See I played FO3 GOTY to the near end, Point Lookout being my last mission after a almsot un-glitchy game. After meeting the ghoul in the mansion, I saved ad got off. Now before I got to see what this guys deal is my PS3 broke (Fallout wasnt in it) Now with my new PS3 (same model, Super Slim) I try playing and after a long period of freezing at the load screen after I pressed Start New Game, I managed to be born. Now back to the old no-lag or freeze gameplay through childhood, just as Im leaving Vault 101 the game freezes. The load screen flips one slide in the slideshow thig then freezes. I have a feeling on why happened though...
So surprisingly when I got on i noticed my HUD and Pip boy were still blue coloured, even though I thought it'd be reset to green. Subtitles were on too. This makes me think that FO3 is looking for pre-existing game data from my old PS3, since it apparently saved some things (the colour and the subtitles and who knows what else) onto the disc. It does create a new game data utility thing as I go along though. I waited half an hour staring at my Pip boy when Amata woke me up because I read that would help pre-load the game but apparently not.
I think this novel of a question would be thorough enough, but if you have questions just ask ill be happy to answer.
