Bethesda Lied About Fallout 3 DRM?

Bethesda's Pete Hines said, when asked about Fallout 3 DRM; "we basically don't do any–we do the mildest form possible.".

As it turns out, it's got SecuROM 7. Oops.

they are like EA. They care only about money.

TheForgotten0ne6412d ago

They are like any other cooperation you mean?

TheIneffableBob6412d ago

TES IV: Oblivion was like this, too.

Fallout 3's DRM is pretty tame compared to the activation-based SecuROM DRM. With Fallout 3, I believe it's simply a CD-check and the so-called "piracy tools" check.

killalot1006412d ago

i tried putting in the live access key in my other vista account and it didnt let me. its on the same machine for f@#% sakes. other then that the game runs very good and i havent had any problems at all and thats rare for pc gaming.

kevnb6412d ago

I have had plenty of pc games that work fine.

TheForgotten0ne6412d ago (Edited 6412d ago )

Damn posted wrong place, but guess I can comment on this anyways.

It's rare for PC gaming that it works fine? Thats what is often the case with PC games. They work better and before they had more updates then console games.

wardrox6412d ago

As seems to be the way with these games. DRM always seems to add more trouble than it fixes imho.

BludoTheSmelly6412d ago

It installed without any issues?

zonetrooper56412d ago

If it was a simple CD key check then it would be fine but I'm against SecuROM as it harms machines more then it does good. Look at World In Conflict, Steam or Company of Heroes for a fair and effective way of DRM in games.

EvilCackle6412d ago

I expected a few hundred more comments on this. I guess the angry DRM mob is over at Amazon.com trying to give the game one-star reviews or something.

Would be nice if they had New Vegas ready as well, especially because of the show.

Hopefully this doesn't have the same performance issues as Oblivion Remastered.

cloganart131d ago

I haven't seen anything on these performance issues? What's been going on?

walken7130d ago

Probably the Unreal Engine issues, I skipped it for that reason.

Snookies12131d ago (Edited 131d ago )

Throw in all the DLC as well, like Oblivion and I'll definitely bite. I recall having one trophy left to unlock on the PS3 version with 100+ hours in my save. When my save file got corrupted, lol. Very sad day.

To be fair though, Bethesda was trash at Playstation ports anyway.

Michiel1989131d ago

all devs sucked at porting to ps3 for the first like 3 years because no one had experience with the cell architecture. Even 1st party took a long while to get proficient with it, the difference between uncharted 1 and 3 is massive for example.

Extermin8or3_131d ago

Oh oh oh I can do this too. GTA 7 will be made at some point in the future. Fallout 5 will enter development in the future too

jznrpg131d ago

Everyone there should know most gamers want New Vegas and Morrowind more than anything.

Christopher131d ago

Which is why we won't get them. Gotta keep floating "support this one and it might happen".

BlaqMagiq1131d ago

Can't wait. Won't have to go back to my PS3 to play this when it comes out.

Fallout 3 remastered on the Nintendo Switch 2 is what we deserve, not the worst Fallout game

Fallout Day's disappointing news that Fallout 4 is coming to Switch 2 is a shame, as this 17-year-old entry is more deserving of a new port.

Why exactly do you think you deserve it??

Phoenix76203d ago

Fallout 4 isn't the worst game in the franchise. It's either Fallout 76 or Fallout BOS that's the worst.

gigoran8203d ago

PC and all other modern consoles never got a remaster of 3, but obviously the switch 2 was the tipping point to make it a reality... ahuh

1nsomniac202d ago

Meh, I thought 3 was garbage. I'm not a great fan of the franchise to be fair. They're like B-Movie films, really shallow and janky. 4 was definitely one of the better ones though.

UltimateOwnage202d ago

So the article makes a snippy entitled statement and acts like that is going to encourage a publisher to give them what they want. Okay.

Give us FO3 with all the dlc remastered like ESO. Load times faster, quality of life improvements, gun play improvements

I believe it shouldn't just be graphical they should make improvements where they can to make the game better. A simple face lift isn't what's needed

ZeekQuattro390d ago

Still my favorite one. I remember getting a digital copy of FO3 when I got FO4(XBO). It was nice to finally play a stable version of the game. Then when I got a Series S it was an even better expierence. Quick resume and FPS boost made it feel like a whole new game. Updated gunplay would be very welcome though. One of the few things FO4 did better.
