No Fallout 3 PS3 DLC (and what’s with all the schadenfreude?)

How many times can you tease Sony about the state of the PS3 before you become bored? The news that Bethesda won’t be developing DLC for the PS3 version of Fallout 3 has prompted me to ask this Very Important question.

So, Bethesda told MTV Multiplayer the other day, when the rest of us were too busy contemplating the post-Microsoft world, that it wasn’t considering PS3 DLC. Then, Silicon Alley Insider, predictably, used the opportunity to do one of its famous, “Wow, look how poor Sony is doing” posts. I mean, we get; Sony has seen better days. What good does writing the same story over and over again do?

Am I supposed to believe that developers are simply going to stop developing for the PS3, when development costs an arm and a leg? “You know, developing This Game cost a whole heck of a lot of money, but let’s not release it for the PS3 (and help recoup some of that cost) because we’re partisan.” I mean, really!

  • No DLC, fine! But could they at least provide us a patch to fix those bugs!? My game froze last night and I wasn’t happy.

  • I think Nicholas Deleon has a large Sony logo tattooed on his chest (over his Thug Life tattoo).

    Whenever I think I’m going to read an informative article, but only find complaining, sure enough it’s Nicholas Deleon crying/writing it. How many time do I have to read about how much Nick loves Sony and the PS3 and hates Microsoft and the XB360?! Stop whining so much with pointless articles/rants.

    Can someone fire this douche already?! I love CrunchGear, but hate Nicholas Doucheleon.

    • you’d realise that you don’t need to read what he wrote?
      you could have just skipped the post when you see something ps3 related if you are some fanboy or something. i like the 360 a lot, but that doesn’t mean i go screaming when someone complains or rants about the three red rings. i just chuckle about it.

      get a life, douche.

      • I dunno I gotta agree. I like both PS3 and 360 for different reasons, so I read anything game related. I also find it frustrating when I’m “tricked” into thinking an article is worth-while, but find half way through it that I’m reading garbage.

        I agree that if someone is hired professionally to write articles, one should keep their bias rants to themselves and report things professionally.

        …and yeah, you’re 100x more a douche.
        …and he prob does have a Sony tattoo

      • go to this site and sign the petition for dlc on the ps3

        http://www.petitiononline.com/Wave360/petition.html

    • what you may not realize is that your whining about his whining which makes you a 100x more douche than him, you butt munching dick shitter. If you dont like it dont read it.

    • I would appreciate if you keep our little rifts out of the public arena, Dad.

  • this is ridiculous, bethesda needs to stop sucking that microsoft cock!!!

  • they sad the same thing about oblivion DLC for PS3… do as I stop bying things that Bethesda develops

  • Damn it, bethesda have let their ps3 fanbase down, big time. They should at least put in an effort to fix the bugs if they arent gonna give ps3 owners dlc

  • Lame, if i knew about this i would’ve just bought the game for the PC, even if it means lowest graphic settings.

  • it because you PS3 owners are fags and don’t deserve DLC

  • go to this website if u want dlc for the ps3 and sign the petition http://www.petitiononline.com/Wave360/petition.html

  • its all money because bethesda made a huge sum of money from micro… (i dont want tell spell those cheap bastards name) to keep the DLC so microsoft go fail right now and bethesda please re think that choice or make something better for the PS3

    • Yes! Down with Bethesda! How dare they cater to the system that yielded better sales?! Why would they abandon the system that costs millions more to make software for? Why abandon the system that had at best mediocre sales?! That’s ludicrous!

      PS3 Forever!

      Sony unite!

  • micro soft must have paid through the nose to have bethesda and rockstarr snub ps3 owners for dlc on gta 4 and fo 3. show me the money!

    • Surprisingly True - May 5th, 2009 at 4:55 pm GMT+5

      Microsoft indeed paid millions and millions of dollars to have them snub PS3 owners.

      All that research money they put into making the DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENT for their system actually FRIENDLY to developers? Millions wasted just trying to snub PS3 owners!

      Why else would developers use a more robust and well rounded development environment?

  • I have nothing against 360 or ps3. im a gamer and i bought a ps3 at the time because of the blue ray. bottom line all the bullshit favoriteizm aside if a game is made for both or all systems then the dlc should be availiable on all systmes. its as simple as that. the fact that these mother fudkers are fucking the fans of the games over is absolutely wrong. congrats on being a bunch of assholes. its always just about the money. i sometimes wonder why i participate in this so called next gen gaming. fallout 3 used to be one of my favorite games. i cant beleive i cant download the new content. its funny too. because personally i blame sony for not makeing sure this didnt happen. so go ahead and continue arguing about wihich system is better like a bunch of little kids. because thats not even what really matters here…

  • FUCK YOU BETHESDA, you can all kiss my ass the people who work there. Quit fucking us over and over, we did nothing wrong just buying a reliable console. FUCK YOU DICKHEADS, I won’t be buying this game, and I’m sure many will agree, you can kiss my $$$ goodbye. If you own a ps3 and is going to put up with this bullshit, shame on you, there are BETTER games out there like Killzone 2.

  • If this favoritism doesn’t stop I am leading a boycott of all Bethesda AND Microsoft software/hardware. Don’t bother saying I’m butt hurt because I “picked the wrong system” I’d lead a boycott against Sony if the PS3 was the only system getting DLC. It’s unethical to release a game on multiple systems and then ignore one platform because it’s different, I could understand a difference in release dates because of conversion time, but not intending to release at all? That’s unbelievable, and short sighted. I loved Oblivion, I loved Fallout 3, but Bethesda needs to know better than to piss off their customers. If you own the PS3 version DON’T buy the PC or 360 version for the DLC unless you get your PS3 version refunded. They don’t deserve your money.

    • Lead Away.

    • im pretty pissed about this whole DLC issue. ur right, multiplatform games should give equal opportunity to ALL platforms. im boycotting every bethesda game. its sad to think that this whole platform issue is like a certain time in history when certain peoples were not given equal privileges.

      oh yeah, i typed this on my ps3 internet browser, just something that xbox cant do.

  • if i had known xbox money was worth more i would have bought an xbox

  • the end of gaming as we know it - May 10th, 2009 at 2:51 pm GMT+5

    Microsoft and Bethesda are ruining the gaming industry along with other companies that have exclusive dlc.
    Making games is not about passion anymore (though Bethesda claims so in interviews, the truth speaks for themselves)
    it’s about money now, just like any other business in this world now. Game developing was all about art and pleasing the fans, now it’s about money and most games made nowadays are made to make money, and microsoft and bethesda are contributing to that. Good luck with your games bethesda, but i’m not buying them anymore.

  • Not too sure how to express this inner rage that is building up inside of me. I bought the game as a PS3 owner not an XBOX owner – not only do they get a slightly better finished product but they also get a load of DLC which I can’t access. Why do this to multi platform games it just doesnt make any sense to me. I’m sure someone has to realise that this is a big mistake. I’m know fanboy but I chose the PS3 over its lame counterpart for all the right reasons – yet that little bit of shitty plastic gets what I’m missing beacuse of Mircosoft.

    Seriously this isnt what I signed up for – its not going to make me set fire to anything but from where I am sitting its just a load of bullshit- I hope whoever made this decision lives to regret cutting off the Ps3 community

  • sony’s been sucking for quite a while now and its things like this that make me never to steer in sony’s direction. i enjoy playing fallout 3 a lot its my favorite game. and this would be a low blow if i found out that the broken steel DLC wouldnt be available for my console. the blu-ray looks appealing but not compared to gameplay sorry sony fans looks like microsoft owns again.

  • Ps3 Fallout 3 DLC has been officially announced by Bethesda!Sony is in a downward trend?LOL,360 fans are starting to switch to the ps3 because they have to send in their xbox once a year to get fixed.My room mates 360 elite(which was “not supposed to have the RROD” just got the RROD about 2 weeks ago.)Meanwhile my Ps3 is about 3 years old now and running like new =).X-Box is going down,compare their list of EXCLUSIVE titles to the Sony EXCLUSIVE titles.Microsoft is done now.

    Bethesda are stealing from us. They make the game for PS3, Xthingamy and PC. Then they dont make the DLC for us!!! But, Finally, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. They have annouced a release for project anchorage on PS3!!! FINALLY!!! Our ranting has payed off, our boycot has succeeded! Micropenis dont own bethesda ne more!!!

    http://ps3.gamezone.com/gamesell/p37425.htm

    Now i say, people who have bought the Xthingamy, do not hate the PS3 for it is akin to the Xthingamy. We need to fight against the revolution of the Wii!!!

    I still dont get the war of the consoles, i think both are good and bad in their own ways. The only reason people buy Xthingamys is because of halo and the promise of good internets. The ps3 has bad internets but it is free so you have to expect that. I personally feel that the Xthingamy controllers are too heavy and using one for extended periods of gaming time could cause serious RSIs but, many say the ps3 controller is too light. It just depends on opinion and people should accept that any people want different things from a console.

  • ur all dumbasses it was anjnounced for september broken steel first
