Talk Playstation 3 News

The future is looking bright. It took a while, some rumours, maybe even the effect of a petition. But Fallout 3 on the PlayStation 3 is finally getting some downloadable content from Bethesda. In an official press release they said that they had been working on it for a while to implement for the PlayStation 3.

“Operation: Anchorage” will come out late June, with “The Pitt” and “Broken Steel” expansions following weeks later. We’ll get a more exact date in the future.
In order to play these upcoming DLC’s Bethesda will release a update for the PS3.

They also announced two new DLC’s we can expect. This will be “Point Lookout” which will be available after the release of the first three DLC’s. Followed by “Mothership Zeta”. Both will cost $9.99 .
In “Point Lookout” you will explore a massive new swampland area filled with new quests and content. In “Mothership Zeta” you’ll be abducted and find out if you’re tough enough to survive.

That’s the question Naughty Dog is asking through twitter.

Though we missed a special/collectors edition with Killzone 2, God of War III will definitely be getting one. Now the question remains if gamers value a 80 plus euro/pound/dollar edition, which usually included an art book and a behind the scene’s disc.

But is that all we want in a special edition? For me no. Example, Fallout 3. The lunch box and bobble head made the choice for my purchase. Grand Theft Auto 4 also had it with the bag, locker box and key chain.
Such special/collector edition make it worth getting.

But what can you include in a Uncharted edition? You tell us.

While the PC and Xbox 360 owners can enjoy three upcoming downloadable contents packs for Fallout 3, PS3 owners are left behind. Last time I check there were three petitions for Bethesda to release DLC’s for the PlayStation 3 as well. No luck so far. But now PS3 owners are kicked in the chin again.

Many Fallout 3 players complained about not being able to continue the game after completing the main story. Bethesda responded and through the upcoming ‘expansions’ players will now be able to continue to roam the wasteland after *spoiler*spoiler*. PC and Xbox owners that is. MTV Multiplayer contacted Bethesda about this also being added to the PS3 version and they got a response from Fallout 3 producer, Todd Howard.

Not at this time, no

So is there still hope for PS3 owners to complete all unfinished side quests. We hope there is but time will tell while we wait for change.

This is a different type of gold were talking about. ELSPA (Entertainment & Leisure Software Publishers Association) based in londen has given LittleBigPLanet a gold status as they do with all games that sell more then 200,000 units in the UK.

LittleBigPlanet may not be the big console seller as many thought but it is still selling steadily week after week. Also having one of the biggest user-made content base we expect them to hit platinum (300,000 and more) before the summer.

ELSPA operates in a way that each games released on a separate platform gets an individual status. For example the Fallout 3 version of the PS3 is stuck as silver while the 360 version has recieved gold.

Our favourite online store Play.com is at it again, this time with a Monster sale with prices starting as low as £9,99 (€13,99). Seems some stores are trying to make sure the gamers don’t notice too much of the current financial problems in the world with these prices their throwing at us. Only thing is, you’ll need to know when these days are.

The games that caught our eyes were:

Prince of Persia (£17.99)
Midnight Club: Los Angeles (£17.99)
Far Cry 2 (£17.99)
Bioshock (£17.99)
LittleBigPlanet £24.99

Since I already gave myself LittleBigPlanet and Pacific Rift as christmas gift, I’ll be looking which ones will start off my New Year. Fallout 3 is already in my basket.

From time to time we’ll post some interesting sales of games or accessories to help ease the pain in current times

Bethesda Softworks Pete Hines has been answering user questions over at Eurogamer. One of the questions asked was if the PS3 version of Fallout 3 will have trophy support. The answer is yes but not from day 1, but it is coming.

trisrobb asks: Will the PS3 version receive Trophy support in the future?

Pete Hines: It’s going to happen, just not sure when. We’ll let folks know when we have something more definitive.

No word on when the trophy patch will be available though, probably next year.

Bethesda’s Peter Hines spoke with VG247 at the Games Convention 2008 saying that you will not be seeing just one more Fallout but you should be thinking along the lines of EA and FIFA.

Hines said:

“That’s why we bought it,”

“We didn’t buy it just to do one and then to never anything again. So it’s sort of like confirming there might be another FIFA next year. It’s their franchise and they’re going to do another one. We bought it for the purposes of doing another one. If we were just going to do one, there’s any number of things we probably could have done differently.”

Fallout 3 will be released in October for the US and Europe and then December in Japan.

Remember when Fallout 3 got banned in Australia? The ban has now been lifted, the game originally got banned for its in-game drug use.

Fallout 3 was re-submitted to The Office of Film and Literature Classification with changes to the game that allowed it to be classified as an MA +15 rating.

The ruling came as the game depicted the player receiving beneficial effects due to drug use, such as morphine, while in combat. The OFLC also cites the realistic depictions of drug paraphernalia led to its ban.

The people in Australia can now start looking forwards to the game.

In Bethesda’s upcoming RPG, Fallout 3, there is to be 500 different variations to end the game. Speaking with TotalVideoGames.com, Pete Hines speak about Fallout 3. The game is to last around 20-100 hours depending on what you do, but 500 endings?

TVG: Err… no, just end states, as in the final scenes. Is there a good and an evil ending, for example?

Oh, no, it’s a whole mix. I mean the number of variations is over 500, but that’s of all the different permutations you can have of each different variable and what you did at each point. I don’t know how many of those there are (I haven’t gone back to look), but it takes into account any number of things you’ve done from early in the game, right up to when the game ends – it takes into account all of that stuff.

Looks like Fallout 3 will have plenty of replay value.

Speaking with Venturebeat, Todd Howard, Fallout 3’s Executive Producer thinks that 3 years is a good time frame for the next game, Fallout 4.

VB: What is a good timeframe for “Fallout.” Would you wait another 10 years for “Fallout 4”?

TH: No, that’s too long. I think it depends on the game. Sometimes you just know that the time is right. If they’re big games, I think three years is a good timeframe. But at the same time, the “GTAs” on the PS2 were big games. “GTA III” came out and “Vice City” came out 10 months later and I liked that game more. You can argue both sides of it. I think for us, we’d rather take our time with them and let people miss the last one or forget the other one a little bit, because we also like to change things a lot.

Fallout 3 isn’t even released yet and we’re already talking about Fallout 4?

Here’s 10 screenshots of Fallout 3 that was show at E3 2008. Enjoy.
