Couldnt care less about fallout3 !!! DLC would mean more stress (missing saves, crashes. freezes etc....)
| dbot said: The exclusive DLC was a "marketing" arrangement MS made with Bethesda. I really am amazed at the hacks that get employed in "gaming journalism." This is a major industry, you would think it would attract some talented people to report on it. |
Journalism is the only career where people who have no education or experience related to a topic get to write about it ... The more times you run into journalists who write about topics where you have some interest and knowledge the more you will come to realize that this is true.
The thing that I find personally interesting about this is that similar stories came out about the Gamecube at a similar point in its life and (I suspect) were probably a factor in Nintendo having difficulty selling systems. If enough people start believing that the only games that will be available for the PS3 are inferior versions of XBox 360 games there is far lower interest in the system for gamers ... When you combine this with the steady stream of stories about how poorly the PS3 is doing and the PS3 desperately needs a price cut to survive Sony has a massive quantity of negative press to counter.
Whatever makes them feel happy they can believe...
Former something....
Since when was Bethesda a massive publisher? So what if they are giving the 360 exclusive DLC.
Sony has been getting exclusive DLC from EA which is a bigger and more important publisher than Bethesda so what does this say to this article.

QFT. There is no PS2 this time around and development costs are up. They need to make games for both systems to prosper.

You do realize that the Wii is selling at a faster rate than the PS2 did, Wii development costs are not dramatically higher than PS2 games, and the Wii has sold a ton of software?
I have a bombshell for many in the community. Read these words and remember. Sony has already lost third party support. I know it was terribly easy to miss seeing that it has been happening for the past couple years. The only question is can Sony stop the hemorrhaging, or even recoup the losses back into the fold. This is not an either or question. By the way I want to meet some of you in real life.
I really want to see if you are literally binary thinkers. In other words you can only conceive of two possibilities. I would hand you a weapon and tell you to attack one person or another person. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if you carried out the attack on one. Seeing as it would not occur to you that you could simply refuse, inform the authorities, or attack your truly.
Sony has lost support, and is apparently continuing to lose support. That doesn't mean that every developer is going to black list the PS3. It just means that the PS3 isn't going to get a number of things, and if that number gets too large then its really going to be to the detriment of the owners. You might not give a shit about this extra content, but in due coarse the next thing might be something you really want. You should want Sony to ensure that does not happen.
The journalist may be taking liberties drawing a lot from nothing, but it is not an uncommon concern even on these forums. Sony isn't getting the choice support that some would like. How many times have we read a fellow member saying I hope they port that to the PS3 in six months? That is very telling. Honestly losing the content means that Bethesda bribed or not has most definitely lost a great deal of faith in the platforms viability. Bribes only work if the rewards are great enough as compared to what you might think you would get otherwise.
Anyway whether ignorant, lazy, or biased the journalist has probably stumbled onto something real. Remember this years games were in development, or started in development while the PS3 floundered two years ago. I would be shocked if Microsoft did not do some serious shopping to be on the safe side, and we could see a lot of that this year.
