Interview with Bethesda's Peter Hines

SPOnG was pumped to be able to catch up with Bethesda's VP of PR and Marketing, Pete Hines (pictured) earlier this week to find out more about the forthcoming PS3 version of Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. Not to mention quiz him a little on what else the mighty Bethesda is up to these days, including finding out some tasty tidbits on its next major game project: Fallout 3.

How long have the team been working specifically on the PS3 version?

Pete Hines: Since last March, since we shipped the PC and 360 versions.

SPOnG: And what have been the highs and lows of that [PS3] development process?

Pete Hines: Erm, you know…highs… well, the high is getting it done! That's the only high we care about [laughs]. The low is that it is a long, long process… You work for four years to get this game ready for two platforms and then it's really good.

XbugPosse6279d ago

The PS3 version was just one year in developmenet? That's surely something 360 fanboys won't like. There it goes their longer developement statemnt...

BIadestarX6279d ago

Some correct me if I am wrong. Is the PS3 version a completely new game with different stories, characters, etc? I was under the impression this game was a port. If this game was a port than what you said about "The PS3 version was just one year in developmenet" it's completely wrong since what took them a year to do is porting. Let me see how I can explain this to you in terms that you can understand. It takes longer to develop a game since all game assets and concepts need to be created than to port a game to a new platform.

they want to move on.the ps3 gave them some hiccups because it's different.but what he said about 360 FANBOYS is right on the money when it comes to ps3.to take all the negative crap with a grain of salt.and that they had to step in and shut the haters up on some things.love that.

THEY HAD TO STEP IN AND SHUT YOU GUYS UP WITH THE LIES:

1.PS3 NOT HAVING ENOUGH MEMORY.

2.DOUBLE INFORMATION BLOWN OUT OF PROPORTION.

3.NOT GETTING ANY MORE CONTENT FOR PS3.

4. NOT LOOKING A LITTLE BETTER ON PS3.

5.BLURAY NOT BEING FAST ENOUGH TO LOAD GAMES.

6.RSX NOT BEING ABLE TO PRODUCE AS GOOD OR BETTER GRAPHICS.

THEY HAD TO SHUT YOU GUYS UP.

oblivion is a buy for me.just because it's coming out later doesn't mean it's not still an award winning game.you fanboys got PWNED by the devs themselves.I LOVE THAT.TO THE GUYS WITH THE LIES.YOU GOT PWWWWWWWWNNNNNNNNNEDDDDDD!!!!! !!

Fallout 4's 'next gen' update is over 14 gigs, breaks modded saves, & doesn't change much at all

We were expecting problems with mod support, but there are a lot of other issues.

isarai6h ago

Wow what the actual hell 🤣🤣🤣

just_looken5h ago

This is why you get the GOG version on gog you can select the version of the game to download.

On pc fallout 4 fallout new vegas and skyrim are all broken on steam because they all got the same "next gen" update.

Skyrim dec 2023
https://www.pcgamer.com/sky...

Can not find new vegas but anyone that modded it knows the script extender there was also broken

Valkyrye4h ago

Not accidental, they want modders to stop modding their older games to force them to mod Shitfield.

just_looken2h ago

There doing the same on starfield with a mods store and blocking mods

There goal is like blizzard and what they did with fallout 76 you make mods they can sell and you become a slave.

On skyrim they have "trusted" mod devs now basically a badge that lets your mod on the store you get a crumb of the sale when someone buys it.

Inverno57m ago

lol to the disagrees, the last Skyrim update broke mods too. They've been trying to kill mods to monetize them in creation club for years, it's not a stretch that they purposely put out patches just to break free mods.

Chocoburger23m ago

Over 14 GBs and doesn't change much at all? What? Taking up that much drive space for a pathetic 'remastering' is shameful.

Par for Bethesda.

Why Monopolies In Gaming Must Not Be Allowed

As of right now, there are no monopolies in the games industry, and for the sake of the medium as a whole, they never should either.

thorstein4h ago

Shouldn't be allowed in any field.

Inverno1h ago

And yet the biggest tech companies in America are essentially that. They buy up all the small comps only to kill them off and steal what they have, and if they can't buy em they bleed them to death.

Zenzuu21m ago

Monopolies shouldn't be allowed regardless. Not just for gaming.
