TGR was able to sit down with Bethesda Softworks during a demo build of Fallout 3. In their testing, along with the installation question, they asked abou tthe differense between the two and if the PLAYSTATION 3 version is on par with the Xbox 360 version of the game.

“Pretty much. There is a good way to phrase it” they responded. Did Sony assist them?

“We actually have talked to them and worked with them quite a bit. It is more just for us a case of you know we had a year head start on the 360 versus the PS3 because the Oblivion 360 version was done a year ahead of the PS3 so you know.”

He went on: “It is not that the PS3 is behind it is just that we had a year longer to work on the 360 version, so that is our lead platform. So all of that stuff that we did on Oblivion is all stuff that translated nicely into what we are doing on Fallout. So at this point they are pretty much on par.”

“You know and simultaneous launch for all three platforms and you know it will be all three versions will be on par, we are not looking to have a ‘this is the best version’. If you want the best version of Fallout 3 you should buy this on X platform. We want it to be like three screens you could not tell which one is which kind of thing.”

This is what makes game developers such as Bethesda so great.
