Left by penguin on November 25th, 2008

I know the ship has already sailed but I have to express my dissapointment with your decision to exclude your PS3 fanbase from any future plans for Fallout 3. I know it’s the smallest percentage of your sales but we are loyal fans nonetheless.

Thanks for making a terrific game anyway.

Awesome news, indeed. It’s great that you appreciate the creativity of your fans and provide people with modding tools. I wish it was more common practice among other developers Thank you.

Left by Dr Judym on November 25th, 2008

Any chance you can make G.E.C.K content work for the PS3 version in the same way that Unreal Tournament mods can be deployed on the PS3?

Left by Christian on November 25th, 2008

Exciting news indeed! The G.E.C.K. Editor is one heckuva xmas gift to be looking forward too. Thanks alot Bethesda for doing what you didnt have to do especially during these tough economic times when time is definitely money.

Those DLCs look fantastic and like they are going to be oozing with depth. Hope they make you big bucks and come out in a compilation package by years end 2009

It’s not that easy unfortunately. And that raises the “questionable content” discussion for systems like the 360.

Don’t count on PC mods for TES or Fallout being on a console anytime soon.

Awesome!

Left by Andrew on November 25th, 2008

it is hard to vote with your wallet when they will not give you the content to show them that you want it.

I have an older computer, there is no way in hell I was going to upgrade my pc for a single game that I’ve been waiting almost 10 years for when I have a perfectly good console on my HDTV. So the very moment they announced it going to ps3 I preordered IN FULL the collectors edition for my PS3. Then microsoft pays them for exclusive content. My heart broke. I’ve waited so long for this game and now the very studio that saved this game from nothingness holds back from me. I would gladly spend my money on this, I want an expansion. Give me more! I would pay 30 bucks in a heartbeat for the announced content.. Bethesda that is money, can you hear it talking? Give ps3 owners the chance to get your expansions. We want it.

Left by BoO on November 25th, 2008

I am going through Fallout withdrawal. My life seems empty and meaningless now. I have played Fallout 1 and 2, I think this is the best game franchise ever put together. My eyes actually watered at the conclusion, no game has ever done that to me before. My only regret is that I played it through too quickly and missed many cool places in the world. I think I will go back to a previous saved game and explore more, then finish it again. My advice to anyone playing this game is to take your time and enjoy every location and moment. I don’t play many video games, because of time constraints and other interests, but I make time for Fallout.

I can’t wait for the downloadable content. That’s what brought me to this page. It will ease the withdrawal.

Here’s to Fallout 4,5,6, …n. Best wishes to all at Bethesda, and thanks for creating this amazing experience. You’ve certainly created a flame in my heart, even if you haven’t set the world on fire.

Left by Yair on November 25th, 2008

I never doubted you guys for a second. Thank you for being so much more than your competition. I’ve never been of a fair weather fan of anything, be it a sports franchise, an electronics manufacturer or even a game developer so needless to say you’ll always be my favorite no matter what the future holds.

From me, my friends and family to each and everyone of you and your friends and family, Happy Holidays and a prosperous New Year.

Left by mike on November 26th, 2008

As a PS3 owner and I think I speak for a majority of PS3 owners, why can´t you make the same DLC for PS3? We have the same rights as other PC,XBOX360 gamers and should not be left out. PS3 gamers want this DLC as much as any other, and it´s a big market for Bethesda to bet on…

Left by Miguel Vieira on November 26th, 2008

I’M a PS3 owner and I feel very much left behind by this update since we get nothing. It’s disapointing and I don’t beleive i’ll buy any bethesda games in the future since I’ll have a bugged game with no patch and no updates, which I deserve since I payed full price for this game.

Left by Jordy - The Netherlands on November 26th, 2008

I agree with Steven, seeing as the PS3 inevitably loses out to Ol’ Bill’s wallet, how about the PS3 gets something that is good but not as good as the rest, like usual:
-Trophy Patch (Replay value)
-Stability Patch (General Fun)
-Ability to play after, obviously at a state where the main story hasnt affected the protagonist.

As an xbox 360 owner, what I would really like and would pay money for is a character/inventory editor to additem like the pc gamers get to do. There were so many things in the game that I was unable to accomplish because one of the stats was too low or my attributes were not high enough. If bethesda release an editor for the xbox, I would jump on that in a heartbeat!

Left by Maldenya on November 26th, 2008

I guess the PS3 can get this stuff when the GOTY edition rolls out. Locking content that people are willing to pay additional money for to a specific couple of platforms seem foolish. However it is your business model, not mine, so you must be making it up on the back-end somewhere.

Last time I checked PS3 owners have money too.

Left by Jason on November 26th, 2008

I’m also sad the content won’t be coming to the PS3. Exclusives like this on multiplatform games end up hurting consumers in the end. I’d almost rather game developers only develop for the platforms that will receive all of the content.

Oh well, I suppose the best way to protest would be to keep my money. I won’t be buying Microsoft products for these exclusives. I’ll continue to pay for what I can get on the PS3. Hopefully this will be the trend for all PS3 owners, and exclusives like this will become less frequent eventually. Who knows …

Left by NeoSimkin on November 26th, 2008

If Bethesda doesn’t do something for the PS3 fanbase, this may be my last Bethesda game I buy. This saddens me since Morrowind and Oblivion are among my favorite games of all times but I’m not going to continue supporting a company that deliberately ignores customers like this. They screwed PS3 owners with Oblivion and they’re doing it again with Fallout 3.

Left by Jef on November 26th, 2008

@Zero_Phoenix:
Well I don’t know what questionable content discussions there are on the 360, but Sony has shown they are fine with user generated content in general with Little Big Planet and Unreal Tournament, and uncontrolled user generated content specifically with Unreal Tournament, so no reason why Fallout should be different. No reason for Bethesda to deny access to mods to PS3 users content just because Microsoft doesn’t want it on their platform.

Left by Christian on November 27th, 2008

Bethesda is complicit in harming the gaming industry by agreeing to these exclusivity deals with Microsoft. If more people go with the Xbox because they’re denied access to DLC with their PS3 then it will lead to reduced PS3 sales, which in turn will further dissuade developers from working on games and content for the PS3. The PS3 could then end up as a dead duck, therefore depriving gamers and the gaming industry of choice and competition.

Left by Jonathan on November 27th, 2008

I am done. I need more. Fallout 3 is the game made for me. It is perfect. Please, release the DLC for PS3. I do not care if it is one year later, just release it.

Thank you Bethesda for ruining the Fallout 3 PS3 version, really thank you.

I am sorely disappointed by your decision to not give the PS3 version any downloadable content. Hopefully you will reverse your decision, as I, as well as many other FO3 players on the PS3, would love to be able to continue past the end of the game. You would think that because we also bought the same game, we would also be entitled to the exact same content as those who bought it for the 360 or PC.

Im not even that annoyed that we arn’t getting the DLC, you guys where obviously bribed by microsoft, but can you please just fix some of the stuff on ps3 rather than just leaving it to rot like you did with oblivion. Seriously, the game freezing for 3 seconds everytime someone signs in is a pain the youknowwhat

Left by stevok777 on November 30th, 2008

People, you need to remember that this is business. Yeah, it would be great if everyone could get along, but the market is competitive. Bethesda does not hate their customer base on the PS3 - that’s just foolish talk. What happened, I think, is that the company made a business decision that involved supporting certain platforms over others in an effort to increase profitability. Don’t take it personally. What if Sony had made a similar deal with Bethesda? (Why didn’t Sony make a deal?)

I looked online and I can’t find details of the agreement between MS and Bethesda, but who’s to say the exclusivity is permanent? Maybe you PS3 owners will get the content in the summer. In any case, please try and remember that stuff like this isn’t a personal attack. Business is business, and the market ebbs and flows. For example, I always preferred Sega consoles over Sony and Nintendo consoles, but we all know how that ended up. I reacted to the market by buying an Xbox (because I still didn’t like Sony or Nintendo), and it seems my decision is paying off. That’s how the market works…

No matter what else, please just stop whining about being a victim. Lack of PS3 support isn’t something new or unexpected. PS3 support has been low since launch. Why would anyone expect radical changes now? Things haven’t really improved in the market, and Sony isn’t slinging cash for exclusive deals (or playing the market well at all, truth be told). Honestly, if you all really want the updates ASAP, then buy a new PC or Xbox 360. Otherwise, wait and see what happens. OR - and this is probably the best idea - go and sling mud at Sony for not getting THEIR act together instead of complaining to the wrong people.

Bethesda, great job on the game! I can’t wait for the new DLC. I hope you keep supporting the franchise well into the future.

Left by Eric on November 30th, 2008

Look Forward to G.E.C.K and keep up the execellent entertainment.

Left by Mikhail Busch on December 1st, 2008

I understand it’s a business decision to take Microsoft’s exclusivity money. However, I’m making my own business decision and never buy from a company that makes me feel like a second class citizen. This is a great game but it’s a shame it’s so buggy and a whole group of their customers gets so blatantly disrespected.

What would you expect them to say to us PS3 users? “Hey sorry guys we are so sorry you can’t get the DLC.” They don’t care! They were paid off and couldn’t be happier right now. Trust me when I say there isn’t a single person from Bethesda who is losing any sleep over their justifiably disgruntled PS3 fanbase.

Left by Jim on December 3rd, 2008

It was well known long before release that the PS3 wouldn’t have DLC. You should have done some research on this game and the console you bought it for as well. When the PS3 was released it was made clear very quickly that the difficulties in programing would result in poor third party support for the life of the console. Face it you have purchased the least supported platform on the market. You have made your decision informed or not and now you must live with it. Because of these facts your complaints fall on deaf ears around here so as was said already, go tell it to Sony.

Fallout 3 is the best game I have ever played, period. I am very disappointed to find out there will be now DLC support for the PS3. All of the Xbox Exclusive DLC is a joke, and not fair to the consumer. I really hope you come to your senses and support the PS3 instead of the “money hat”. If DLC was released, I would buy it in a minute. My credit card is waiting…

Left by macgyver4ever on December 11th, 2008

M$ has screwed over PS3 owners again. Thank You Bethesda for giving in to M$. It’s such a amazing game and the DLC look awesome but I know this is all for money. Bethesda will release a GOTY edition for $60 forcing PS3 owners to buy it again giving them more money. When a company decided to release exclusive DLC it feels as if the company doesn’t care about the consumer at all. As long as they get a Big Check from Bill there happy to screw me over.

Left by Reno on January 2nd, 2009

When i first discovered that Fallout3 was coming to PS3 i jumped head over heals and went nuts. When i heard about Operation Anchorage, Broken Steel, and The Pitt, i again went head over heals and started drooling. And to say i’m dissappointed about the exclusitivity of the content for 360 would be an understatement.

After reading most of the information about the fallout3 project when it was still in developement, i came across something that brought my faith into bethesda. You claimed that you wanted to keep an the same feel of the original fallout that black isle had created long ago. and you achieved greatly.

The difference is, Black Isle would never have limited its DLC to certain systems, and i feel that you have stepped on the hearts of many fans of the series and walked all over them w/o shame or remorse.

Plenty of people agree that this content should be available for DLC, but its your decision to make, so have a heart and embrace that which is the PS3!!!

Left by NineFingeredJake on January 2nd, 2009

You disappoint me. Why didnt you put a big, obnoxious, red No Addons sticker on my PS3 Copy. I would have bought the PC version to be able to get the DLC. Instead you steal my money and cheat me out of expansions.

Left by Garrett on January 7th, 2009

So basically as a PS3 owner I’m going to have to wait until whatever award version of the game comes out in the Spring and buy the game over again? Yay.

Come on, Bethesda. Either support the PS3 or don’t. I should have learned my lesson with Oblivion…but at least I got the Shivering Isles expansion. Right now it’s nothing but the cold shoulder from you to PS3 owners. I have the feeling that I’m just going to look at Bethesda products as PC/Xbox exclusives that I completely ignore from now on.

Left by Beene on January 7th, 2009

Who cares if they decide not to support ps3, bethesda staff stopped being gamers and have embraced their inner yuppie.

Left by The Bloody-Nine on January 7th, 2009

Well i can see theres no point keeping them so i put oblivion and fallout up on ebay. You could have at least made a definitive statement by now but no. Im never buying another bethesda game again no matter how good they are cause i know youll just screw us over for the xbox and the PC.

Left by keats95 on January 13th, 2009

Just as a fan of the work from Arena and Daggerfall, to Bloodmoon and Oblivion I would just like to thank you (I don’t know about TRULY thanking you guys, as I’ve wasted half of my life figuring out those game, as well as Fallout 3 and the Anchorage DLC) for always putting out where it counts, I’ve never been disappointed and maybe some of the Fallout 3 content hasn’t been compltetely canon with the previous installments,(why was the T-51b better than the Advanced Enclave Power Armor?) still a great addition to the serious and totally worthy of game of the year. Although seeing Bob and Harold like that tore my heart up. </3

Left by daniel taylor on February 10th, 2009

Again i have to throw my hat in, the PS3 release of Fallout 3 has been abandoned after launch, because Bethesda has become loyal to one format, makes you wonder was it a rockstar GTA style cash for extras deal, or do Bethesda really hate the PS3 or its fanbase, yes Criterion should be held up in praise as there Multiformat games, have received content after launch, I was a pc owner of Oblivion and have all its expansions and enjoyed them all, I ended up with the PS3 fallout as it was purchased for me as a gift so i didnt get the PC one which i could have run, and guess what, thats exactly where the revenue stream dries up for me on this one, Id have gladly bought more content if it was up to the maingame and the Oblivion extras, but i may steer clear of future Bethesda products now, whose to know later PC fallouts or TES games will only get content on whatever console MS churns out next, or maybe Sony will be market leaders again next gen, and Bethesda will back that horse. Dont abandon the PS3 Fallout owners, isnt repeat business and good word of mouth and the companies rep worth more than whatever MS or business decision led to the abadnonware status of PS3 Fallout 3, bethesda arent alone in this though Exclusive DLC has to be an internal MS strategy to hurt the PS3.

Left by XisorShadow on March 24th, 2009

PS, I still though Fallout 3 was awesome, my housemate has the PC version so ive played a good chunk of both versions and yes the PS3 is rougher around the edges so to speak but isnt the XB360 one when compared to the PC, but i must add awesome job from the team, the games a really good sci fi rpg, and lives up to fallouts legacy, even if its different in playstyle, it nailed the feel of Black Isles universe.

Left by XisorShadow on March 24th, 2009

Thanks for screwing PS3 owners YET AGAIN. Needless to say I won’t be purchasing the DLC for Fallout 3. So hurry up and get to work on Elder Scrolls V. I’ll be sure to get that one on 360, as loathe as I am to spend more money on a company that has screwed me over twice.

Left by Robert Silvers on April 3rd, 2009

I loved Oblivion. By far my favorite game of all time. I can not express the level of frustration I felt when I learned that PS3 owners would not receive DLC. Now you are doing this again with Fallout. I bought a PS3 because it is the best system, I will not buy another system period. Please stop this exclusivity with platforms. You are alienating your fans. I want to play Fallout 3 very badly, but I will not buy it until Bethesda treats PS3 owners fairly. Please listen to us.

Left by Suraj Pandya on April 21st, 2009

I feel the same as Suraj why single out the content to owners of microsoft and pc,make it happen for ps3 owners as well.I as well enjoyed Oblivion very great rpg,but I won’t buy Fallout 3 either because of the fact there is no DLC for the platform,i once owned an Xbox but for the simple fact its expensive to own and not reliable.Two of my friends have a Xbox and and they both had to return their console to the company because of malfuntions and causing a ring-like scratch on the disc.So in any case listen to the people of the community and make it available for all systems.
