PS3 Fallout 3 A Bit Broken

Mike Fahey of Kotaku writes:

"Complaints of choppy frame rates and graphical glitches are peppered throughout Bethesda's forums for the game, with others complaining about random lock ups and various other issues - textures not loading, significant slowdown etc. Two major bugs have already been addressed by Bethesda in the forums, one concerning the game freezing during the GOAT test earlier in the game, and another dealing with the game pausing whenever a PS3 notification occurs. The first issue can apparently be solved by saving and restarting, while they suggest turning off notifications in the XMB for the second. "

ps3 win 360 loss6331d ago

who is going to buy this game on the ps3 any way. with all of the good game coming to it exclusively

Capital G6331d ago (Edited 6331d ago )

well ps3 exclusives tend to be a tad.....delayed

Stubacca6331d ago

I loved Oblivion and I'm already lovin Fallout 3. I've only noticed the message pop-up issue! It's soooo annoying but the game is still worth a play. Will keep me occupied till LBP.

All PS3 exclusives are always worth the wait!

donator6331d ago

I've played with the XMB on... it freezes for like 20 seconds and then everything is fine. I've never had to restart the game.

Xelai6331d ago

But the intellectual chick seems to think that just wearing Sarah Pallin glasses makes her smart, and the thinks that having an a D cup boob job makes her look beautiful, but she is looking gross and she is all looks and no substance, and the big problem is her attitude.
The nice pretty girl by the way is just awesome in bed.

Nice comparison and spot on hehehe.

Dino6331d ago

what the hell are you talking about?

Palodios6330d ago

I keep mentioning it everwhere, but this game is not broken, so far I've actually encountered FEWER GLITCHES than in Oblivion, and the graphics are still pretty sweet. Stop letting fanboys write articles because of one little GOAT glitch (which the game AUTOSAVES IMMEDIATELY BEFORE).

We all know Kotaku can't afford a Ps3,hence their constant b!tching on everything Sony.

I propose we,the majority of N4G,start a fund.We shall call it the "Ps3 for Floptaku" fund

darx6331d ago

you don't know anything about vcideo games.

PS3rd the Turd6331d ago

PS3rd SUCK BALLS AND THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT!!!1

CyberSentinel6331d ago (Edited 6331d ago )

...Your NOT supposed to talk about things like that, or tell the truth, or have an honest opinion. Be like the other sell out for advertisement dollar websites, and just "downplay" the truth.

Blind Kotaku, Be More Like IGN and Cover Up!

FBl6331d ago

"Superior version of Fallout 3 looks and plays best just as expected"

FBl6331d ago

Bethesda would not be able to post a profit

PimpHandHappy6331d ago

how is it i see you fukn face at the top of every fukn thread!

wtf dude

get a fukn life or take your own and end it

What are you other N4G names? Im sure you have atleast 3

your a fukn tool that servers no purpose! Welcome to my ignore list you fukn turdsniffere!

i think your PP and you just want to have a luagh! Thing is you laugh like a lunitic and your crazy!

ActionBastard6331d ago

Sony didn't build the engine. This isn't Bethesda's freshman attempt at the PS3. And all 3 versions are riddled with bugs. But you're right, blame Sony. Makes total sense.

Captain Tuttle6331d ago

Well it's not the first multiplatform game to perform poorly on the PS3. It must be the "lazy" developers then.

Barreldragon006331d ago (Edited 6331d ago )

It is the first game to freeze for a bit while you get the PSN notifications (my only problem with the game) and for that i do blame Bethesda how could they have not known about this some where down the line they had to have poped it in to a PS3 connected online and seen this and they just ignored it.

gambare6331d ago (Edited 6331d ago )

well... more than "lazy" let me put it this way:

you have two chicks, one simple and pretty, the other complex beautiful and intellectual, you make your move on the simple and pretty girl and works, you get third base etc. But, after that you try to make the same move on the complex girl, she simply F you hard. Why? you didn't make more or less effort on one or the other, you simply can't work both the same way, each one requires a different treatment, but you already have the experience on the simple and pretty girl, because they are more "common", the complex one isn't common, and maybe you don't found "fun" the challenge in learn how to reach a complex minded girl and keep approaching to simple girls.

Leathersoup6331d ago

Actually it's amusing how one group of people keep calling developers "lazy" for not getting it right on the PS3.
They refer to the 360 as an "easy chick" and the PS3 as a "complex" chick. Well that's almost right. Sony has admitted that their software and hardware people weren't talking to each other during the console's development. As a result the API, SDK or whatever you want to call the product that is used to develop software for the PS3, is messed up.
So to call PS3 "complex" in a good sense isn't too far off. It's just that the PS3 isn't so much a genius, as it is autistic.

Yipee Bog6331d ago

If my rainman can play resistance and killzone I'm happy

crackling6331d ago

Yes, like any good ps3 fanboy- name your 2-3 exclusives that aren't even out yet as an obvious statement of your consoles superiority.

just telling it like it is (i have a ps3, sad how i have to reiterate that in any post critical of ps3)

bottom line- ps3 version has issues, and oblivion is not fallout 3 even though they are made by the same company

Fallout 3 Remaster Is Allegedly Planned For Release At Some Point In The Future

A remaster of Bethesda Game Studios' 2008 action role-playing game, Fallout 3, is planned for release at some point in the future.

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.

cloganart52d ago

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

walken752d ago

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

Snookies1253d ago (Edited 53d 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.

Michiel198952d 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_52d 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

jznrpg52d ago

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

Christopher52d ago

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

BlaqMagiq152d 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.

jambola124d ago

Why exactly do you think you deserve it??

Phoenix76124d ago

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

gigoran8124d 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

1nsomniac124d 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.

UltimateOwnage124d 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.

Fallout 3 designer expects remaster to revise gunplay to make it closer to Fallout 4

neutralgamer1992312d ago

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

ZeekQuattro312d 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.
