Bethesda Has No Plans To Release Any DLC For The Playstation 3

Torrence Davis of The Bitbag writes, "Well I was hoping to have some good news for Playstation fans today. I got a few emails yesterday asking if Bethesda will release ANY DLC for Fallout 3 on the Playstation 3. I can't believe I didn't ask Pete this question when I interviewed him. I did what any journalist would do…I sent him an email."

[Kleptic]

I find this extremely surprising in a not very surprising kind of way...

[Lifendz]

yet another reason I'm glad I didn't buy the game and will pick it up after it's been out long enough to sell for 30 bucks or less.

[DavidMacDougall]

Im going to trade my Fallout 3 & Farcry 2 in and get a real game

[mrdxpr2]

exactly what im planing when the game goes below atleast 30 il probably get it if i have the money and im interested :) but for now im good

[Ghoul]

money at work guys, exclusive dlc deals are awefull.
Games ok cause you dont have to worry about addons but buying a game on one plattform as a normal consumer (who doesnt have such info) you kinda get shafted since your 70 bucks game is not the same.

[SRU9600]

The PS3 is like the red headed stepchild of the gaming industry. lol

[SixTwoTwo]

If this whole situation pissed you off then don't support them with your hard earned money. They shafted me by denying me the complete Fallout 3 experience so I shafted them and bought their game used off of ebay. Let your wallet be your voice.

[FantasyStar]

No I'm joking. But it is an idea. I'm just as baffled as anyone else why Bethesda didn't release the DLC. Perhaps they're waiting for a GotY Version? That's what happened to Shivering Isles Expansion for the PS3. IIRC, PS3 never got a SI Expansion until after the GotY Version came out. Perhaps Bethesda is planning on that again, but with Fallout 3. It makes better sense that way.

[HighDefinition]

Just raise the flippin LEVEL CAP LIMIT.

[TheHater]

That what I did. If they are going to treat us like trash, I am going to buy their game used so you don't get anything from it.

[Dark General]

Don't worry guys, remember they said the same thing about Shivering Isles going to Ps3?

[Anon1974]

It's already at 1 1/4 million on the PS3, let alone what it's continuing to sell now. If they don't think that audience is large enough for their DLC, so be it. I knew that would probably be the case when I choose to buy it on my PS3 vs my 360.

Also of note, Trollimite said "if their happy with the bullshit job they did on the ps3."
What the hell is this guy talking about? This game was freakn amazing on the PS3. Fallout 3 was one of the best games released last year in my opinion, and in everyone else's opinion based on reviews I saw. The metacritic score of the PS3 version was over 90 and that was before the game was patched a week after release to clean up a couple of issues.

Edit: A disagree? Really? What for?

[titobudd]

Six months out from the release of the third expansion, the Microsoft paid timed exclusivity will expire and the enhanced versions of the dlc will be released on PSN. Just like the GTA IV episodes.

[Eiffel]

GTA IV DLC and Fallout 3 DLC are not timed. Microsoft gets them without having to share.

[ThanatosDMC]

No reason to buy DLC if it should have been included with the disk when it came out. Damn, milk farmers!

[Kleptic]

well i'm with most of you entirely...I didn't buy it because it was a glitchy mess to start with (the PSN message prompt thing freezing the game for a few seconds?...haha, no thanks)...

its a great game, and i'll eventually try it...but whatever...from watching some others play it, and the amount of stuff to do anyway...I wouldn't be very interested in DLC to begin with...

as a PS3 only owner...all this MS bending over backwards for exclusive DLC has been completely moot to me...had I owned a 360, and bought GTAIV for it...I guarantee I would not have bought any of the DLC for that...as in that would probably involve me actually finishing GTAIV to begin with; something I am far from interested in doing...

yet on the other hand...DLC for Burnout Paradise is absolutely awesome...most of which has been free...if the 360 was getting exclusive stuff like that, then I would be concerned...but its not...its getting pay for add ons for games that are MASSIVE to begin with...

I played the crap out of Oblivion...spent more hours with it than I cared to admit...yet had ZERO interest in the shivering isles...the game was big enough as is...if it was free, i'd try it...but there are much better pay for dlc offers on other titles...

[FarEastOrient]

The only games that have DLC done right is World of Warcraft and Burnout Paradise.

[GarandShooter]

Gotta disagree with you there FarEast. The MGS level pack for LBP is awesome.

[pixelsword]

After CoD4 came out, I told myself that any developer that can't use the Cell Processor properly to make a game port equally across all games isn't worth my money for the full price; on sale or used yes, but not full price.

I won't award laziness with money.

Anyways, another excellent article, Tor.

[pixelsword]

I'm not downing Bethesda at all in my earlier post, they are a very capable and intelligent development group. I'm downing the fact that I know those guys are extremely capable, but didn't put out the game they could have put out; that's why I didn't call them stupid. I did call them lazy but only because I know these guys are in the upper-crust of gaming developers right up there with Insomniac, Epic, (now) Guerrilla Games, and Infinity Ward so I KNOW they can do better, but they chose to release it earlier for what ever reason.

Yes, I do apologize for such a rash statement, and that I do realize that there are invariably going to be things in every game that a developer would want to change before a game goes out but can't, but you have to realize that to a lot of gamers out there that when they hear some developer names they expect quality. When you hear Bethesda, on the lips of PC gamers, Bethesda is their "Lexus" brand. When you talk to a console gamer, Bethesda is their "Lexus" brand as well. When PS3 owners saw the dedication and care put into The Elder Scrolls to get that game to look as good as, if not slightly better than the 360 version because of the improved draw distance, PS3 owners were at least expecting an equivalent port.

Yeah; maybe I'm getting a little too hard on them because every game is not perfect, but when the graphical news first came out I was a little bummed because I didn't want to get it for my box because I tend to fall asleep playing games when they're good and long like RPG's are and Fallout 3 apparently is. I didn't want to accidentally keep my box on through the night just to wake up to a Red-ringed box.

Poop on that, I love my box too much for it to get wrecked; besides, now I'm saving it for ODST!

[SinnedNogara]

No DLC for Fallout 3 PS3 owners. I have a friend who owns the 360 version and he loves it. My older brother owns the PS3 version (I bought it for him for Christmas) and he loves it as well, he is addicted to it. Now my older brother won't get the PS3 DLC. That is completely retarded. The PS3 is the more powerful system anyway.

[pain777pas]

Some may disagree but I didn't like Fallout 3 and Oblivion to me is better. I just didn't get into it at all and was bored. Maybe if there were less broken buildings or something I just didn't like being in that baren wasteland so sombre. The game can suck you in but I cannot remember anything about it. I'll pick it up later with GTA4 when the price comes down.

[1ikedamaster]

"yet on the other hand...DLC for Burnout Paradise is absolutely awesome"

-Too bad the game itself wasn't awesome. Yes, I have the best version --PC version. Full settings baby!

Let's just say I rather play the worst Need for Speed game than this crap. Waaay too arcadey for me.

On topic/
Everyone here does realize that DLC for this game also comes out for PC? I have Fallout 3 for PC, just finished beating Operation:Anchorage and getting the last of the achievements(1100 total). I absolutely loved this game, fell back in love when I played the DLC.

As for GTAIV DLC...two words...missing out!

[SL1M DADDY]

I sent it back to Gamefly and started playing Oblivion again. Sorry, but IMHO, Bethesda was in its prime with Oblivion and simply took a step back for Fallout 3. Don't get me wrong, I liked Fallout 3 but it was not as "epic" as Oblivion and the ending of Fallout 3 sucked arse.

[Anon1974]

I see a few names up there saying they didn't bother with the game because it was half assed and glitchy. Are you out of your freakn minds? What few glitches they had were fixed within the week, and even with these annoyances there were still multiple reviewer throwing perfect scores at this game's feet. Does that tell you nothing?
If reports of a couple of small issues kept you away from this masterpiece of a game, in my opinion you just have no business even calling yourself a gamer.

[TheColbertinator]

Its more likely that Microsoft payed for the DLC.I have the PC version and I did not like Operation Anchorage like how I enjoyed the Oblivion DLC.Considering that the PS3 version sold decently,I wonder what happened.

I might get The Pitt if the reviews are solid

[josh14399]

well hmmmm i wonder why? its obvious msoft flashed the cash. every big multiplat game msoft always says exclusive dlc.

[SpoonyRedMage]

Well considering Bethesda released games on the PC and Xbox before the PS3 they're primarily Microsoft developers. Sony technically stole Oblivion as an exclusive.

[Ghoul]

"they're primarily Microsoft developers"

wrong, Bethesda is a PC developer and as a pc dev you are not a MS dev.
MS has no influence over the games released on pc. on the box on the other hand they decide wich game is to be released and wich not.

Oblivion was no 360 exclusiv its a pc game with a 360 port/version.
And with the fact that the ps3 (17. November 2006) wasnt even out by that time we kinda know what "exclusiv" oblivion (24. March 2006) is

[SpoonyRedMage]

Morrowind has been on the original Xbox but not the PS2 so I'd count that as being an MS dev before a Sony dev.

And obviously Microsoft must be taken into consideration as there wouldn't be Games for Windows and similar otherwise.

[Ghoul]

"Games for Windows and similar otherwise"

Games for windows is a assault from ms to finaly gain controll over the pc gaming sector.

Morrowind wasnt possible on the ps2 cause of the lacking hdd.

Bethesda is no Microsoft Dev

[SpoonyRedMage]

But they're not a Sony dev. And it's obvious the MS platforms are their preferred so yes they are MS devs.

Morrowind would have been powerful(I mean possible but power is a consideration) but they it would probably need to have it's own memory dedicated to it but I had a 64mb one so that isn't too bad.

[Ghoul]

we both are correct :)

[SpoonyRedMage]

Oh I know but my point is that PS3 is of lower priority than the 360 and PC(PC being the highest), that's what I meant by MS dev. But they are technically an MS dev aren't they because they develop for windows primarily(not mac or linux or any other one)?

EDIT:@^: I'll agree to that, but now I have only one bubble left damn you! only kidding.;)

@V: I'm not disputing that I'm just saying MS' platforms are the preferred ones.

[evrfighter]

Microsoft gets no royalties from pc dev's even if they are using windows as their platform. It would be different if they paid for the "Games For Windows" sticker though.

[Voiceofreason]

You do not make games on the PC and not work with MS in some form or another. You dont pass up Windows so you have to work with MS, and most PC games us Direct X of some form. Cant get it without working with MS either. While they might not make the PC itself they pretty much make all the programs that games are made on. I am sure you could do it without using any MS products but you'll also kill your sales because so few would be able to use the game.

[Ghoul]

"While they might not make the PC itself they pretty much make all the programs that games are made on"

pretty much completly wrong.

not a SINGLE of my art creation tools are from ms (sure they run on windows but thats a dominance thing instead of a real coice)

No programmer is bound to windows in fact i know many that work in linux mac and windows alike.

ms offers many programs like word excel etc. but thats where the fun also ends, nearly no company i know/worked with uses more then necesary as there are nearly allways better and cheaper products from smaler companys.

windows is only the platform.

@spoony

there i give you a bubble+

[Lucreto]

I got the platinum and I have no reason to go back now.

[Johnny Rotten]

I'm playing this on the Xbox right now and it's pretty cool, I have no interest in buying the DLC but as for the PS3 I can see them releasing with the "Game of the Year edition".

[Jerk120]

Bethesda, like Valve, knows how much the Suckstation 3 sucks which is why they refuse to release the DLC to the Ps3 and why they didn't include the Ps3 trophies at first.

[Magic_The_Celt]

You, like many other fanboys on this websites

are complete and utter idiots, and should not be allowed an opinion :)

[cereal_killa]

Magic_The_Celt

Sleipnir is the new PP just another jealous Muppet who's 1 bubble is explain by all his idiotic comments.

BTW where is PP is he grounded from using the PC or is his new account not been detected yet (I think I know his knew 1).

[Raoh]

is this new news? LOL Seriously?

[joeblk10]

um...... yes

[Raoh]

How?

they announced the dlc is for the 360 and pc and not for the ps3 at E3 last year.

and recently every website reported that bethesda was keeping it exclusive to the 360 and pc and had no ps3 plans...

sooooooooooo yeah i can see how its new news...

[BGDad]

I hate DLC and could not care less what console gets it because I wouldnt get it for any...

It always feels like an addon and never part of the game IMO it ruins games... Not to mention they charge out the rear for it.

I was disappointed with Fallout 3, I heard a lot of hype and it really wasnt all that great. Felt like Oblivion A LOT.

[davidrx7]

pretty lame bethesda, pretty lame indeed .

[brycespitler]

lets make ppl on the ps3 not want to purchase our games anymore

they'll definitely buy fallout 4 if they get screwed over on fallout 3

thats the way to treat fans of your game

make them feel like their not worth a damn.

marketing strategy of the year right there
"lets alienate half our fanbase"

[Stubacca]

I loved Fallout 3, one of last year's best games, but I'm not too bothered about the DLC. I felt the game was far more limited than the likes of Oblivion and am looking forward to Bethesda's next title.

I don't think the PS3 needs it. anyways, it has a great series of exclusives coming, so it's good the X-box has something special of it's own.

But what a great game Fallout 3 was! Great fun blowing people's heads off and sh*t!

[Juevani]

I waisted money on a bad port and a Nuclear Version og Elder Scroll..
and overall they wont even realese dlc for the people who wants them and have supported them in buyin this sh1tty port.. man thats sad, specialy when u see how good 1st party developers is doin.. Companies like that wont learn until we as gamers and supporters start boycotting them and not givin them our money that we work hard for.. any1 should understand this, im no fanboy or a crybaby, im just a gamer and a supporter who wants quality for my money.. have fun all..

1

[happyface]

Yeah dood, boycott their games and then see if they pull a Valve and just quit ps3 altogether, that'll help ur ps triple do better

[PirateThom]

Maybe he's not a drone who just buys games because the media says he should and is demanding the best quality possible?

[GrandTheftZamboni]

I'm pretty sure that every PS3 owner has a PC if they want to play those games.

[Voiceofreason]

So why complain at all if every PS3 owner has a PC to play the DLC on? Kinda blew your whole point there didnt you? I mean why even release it for the PS3 when so many should have a PC or 360 to play it on. Really the only people that are hurt by this are those that only support one gaming console and if you thought supporting 1 console was going to get you 100% of all games you deserve this.

[GrandTheftZamboni]

Did I complain? And my point is exactly what I stated above. I myself don't care about this game. I'm supporting only one console because that's how many I want to keep under my TV. And I don't have time to play 100% of games anyway. If Fallout was one I want to play, I could still do it on PC. It says so in the article.

[-EvoAnubis-]

If they don't give a crap, why should I? They make some damn fine games, but if this is the way it's gonna be, then I'm just going to give back what I'm getting from them.

[kenjix]

Killzone 2
MLB 09
SF4
50 Cent Blood on the Sand (PS3 yeah I know, but I loved the PSP version)
Resistance Retribution
MLB 09 PSP
RE5 PS3
Infamous
Heavy Rain

just to name the early 09 Budget Plan

Bethesda don't waste any Dev time on this PS3 owner I won't be sending any of my money your way anyway too many other titles to purchase :)

[Turntable Jack]

Yea, fallout 3 was the best game of the year without DLC and bethesda puts out great games. Yea it sucks for you ps3 owners, but you still get great games from them and fallout 3 is still a great game.

If you pout because you can't get DLC, then o well.

[Zeus Lee]

It was obviously an exclusive deal between Microsoft and Bethesda,going by the horrendous reviews for the DLC,I can see why Sony aren't pursuing similar content for the Ps3 version.

[Stu1981]

I'm glad this got answered. Because it hadn't sunk in the three dozen over times it had been asked.

[tristanmike]

This gives me good reason to pirate the game and the content for the PC and encourage all of my friends to do the same. (and all future/past Bethesda products). No sweat off my sack.

If Bethesda is going to play favorites like this, then they won't be getting my money in the future. It's one thing to not release the game at all on a particular platform, it's another entirely different thing to release the game on many platforms but only support some of them.

[SpoonyRedMage]

Read my comment above. They are playing favourites, and that isn't nice but they've always been a primarily MS developer why would that change all of a sudden?

[GarandShooter]

Spoony, maybe there's legitimate business reasons, beyond preference, like market potential, cost vs profit, etc.

The CEO of McDonalds doesn't have to like the McFish sandwich for their stores to sell it.

Reply:
If you have a decent PC, then buy the game for PC. Do you even want the downloadable content? Everyone knew prior to the release, that the DLC was not going to appear on the PS3 - you had no excuses if you bought that expecting DLC.

Reply:
What sort of backwards world do you live in? You'd rather have no port on a particular system just because the other systems have DLC available? What sort of bullshit logic is that? When you goto a store, you pay for that product.

Don't tell me Fallout 3 or GTA IV weren't complete packages before the DLC was released, because they're the two most critically acclaimed and feature rich games released last year.

[jessupj]

Backwards logic? It's called having a bit of self respect and not accepting this shoddy treatment we're getting from bethesda. We just want the same quality product 360 owners are getting, but we're having dirt kicked in our faces.

And I won't care too much if bethesda stop supporting us completely, I'll still be enjoying HEAPS of great games. They can f*ck themselves if they're gonna be like that.

[N2NOther]

Self respect? Again I ask what makes it ok for Konami to ignore the 360 with an entire game, but Bethesda is "disrespecting" you by not releasing this content on your console of choice?

If ANYONE used common sense (not sure why it's called "common sense" when so few people have it), logic and rationale, Fanboys wouldn't exist.

[Synthetic47]

I feel like it's a different story when a manufacture releases a game on all formats but holds back dlc for a particular one then a manufacture developing a game strictly for a particular console/PC.

[kwyjibo]

Of course it's backwards logic, there is no logic.

You knew from the outset that Fallout 3 was getting DLC on Microsoft platforms only. Yet you chose to buy the full game on PS3, the same full game that you can buy on 360 or PC.

And yet, tristan is using this as some kind of premise to promote piracy on other platforms.

[GameGambits]

The sales for the PS3 version would have to astronomically low for Bethesda to not have the same DLC on PS3 as well. The cost of making it available must outweigh the profits that could be made.

Personally as a developer I wouldn't bother either if I was going to lose out on doing it. I'd rather keep as much money as I can in times like these to be able to deliver more on my companies next project.

Tough luck for PS3 owners of the game, but I had the 360 version. I love Fallout 3 and if it wasn't for MGS4 it would've been my game of the year in 2008. I did however sell it after getting a 890 gamerscore on it, because I really didn't care about the DLC. The DLC for most games today is just throw on that won't really stretch my limits of enjoyment of the game. My second playthrough of the game I stopped at like level 4, because after spending like 80 hours on my first full playthrough, it was just dull and boring to go again.

It really isn't that big of a deal to lose out on THIS DLC they have planned. I'd be more upset if I was a PS3 owner of GTA4 who loves the series and doesn't get The Lost and Damned. From what I've read and heard that's the best 20 bucks spent in a long while for extra content.

[TheHater]

you do know that the PS3 version sold well over a million. I believe around 1.5 million unites worldwide. The reason for no DLC on the PS3 is because MS made a deal with them for exclusive DLC. Just like what MS did for the exclusive GTA IV contents.

[KKanjiAnkh]

DLC is horrible, these developers who tote it like their gonna support all the systems fairly, end up screwing up. You have a system that can hold a $h!t ton of info on a disk, but not really trying to break the mold. The graphics are/should be the icing on the cake next to gameplay, and exploration. I'm not saying screw 360, i'm just saying look at the huge potential of a game that doesn't warrant DLC for along time.

Also a lot of times the expansions, fall short of the experience, you thought you purchased.

[OGharryjoysticks]

Fallout 3 was too grey

[ASSASSYN 36o]

From what I have seen of hiroshima and nagasaki fallout usually looks that way after a nuke goes off. That pretty green sure won't be there...except in oasis apparently.

[GarandShooter]

'That pretty green sure won't be there'

You're forgetting the beautiful green afterglow.

[poeo]

shame on them for ignoring a huge chunk of their fans.

i happen to LOVE Bethesda and Fallout 3 on PS3 is one my favorite games ever in my 20 years of gaming. it's clear they make their games with a lot of love put into them... the game is absolutely massive and full of things that have amazed me. i as a gamer have to appreciate them for their hard work. but still, shame on them.. i have lost a lot of respect. (but hey, at least they made a PS3 version, if this game was an Xbox exclusive i would have had to buy another console to play it).

and guys, do not forget they made a superior console version of Oblivion (GOTY back then) for us PS3 owners. even though there was a smaller install base, they did that extra work to give us a superior version. so if anyone is to blame, maybe it's us PS3 owners who didn't support them back when they were still giving PS3 some extra love...

[Tainted Gene]

...well said

[Voiceofreason]

PC and 360 both have a much bigger install base. How exactly are the skipping over a huge portion of their fans when the biggest amount of their fans will see this on their PC or 360.
Only the small number of PS3 only gamers will be missing out. Many more than that missed out on games last gen that totally missed the GC and the xbox for the PS2 Millions missed out but I bet that doesnt bother you at all does it? Doesnt matter that people miss out as long as it isnt you.

Just go buy a 360 and deal with it. Developers shouldnt be expected to just throw money at the console wit the poorest software sales of any gaming console in history and the lowest install base this gen. They shouldnt lose out because you backed the wrong console. You should own up and just go buy one that is getting support on all levels this gen.

I am playing some of the best games this gen and didnt even have to keep my PS3 beyond 6 months in order to do that. I can safely play 90% of all games this gen. Do the same for yourself and top crying because your console got skipped over.

Developers do not spend the most on the console that is in last place. Been that way since gaming began and I see no need to change it now just because a few million people fell for Sonys line of BS ad backed the wrong console.

[poeo]

yeah, like im going to buy a whole new console and the game AGAIN, just for some DLC that isnt even being reviewed that well. (barely 70/100 on metacritic). no thanks, that's just too much investment for a couple hours of extra fun.

and didnt Fallout 3 sell over a million on PS3? that's quite a lot of fans for the game who are being left out.

but whatever, revel in your ignorance.

[thorstein]

So let's say that only half or a quarter bought the new DLC (which is already made).. that amounts to what? 5-7 million in sales?

Brilliant <-SARCASM

[CaulkSlap]

Well I have it on PC and have no intention of paying for extra content.

[Socomer 1979]

I got fallout3 used!
even still its a waste because I got glitched out of the game in the project purity waters for life glitch.
Its a glitchy pop up mess of a game & 3rd person view is retarded.
I'm not understanding the work the half a$$ work they put in. Bethesda is dead to me.

[Nineball2112]

I enjoyed the game, but I agree... It's glitchy as hell.

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

Not a suprise, the PS3 never gets any DLC goodies.

[TheHater]

Both Mirror Edge and Dead Space have exclusive Playstation 3 contents.

[JD_Shadow]

...tried to get to Todd Howard (though I got some BS about how he doesn't take impromptu interviews. What is this?). I did leave a message for marketing (AGAIN!). I echoed what questions I gave here: http://www.gamegazette.net/... . I also gave a bit of my own opinions that him ducking these questions is cowardly (and yes, I did say that word IN the message), my Skype number AND e-mail address, and I'm sure marketing will at least listen to my message. Hopefully answers will be given.

EDIT: The number for Bethesda is 1-(301)-926-8300

[Scruffy_K]

The response to this article makes me wonder, what exactly did you think "Microsoft bought the exclusive rights to Fallout 3 DLC" meant?

[tordavis]

I thought it meant, they get 3 dlc episodes exclusive and the rest will be multiplatform.

[DJ]

Microsoft did pay for it.

[Captain Tuttle]

If your PC can run it get it on that (I don't think it's very demanding). There's some great mods out for the game already...much more content than any official DLC.

[GarandShooter]

Come on Tut, this thread isn't about Bethesda making a business decision, it's more fuel for the console war flame.

In the future, I kindly ask that you notice these things and stop bringing logic and sensibility where it's clearly not wanted.

You may now return to your PC mods for Fallout 3.

[thorstein]

I have PS3 Oblivion GOTY edition with all the DLC. So....

[Magic_The_Celt]

Yano what makes me sick?

EXCLUSIVE DLC

Seriously, its just awful, what is the point? when you buy a console you expect not to get some games, there called exclusive games, but when you get a game you should get any DLC that comes with it

Exclusive DLC is a kick in the face for any gamer, and any idiot fanboy who thinks its good shouldnt even call themselves a gamer because there laughing at misfortune to THEMSELVES, a gamer.

[Graphics Whore]

It's a great game, but operation anchorage didn't really satisfy my hunger for more Fallout 3. Some people would be satisfied I wasn't.

[Tony P]

I'm with you. Personally, it wasn't very 'RPG' to me. All action, very little anything else. If I want a pure shooter, I'll play a real FPS.

Maybe Pitt will fit my interests more.

[kalistyles]

Does a game that's over a hundred hours of gameplay really need DLC? Seriously. I have the game. Am about 60 hours into it and i cant imagine getting more content for a game that I know will not end for at least another 40 hours of gameplay.

[nothere413]

It was kind of long, but it didn't take me more than around 50 hours to beat it and get the Platinum Trophy. (No, I'm not lying. I have it. Check my PSN profile. It's nothere413)

It wasn't as good or as long as Oblivion was. And I didn't feel that the world and landscape was as inspired as Oblivions was.

And as much as I want PS3 DLC, we all knew a LONG time ago that it wouldn't happen.

[Darrius Cole]

Fallout was made in very similar fashion to Oblivion. However, even though lots of the mechanisms within the game were just like Oblivion, I don't think the game felt at all like Oblivion.

I would not mind living in Tamriel during the Elder Scrolls/Oblivion times. There wasn't a lot of technology but it had a lot of trees and you could drink the water.

Life as depicted in Fallout would suck majorly. The era displayed in Fallout is an awful time to be alive. To me, that makes the game a worse fantasy and therefore less desirable than Oblivion.

[Trebius]

Piracy is the answer! Thanks for showing us the light Bethesda. We'll make sure not to buy your product again for risk of not getting DLC. We'll just pirate it instead! :)

[redsquad]

Ohhh well - Don't have the game but my Sister does. Guess I won't be getting it now despite her recommendation - If a firm is going to be so blatant as to say they won't offer support to one of their titles on my format of choice then why should I bother?

[DELTABOY04]

why make a ps3 version if they are not willing to support it in the long run? do they think its ok to blackball the ps3 version and its fans?they should have announced this kind of thing when the game was coming out...so there wouldnt be any confusion.

[Silly gameAr]

Still a decent game for the PS3. Might eventually come out, but either way, there are other great games to play that actually respects players on both consoles.

Geze... I was actually gonna buy this game(trailer looks cool!). but no dlc is bullsh!t. Now it will feel like an incomplete game...
Im just gonna save my munny for InFamous I guess.

Offtopic: KILLZONE 2 tommorow!!

[yojoe26]

but I didn't really like this game. I rented it and played just long enough to get out of the underground world and when I got out I did something I shouldn't have done: I switched to third-person view. Now I know this is stupid, but when I saw the character animation in third-person I thought my guy ran and jumped like a retard and it really made it hard for me to take the game seriously after that. Character animations are important to me. I don't know why, but it is hard for me to become immersed in a game when I am constantly distracted by my character running and jumping like he has a pole shoved in his crapper. Anyways, I may try this game again sometime and make sure that I keep it in first-person view.

X360 has DLC because Microsoft paid for it. But Sony paid dearly for great 1st party FUTURE games so as a owner of both consoles, I am happy. I can get exclusives on both side and buy all the superior third party games on the x360.

Total games owned:

X360: 54
PS3: 06

I like the game, sure there're glich and problems, but that doesn't change the fact the game is fun. I even bought the CE and got the Platinum trophy for it. I was really looking forward to see some DLC but I guess it'll won't happen.

I do not agree nor understand why Bethesda won't release DLC for PS3 owners, I'm sure there're gamers like me wouldn't mind paying $20(more or less) for DLC. But if that's what they decided to do, all I can say is too bad. They won't make much money from us again, cause no body likes to be treated unfairly.

[Scary69]

This is why I am glad I didnt give them any if my money. It's companies like this who will start to lose business. 360 Sales won't always be around.

[Mr Tretton]

The interesting thing is the president I believe from Bethesda said this is the last time they would do something like this. That they didn't anticipate the desire from PS3 owners

Screw M$ and their DLC buying asses

[N2NOther]

This is why I own both consoles...But, by all means, don't get a great game because some superfluous expansions aren't going to be released on YOUR system of choice. Wow, I love how people think they're doing something special by boycotting a game that has already sold millions. Amazing.

[Shadowstar]

Never really expected them to. It was a big reason why I wasn't sure of buying this game, despite the Fallout series being one of my favorites (I even have Brotherhood of Steel because it was a Fallout game. Way bigger mistake than buying this one.)

Bethesda doesn't like PS3 owners for whatever reason, even though they'll do the port. I guess that's good and bad for us. We didn't get horse armor, and we don't get Fallout DLC. Which means we don't have to spend our money on it! So, that's the up side :)

[McLuvn]

I bought it day 1, because of the post apocalyptic angle and love the crap out of it. I won't be getting the next ES, not because of any spite I just didn't like Oblivion. I knew there was no DLC coming. It was announced at E3 and I believed them I just didn't care. Sure I would like to have it but what am I supposed to do? Whine awhile? NO. Good on MS fans, have fun. I won't be trading it in either, it's just too much fun. I will still buy Fallout 4, day 1.

Just put windows os on your ps3 then download and play the pc version

[Austin_SJ]

Money talks, until it becomes less profitable to accept money for exclusivity there will be no need for Bethesda to change.

[N2NOther]

People are saying ridiculous things like "I've lost respect for Bethesda" and are protesting because of something as trivial as mission packs, but yet Komani is revered for keeping MGS 4 as a PS3 exclusive?

People are saying things like "it sold over a million copies for PS3, that's a lot of people being ignored" and yet MGS 4 would have sold well over that on 360 and this is ok?

Microsoft, Rockstar and Bethesda are evil for making a deal for keeping PS3 owners out of the loop, but Konami and Sony are saints for keeping 360 owners out of the loop on Metal Gear?

Give me a break. This is how business has ALWAYS been conducted and the big reason why I own both consoles. So I, as an avid gamer, don't miss out on games and content I want because I only bought one.

[dj55555555]

yes they are saints to make mgs4 exclusive you would have had to downgrade the graphics or cut out chunks of the game for it to work on the 360 because of the size of the dvd storage is toss. Its nice to see developers not bowing down to microsofts millions and just make the game all it could be.

[N2NOther]

Actually they wouldn't have to any of that....It would just require more than one disc, which is extremely doable due to the 5 act structure of the game. Please don't delude yourself into thinking it was anything as noble as keeping the game "everything it can be". It was $$$ and that's it.

[L-a-i-n]

No worries you will get the DLC as the Game of the Year version or an expansion in disc form. Just my opinion of course.

[Lykon]

if that decision don't come back on bethesda when ps3 owns even more that it owns now which is a lot and then bethesda will feel like retards, also the dlc backlash will start to gain momentum and then everyone will think that M$ are even more poo than ever for making games companies do it. this isn't a war between consoles this is a battle between good and evil, good equaling good products fairly priced that work v's sinister money grabbing people that sell faulty stuff and then try to dominate everyone in any way possible even though they have less ability and talent and are nasty fat men who smell of poo.

[slimy the g8ter]

know whats good 4 them and they want the dlc get the pc version
