When ZeniMax scooped up id Software last month, speculation started about possible collaborations between id and Bethesda almost immediately started up. Those looking for new IP from the Doom creator will have to wait a bit longer, though, as id still has their hands full.

Now that id Software has been acquired by ZeniMax, the veteran game studio is using some of the extra cash by putting together a new development team. More after the jump.

A day after Bethesda launched their various Game of the Year and Deluxe packages of Oblivion and The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind as digital copies via Steam, then came the announcement that Bethesda Softworks and 2K Games are teaming up together to provide bundles for BioShock AND The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.

We've had a few publishers whip their E3 lineups out this week, so we're starting to get a picture of all those publishers and developers packed inside the LA Convention Center next week - but hold up, a few won't cut it. There are over a hundred different companies flocking to show their goods at the Electronic Entertainment Expo - publishers, developers, retailers, game sites, and all sorts of businesses having to do with electronic entertainment. For this edition of our QuickPeek E3 Specials, let's put the spotlight at what some of gaming's hottest companies have in store for us at the expo.

I actually did a double-take on this press release right here. Reading the title, I was like, "no way" and then "yes way" and then "whooooa." Bethesda Softworks has confirmed that the Fallout 3 DLC, which have been reaffirmed by Pete Hines to be exclusive for the Xbox 360 and PC, will now also be coming to the PS3 starting this June! And what's more is that not one - but two new DLC add-ons are planned after Broken Steel for all three platforms!

An interview with Bethesda's Pete Hines reveals some future plans they've got for Fallout 3 and the franchise as a whole. Hines talks about the DLC, the possibility of a Fallout MMO, and where the Oblivion books would take the franchise. Details in the full article.

Fans of Bethesda's Fallout 3 (PS3, Xbox 360, PC) will have something new to look forward to next year. No, not more DLC, but an actual new Fallout game from vets who worked on the first two games in the series (no this isn't the MMO).

Talk about a quick fix. Just earlier today, we reported on the exclusive Xbox 360 DLC for Fallout 3, The Pitt (also available on PC), and how it was bludgeoned with errors, so much so that there was no other recourse but to pull it out. Now we've got word that a fix should be up and about tomorrow.

Despite releasing Fallout 3 for both the PS3 and Xbox 360, Bethesda rep Pete Hines confirms, in his interview with The Bitbag's Torrence Davis, that DLC for Fallout 3 will only be for the Xbox 360 and PC versions. So if you've been looking forward to The Pitt and Broken Steel, then don't count on it.

Could there be a silver lining in the horizon after all? Bethesda is now speaking out about the previously reported Post-Ending Play patch that is supposedly coming to Fallout 3 for the Xbox 360 and PC, but denied for the PS3. And according to them, there is no such patch or update coming at all (sharp gasp!). But before you go believing that life is indeed fair and square, you might wanna find out about the catch at the full article.
