There Won't Be Any Console Exclusive Extras in Fallout 4

This is nice to hear. I personally would rather have players get an equal game experience regardless of console.

I'm far more concerned about Bethesda making the PlayStation version of its games run well this gen than I am about timed-exclusive DLC.

@Gamer83 In fairness a lot of the problems Bethesda had were due to the PS3 hardware. They shouldn't have as many problems on PS4.

@DerMeister Agreed, another big tick for the team at Bethesda.

@Gamer83 how bad did these games run on ps3?

Fallout will be brilliant but DOOM is my most anticipated game from this outfit especially the editor. That presentation at e3 blew me away.

@stevie85
PS3 was a pain to work with, no question but most developers worked things out as the gen went on. Bethesda didn't even try so I can't let the company off the hook.

@themcnoisy
Skyrim was unplayable on the PS3 due to lag.

@Gamer83 Most games weren't the scale of Skyrim though.

@stevie85 Most games aren't built on Bethesda's awful engine either!

@ShogunRok lol true.

@GraveLordXD
I'll give them the benefit of the doubt for now as well. Sony knew PS3 had issues otherwise it wouldn't have gone out of its way to converse with third parties during the planning stages of PS4. There's also the fact that unlike last gen when the 360 was ahead in sales for a long time, PS4 has a pretty big lead right now so there's no way Bethesda wants to tick off that userbase.

I hate exclusive DLC deals so much - even when they are time limited - so annoying - seriously: why do Sony and MS care about that anyway? I mean people like me who own every current console only care for their friendlist when they buy multiplattform online games, otherwise its a technical decision of course. But what with those who just stick to one console? They mostly have to wait like forever for certain DLC (yes - im hinting at you CoD).
Glad theres one developer that goes another way for that - two thumbs up for Bethesda!

That's great to know. I hate it when either company gets ahold of content and makes it exclusive. Timed or not. It's stupid.

@Gamer83 When I finally got the Legendary Edition for my PS3 it worked better but still got bad every now and then after I hit high levels. As much as I love my PS3 the cell architecture was ridiculously complicated for Bethesda to work with.

At this point I'm more numb than bothered by bought exclusivity, I wonder how much getting call of duty maps a month before everyone else costs, I wonder how much the average consumer actually cares.

@VenomSnake08
Yeah, there's no question, PS3 is an extremely poorly designed console, I certainly had my issues with it from a user standpoint. That said, other devs did eventually figure it out and for a studio as talented as Bethesda not to surprised me. Even worse, it didn't seem like it made any effort to fix its broken a$$ games on PS3.

@Gamer83 Yeah I was really surprised also. Bethesda didn't put a whole lot of effort into fixing the PS3 versions of their games. But with the PS4 and Xbox One being somewhat identical hardware wise I don't see Bethesda struggling as much with Fallout 4 and future titles on the PS4.
