in my eyes no news means they havent even been working on it, otherwise ther would always be news (good or bad its still news).
so saying there is no news just shows how mutch they care about there PS3 customers.

Well some news I found is that patch 1.7 should come out thursday for North America and next week for europe so maybe they will pull a Beth and drop it on us like they did with PC! Here's to Hoping!!! http://www.examiner.com/article/skyrim-1-7-update-headed-to-ps3-and-xbox-360-this-week

are you sure about next week coming to europe?

That's what the article said. Personally I dont understand the delay europe has to NA but....

Ok so you release your games for another system 30 days early? Ok...

Thats fine. But don't release it to them until ALL OF YOUR GAMES ARE DONE!

How are you gonna agree to that, then give them the game, then after the time stated still not give it?

We literally want to give you our money.

You don't want bugs? Well I guess we won't be getting the game for 6 years or so because the base game is still bugged... So based on that I'm freakin scared as to when I'll be able to download this.

Give us an estimation date. Thats all alot of us want. Give us some freaking closure. That way we won't be sitting here for days trying to wonder when the game will come out. You know what will happen? Our need for instant gratification will fade, our frustration will grow, and rather we'll forget about the whole thing and when the DLC is out we won't know if we want it or not.

I stopped playing skyrim, randomly I saw a video for dawnguard, looked up some gameplay and was like oh crap I wanna play!

But no, I happen to own a PS3 and while I watch all these people play I can't so much as know WHEN I can play. Not a matter of money, just a matter of what I'll chalk up to bad business sense. So many people are frustrated and so many of them would lose their frustration if a general estimation on release date were given.

You have a deal with microsoft? Well they must be SOOO happy to know that Sony players aren't getting the game for even longer than you agreed to.

Just let me know when I can play the game if ever at all. Hell I considered buying the game for PC even cause I'll be gone eventually, so I was just gonna buy it earlier than planned and just grab the DLC there but my computer isn't up to par.

I own a 360, red ring of death after warranty is gone. So now? I'm just wanting a date. All I want from you guys. If you can release the game in less than a week without announcing it fine. I won't just stop caring by then. If you wait 1-2 months with ABSOLUTLY NO INFO, then I will no longer care. I won't actually even want to give you my money at that point.

But if you tell me, and calm the frustration, then it wont be bad at all waiting. I'll just put money off to the side and life will continue. Now if it ends up being a year wait then I'll just be pissed and like everyone else, I will never again by a bethesda game for PS3 seeing as to how you can't even handle it in the least if that were to happen, and seeing as to how I wouldn't be treated equal at all for using a PS3.

Probably what microsoft wants. So people eventually just start using the 360 or Windows so they can play instead and all the skyrim players just stop buying DLC on sony...

I was trying to point out that just because there's no Sony/Playstation3 logos doesn't mean that Dawnguard isn't coming to PS3. The fact that it is now out for Windows and its logo is not yet posted is further proof that there is no conspiracy.

I don't think there's any conspiracy (though I'm still not certain that it will come if it continues to suffer technical problems). I was just pointing out they've been a little slow on updating the bottom of the page.

I think it is a little sad that Bethesda are unable to even give information for the release of Dawnguard for PS3 when the PC and X-Box versions are out already, other than to say they aren't happy with performance. If PS3 is more difficult to code for wouldn't it have made sense to look at that one first? Instead it seems that they have finished X-Box and PC versions and then looked at PS3 last... seems an odd way of doing things if the PS3 version was known to them to be more difficult.

I have Skyrim for PC and PS3 but my main character is on PS3 so I would want Dawnguard for the PS3. I dealt with the bugs and problems of Skyrim and spent hours building my character always waiting for the DLC but never expected that the DLC might never come out on PS3 like some people seem to be suggesting. Could this really be true?

I can't speak for the delay with the PC version of Dawnguard , but it's pretty obvious to me that the PS3 delay situation was inevitable. The game shipped on 11/11/11 in a"time bomb state" for many people. In my case once 10-12 mb save files were reached, then the game started convulsing, lagging, freeezing up, a real nasty situation. Patch 1.4 came out a few months later, cleaned it up some, with some minor tradeoffs like cutting back on graphic quality a little bit. However once my save files hit the 16- 18 mb size , I was back to square one. Meant it was time to re-roll.

Bethesda admits they are struggling getting Dawnguard to an acceptable state. We may actually see Dawnguard, but I'm wondering if they won't have to alter the content some to make it work. Mounted combat to be in, but no flaming horses or hovering V-lords , as the coding structure simply won't handle the additional memory requirements? And if they can somehow deliver it, what will the actual quality of it be? If they can barely get it to work, can we really expect to see any more DLCs afterwards, if it adds even more memory load on the game? I wish I could be more optimistic about this, but everything Bethesda has demonstrated to me thus far is that, they really need some help coding for the PS-3. I hope they got it...

Damn, so you people are getting Dawnguard before me? The first vampiric based DLC for Skyrim and I won't even be able to purchase it the first day to honor it?

Damn the yellow light of death!

I guess you are right. I had some lagging problems on PS3 too. I now have a stable level 68 character though so I guess I'm lucky that the 1.4 patch fixed most things for me. It seems to me that they should be able to afford help with the PS3 coding though. Or is it so that after taking 70€ from me (that's what 85USD?) for PS3 copy of Skyrim as well as everyone else who paid good money for Skyrim for the PS3 they just don't want to spend the money to get this right? That's pretty insulting to PS3 users.

Honestly, i think we should all be grateful for patch 1.7 first. Lets all get that downloaded, and start with that. It is progress, maybe not as much as we had hoped, but progress none the less. That is the first step toward PS3 players getting dawnguard.

So here's a question, why doesn't Bethesda release the latest patch and the Dawnguard DLC as beta for the PS3?

I think it would be a good idea in general, provided the version they have now isn't crashing to kingdom come and it would give the PS3 users something to work with until the full release. Also, if Bethesda is truly concerned with a quality release on the PS3 beta testers, will surely catch bugs that QA staff alone won't be able to. It especially makes sense since Bethesda had a beta release of Dawnguard for the Xbox 360 version.

It's fairly obvious that the majority of Bethesda's effort and support as far as Skyrim DLC goes, is skewed towards the XBOX 360 platform with the early beta testing and the timed exclusive for the Dawnguard DLC. From Bethesda's own business perspective I'm sure it makes sense, they get extra revenue from Microsoft for the timed exclusive contract, they get a larger chunk in the earlier sales since the X360 presumably has the largest install base.

Those who game on the PC platform, I'm sure felt slighted as they had to wait for the 30 day "timed exclusive" clause to run down, especially since the more "hardcoe" gamers have invested in buying or putting together a gaming PC capable of playing Skyrim, not to mention the subsection of avid gamers who play and create mods for Skyrim, but at the very least they still have the latest patch and they have their timely release of the Dawnguard DLC 30 days after the X360 release.

As a gamer who plays exclusively on the PS3 console, it's difficult to not feel slighted, especially since other "multiple platform" developers seem to be getting it right in terms of sticking to multi platform release dates, coming out with simultaneous multi platform releases, and even in cases where the PS3 has to wait for a timed exclusive game and/or DLC, the release is as good and as bug free as the releases on other platforms.

All this waiting is completely stupid. I am not longer willing to spend my money on Dawnguard, this is ridiculous.

Can someone explain to me what i have to do when the patch is released? Do i have to download it? I am a PS3 user. How does this work?

1st thing bethesda needs to do is fire their ps3 teams im 90%sure they lied on their resumes
2. have some1 else port the game
3.hire people with experience not 16 year olds
4. dont make exclusives with microsoft cuz u will lose out in the end cuz u will probably gave to cut prices 4 dawngaurd by allot to make a decent amount of sales now due to some anomoly people hate called school(probably useless in the long run)

Thursday, boot up Skyrim, and allow the system to download the patch. You have to be connected to the internet.

How will i know if it's working? Will there be a prompt?

And do i actually have to start the game? Or do i just connect to the PSN?

Couldn't agree with you more well said thanks ps3 owner.

You should just have to sign into PlayStation network, and then start the game. It will then prompt you that there is a patch available. Select confirm download patch and you're on your way.

Well in the end it seems they really dont care about there ps3 fans at all and have shown us little respect so I'm not going to give any more of my money peroid to this company I'm going to put the money towards a company that caresabout there customers!

I am getting excited....i can feel Dawnguard on the Horizon!

I think ps3 users should ban buying the dlc at all and then see if they like that then will say well we might buy it in 3 months if we can work out the financial bugs associated with buying from someone who thinks the companys always right and not the customers always right.

Hey were not beggers we paid for this game same as everyone else grateful has nothing to do with it.
