Hack lets Oblivion and Fallout 3 mods to be run on PS3

PSB writes: The hacking scene is abuzz with reports that you can now run PC mods for both Elders Scroll: Oblivion and Fallout 3 on your PS3.

PS3 coudlnt handle half of the mods

This will be awesome until your PS3 catches on fire

The gamebryo engine treats mods the same way it treats DLC, so by simply renaming the mods to the names of the DLC you can run them.

But you will get huge performence issues with more complex mods.

PS3: It only does PC mods.

What the **** is up with some of the pc elitist comments? This is ****ing great for ps3

Altough i dont support it, i hope sony takes this idea to ps4 to support mods while making it more secure

Nice. Just nice, now owners of the PS3 version of Oblivion can enjoy Oblivion hopefully without all the design flaws, I hope they can use the Oblivion Script Extender though (OBSE). I also hope they can play Nehrim.

the 360 version also allows mods if you do you know what on your 360

Because 80% of the mods for Oblivion and F3, will cripple the PS3. Considering the fact that it's a pathetically outdated piece of tech., which is nothing more then a gimped PC. :P

At least the Wii is somewhat unique with it's games.

Why is it knowing what you are talking about, and elitist, seems to go hand in hand in SW?

If you use mods that increase the workload on a fixed hardware system, it will hurt performance.

This is cool. I'm glad people are doing this kind of stuff... is custom firmware really such a bad thing, Sony? It's not like piracy on the PS3 is likely to spread like wildfire anyways... not that many people have Blu-Ray burners, and since the games are 25+ GB downloading them would take ages thus making them less convenient for file sharers.Messiahbolical-

It doesn't matter, if the company says Not allowed, then is not allowed, hopefully this custome firmwares will get banned too if people want to enjoy the mods of this games, get the PC version.

So? There are a lot of great non-graphics mods for Oblivion.jjccjj92

If they don't impact the games workload, which is more than just graphical mods, then they should run fine.

But honestly, PC gamers constantly get accused of being elitist for just telling the truth.

lol it would be sick if ps3 players could play nehrim. i doubt it but i tell all my console friends and i showed them the mod on my pc and they think its so cool

It's not only graphics mods that make oblivion more demanding. A lot of mods use scripts which can make the game A LOT more cpu demanding,
e.g OOO lowers performance quite a lot without really making the game look muchbetter.

With fixed hardware it would be easier to get them to work on the PS3, but I do agree that the only support these things when it fits their argument or platform.

Fixed hardware helps in development, I doubt it helps when it comes to copying over PC mods in a unofficial manner. Fixed hardware acts more as a barrier in this case, because you are adding on top of what is already pushing the system. As console gamers say, consoles don't have to account for background processes, they can dedicate everything available to the game. Everything available, so what happens when you increase the workload?

What would work on PS3 really depends on the mod, don't think about doubling the character texture resolution; or anything like that.

I call BS, until I see it....

I mean why bother? I thought PC was teh catz pajamas, so why are these hackers dedicating soo much of thier 'skills' and time hacking the ps3

*looks at PSP's forests*

I'm not saying piracy singlehandedly killed the PSP, but damn near everyone of my friends or acquantices have hacked the crap out of the PSP.

Not worth crashing your ps3 imo for some better textures....

Somewhere out there, there's probably someone calling Sony because their PS3 "crashed" ;)

Well, that's pretty cool, but I doubt they'd work very well.

Did you even read the OP? And hackers don't put their skills exclusively to pc, its already cracked (Windows anyway), apparently the ps3 was another challenge for them.

@ dsgsdfgf "It's not only graphics mods that make oblivion more demanding. A lot of mods use scripts which can make the game A LOT more cpu demanding, e.g OOO lowers performance quite a lot without really making the game look muchbetter." So are you trying to say that the PS3 cell processor cannot handle the same thing as a PC? That is stretching things a bit, me thinks. A normal PC does not have 7 co-processors last time I checked.TheRealLisaAnn

Last time I checked teh cElL is not clocked at the same speed as that of a normal quad core.

Altough i dont support it, i hope sony takes this idea to ps4 to support mods while making it more secure
