I hope everyone can be civil about this subject. While it's perfectly fine to have a negative opinion about the lack of a solid release date, there is a way to express yourself in a civil and mature way. We do not want to see immature hostile posts

It has been http://www.bethblog.com/2012/08/02/dawnguard-ps3-update/ that the PS3 will be a little late as they are still working to ensure acceptable performance on the platform.

We are not satisfied yet with Dawnguard’s performance on the PS3. We would like for everyone to have a chance to play Dawnguard, but we aren’t going to release it for PS3 knowing that some people’s experience in Skyrim will be worse. 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.

responding from the last thread, theres a good amount of complaints about the 360 version. If theres is deemed acceptable and it's as bad as some make it sound, then I'd assume the PS3 version is currently atrocious and unplayable.

But people definitely can complete the game with little problem, seeing as to how we have playthroughs from start to finish.

But some of the problems people are complaining about are similar to some of the ones in the base game still, for example broken quests and such. So, it may not be as bad as some people make it sound and it's just more bugs being thrown into the awareness of Bethesda.

Although I still do not expect dawnguard to be out for a few months based on the fact that we're in the dark. I still say that means that there's enough bugs where they can't quite predict anything, probably everytime they solve a problem a new one comes up.

well what you makes it sounds like is they are trying to make Dawnguard perfect. witch isn't possible for any game to be perfect. its more likely that like boiware they say there working on it about a month later a patch is released then nothing said for 2 weeks then dlc annouced.

Thats probably how it'll go. I don't expect ANYTHING before 1.8 whenever that will be, since I hear we went months without a patch prior. And I definitely don't expect anything to be perfect lol. For me personally, the game works fine after 1.7

Many hoped that'd be a sign of a soon coming dawnguard, but it's nice to hope.

Honestly if it's no worse than the 360 or PC version, I'll take it even if it's considered "broken". I won't mind. I'll just turn vampire lord and go ape sh** till it's more fixed to pass the time xD




Some people are saying why can't we play the base game. It's not that we can't it's more that the games been out for a while. I had already put my copy aside personally, many months ago, did a temporary trade to play dead island, then saw dawnguard videos and it brought me back. I made a new toon, leveled him a bit, but didn't want to progress too far because I specifically wanted a vampire lord playthrough. Currently I'm just smithing till I can make daedric again lol

[Lynette Wilson]

Well we better get it soon, as soon as August is over the other good games start rolling in.

here is where people get confused, people think Patch 1.7 didn't unlock the dlc trophies so we have to wait for the next patch. & thats isn't true. yes patches unlock the trophies but that does mean the trophies can be seen.
the only 2 ways the dlc trophies would be seen after a patch is if,
A: someone mayed a mistake like bioware did on there last dlc in mass effect 2.
B: the dlc is coming out in one or two weeks with a soild release date.
most likely Sony isn't going to show the dlc trophies until theres a soild release date.

[rebecca moody]

As I stated in the previous thread (#4), I'm just glad Beth is taking the time to get it right so it is fully functioning and up to par for release on the PS3. I'm sure there will still be bugs, but they must be delaying it for good reason. That good reason is probably a pretty serious issue which might be potentially game-breaking and it just needs a little extra TLC. Nothing wrong with that. Have a little faith, folks.

Oh no you misunderstand me, sorry probably I didn't state it clearly.

I don't use the trophies as a reason as to why I don't expect it, it's just my general estimation. I'd think since they're so worried about gameplay and it's been a bit after the patch release, that they'd want a bit more patches to run through.

Although I won't stay firm to believing that it's not until 1.8 or a month our or something until I dunno, tuesday sounds fair.

ya if u guys didnt like money so much it would be out already and a good company wouldnt accept a 30 day contract (LONGER THAN 30 DAYS) i blame xbox 4 all of this and yes it is there fault cause if they didnt have there stupid little 30 day contract bull crap then ps3 would already have it and bethesda they arent even working on trying to get it on ps3 they are too worried about dishonered and other games and the xbox

I would assume different groups would be assigned to different systems and different games in general. But that's an assumption.

But I'm pretty sure they're in the middle of planning their holiday release DLC and that they should put off.


And even without the 30 days, we still wouldn't have the game. With 30 extra days it wasn't ready, with 30 less days it wouldn't either.




It doesn't take away any of my disappointment, but nothing I can do about it.

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

I do agree that they did some stupid crap, and should've released the first copy once all the systems were finished. But still honoring the agreement with microsoft and giving it to them 30 days in advance. But the second that 30 day timer went up, immediately put up the PC and PS3 versions.

And you are aware that the coding for a PS3 and 360 are completely different right? The difference between the systems isn't only in the case and the starting menu. They've been having hell getting the game decent for PS3 over the last 8 months, They svck at coding for the PS3. Assuming that they're very close in coding and shouldn't take more than 2 days to get onto each others systems equally is like expecting to run internet explorer on DOS. Both operating systems, but very different. Although the difference would probably be more like windows to mac seeing how DOS is so very drastically different. Most people probably don't even know what it is.

I also do agree that they're a bit biased to microsoft.

But, the microsoft time is up. It's just plain them at this point as to why the game is not ready. Microsoft is completely uninvolved at this point, they only did the 30 day delay which is up. So they're out of the equation. Bethesda wouldn't say, OOH 30 day vacation!!!!

No they spent those 30 days trying to finish up their kind of half assed DLC.

No offense, I like the idea of the DLC and stuff but from all the bugs I'm hearing about and graphical issues, a few actually game breaking bugs when looking at the forum, it does sound rushed and half assed. But Bethesda, GIMME THE HALF ASSED WORK! lol I would gladly be in the same boat as the 360 players with their bugs. I mean I've only experienced no crashing since 1.7 was issued so what's so horrible about me going back to it? xD


But yeah, I'd say you're looking at things a bit too skewed. Yes they kind of screwed us over a little bit, customers are displeased. And I think it very well could take over a month to make a DLC transfer to another system. And I do think it could very well be another month or two. We're in the dark, it's not good news to hear no news.

We have no choice but to wait. But I'd love for bethesda to come out and tell me if it's 6 months, 2 months, a week, or what lol. PM me I'll stay quiet. If you lied then I'll just continue to stay quiet, and go back to speculating based off of the situation.

And programming isn't very simple. PS3 has had a great deal more issues compared to the 360 since release.

I'm upset and hold it against bethesda for not having more competent programmers when other companies do just fine on PS3, I hold it against them for not having all systems versions up and running at a playable level before releasing to 360, but in no way at all is this microsoft unless Bill Gates has sneak lvl 1000 and microsoft went behind everyones back and paid off bethesda to have a silent further delay for sony players, and then crouched so he magically disappeared xD

Microsoft isn't part of our equation any longer, unless... sneak lvl 1000







Oh and random question, please don't take it offensively, but is there a reason you capitalize the first letter of every word and not the s in PS3? It comes across as excited, but not angry excited, just excited lol.

It would take me like an extra 2-3 minutes to type everything I did that way.

that could be the case. but i can't speak for anyone else but for me, if they wait longer then august to release this dlc for ps3 then i would be getting it until maybe january of 2013 because i'm not going to wait for a dlc that should have been worked on & finished for all platforms before any verison of dawnguard was released. we are coming close to the 2 month mark of waiting for dawnguard. & i'm not waiting longer then that just for one dlc.

[suniti]

Came back to check on the status of DLC, saw the sticky announcement about how they are "not yet satisfied". That's cool, I haven't played Skyrim in 2 months or more. At this point, Dawnguard isn't enough to get me back in to the game, so it's peace out until the next Fallout game.

The new Madden and COD games come out soon, and there's no way I'm gonna go back to Skyrim after that. Seriously not complaining here, just think they would have been better off releasing DLC a little sooner. That may not have been possible, but it's an unfortunate reality for this game.

[Melissa De Thomasis]

Yeah madden, borderlands 2, battlefield xpac. Anyway maybe it was a 30 day deal for PC and six month deal for ps3. Makes sense, PC isnt in competition with consoles. Also previous exclusivity deals didnt even include PC, fallouts.

[Soraya Davy]

Just saw Pete HInes's latest Twitter response to someone asking about info regarding a PS3 dawnguard release He said and I quote "The status hasn't changed. We will provide info if/when it does"

I must say that although I thought all those people who were saying it may not come out on PS3 were crazy... this response does not give me the assurance that I was hoping for. For all of you who were like me and were totally convinced DG was gonna come out on PS3 for sure, how does this tweet make you feel?

I'm not so sure Beth will be able to get it to us. It sounds as though they are having a really hard time with it. I wish they would just hire someone to port it. They obviously can't do it themselves.

[Lizs]

Itll come out at the end of august or in 3 weeks. Watch.

[celebrity]

I don't understand why they don't just say when it'll come out. I mean they obviously knew when it was going to come out for PC, and they didn't choose to announce it until the day it came out.

[Mr.Broom30]

I don't understand why they don't just say when it'll come out. I mean they obviously knew when it was going to come out for PC, and they chose to announce it the day it came out.

They honestly dont care anymore about ps3. The money that they got from microsoft ensured it. Being a ps3 user, im really pissed, but what can we do?

[Stacy Hope]

Maybe theyre worried giving information would somehow make them look bad and come back to haunt them.......wait what? LMAO!! Irony!!! Irony!!!

[+++CAZZY]

Can sony only release dlc's to the playstation store on tuesdays and thursdays?

[Neil]

Can sony only release dlc's to the playstation store on tuesdays and thursdays?

i don't think they have to but they do it to release all there new content that they tested & comfirmed is ready to be released.

[vanuza]

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.

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.
