More of like exclusive to video game consoles.

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

 

If you've played the lucasarts point'n'click's you are old enough to be wiser T_T

"Obviously we are more familiar with the Xbox because we are familiar"


Eh? Did they interview a guy working at Bethesda, or his 5-year old son?

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

 

Some people just can't let this go.  Shortly after the PS3 release of Oblivion, the 1.2 update on 360 brought the two version into parity, in particular Bethesda mentioned the much proclaimed distance rendering that was noticed on the PS3.

 

There was a disparity for approximate 4 weeks.

Had my doubts about this game... I hate the fact that some of these so called "RPG'S".... they feel more like shooters to me.... [ Third person shooters to be exact..... Am starring at you Mass Affect.....}

To be fair, didn't the game come out on the PS3 at a later date than the 360?

I don't see why everyone is so angry about this, lol.



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

Yeah try like a year later. The same thing happened with Fight Night Round 3. An extra year gives a developer a lot of time to add in some extras and/or clean the game up a bit more.

How much did you play of Mass Effect? Although it had a lot of TPS elements, if you play as a biotic/tech user, it certainly swings into the "hardcore WRPG" aspect of things. Great story and class systems too!

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."

So their reasons are that 1) they are familiar with Xbox because they are familiar with Xbox, and 2) they don't want to carry a PC or PS3 to shows?  For the rest of us, PS3's swappable standard SATA hdd beats the shit out of the 360's expensive junk hdd.

Kotaku's childish fanboyism, again confirmed.
