PSM3’s exclusive PS3 review of Fallout 3 has found its way onto the internet and one line in particular has been receiving particular attention: “The PS3 version compares poorly to its Xbox and PC counterparts.”
Following many a forum post now claiming that Fallout 3 is just a typical poor port to PS3, PSM3 has posted a comment in a move to clarify its comments regarding the visuals in the PS3 game. After confirming that the PS3 game is “gorgeous” PSM3 notes that the Xbox 360 version has “noticeably rougher” textures than the PC versions and “objects in the distance aren’t quite as clear”. The game, however, features an “impressively solid frame rate”.
As for the PS3 version, PSM3 states: “… the PS3 version looks the same as on Xbox, but things in the distance are slightly jaggier/rougher, the textures seem ‘muddier’ up-close and the frame rate is choppier, especially during the last few story missions (which may be the same on Xbox, but we’ve not seen the equivalent scenes to comment).”
In conclusion the magazine noted that “the difference between the Xbox and PS3 versions won’t hamper your enjoyment of the game”.
Fallout 3 is scheduled for release on PS3, Xbox 360 and PC on October 31. Look out for our review next week.
