PS3 Release for Dawnguard - Thread #7 : V - Skyrim

» Sat Nov 17, 2012 2:01 pm

It's a new commercial strategy from Bethesda losing all the players of the ps3 ???

» Sat Nov 17, 2012 5:26 pm

And always no news from Beth ..... They want to lose all their ps3's players or what ???? I don't understand ...

Both Bethesda and I are well aware that they're not going to be losing allot of their PS3 fan base (though their next game may be a different story). They know their game Is just too fun for us to stay away from. We'll either switch systems(me) or patiently wait for the release. Sure, some people will leave, but they are few and far in between. Thus, Beth has no qualms waiting 2-6 months before they release content. :shrug:

. If it's not out by the end of August just stop coming to the forums for info. You'll be in for a heck of a wait.

I was super excited for dawnguard, i love vampires and dawnguard was going to make them look great. However, i find myself not even that excited anymore and I consider myself a paitent person. Will I get it whenever it comes out, ehh maybe. All I know is my eyes are looking at Transformer Fall of Cybertron. It comes out tomorrow just like the developers said it would and my brothers who are also skyrim fans, will play that for a long time instead of Dawnguard.

By fan base I'm guessing you mean the fan boys/girls that think beth games are the best thing since sliced bread and there's nothing wrong with the games? They are the diludeded people with more money then sense. Granted beth games are very good when working how they should but as for switching systems... If you have the luxury of owning both consoles or/and a good pc then fair enough but to go out your way and buy an xbox just because of beths lazyness is just crazyness. But I suppose this is microsofts plan and they are doing well by the looks of it.

Surely people aren't THAT gullible? I wouldn't go out of my way to spend ￡150-200 on an Xbox just because you get to play DLC 30 days earlier and therefore more buggy than the later release.

You mean 30 days and counting. This 360 exclusiveness is getting way out of hand! It's taking way too long to be released and not even a peep about when it is coming. We at least deserve some sort of explanation that is more than just "we're not happy with it." All because Beth's code monkeys can't code worth a damn!

Was there ever given a reason why they didnt use the same people they did with oblivion to port to PS3?

My guess is Beth is to cheap to pay them to do it or they are to busy on another title.

Gstaff, if you're reading this, please just give us an estimate on when Dawnguard will be ready for PS3. It does not have to be accurate, I would just like a basic estimate. I'd even be fine if the answer was simply sometime in the third business quarter.

Unfortunately guys, this is why Micro$oft buys the exclusives, the more exclusives, the more likely people will come across to 360, it's why the best worked games are the exclusives on each platform.
There will be people out who will but a system for a game, it is quite a common practice.

Oblivion came out on the Xbox 360 long before there was even a PS3 for sale, let alone a PS3 version of Oblivion, so those who liked the Elder Scroll games and wanted to play Oblivion on a next gen console, brought the Xbox 360 version. Those willing to wait hoping there might be a PS3 version, waited for the PS3 to be released and the main game and some of the DLC to be ported. Now if you have both consoles, the PS3 version of Oblivion is better, but as a fan why would you wait for a version being made for a console that does not even exist? I was surprised they even bothered getting the game ported for the PS3. I have all three version of Oblivion, I currently have the PC and Xbox 360 version of Skyrim, I will eventually get the GotY version for the PS3. But there is no way I would have brought Skyrim for the PS3 first if I could have had the Xbox 360 version. If I only had a PS3 I would have no choice. Bethesda seems to work with the Xbox 360 best, I saw no reason to change my preferred console. Especially as like with Oblivion's DLC, I was expecting Microsoft to try and out do Sony in some way.

So yes if I was a rabid fan of the Elder Scrolls games, I would have brought an Xbox 360, since that was the only next gen console on sale when Oblivion was released. As it was I brought an Xbox 360 to play the next gen version of another franchise back in 2006, saw Oblivion and fall in love with it. I would not wait 12 months extra just to play a game on the PS3, waiting extra time for DLC is not so bad. But I usually prefer to go for the console version I think is going to give me the best deal. I am a fangirl of no console, I am a fan of the games, tempt me and I show no loyalty to a specific console. Sony bothered to offer us something extra for the next game, I would as quickly buy the PS3 version first, Bethesda should have worked out how to do a decent PS3 port by then. Despite all the complaining, they did not seem to do that bad a job for Skyrim, it seemed no buggier than the Xbox 360 version.

I believe 4J Studios was busy working on Minecraft 360 edition. They are still working on updates for that game as well. I think I read Minecraft 360 edition is one of the biggest sellers on Xbox Live.

And not once since the last announcement they gave us says they are going to just keep it Xbox and PC only. It would be a bad business move on their end to deny the 1/3 of the platforms they made the base game on, and even worse that they didn't say otherwise in almost a month since the Xbox exclusivity was over. Even Gstaff posted a response simliar to mine in another thread regarding the lack of a Sony stamp for the Dawnguard forums. Don't be trollin'.

it's a bad business move to not tell us anything either. I don't think their too concerned with good and bad moves here.

I agree. The silence is becoming a bad move as well. But I think in the regard that if they weren't going to make it for the PS3 at all, waiting almost a month after the Xbox exclusivity to tell us "hey, it's not coming out for you guys after all" would of been a kick in no man's land.

They may really just not care lol

People on this forum are saying things like "I'd pay any amount of money they asked if they just give me dawnguard"

With people with such die hard trust, enthusiasm, and loyalty, they will buy whatever's next from Bethesda on PS3 whether it's a good move or bad.

Seems we have a nice amount of masochists on the PS3 where a kick in the balls is quite comforting

A news from he to us

Wow, I just read through Pete Hines' twitter. There are some very rude people posting offensive things, all because of the PS3 version of DG. I'm sorry, this is just shameful. There are grown advlts on twitter cursing and calling another grown advlt names because of a video game. These people need to grow up and learn how to behave in civil society.

Sorry, not that anyone in this thread are the people on twitter, but seriously, it is disgusting to see how rude and obnoxious people are behaving because of a video game.

» Sat Nov 17, 2012 6:32 pm

Lol at their pathetic excuse for a porting team. This is just hilarious. Ive been patient, ive waited. There are plenty of ps3 exclusive games out there that are 10x better then skyrim. TBH The fault lie in this horrible coding. Your telling me that you cant put out a simple DLC for a game thats been out for what, almost a year? HA! You guys make me laugh. You people need to start firing people and hiring people are competent and capable. Get some skilled technicians or gtfo.

Eventually there will be laws that holds someones online behavior to the same accountability as a public place. Being a [censored] is not a "freedom".

It's not really over a game, it's the concept.

Again this isn't the first time PS3 has been in a sense screwed over. Where PS3 has not been given information, where products have been delayed for up to a year, and so on and so forth. All they have to do is say a few words and most the immaturity and threats and what not would stop. If they said the game is just so buggy it needs a heck of a lot of work and won't be out for a while, people would calm down. It's the silence.

This is currently the third worst game delay of 2012 apparently, and I have to say the things on that list were games from 2008 announcements being delayed further into the years. There have been plenty of articles talking about how bethesda has essentially screwed up. People are angry, you can't expect them to just not be angry. They want information about something that everyone else has, and they just say we don't have information. PS3 players say how can you not have information when it's done for everyone else? And they just say we don't have information.

Same answer every time, and people on the PS3 just upset cause they don't get all the DLC's or all the content and such as other systems and they don't want to spend another few hundred dollars to switch over to another console and then rebuy the game and the DLC's.

All they need to do is speak, and the anger will calm down. But they refuse to speak, which again tells me that we're in for months of a wait up to a year for this to hit the PS3 users.

People are totally entitled to be upset and to voice their displeasure. It is never justified to make personal attacks on a person, or to curse at them. That is juvenile and unacceptable behavior. There has to be a line between dissatisfied customer and internet troll. Being a dissatisfied customer is totally fine, being a hostile and insulting troll is not. Of course I'm still referring specifically to the trolls on twitter. I just wanted to clear up my statement. I'm not saying don't complain, I'm saying complain all you want, but behave like rational and civil advlts while complaining.
