Dragonborn Xbox Exclusive Window? PS3 and PC Release Date : V

» Wed Nov 07, 2012 5:52 am

I was just wondering.

It definitely won't be permanently exclusive. But a timed exclusive? We don't know until Bethesda clarify, as there's contradicting evidence for both sides.

PC will get it. Don't worry about that.

As far as the PS3 goes, well, it looks doubtful.

Bethesda does not have a good track record when it comes to the PS3.

Fallout: New Vegas and Fallout 3 on the PS3 both received all the DLC that the other consoles got, but the games became very broken and unplayable.

Bethesda is getting too much media attention this time, so they don't want to release any DLC that will make the already defective Skyrim worse.

The truthful answer is no one knows until Bethesda pull their finger out and clarify.

At first it will be but by January or February it should be on the PC. Who really knows about PS3.

It would be strange not to time the release so that it would be out for everyone by Christmas.

What I meant was if it's going to be a 30 day exclusive again like the other DLCs...even though Beth said that only the first 2 DLC will be like that..-.-

I thought that deal was over, it should be released all at once this time...

Yeah, that's what most of us thought, but there's only a relase date for XBOX. PC is probably not going to get it this year.

Heh, sadly, its viable strategy, because they will sell this DLC twice to players that have PC and xbox and are too impatient to wait for PC release...

Hmm, it seems that my theory, which hints at Xbox users being utilized to "Beta test" the DLC for the PC Gaming master race, hasn't caught on.

PC will probably follow soon. PS3 never too much scripting and new items

Pretty sure they didn't fix a single bug from the dawnguard beta... ...pretty sure they never patch dlcs... ...pretty sure beth sure as hell ain't urinating on microsoft by making the xbow dragonborn worsely patched than the pc or ps3 dragonborn... ...only way xbox players beta test for pc players is that pc players will already know what bugs to patch 'cause beth sure as hell won't be patching anything.

You'd think they'd follow precedent and make this one a timed exclusive as well, except the timing couldn't be worse. I don't know of many devs who'd in their right minds would pass up the Holy Grail of Christmas sales on the other platforms.

The listing on Bethblog listed it as exclusive to the 360, for 1600 msp on December 4th.

Bethesda did in fact http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Patch the DLC a little bit.

Nobody knows. At the moment it is stated as 360 exclusive, but this is probably in the terms of their contract that they're not allowed to mention other platforms until 30 days has finished (makes sense).

[censored] hope not though.

Perhaps the contract remains as xbox exclusive but not with 30-day period as was stated publicly, instead the other platforms release after week or two? just in time for christmas...

It is NOT XBox exclusive!!

Beta testing for PC is already through and it will be released for it sooner or later.

Some of us are definitely in that camp.

Not quite. It merely says that it will be available for Xbox and makes no mention of PC.

And how do you know that? Provide an official source or shut up spreading rumours.

Beta testing being finished has no bearing on whether or not an artificially induced delay prevents its release at the same time as the XBox's.

I've seen you mention this is in a couple of threads, and I think you're getting the 1.8 patch confused with the DLC.

That, or you're full of the brown stuff.

Wasn't the timed exclusivity thing to be only for the first two DLCs? Unless my memory is failing or something changed, I'd imagine the PC/XBox Dragonborn release dates will coincide.
