PSM3‘s looked to clarify some mistaken notions that have arisen when their review for Fallout 3 (PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PC) for the PS3 was leaked onto the Internet. Specifically, the notion that the PS3 version was yet another crappy port of an excellent game, much as F.E.A.R. was when it finally came out on the Sony console.

Textures were indeed a bit more rough in the PS3 version than in the 360 or the PC and the frame rate was a bit choppier. However, PSM3 asserted that this was hardly enough to detract from the overall experience of what is turning out to be a truly epic game.

The bottom line was succinctly put by PSM3’s Andy Kelly:

If you’re bothered by a slightly inferior frame rate and fractionally blurrier textures, then perhaps, yes, you’d best buy the Xbox version, leaving the rest of us to enjoy an almost-identical, equally brilliant, game on PS3, while you smugly inspect concrete textures at terrifyingly close range to reap the full benefit, rather than, say, losing yourself in a 100 hour epic quest in an evocative post-apocalypse. Or having fun.

Well said, Andy. Well said. I’m still buying the PC version though.
