Someone should create a technical issues heading on Skyrim's wikipedia article. I've never edited anything on Wikipedia, and to be honest I don't want to create something that looks half-baked. Anyone a good Wikipedia.... editing..... person?

Okay, I guess I'll get to work on this then . . .

Bethesda will just delete it. Kind of pointless if you ask me. A good effort of course. Since Wikipedia is able to be edited by anyone, nothing you add is for sure permanent

That's fine if they delete it. Wikipedia will have a record of them deleting it, and it will look terrible.

This is a good idea me thinks.

No they won't. They can just delete it anonymously.

And whoever is changing it to the trolling... though it's funny, just stop. Let's keep it professional

I never said changing it to trolling. I'm simply adding a section describing the issues the game is having on the PS3. Rest of the article stays the same, just adding a section so others know about this and can make an educated decision on whether or not to buy.

Here, you guys can help if you want. This is what I have so far:

=== PS3 Framerate Issues and PR Fallout ===

While the game received stellar reviews, it has also been plagued with a number of errors and glitches. The Playstation 3, Xbox 360 and PC versions of the game all have specific problems.

It's been reported by those who own the Xbox 360 that there is a specific issue with textures not scaling properly if the game is installed to the Xbox 360 hard-drive [http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1258645-texture-scaling-on-360/ Texture Scaling Problems on 360 version of Skyrim] November 11, 2011. Retrieved November 19, 2011.. On the PC, some users have experienced numerous crashes while playing the game.[http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1270631-crashes-during-gameplay/ Bethesda's PC Support Forum] November 15, 2011. Retrieved November 18, 2011. The largest problems, however, seem to exist on the Playstation 3. Days after the game was released, [http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/forum/182-playstation-3/Bethesda%27s Playstation 3 support forum] was flooded with gamers claiming the game had become unplayable, seemingly due to an issue with their save file becoming too large for the Playstation 3 to properly handle. As the week progressed, many gaming journalists began to pick up on the issue as well. David Houghton, Content Editor at GamesRadar.com, went so far as to publish a scathing editorial on the issue, in which he says:

''" . . . apparently Bethesda had no idea that the game it had spent years building and testing was so broken. I mean it can’t have known. Otherwise it’s quietly, knowingly released a busted product and cynically dikeed over a large part of its fan-base."''

Many users also noted this was not a new problem among Bethesda games, and had also existed in Oblivion, Fallout 3 Game of the Year Edition, and Fallout: New Vegas.

These three issues, in addition to a number of smaller, less serious bugs players players have encountered in the game, have led some to speculate the game was rushed to release before it was ready.

We aren't professional(s), we are consumers, many who feel hard done by to say the least.

This type of positive action is fair game I think, as long as we don't lie when we change the wikipedia info, just state the facts, or at least the alternative view based on many accounts.

==Technical Issues==
Users of the Playstation 3 gaming system quickly began reporting issues concerning severe drops in frame rate and several other bugs found throughout the game. The reason for this drop in frame rate is rumored to be due to an excessive save file on the Playstation 3's hard drive. As the save files reach 6mb, players begin to experience these issues, rendering the game unplayable. As of 11/18/2011, a week after the release of the game, Bethesda Softworks has yet to release an official statement pertaining to the issues.

On 11/19/2011, Pete Hines, Vice President of Public Relations for Bethesda Softworks, released a statement via his Twitter page indicating that an update is planned to fix known issues. When asked if this update would fix the drop in frame rate, Pete Hines had no statement other than the following:

"Will provide a list of fixes once patch has been certed and no other changes will be made."

This has led to a major uproar in the Playstation community, where it is felt that there is no intention to fix the issue.


That's what's currently up there. I think that's good enough. Kudos to whoever put it

Looks good to me. Thanks to whoever put it up. Now I don't have to do it.

Yep, looks good and fair to me.

-------WIKI EDIT-------



Bethesda released Skyrim for the PC, Xbox 360, and PS3. They were so happy that they got drunk and stayed after hours. Before they had left the office, Todd Howard and the programmers put the Hardrive that contained the PS3 copy's files in a microwave for teh lolz. After the master files were shipped, burned, packaged,and released, Todd Howard called up his programmer buddies and said: "Dude, those PS3 owners are going to be so [censored] mad. LOL!"
