PS3 Release for Dawnguard.

Post » Sat Nov 17, 2012 12:49 pm

I'm disappointed and enraged at the same time, yet I'm slowly coming to peace with the fact that the PS3 will be continued to be [censored] over.
I tip my hat at thee as well as bite my thumb.

Im so pissed also, and bored with skyrim. Just releasee the dlc with the glitches, No1 cares.

I sold my original copy of Skyrim due to it being broken for several months, then upon hearing the news at E3 about DG I bought it back for full price. Now I'm on the fence about selling it and walking away with my pride.

''We are not satisfied yet with Dawnguard’s Skyrim's performance on the PS3. We would like for everyone to have a chance to play Dawnguard Skyrim, but we aren’t going to release it for PS3 knowing that some people’s experience in Skyrim will be worse HORRIBLE. We do everything we can to have our content available to all; from our free updates, to user mods, to paid DLC. We’re as disappointed as our fans when that isn’t the case, but we’ll continue to push for that reality.''

Well, I Thank you for apologizing!

But seriously, you should have done this before 11.11.11 and released Skyrim 4-5 months later when it became playable.

I thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving PS3 users some information about the state of Dawnguard.(That wasn't so hard was it?) But personally I don't care for it. That train is long gone. You're not fooling me twice! Give the people that will buy Dawnguard the game they deserve!

One thing that bothers me though: Why the need to point out that updates are free? Do you think we should be grateful for receiving "free" updates that are for fixing the game you released broken in the first place? Maybe you would like to charge us money for the fixes, and charge us money for the fixes that fixes the things that the fixes broke.
they shouldnt have released it for the PS3 at all if they cant make it work properly, then i would have buyed the game for my PC or XBOX360.
Its easy to point fingers at the PS3's Hardware or software, but i dont think thats it, because other company's make PS3 games that make most Xbox360 Games almost look like WII games in comparison, and almost without any bugs.

Why cant Beth release the broken DLC like a beta and when they feel ready to launch just resend it to PSN, like they done with The Pitt for Fallout 3? Its not fair! We havent got Dawnguard, 1.6, 1.7 and [censored]! Every other [censored] player is playing the DLC right now, and we still cant even shoot arrows from horseback! If at least they gave us a miserable $5 discount, I'd be happier, but I guess Bethesda cares more about the $$$ and [censored] the players.

They are "dissapointed for not launching it for PS3" A.K.A. "We'll release it when Microsoft stop paying our [censored] money".

Really. I was being patient until that [censored] I read 2min ago. Srry for the bad words and all, but I've completely lost my mind with this company.

You're right. Maybe they shouldn't have released the game on PS3. Maybe they should have let 4j studios port the game to PS3 (Oblivion runs better on PS3 than on XBOX). And I doubt that XBOX can run MGS4 without it looking like minecraft

So people ask for Bethesda to communicte more...


... and when they do, they are lying and shouldn't have said anything....




I give up.

Oh behave yourself. PS3 users have been bum bashed since the very start. Now bethesda release a poor statement pretending they care.....you know why that is?......they want your money again,that's why.

I've written bethesda off,and i'm xbox user. My copy of skyrim is now back at the shop.

I also have Skyrim on my PC, but ir runs like 20fps and I keep more time [censored] about graphical settings and mods than actually playing the game. And my PS3 is in a 32' LCD TV + 7.1 sound system, so that is why I plan(ned?) to buy Delayedguard for it.

To be fair, something that was never given a release date can't be considered delayed.

Bethesda should contact one of the Sony gaming studios (Naughty Dog, Santa Monica Studios etc) for assistance in coding this damn game and get the DLC working like it should. They could unload all kinds of memory hogging tasks directly onto the Cell. Do they realize all of the Anti-aliasing in God of War 3 (best AA on a console game to date) was complete undertaken by the CPU?

I have to comment though:

Sony made the unconventional system. There should have been some kind of "Sony Assistance" available to all multi-plat developers. Direct, hands-on assistance from Sony to get these multi-plat games working as they should on the PS3.

Too late now - too many lazy ports have been passed off to PS3 users and there's no going back.

Interesting. The patronizing one demands civility.
Well. This statement is odd, considering the fact that they released the GAME in far worse condition. Are they inadvertently saying they were PLEASED at the ps3's skyrim performance at release? Tsk tsk...tsk.

Haha! Surprisingly civil everyone. All week people have been calling for transparency and more info, now we got it.

Frankly I wish they had delayed the entire release for the entire game on PS3 as clearly it was very broken. I haven't plugged in the XBOX in over a year but may have made an exception for this game. I still place a portion of the blame on Sony for their lackluster and issue laden console.

What svcks most about all of this, I'm on my second character and approaching level 80 / end of game again already. Dawnguard details already feel old, I will likely be done with this game by the time the DLC arrives if it ever does.

I'll tell you one thing I learned my lesson and will never ever bother to buy another Bethesda game until a year after the fact when the greatest hits version or whatever comes out. Oblivion then Fallout 3 and then Skyrim introduced me to this company and while the games have been awe inspiringly vast and awesome, the software quality has been dwindling to the point where it pretty much ruins the game experience.

Peace out!

I'm surprised Sony hasn't sent people from there in house studios to help Bethsada. Microsoft and Nintendo have done this before from my understanding.

Are you high? They announced it will be on PS3, but not when it will be.
After this last lame status update from Bethesda Silenceworks, I even made some calculations and found DG's exact release date!

Given how wildly different the architecture of the PS3 is from other consoles and the PC, this isn't really a surprise. Games really need to be rewritten from the ground up to get the full advantages of the PS3 hardware, and maintaining a separate codebase for a huge project like this is... daunting (i.e. time consuming and very, very expensive).

With a mere 256 Mb of CPU RAM, it's amazing that it works as well as it does now. Extra processors aren't much help in a game like this that has to deal with copious amounts of data being loaded, shuffled, and changed as the player moves around the world. If only there were such a thing as a PS3 memory expansion module or something, because that console could really use some more general purpose RAM...

Edit: Before anyone replies with 'But other games...'... no. Elder Scrolls games are almost unique in the amount of data they have to process to maintain an MMOesque open world on a single client machine. Most RPGs have more locality than games like this one, because they tend not to be designed with such generality and global scale entity management in mind. It's a series of sandbox games like no other, and has unique (and considerable) memory requirements for that... and CPUs can't cache data without RAM, of which consoles have limited amounts. Frankly... it's amazing the XBox360 version runs as well as it does, much less the PS3.

They're not satisfied with the Ps3's DG performance? Yet, they sold us a broken version of Skyrim..? By this logic I'm guessing they are nowhere near ready to put DG on PS3.

At least they've had the decency to admit to having problems.

Next step: pay back the patient PS3ers who haven't thrown in the towel for their unswerving loyalty through all this, and throw money at the source of these woes so it is rectified for the next title to be released.

Sounds so simple to say it :P

Or.......Maybe Bethesda needs to bow out, admit failure, and hire the people that ported Oblivion? Hmm?

So is it pure luck that on my copy of Skyrim on PS3 the only really bad bug I've seen is the water freeze bug, which I actually played around for awhile before fixing. Been playing since 11/11/11.
same here even got the handy dandy map, but it isnt sonys fault its just that xbox is designed allot like a pc, both for the most part designed by microsoft so its easier to maintain them, but most ps3ers r used to the bugs anyways...

They are probably on vacations now that DG's been released for PC and Xbox and hired a guy to post false updates on twitter/bethblog regarding PS3

Bethesda had to have known that with the exclusive deal with Microsoft, any delay with ps3 content regarding Skyrim would be viewed negatively. I'll not be purchasing it for the pc right away. I have at least a 30 day exclusive deal with my conscience.

edit - I find it somewhat disturbing that apparently with any exclusive deal with Microsoft comes a full NDA concerning other platforms. We never did get a deployment date. It just suddenly showed-up on Steam.

If they gave some formal apologies to PS3 users and even a discount at the DLC I'd consider myself satisfied, but I find rather improbable, to not say impossible, to Bethesda even write us a "We're sorry. Now go buy our DLC and Please continue, my good sir.!"
