We're not getting into the specifics of what content is being released right now, but we are working on bringing content to PS3 and PC. It'll be content that's not already on those platforms.

i'm pretty pissed.

PC users slated to have more content than the 360 version. Not fair at all.

What in the world are you talking about? PC users are probably getting Dragonborn, and PS3 users are finally getting some DLC after all this wait.

Okay, lets not get started with the console bashing crap again. As a 360 player, I am glad that the PS3 is finally getting DLC, and I am hoping that Dragonborn is coming out for the PC. It isn't right for any console to have more than another.

Not really. The CPU is more advanced than the 360, but the RAM is gimped by being split in half ( the main reason PS3 hasn't gotten the previous DLC yet according to Bethesda ).The PS3 is the more powerful of the two, but it's not by a large margin.

Graphically the PS3 is a good bit ahead, but you have to do work with shading on the SPUs and so forth to gain the advantage.The PS3 can allow more system ram to be used for graphics, just not the other way around.

Everyone talks about how the Xbox is so like the PC, but what PC have you ever seen with an odd number of cores and a unified memory pool? None, zero nada zippo..

Lower end computers with integrated graphics chipsets (intel, via etc) allocate system ram for graphics operations but pagetable protections are used to keep those areas segregated.

The biggest bottleneck for PS3 programming is the size of the DMA regions for each SPE. As I understand it the SPEs can only operate on data within their DMA region, so all data must be shuffled into the SPE DMA, if you create objects that are basically too big then a lot of cycles are wasted in off-copying bits in and out of the DMA pools.

I think in terms of pure computational throughput and speed the PS3 is quite a bit ahead of the Xbox.But its irrelevant I think because the BS team is clearly not devoting much time to OpenGL programming.

So if there is absolutely PS3-specific it might be something with the six-axis controller or maybe the OS provided screenshot function? But I agree with most, the PS3 is just going to _finally_ get some of the content everybody else has had for a while.

How is that so? Are you talking about mods? If you are, COMPLAIN TO MICRO$OFT! They're the guys who refuse to allow them on the 360. The PC is not getting any other official content than that of the 360. The twitter post is in response to the offical release date for Dragonborn on the 360 occuring on 12/4/2012.

No the mod dude basically said that the content will be different. Plus he was incredibly vague about the dlc purposely not saying it was previous unrealeased dlc.

The HD texture pack is PC only, but that's for obvious reasons. It would most likely have been included for consoles if the system technically allowed it.

I am just happy that Bethesda seems to have overcome the PS3 DLC obsticle.
I am also happy that DLC seems to be a continuing process.
I wonder how many DLCS will be released for skyrim?

Either way...i am a PS3 player....and i am absolutely thrilled!

this is potentially the FIRST bit of good news we have every received on the PS3 product.However, given their track record, the long-silence period and continued ambiguity I'm still not so thrilled.I've also got a laundry list of things they could fix on my game (eg autosaves, weapon switching) before I'm ready to hand over any more money.I would also like to see some real evidence of contrition from SOMEBODY @BGS...

Yeah, it is new to X360 as well.
But the tweet doesn't talk about X360 so it doesn't matter,

Exactly. The original twitter post was in response to questions regarding the announcement of DLC for PS3 and PC. The PS3 hasn't gotten anything yet, and the PC hasn't gotten Dragonborn. The new content for the PC/PS3 is just the unannounced DLC for them.

But it has already been confirmed for the XBox 360. Not yet for PC and PS3.

NEW CONTENT COMING FOR PS3 IS DAWNGUARD HEARTHFIRE AND DRAGONBORN

NEW CONTENT FOR PC WOULD BE DRAGONBORN

Dragonborn was ALREADY ANNOUNCED for 360......so its technically not NEW


They might still be working on Dragonborn for pc...hence NEW!!

ITS ALL NEW FOR PS3...

Dont read too far into this...

You misread them and are completey misunderstood. They said new content that PC and PS3 dont ALREADY have. PS3 - Dawnguard, Hearthfire. PC - Dragonborn.


But what about Xbox?! - ALREADY CONFIRMED Dragonborn Dec. 4th for Xbox CONFIRMED


Read between the lines.

But it has been announced for xbox, release date 4th Dec. It has not been announced for PC.

If you are an xbox player you might have missed the fact that PC and PS3 players were very upset that there was no release date for PC and no DLC at all for PS3. The tweet was to let PC and PS3 players not to worry, that we would be getting it - you do not need to worry about the message, because you already have the DLC either released (DG, HF) or with a confirmed release date (DB). I don't get why you don't understand what the tweet meant.

its all coming together


Dragonborn is releasing on December 4th......thats a Tuesday. The PS Store and Xbox Marketplace update EVERY Tuesday.



Do what you will with that info...but just remember....NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE!

So when?

When are the PS3 users getting the DLC?

Is it only Dawnguard? Hearthfire? Dragonborn? All three?

Are we getting a discount?
