No Trophies For Fallout 3
Friday, September 5th, 2008
PS3 owners craving the virtual self-esteem pills known as “Trophies” will be disheartened to learn that Fallout 3 won’t have any. At least not at launch, anyway. But, but, how will we know when to feel a sense of accomplishment if The Machine won’t tell us?
Bethesda VP of Marketing Pete Hines told PlaystationUniverse that while the game won’t ship with Trophy support, they haven’t ruled out including them in a patch. “It remains to be seen what we do down the road. It wasn’t something we were able to incorporate into the game for launch.”
Unfortunately, Trophies aren’t retroactively awarded so you don’t get credit for what you do in a game before Trophy support is added. (Read the full post about ‘No Trophies For Fallout 3′…)
You may have heard the news about a PS3 Bluetooth headset being released in Japan. Sony has revealed that we’ll be getting that little gadget here in the States in the Fall and it’ll be bundled with an upcoming game. 
I have no idea where I will live in five years, or even what I’m eating for dinner tonight, but Guillermo del Toro is booked solid through 2017. Variety has a piece today summing up the huge amount of projects del Toro has committed himself to do over the last few months, despite the fact that The Hobbit alone will probably take up the next five years.
Dan Aykroyd is an icon of my childhood. Dan Akyroyd is a respected actor. Nowhere in this world does Dan Aykroyd deserve to be a tequila spokesman, particularly one reduced to wearing a lime green T-shirt bearing the logo of Patron tequila.
Do you need a little Bay-os? How about some Bay-hem? Those are actual phrases tossed around on the set of Transformers 2, and you can get a look at what Michael Bay’s special brand of chaos looks like thanks to the behind-the-scenes video available through the new DVD release of Transformers. Here’s how it’s supposed to work: You buy one of the three new DVDs, which have fancy stuff that makes them worth $40 or something insane. You enter the code from your DVD package here, and gain access to special videos, which will update every week.
The first official, MPAA approved trailer for Kevin Smith?s new movie Zack and Miri Make a Porno is here? and it?s appropriately red banded. This is a movie about making porn after all, adult content comes with the territory. But this trailer isn?t just an excuse to use the word ?cock? or to let Justin Long talk about filming gay porno, it?s also hilarious. 
This was just too hilarious to pass up. It seems there is boy band beef between NKTOB and Backstreet. 
Title: Fallout 3
It’s no surprise that some of the biggest, most popular games in recent history have been given the ‘M’ rating. More violence, more sexual material and edgier content have been used to controversially sell many games for home consoles and PC. There’s nothing wrong with adult-themed material, and in some cases it can actually help a game tell the story it’s trying to sell. But at the same time this “mature” rated content sometimes prevents the game from being anywhere near as accessible as it should be.
