PS3 Release for Dawnguard - Thread #5 : V - Skyrim

» Sat Nov 17, 2012 6:47 pm

Well thats not good news but anything can happen they release, the pc verison of dawnguard out of no where. so i wouldn't doudt it happening the same way here on ps3.
but all i know is if this dlc isn't release by the end of august, Bethesda's credibility flys out the winbow.

In all truth this setback they've done with a popular game that many people already did play, has thrown much of their credibility out the window. However, if they don't release any DLC at all at this point with all the tension it's stirred up, lack of information, and blah blah blah, then they would truly have screwed things up. And the customers would feel screwed over.

If they can't get it out in less than a month they may feel screwed over. Sometimes stuff like this can be really time sensitive.

You don't think not giving the pc a true release for dawnguard wasn't screwing over the pc gamers? i think it was.

the fact is, i'm not waiting more then 2 months for a dlc. i feel if we get dawnguard by around december, thats called we got screwed over big time.

pc gamers got dawnguard 3 days after 1.7 came out for them. Is it wrong to think it will come out tomorrow because it's the 3rd day?

» Sat Nov 17, 2012 7:04 pm

In my opinion this is oblivion all over again. I doubt after they announced the difficulty of releasing just one dlc, that this may be the only dlc we get(if we even get it). People need to understand that no matter how genuine they sound when they say they are working hard to bring ps3 players dawnguard, at least we tried will be their cushion. An equal game is what we deserve and probably won't have whether we have dawnguard or not.

Yes. Even if it "came out" tomorrow, we would have to wait until Tuesday (or Wednesday depending on where you live) when the PSN store updates.

Someone says cause it'll make more of an uproar when it's wrong, but just look at how this thread has died down today.

It used to be we'd have at least 2-3 pages by now. We're still on page one. People gave up already.

Yeah, but then again all the PC gamers posting in the thread are gone, so it should be about half the length.

Edit: Guess it is 2 pages after all.

Well they were a bit screwed over, but I don't think it's been as bad as the PS3. Again they're biased to the 360 more than any other system.

The PS3 has always been filled with more bugs and all in all, when the PC hits a bad bug they have mods and console commands to fix them. But that's just cause they're on the PC, just so happens to be their luck.

PS3 seems to be getting a crappier end of the stick.

Haha now it's two pages. But it's about the end of the day. The entire thread sometimes would be reset in one days time. We hit 2/7 pages lol.

thats true. but luckly for me i haven't delt with too many bugs in skyrim.

This coming Tuesday sounds like the likeliest of dates. PC got it 3 days after the patch. It only makes sense for PS3 to get it 3-4 days after the update.

Likeliest, maybe. but who knows. i feel like from what has been said it isn't coming on tuesday. but i would be happy if i am wrong.

Tuesday is pretty much my last hope. If it comes out then YAY!!!

If not, then, well I kind of expected it lol. So... I just am trying to keep my hopes up.

thats true. but luckly for me i haven't delt with too many bugs in skyrim.

I didn't get ALL the bugs that people list for the PS3, but my main bug was an every 10min crash, and crashes on auto saves, and just random walking around boom crash. I had so many crashes it was ridiculous I had to save every time I opened a door lol.

But I was still able to make it through the whole game. With 1.7 out I've yet to crash, only had a bugged nightingale hood once (but it was irreversible without loading an older file), and the thieves guild hoods probably don't work on vampires still. I dunno, made a new character again, just trying to prepare for DG if and when it comes out.

Dood It Dosent Take Them A Month And 15 Days To Make The DLC Work On Ps3 Like I Said Earlier If It Wasnt 4 Microsofts 30 Day Contract We Wold Be Playing Dawnguard On Our Ps3`s Even If It Took A Month To Put It On Psn We Wouldve Had Access To It 15 Days Ago. And Still What Was Bethesda Even Doing During The Contract They Couldve Gotten It Ready So That Way After The 30 Day Contract It Wouldve Been On Ps3. There Just Too Worried About Microsofts Money They Dont Care About People That Own A Ps3

If it is not ready after all this time, it would not have been ready 15 days ago. Letting someone have a timed exclusive for the version they had ready never stopped them working on the PC and PS3 versions. The exclusive period is up, the PS3 version is still not ready, they just need more time.

lol exactly. They have nothing to do with PS3 being delayed once the delay has passed.

Probably Bethesda knew there was a chance there would be a delay, or they would have at least given a release date for the PC version once they knew when the Xbox 360 version was officially released. They were very quiet, never said anything about release dates for the PC or PS3 versions. I can understand them saying noting, a publisher of another franchise I play always rushes dates out the door before they are a sure thing, they are just too enthusiastic, and the fans really hate being given a date that turns out not to be right. Better to say nothing than to give a date and not have it ready by then.

At the Quake Con Panel, Bethesda said Skyrim was rushed because of the date deadline. Couldn't they just give us a date work according to that?

This thread gets more and more depressing.....

Plain and simple truth is no matter what happens PS3 player will be charged full price of $20 for DG, bethesda will shurg off the idea of a discount, and the cycle will continue on.

I feel like a broken record here. casue this the third or forth time I posted this.

Yup. After Tuesday all my hopes gone. Summers just about gone at this point.

» Sat Nov 17, 2012 5:25 pm

What I find most intriguing is that the guys at Bethesda "supposedly" made all that extra content shown in that popular SkyrimGameJam video in just one week. How the heck can't they FIX Dawnguard for PS3 in two weeks?

no matter how many times you post it, it doesn't make it any less true.

thats a great point. you are right.

sadly true.... but probable not going to happen...

New to the forum, just wanted to speak at the bolded bit of the following

Probably Bethesda knew there was a chance there would be a delay, or they would have at least given a release date for the PC version once they knew when the Xbox 360 version was officially released. They were very quiet, never said anything about release dates for the PC or PS3 versions. I can understand them saying noting, a publisher of another franchise I play always rushes dates out the door before they are a sure thing, they are just too enthusiastic, and the fans really hate being given a date that turns out not to be right. Better to say nothing than to give a date and not have it ready by then.

Not picking on the poster here, but moreso the sentiment which i have seen around on the net various places. Saying nothing can be the worst possible thing to do sometimes. And i can safely say this is one of those times.

"Due to unforeseen technical issues, both the PC and PS3 versions of the Dawnguard DLC are taking longer than expected to be made ready for release. Please bear with us while we work to remedy this situation. We will be getting updated info out as it becomes available. Thanks in advance for your understanding."

There is a three sentence blurb that would have forestalled a great deal of grief that Bethesda has had to deal with on this issue to date. Hindsight is 20/20 and all that, but imo if something of that level had been released the day after the 360 exclusivity period had ended, they would have been golden. True, there still would have been a nice little uproar, but it would have been nothing like what happened. And it would have subsided rather quickly most likely.

Resentment is the only good thing to come out of the silence from Bethesda. Though it was good for rival game devs sadly.

HAHA THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT TOO!!!!

Of course they probably showed it for the PC or 360, and showed it only when they worked not any of the bugged scenes.

Personally, I'm already deciding how to spend the $20 I would have spent on DG. I think it will be released eventually, but not in August and obviously the summer will be over then and I'll be investing the small amount of gaming time left into some of the games coming out this year, mainly Assassin's Creed 3.
