For an excellent game and many websites GOTY, Fallout 3 has been criticised pretty heavily, whether it was the PSN friends  sign in/out problems, the many freezing issues, the areas of the game which don’t trigger the next section (like the G.O.A.T. exam) amongst others, and a considerable amount of unpatched problems that the games players are still reporting.

Many people are probably aware that the PC & 360 versions are receiving some pretty spiffy looking DLC, coming in three monthly installments; January’s Operation: Anchorage,  Febuary’s The Pitt, and finally March’s Broken Steel. 

The Broken Steel update is receiving a great deal of attention because it allows the player to continue playing the game after finishing the main campaign. This is obviously great news if you’re a PC or 360 owner of the game but on the PS3 when the main campaign is done, the credits roll and that’s it, no matter how many side quests you still need to explore.

The 3 instalments are exclusive on consoles to the 360 so there’s no much point moaning about that, but what about the chances of the PS3 version receiving an update to allow post campaign gameplay?

Multiplayer the MTV blog asked Todd Howard of Bethesda Softworks fame “is post-ending adventuring something Bethesda is considering for PS3 players?”

“Not at this time, no,” said Howard.”

Now we could take the response as either a firm ‘no’ or, that it will be appearing at some other time (obviously in the future), either way it’s not good  news for PS3 owners of the game which has many fans, who being more patient than I, could overlook the games many faults and enjoy it.
