So mods are Coming to the PS4?

Post » Wed Dec 02, 2015 2:35 am

In an interview with http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/video-games/11723096/Fallout-4-interview-Bethesdas-Todd-Howard-on-building-the-apocalypse.html, Howard mentions...

We architecture our system so that mods work. They work on Skyrim if you can get them on a console, Oblivion aswell. And Fallout 3. But there’s no way of getting them there. There’s still a lot of work to do. It’s going to come out on PC first, then they’ll move to Xbox One, then to PS4. There is a lot of work involved getting them onto each system.

They are supposedly in talks with Sony, they have said Microsoft is definitely on board with mods. Still waiting to hear if Sony will jump on board too.

It might take a little bit of time and effort, but I have doubts that Sony is going to be too willing to allow Microsoft to "one up" them in the mods department. At this point, I think it's just a matter of logistics.

I agree, it wouldn't be a very good move on Sony's part to not allow mods. Love'em or hate'em, Bethesda games sell consoles too, and your console not allowing something another will just pushes folks to buy the other console.

Consider that BGS has a long history of supporting mods on pc, and has stated numerous times they would like to get them on consoles as well...my money would be on Sony being full of [censored].

Of course if it's a matter of money, then who knows. :shrug:

Something tells me BS and Bethesda have some kind of deal and instead of pissing some people off by saying "MS gave us money" they said " We waiting to see if Sony agree to have them".

It is interesting how there seems to be some form of a hold-up with getting the mods on to the PS4, whether it be technical issue or a money issue, or a control issue - or all 3 of course. It's most certainly in Sony's interest to get things worked out and put the matter to rest as a potential flaw in the PS4 version of F4 as you know Microsoft will shout it from every corner of the gaming world if PS4 mods don't happen for some reason and the mods become a highly sought after feature that is console-exclusive to the Xbox platform.

As a sony employee hinted that it a Todd/bethesda issue. They don't care for sony in a way to treat them like first class (Mirosoft), cause the only reason their games are on sony platform anyway is becasuse they need sony consumer to keep up Betheda growth

Sony can't do nothing but just hope bethesda won't pull another screwjob on the sony fanbase of over 26 mil and counting :confused:

i'm not expecting the PS4 version to run good but we will see :devil:

Bethesda has always had a favoritism for Microsoft.

Hopefully it does. The PS4 and XOne have the same APU, the PS4 just runs at higher clock speeds and has faster memory.

If the PS4 runs like crap the XOne doesn't it was done on purpose this time around. So far every game this generation has had better performance and higher resolutions on the PS4.

Whoa, wait a minute here, at least post a link to the thread said exec made the comment on, also you saying Bethesda has and is currently screwing over Sony intentionally is way out of line. Provide your sources before coming on a Bethesda owned forum and spouting inflammatory nonsense like this.

Sony is likely stonewalling FO4 mods on PS4 because of how Fallout has to be censored in Japan because of cultural concerns. FO3 in Japan was edited to avoid sensitive subject matter like nuking Megaton. Sony doesn't want to say that's the reason but If mods are allowed in Japan then you can surely bet that things slip into the Japanese version of FO4 that will offend the only country in the world to survive 2 atom bombs.

Sony actually has a better GPU too :D

PS4 boasts a 1.84 teraflop GPU / GCNE w/ 1152 shaders/ 8 ACE in the GPU

Xbox One boasts a 1.31 teraflop/ GCNE w / 768 shaders/ 2 ACE in the GPU

This is an interesting point that I had not fully considered.

On another note, while Japan DID survive the Nuclear blasts, it's ruling (HIGHLY aggressive and militaristic) Government did NOT. Japanesse culture was forever changed by the events, so saying that pre-war Japan survived is questionable.

So did Activision when Xbox 360 was market leader through most the generation. Now they gone running to PS4 with exclusive Call of Duty content and competitions.

Since PS4 now has approximately double the install base of Xbox One, most third party games are selling over double the amount on PS4....you can guarantee Bethesda will jump ship properly when they get their first main wave of sale figures of Fallout 4.
