Every time I've seen Fallout 3 in action, it's been on the Xbox 360. From the earliest playthrough demos right up to last motnh's E3 Expo, I've yet to see anyone controlling Fallout 3 with anything other than a white 360 controller. Speaking to TechRadar UK in London, Bethesda's Pete Hines explains away the 360 love.

"If you have the PC as your lead machine you have the problem of not knowing what configurations people have, how many gigs of RAM or what graphics card they have," explained Hines. "Obviously we are more familiar with the Xbox because we are familiar and the other thing is that the Xbox is much easier to take to tech shows. We can just pop the hard-drive off the Xbox and put it on any machine which is an advantage. Taking the PC or PS3 to these things just isn't convenient."

 

Later on in the interview, Hines reinforces the fact that exclusive DLC for the Xbox 360 and PC actually means exclusive, and confirmed that Fallout 3 isn't going to be the end of the Fallout franchise.

"We didn't buy the Fallout franchise to just do Fallout 3 and then stop," he said. "But let's get this one out of the door before we worry about the next one."

Screw you Bethesda, maybe you should actually hire some talent so that you won't have to complain for your own limitations.

^ What's the problem? He's just saying it is easier to transport a 360 than a PS3/PC. MS has given them money for exclusive content, the least they can do is demo the game on the 360.

So exclusive content is exclusive and not timed. He also mentions that there is more Fallout to come. Do you think it will be DLC like episodes of Half life 2?

How can the DLC be exclusive if it is coming to two platforms?

HL2 episodes were never DLC...they're basically segmented sequels.

angry much?

this game looks good.

Thanks Bethesda, for making Oblivion on PS3 with substantially less pop up and more lighting effects for PS3.

It's exclusive to the 360 since it's not coming to the PS3 and Wii and it's exclusive to the PC because it's not coming to the Mac.

Many publishers talk like this when referring to games shared by PC and 360. It probably has to do with Microsoft having their hands so strongly in both.
