Fallout 3 Trophy Support Confirmed For PS3

In a recent interview with Eurogamer, Bethesda's Pete Hines, after being asked whether or not Fallout 3 will be receiving trophy support, responded with the following: "It's going to happen, just not sure when. We'll let folks know when we have something more definitive." This is good news for all you PS3 gamers out there.

Whoot! I was waiting for this

now I need a patch and Ill buy fallout 3 for PS3

Elimin86412d ago

But why are these games being released without trophies only to be patched later... I mean they are welcome but damn....

LightningPS3PS36412d ago (Edited 6412d ago )

I passed on Fallout 3.

No way I will spend 30 plus hours walking around in this slow paced world with boring characters.

It's not like Final Fantasy where they try to make you fall in love with a soap opera of emo characters. That's more up my alley.

Games like Oblivion and Fallout 3 bore me.

Charmers6412d ago

@ Elimin8 - because by the time Sony got around to releasing the trophy update fallout 3 was probably at an advanced stage of completion. They of course could have delayed the PS3 version to incorporate Trophies but that would have led to much whining and complaining.

So this is the best solution give you the game now and then do a patch later for trophy support. This will of course eventually go away since Sony make it a requirement that all games from NOW must have Trophy support. But it is unfair and unrealistic to expect developers with near finished games to implement the trophy support right off the bat.

So if you want to blame anyone for this then have a go at Sony for introducing the trophies nearly 2 years AFTER they released the console.

KingME6412d ago

Why is it that trophy support still has to be announced. Why is sony still allowing developers to decide. This should be mandatory.

Lifendz6412d ago

I'll play R2 and LBP in the meanwhile. Then, when the patch is up for both trophies and the glitches, I can probably get the game used off Ebay for a fraction of the cost. Bethesda loses out on the full price retail purchase and somebody that is tired of Fallout gets my money. Win Win.

That's what happens until Devs have trophies on day one.

Elimin86412d ago (Edited 6412d ago )

Thank you for explaining, and while your point makes a lot of sense I can't help but think they should release day one... think about it... why if that is the case, when trophy patches come one week or less, maybe a day or two after the game has been release. don't you think holding it bk one day to implement trophy would be better? .. what do you think... I'm pretty sure LBP and R2 have been in development a while they had it done.... but I do understand your point....

Charmers6412d ago

It is just a short term thing, I believe if memory serves Sony is making all future games (games that started production 6 months after the Trophy firmware) mandatory in terms of Trophies. So sooner rather than later the games will come with trophy support by default just like xbox 360 games.

At the end of the day it was done this way because of the way Sony implemented the trophies, had they been ready when the console was released you wouldn't be having this problem. But I don't think it is a "big" deal the problem will go away you just have to be a bit patient and ignore those that use this as a way of scoring points in the pathetic console wars.

Yeh I should get this game for Ps3

Socom6412d ago (Edited 6412d ago )

There was once this stupid company who made a terrible terrible decision by supporting the 3rd60. By doing so, it decided to not invest in the PS3 version as much as the 3rd60 version. And the result was that their next project, a game called Fallout 3, on the PS3 was the weaker version of the two.

They knew that people would explode in forums over this. But they thought this would be offset by the fact that the 3rd60 version is going to rake in the money. In other words, they trusted the 3rd60.

Then 3 weeks before release, the thing they did not foresee happened: FALLOUT 3 3rd60 version LEAKED on the internet.

So the stupid company got exactly what was coming to them for supporting the 3rd60. On the one hand, their 3rd60 copies sales diminished by the expected sales with 20% less, and on the other hand, consumers were at an outcry for an "rushed out" PS3 version. Leaked income from one hand, leaked income in the other hand. Either way, this stupid company loses. Its like in a casino, place the wrong bet, and you lose. The house always wins.

I tell you right now, heads were rolling in the last weeks, people were yelling in a small office and people were blamed. Big boss was angry, employees were put on their place.

What this article is, is called "damage control". The stupid company has been put in their place and they are trying to appease the PS3 crowd now. They have seen how betting on the wrong horse, has gotten them in trouble.

Thats why they reversed their decision to not include trophies. Yes, this was a last minute decision. And this is because they are desperate in appeasing the PS3 userbase now.

Either way, PS3 wins once again, the house always wins.

Mr_Bun6413d ago

I'll pick this up if and when trophies are released...I picked up Bioshock over Fallout just because of the trophies.

thisguywithhair6412d ago

When the patch comes out will I have to restart my game

Bren866413d ago

isn't this like a big game? good luck to thoughs that start it all again for the trophies.

Fishy Fingers6413d ago

Depends, if your save game is locked into your PSN ID they can be made retro active.

bunbun7776413d ago

How good sir does one go about doing this? Is there a link i can educate myself with? Thx!

R2-JD6413d ago

@3.2

bunbun777 - I don't believe you can do it yourself. I think it is up to the developers whether or not the game save is locked to your PSN ID (this way you can't copy game saves)

JD

Bazookajoe_836412d ago

There are several endings and hundreds of diffrent missions, and some missions get locked if you play good and some if you play bad. It´s a really good game, and probably the goriest i ever played :-)

Darkseider6413d ago

Now if the trophy patch also included fixes for the umpteen bugs, freezes and gotchas I would even happier. Lets hope the bug fix patch comes sooner than the trophy patch though. I am lovin the game but the frequent saves/crashes/freezes/reboots are driving me insane. Ooh and before people start saying anything I have it for my PC as well and it CTDs like CRAZY in fullscreen and not as much in windowed mode. Also has a lot of the same glitches the console versions have as well.

R2-JD6413d ago

I hope the patch will fix the stupid assinine freezing that occurs everytime the XMB notification message pops up. This is the ONLY game on the PS3(that I have played) that has this issue!

JD

Motion6412d ago

I think that FarCry 2 also freezes up for a second when you get notifications. It does atleast when I get messages that my internet connection has dropped/connected.

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.

cloganart137d ago

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

walken7137d ago

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

Snookies12138d ago (Edited 138d 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.

Michiel1989137d 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_138d 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

jznrpg138d ago

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

Christopher137d ago

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

BlaqMagiq1138d 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??

Phoenix76210d ago

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

gigoran8209d 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

1nsomniac209d 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.

UltimateOwnage209d 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

ZeekQuattro397d 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.
