Fallout 3 : " 360 is our lead dev platform" says Bethesda

"The 360 is our lead development platform, so we got it working on that one first," he said. I mean, we develop them all simultaneously, but one of them's got to be the lead, so it was 360."

"We had a year's head start on the 360 because it came out a year earlier, so we had final dev hardware to work with earlier on than we did with PS3," he said. "But as this point all three of them are pretty much on par. The goal is that, if I get three versions in here and hide the console or PC and just had them running on the screen, that you wouldn't be able to tell the difference."

Hugely anticipated action-RPG Fallout 3 will release for PC, Xbox 360 and PS3 this autumn. :D

Auto-fail.

Then again, the moment Bethesda said they were doing Fallout 3 this game was an auto-fail.

Ah well, maybe the next PC franchise then.

I see you've changed quite a bit.

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat!!! :evil:

Why wasn't this game created for the soon to be released 10200 NVidia N Series graphics cards. Doesn't Bethesda know that the card can literally push 3 trilliion and 1 polygons a second. I know for certain you could have created a fully realised game world with this graphics card. ME and my mate George from down the road were definitely going to buy one just for this game. It's disgusting how Bethesda have sold out. I hope they enjoy their millions from their kidbox flop60, because I for one and my mate George from down the road won't be buying it.

Bethesda is dead to me now. Excuse me while I continue my endless quest to tweak Crysis' config to push a few more frames. Soon I will realise my dream.

that explain why fallout 3 will be a game for window live!

And with that they shot themselves in the purse strings.Vandalvideo

Ya, because releasing Oblivion on three platforms was a really bad idea.

I am a PC gamer and understand some of the hate. I do not like what happened to CoD4. But it is tiresome hearing PC gamers cry.

Times change, get used to it.

As a PC gamer, this has to be one of the more painful lines from the passage, knowing that the PC version is going to look the same as the cosole versions. Hopefully, this statement didn't take in the possible considerations for video options in the PC version.

I don't think any of the suits care. I love the first Fallout and liked two. I love Bethesda, and I am a PC gamer first and foremost. But PC gamers love to over state their own worth.

Traditionally PC centered company's focusing on consoles is evidence of them thinking about the bottom line first. Most PC gamers also game on consoles, very few sit in their PC chairs and curse the "lesser" platforms.

The market has changed, times have changed. Making Fallout with the 360 in mind then porting onto the PC and I imagine the ps3 makes financial sense.

If hermits and their wallets really had any power all this crap would not be an issue.

I don't always like change either, and PC gaming is not any place near dead. But it has changed.

20 hermits have just topped themselves from deep within their mothers basements :( (j/k)

Just because Bethesda is putting their own spin on a franchise doesn't mean the game is ruined. Wait until it comes out to judge it.

Okay, I see Hermits having a damn Cow in here and I don't know why.

Since I don't know anything about Fallout, can someone explain to me how making the 360 the lead platform somehow will make the game "fail"?

Ok i think i misunderstood you. You just think that it will not be a true Fallout game, but still a good game.

I'm just trying to make sure I understand the anger...and if it's directed towards consoles somehow handicapping it or if it's just for Bethesda.

Thats reasonable. I never played any Fallouts, so I never really understood where all the hate came from.

PC's are everywhere, but very few people are PC gamers. PC's are a part of our lives, the game market and potential sales are still huge, but I take the actions of traditional PC dev's like Bioware, Epic, and Bethesda over hermits high opinion of themselves.

I know about Fallout and love my 360/ps3 so I am all over it and I will wait until I play the game until I complain.

I love how game makers get cryed at for making the same game they made 4 years ago, and then get ridicule for changing the forumla.

You can not please hermits, or any fanboy.

I net Fallout three creates a much, much larger fan base for the game.

bit of both. most of it is just at Bethesda, but there's also not realizing the potential that a PC could offer over consoles (because of the "you can't tell the difference" statement).

It is hermits thinking that they made these company's what they are, and thus these people owe them something.

It is more then a little childish, and its getting old.

Just curious, but is anyone who has actually played the first two games actually looking forward to this bastardization of a franchise? It seems like eveyone hyped for this game has no prior experience with the Fallout series. I could be wrong here, just an observation. drnick7
