Fallout 3 DLC will not be available on PS3

I'm sure it was paid. Perhaps there was the ease of additional development? The 360 is easier to develop for since it is so similar to PC development.

it is a complete lack of faith in their install base. Im sure it is a personal thing on microsofts part because they got rubbed out last gen by the PS2. So they are doing everything they can, which is throwing money around to stay in the game.

I do not blame developers for wanting money but there is a line you draw to keep you and your companies dignity.

Do yourself a favour and boycott the PS3 version. Buy the PC version.

yes, pay an extra few hundred bucks and upgrade your computer for Fallout 3.

also this just in: Portal: Still Alive is exclusive to 360 this fall.

just sayin.

I'm pretty sure Bethesda supports Linux even less than the PS3 version.

Boycotting it won't help. In fact, if by some miracle, the PS3 version sold more than the 360 version, I'm sure that Bethesda would regret that choice, at least a little, as there is a ton of revenue in DLC that they'd be missing out on.

I'd rather see PS3 games sell lots... Maybe it's part of the reason we get the shitty end of the stick, because people boycott good games.

Upgrade? I've had my PC for almost a year now, it plays crysis at High settings at a steady 30fps. That cost me less than 1k. You could spend 600 on a PC now and play Fallout 3 at better framerates than that.

Or.... I could just buy the PS3 version for $60 and play it in HD on my LCD TV... My PCs run Linux and are outdated when it comes to gaming (like.. 2001 or 2002 was the last time I needed to upgrade). Not everyone runs Windows and not everyone wants to try keeping a PC current to game. That's why I have a PS3 to begin with.

like i said, upgrade to a few hundred more on your PC if you are looking at a console as your system to run Fallout 3, if you care about substantial content that is.

I'm sick of the PC gaming is too expensive BS. Back in the day, yeah, it was insanely expensive. Now? An awesome videocard costs 200 or less, ram costs 40$ for 2GB, motherboards are under 100$, harddrives 50$, PSUs are 50, dvd drive is 30, cpu 150-200.. 650$ for a decent PC. add 200 for a decent monitor. looking at a max of 900$ for a great crysis (at high settings) capable PC. Consoles? Well, 300-350 for a 360, 400 for a PS3. Then, a TV? minimum 600$ for a 32 inch. Hmmm... SAME GODDAMN PRICE

I didn't say it was TOO expensive, I said I don't run Windows. You tell me if Bethesda is porting the fucking game to Linux, and if they are, then I'll buy a brand new PC. Otherwise, shut the hell up. I don't want to run that piece of shit operating system.

It's easy to dual boot. Currently triple booting (XP, Ubuntu, Vista). I agree that spending 60$ is much cheaper, but I couldn't have any clue what kind of PC you have. But for me, the PC version is the best choice, considering it will look better than console versions and at better framerates.

But still, this kind of exclusivity BS should not be supported. It's a childish maneuver, and it goes to show that once again the publishers and higher ups care more about money than they do sharing an experience with everyone equally.

@wicko: don't you think that "supporting" this "exclusive" bs would be BUYING the "exclusive" content on one of the platforms it IS on, rather than buying the game and never getting the DLC? That's logical to me...

that's not even my point! if you pay for one way to play this game (PS3), then you go for another route because you want the content that is exclusive (PC) then you will be paying extra to upgrade your computer.

i'm assuming the OP didn't have another way of playing Fallout 3 because he is buying the PS3 version as if that is his way of playing next gen games.

I didn't say to buy the DLC. Just get a different version. And by Buy, I secretly meant pirate.

@ryan: you're right. I have a Wii, a PS3, and three PCs (all of which are running Linux exclusively since 2002, and are outdated hardware). I *could* upgrade my systems and yes, it is easy to dual-boot Windows, but I don't want to upgrade, and I don't want to touch Windows. I haven't even had to use Windows at work for years. It's foreign to me now, and all I really remember about it was headaches. I'll happily play Fallout 3 on the PS3, and I won't support the exclusive DLC, simply because I don't have the option to (Bethesda's loss).

Just like GTAIV, I'll be busy with other games by the time the DLC hits. Burnout Paradise is proving to me that once I'm basically done with a game, I really don't care much about it anymore.

@ wicko...

iunno man you make some kinda dumb arguements because I COULD say, hey, if you got a ps3, you already have a great computer (see installing linux on a ps3-- further more look up installing windows ontop of linux) so that way people who already have a ps3 technically already have a good computer. And if you have a ps3, you already have a tv. And $200 does NOT get you an "Awsome" video card. I have a $2000 Nvidia Quadro 4600 that is actually "awsome" and it aint even top of the line. When you spend $200 at bestbuy or whatever your paying for last year's mid end cards. Go to nvidia's or ati's website and tell me if you ever seen like the top 5 cards in a product line in stores. You wont, because they are the "Awsome" ones that dont sell well the average joe.

You also forget not everyone knows computer specs like we do and may not know about all this stuff much less what their new computer should have. Then on top of that, most people in that category go to like bestbuy to buy thier computer where up until like the last 6 months would be waaay over priced for dated technology. Hardly the way to go in my eyes. Specially now that you cant even take advantage of DirectX 10 (and in comming weeks DirectX11) unless you have vista or windows 7. So that means those xp machines literally are limited graphically while vista has compadibility issues (lots with nvidia) and obviously windows 7 aint out till 2009-2010. Still think upgrading/buying a new pc is the easier than just buying a ps3?

If you're only getting 30FPS on Crysis, maybe you should turn your graphics down and stop bragging?

Unless that console is market leader with a high install base and high attachment rate. ¬_¬

@ Mav..

Which it is not....

or it could be used to buy fancy cars , you know instead of buying exclusive DLC that won't be out till people stop being interested in the game .

The key thing is not to cave into these Xbox bastards and buy the 360 version. We got to hold out and wait for the ps3 or at the very least, the PC version if possible.

This's what I hate about Microsoft...just b/c they have a big war stash, they feel like they can just buy through way through any industry.

uhh... i'm sure they would, since they're FIRST and no one else has taken the stage... we'll see who owns who tomorrow after Ninty and Sony get their chance.

lol owning with some DLC for portal and Fall Out. The rest is just copying Sony and Nintendo.

Owning?? Are you insane?? Has sony even presented?? nintendo??

Dude, you truly are a loser.

SDF ANGRY

so the executive producer of Fallout 3 saying how much he loves the XBLM to give content for it = MS having a hissy fit?...doesn't seem like they are the ones feeling butt hurt here...

noooo course not thats why M$ are throwing money at anything that hints at ps3 exclusivity till it goes away

That'll have the opposite of the effect we want. We want them to regret not giving us the chance to pay for DLC. Instead, we should all make sure to buy the PS3 version and not the 360 version. That way they'll see there's plenty of demand on the PS3 side.

Although I like the idea of trying to punish game makers for putting exclusive content in a cross platform game, there's not really any effective way of doing it. Boycotting just means they'll think they were justified in screwing over the PS3 users who "don't buy games anyway".

Instead we need to raise holy hell any time this kind of BS happens. Let them know we're pissed and that it reflects badly on their company.

the key is we get OTHER games more so if there muti
if they see we dont like being given sup par ports and
lesser copys of games they will NOT change
they most likely will not see any $$ from the dowloads as M$ paid for it

yo nate
i agree with you
but with a site like ps3fanboy if we all stick together
they'll know that we didnt buy it bcuz of the lack of consideration for the ps3 gamers...
we can make diference i guess, if we all do the same thing and advise sites like ps3blog and stuff

lmao! NICE ONE!
