available for some time($10-15) plus some of the DLC going on sale already($5), this isn't as much of a "deal", but I know this will excite many people.
 
Add a pipboy like the old survival addition and I may consider it...

Although I don't know what I would ever do with it, but it's one of those have to have it until you get it things for me...
 
[quote name='matrix9280']With all the glitches fixed of course.[/QUOTE]

If that was sincerely the case, I'd buy it day-one.
 
Shocking ... :roll:

What I don't understand was how the original Fallout 3 GOTY edition was actually MORE glitchy than the separate releases. I actually kept my original Fallout 3 disc after purchasing the GOTY edition, because it was so bad.
 
Are the glitches fixed? Cause They could throw in all the DLC the want, but if the glitches are not fixed I don't wanna hear it. It was such an awesome game, but so unplayable at times. You haven't done "Glitchy" until you did New Vegas.

Been waiting soooo long for this! this makes me :)[/QUOTE]

In my defense I posted this in the general gaming news forum but after linking to that they merged these two threads together. ;)
 
[quote name='strait edge follower']This is literally one of the most broken games I've ever seen.[/QUOTE]


THIS ^^^

But I had a feeling it would be the case with Obsidian involved. I love Bethesda and can't wait for Skyrim. And I know open world games are going to be glitchy. But I got about 20 hours in on New Vegas and couldn't take it anymore. I just wish Obsidian would get their crap together.

Morrowind is still my fave. Oblivion was okay enough but it is shameful that some of the game breaking glitches weren't fixed for the five year version. SHAMEFUL.

Can't wait to hear if the bugs in NV are addressed. Not holding my breath though.
 
[quote name='cheeky']Never experienced a single glitch while playing this. Must be a ps3 thing...[/QUOTE]

It could be. A quick glance at the reviews on amazon shows that the PS3 version suffered more than the 360 one, although plenty of people had issues with the 360. Or maybe 360 owners are more tolerant. I don't know, but I had the PS3 version and it was such a letdown. So much potential.
 
I had very few issues with my PS3 copy. Gland to see there will be a new edition..I'd like to go back and play it again.

Can't wait to hear if the bugs in NV are addressed. Not holding my breath though.[/QUOTE]

I got new vegas when it came it out and it was easily the most broken console game I've played...after about 2 dozen+ crashes (including some previously unseen hard crashes that required one to UNPLUG the 360 to be able to turn the 360 off), I gave up.

I tried again a few months later and it was much improved...but still buggy....instead of crashing every 20-30 minutes it was crashing every couple of hours or so.

Recently, I started a new game for the hardcore achievement and it seems much more stable but it still occasionally crashes. I've got all the DLC active and I'm probably 40 hours into it and I've had 4 crashes. So it seems that they have gotten it down to around the fallout 3 level of crashing, which is probably the best we can expect given at this stage and the limitations of the gamebryo engine.
 
If it gets a bargin price I'll consider it. I might pay up to $40, considering I already own the regular collectors edition and one of the DLC packs.

But why hasn't EA/Bioware done this for Mass Effect 2 yet?
 
Why didnt they call it GOTY Edition? Im guessing because it wasnt GOTY

Although, I did just trade in RDR Undead, and Fallout NV, so these Ultimate packages are just asking me to rebuy and get all the DLC, and I might
 
[quote name='BingoBrown']And this is why I waited...[/QUOTE]

Seconded. I'll be waiting for it to hit Steam during next year's holiday sale.
 
Maybe, I should dump/trade into Gamestop my PS3 copy that I got from Blockbuster Video during the Buy 1 Get 1 free sale on used games awhile back. I haven't even gotten to it yet and probably won't due to my backlog. I'd like to get $7.50, but don't expect that much.

Edit: I wonder if I can use whatever trade in credit I can get with this game right away to pay off a preorder I'm going to pick up?

I didn't have any glitches with New Vegas like I did with Fallout 3. I had it when it was full price and it crashed constantly, and I found the Railway Gun glitch to be entirely unacceptable given how awesome the Railway Gun is. I didn't love New Vegas like I love Fallout 3, though. I'm not sure why.
 
Funny I bought Fo3 on launch in 08 and put in 40 hrs plus and never got around to finishing it. Never played fonv but that glitch at the beginning where the guys head spun around was some creepy shit!
 
Yeah by the time I get to New Vegas it will drop in price considering I still have to play Oblivion, Fallout 3, Mass Effect 1 and 2 and Dragon Age Ultimate edition not to mention a zillion other Xbox 360 games since I am just getting the system next week....
 
Hmm, I haven't gotten very far in New Vegas.. wondering if I should just pick this up instead. I'm hoping for a $40 price tag for this, (RDR goty was $40 iirc) considering New Vegas vanilla could be had for so cheap lately but I'm gonna assume their gonna milk it for all its worth and charge $60 for this package. Maybe amazon will have it cheap in for the holidays, here's hoping
 
I hope it will be on disk like Fallout 3 GOTY.

I was very frustrated by Borderlands code approach to the DLC release on GOTY. Makes it hard to delete the DLC from your hard drive when you are done- in case you want to play it in 5 years. Can we trust Microsoft to keep the legacy DLC available? Probably not.
 
I don't buy them at launch just because they always seem to have tons of bugs...

Although I am looking forward to Skyrim so much that it will be a launch purchase for me. Just going to save every 10 minutes...
 
[quote name='TooMuchCoolness']The game froze on me when I was hiding in the caves from the coyotes. That pissed me off.[/QUOTE]

I would be pissed off if coyotes chased me into a cave too.

Oh...wait...

I'm considering the RDR GOTY edition, since it'd be nice to have everything in one package like the GTA IV Complete. But I'm just afraid that my old game saves won't work with that edition much like my GTA IV save didn't work with the Complete Edition.:roll:

FYI: Gamestop isn't the only place taking in trades now, ya know. Best Buy is giving $7 base for it and if you pre-order Skyrim or select other games you can get 50% on top of that. Then if you have their Gamer's Club Unlocked(carbon copy of Power Up Rewards from GS) you can add in another 10%.

So in the end you can get $11.20 towards the pre-order of a future title. But in order to get the 50% promo you have to put down $5 on it. So after that you're left with $6.20.

Don't forget that BB also has the pre-order/purchase 5 select games n get $100 worth of RZ certificates promo going on now too.:D

Isn't it just in your account, you could redownload. I really don't think MS will discontinue XBOX 360 downloads in 5 years... it will be much longer than that, if they ever shut down Xbox Live for the 360. MS has billions of customers using their service, it would be like if Apple shut down the App store for good until their new device came out, and built an entirely new app store which rendered all previous apps useless.. Besides there are 320GB hard drives available these days, while I think you could definitely fill one with a 320GB drive even with a few GB of DLC if its something you like just leave it on the drive.
 
[quote name='SaraAB']MS has billions of customers using their service...[/QUOTE]

Billions seems like a bit of a stretch.

I wish I had your faith in MS continuing to support the 360 once their new console hits. So far they're 0 and 1 for legacy online support.
 
I've played through FO3 and FNV and Oblivion multiple times and have NEVER experienced these "major glitches" people speak of.
Maybe Bethesda loves mah swaggerificliciousness. :D
 
[quote name='mickleohb']Alright! Time to start waiting for it to drop in price![/QUOTE]
This. I knew before this game even came out that it was gonna be 1) full of bugs 2) drop in price like a rock and 3) have tons of overpriced DLCs and an inevitable all-in-1 edition. I have passed on this game at $9.99 three different times already, knowing that by the time I ever would actually be ready to pull it out of the backlog & play it, I will have bought a complete edition for $19.99 or less.

My sentiments exactly. I loved Fallout 3. That's probably an understatement. I played through 3 complete times. I was skeptical about this one because it wasn't the same developer. From what I understand though, it's basically the same gameplay and the bugs have now been fixed. I will get this complete edition after a good price drop and be done with it once and for all.
