PS3 Release for Dawnguard - Thread #14

Post » Sun Nov 18, 2012 9:28 am

Everyone needs to 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 or personal insults against other forum members.

It has been http://www.bethblog.com/2012/08/02/dawnguard-ps3-update/ that the PS3 version will be delayed a bit as they are still working to ensure acceptable performance on the platform.
Also we now have the news that the https://twitter.com/elderscrolls/status/239177833199583235 so hopefully Dawnguard for the PS3 is closer. (**Now released**)

Earlier in the month, we provided an update on Dawnguard's status for PS3.

It's been a few weeks, and we wanted to make sure everyone knows where we're at with Dawnguard. Skyrim is a massive and dynamic game that requires a lot of resources, and things get much more complex when you're talking about sizable content like Dawnguard. We have tried a number of things, but none of them solve the issue enough to make Dawnguard good for everyone. The PS3 is a powerful system, and we're working hard to deliver the content you guys want. Dawnguard is obviously not the only DLC we’ve been working on either, so the issues of adding content get even more complicated. This is not a problem we’re positive we can solve, but we are working together with Sony to try to bring you this content.

We wish we had a more definitive answer right now. We understand the frustration when the same content is not available on all platforms. When we have an update, we will certainly let you know. We deeply appreciate all the time and support you have given us, and we’ll keep doing our best to return that.

Superior console :laugh:

All of my friends who have xbox's have broken (red ring thing you guy have) and have needed to be replaced whlist I still have my orginal PS3, hell i dropped it once and it still works fine ;)

although seriously we don't need some annoy xbox really devoted fan here so please go away.

Well now, looks like someone forgot the milk in their tea this morning.

I have no alliances with the Xbox 360, nor the PS3, To be perfectly fair I'm more of a PC gamer for the obvious reasons, but I have both consoles, and have played them quite a lot, and I can say with my head held up high that te Xbox is the better console, there's
no bias going on here my dear fire starter.

And of course, the old "omg all my xboxz and friends xboxzs gots the red rings, pee SSS three 4 lyfe"

Now, I did encounter this problem once before, and it was an unconvince, but safely say it was mostly my fault, bit taking care of the thing, giving it enough ventilation, and the Xbox did have some overheating problems, which haven't been a problem since 2007, the way MS handled the problem was quite astounding, they sent me back a repaired Xbox with brand new motherboards and such that solved the overheating problems, and i have that Xbox to this day, and with these beat new Xbox slims, the red ring had been completely obliterated.

And the fact that you and your best mates have went through so many consoles....well it plainly comes down to your silliness, I'm guessing you have had them running in carpets and confined spaces or some ridiculaious spot under your tv.

So long story short my chum, that card hasnt been relavent in quite awhile.

Well chaps, it's seems you should have just bought the superior console, not here to star any trouble, just logically, the Xbox is the better gaming platform to be quite honest.

And in regards to call of duty, it really hasn't changed a dam bit, and money can do a lot if things, something activist on had a lot of.

And sir, and I don't know who your source of information is but the only call of duty game that was r a bloody disaster was cod four.

I find it funny how you siad your not here to start any trouble but insult poeple by saying they should have bought a console that 1. they may find inferior not superior 2.not to there likely and find the game on PS3 more intresting than that of the Xbox(this is were I am) and 3. dont want to waste 60 for online when they are already paying for there internet.

Engine can be tweaked to work a little bit better. But nobody likes to develop for PS3.

People like John Carmack or Gabe Nevel has said this long ago.

And since then they've changed their mind.

The best console version of Rage is the PS3 version once you install the game to the HDD.

Portal 2 on PS3 includes Steamworks and cross-play between PS3 and Steam players and includes a free copy of Portal 2 on Steam.

Well my friend I think you have lost what you think the word insult means, I wasnt insulting anyone, I was just stateing my opinion on what I thought of the console, through my experience with it, if I was insulting anyone, it would be the PS3 its self.

And like I said, I'm not here to start world war three, of which you are trying to provoke.

No I think my word of insult is just right. Telling poeple they should have bought another console just because you, you yourself find it better and they may not(for the reason stated above) and because one certian game out of many doesn't work for thier console when it's not thier fualt it doesn't work on thier console. I am not trying to provoke anything but I am question you now on why a more PC gamer is in a PS3 thread.

Yes it is Sony's fault because they have created the worst console ever.

Both XBOX and PS3 are junk, nut PS3 is more complicated junk.

Worst console ever? Really? Have you heard of the Philips CD-i? The 3DO? The Apple Pippin? The Nokia N-Gage?

The PS3 is an amazing piece of hardware, far superior to the consoles I just mentioned. http://folding.stanford.edu/English/FAQ-PS3

To be honest, and I don't mean to insult anyone when I say this, but I bought the collector's edition for PS3, so I paid more for the game than most other people. Not only that but I also bought the guide. If anything, I think I have more of a right to get pissed off when I am told that I may not be able to get content that other platforms already have, especially since I invested nearly $200 in it already.

However, I am sure that Bethesda doesn't mean to say that PS3 will never get any content at all if they can't get Dawnguard's issues worked out, and I hope my faith is rewarded. I truly hope so. But now my fiancee' is having me look into prices for an Xbox because she wants me to have a chance to play Dawnguard and all future DLC. I am blessed to have such a caring fiancee'. But I don't want her to have spend so much more on me than she already has.

Please Bethesda, continue working with Sony and get these technical issues worked out.

PS: If it's any consolation to anyone, I have been looking over Pete Hines' twitter feed, and he has stated twice already that Dawnguard IS in fact playable on PS3, just not in all cases, as everyone's save game is different. Not sure if anyone has even bothered to look. That at least offers a little bit of hope. Not much but some.

I still play consoles quite regularly, so I have a right to have a discussion, and I'm just trying to bring some order to these threads, some outside view not completely blinded by their fandoms.

I think logically and realistically, and to be fair I was quite the PS3 really devoted fan at one point, and one day I just put one and one together, I think it might have been the day the security disaster happened, guess that was the last straw, was pretty much done with the PS3, and now that i think back it was quite a bad experience to be perfectly honest, the UI, the amount of fence you have to go through to do simple things, it's just added frustration that I didn't need.

So bugthesda is working on dawnguard mmmm really , i think they should take a look at the unfinished broken SKYRIM maybe this is where the problem started , bugthesda is well known for bringing half lame finished products out that clearly they havnt tested and they are the only devs i know who think the PS3 is difficult to code , EA and UBISOFT, ROCKSTAR etc etc dont find it difficult so i think bugthesda has been found out they are not as good as they think they are .

Dawnguard hype has gone for me and many other PS3 gamers , you bugthesda took way too long on the dlc and your PR if you can call them that are the worst ive ever heard , i am not going to buy dawnguard or any of your future products (i pre ordered Dishonoured and i cancelled that as well) until you can actually make a finished polished product for the PS3 .

Before all the dawnguard hype i was thinking of maybe getting Fallout 4 and Prey 2 but not anymore :down: :down:

No they did not changed their minds. Developing for PS3 doesn't mean that you like it. You must develop for this console if you want to sell more copies.
This is so logical.

Both XBOX and PS3 can achieve similar graphic quality. But for XBOX is much easier to develop. Do i need to say more.

Rage? People want to play Skyrim not Rage. Rage is very quickly forgotten, history.

So your solution is to tell everyone to play games on PC, even if they can't? Not very fair, although I will admit that there are limitations on consoles compared to PC.

What stops you to play on PC?

I don't mind an outside opionion but saying you should have bought another console is not the right way to go about. I try to think outside of the box i'm not the whole [censored] you Beth (well I am but only when I catch them out in a lie). I have a bit of hope in them (although thats slowing dying) I can see where thier coming form whether thier just looking for an excuse or telling the truth. I admit the whole hacking thing was annoy but I am not paying for online so I can't really say anything agianst Sony for getting hacked cause to me paying for online also means paying for protection from hacking and I heard Beth got hacked twice this year but they never said anything about so I give Sony that one for coming and saying that they got hacked rather than hide it. But if memeory serves me I think didn't Microsotf get hacked in 2007(Not trying to start anything just saying that everyone can get hacked).

PS3 Release for Dawnguard - Thread #Whatever


Is what this thread is about. That and subjects relevant to that issue. What system is 'teh uber1337!!!!11one1111" is off topic and frankly no good for anything other than starting arguments with an already beleaguered subset of the SKyrim player-base.

Xbox, PC, or PS3; it doesn;t matter one whit because we are all gamers. This current situation with Bethesda transcends any and all possible squabbling over how a game is played.

So please, pretty please, with a cherry on top - can you please stop the unnecessary console warfare?

What stops you to play on PC?

I guess it hasn't occurred to you that some people have different circumstances. I have Skyrim on PC but I have also been very sick since October 2011. Sitting up at my desk or even going to my office to use the computer was very difficult for me. I ordered Skyrim on PS3 so that I could play it while I was sick without having to get up. I have since started to get better but my health is erratic. I might find myself unable to go to my office again in the future. My point is that everyone is different. Consoles provide an easy way for someone like me to play games. I have no doubt that there are other people in similar situations to me or even more severe cases. Just because you find it easy to play on PC doesn't mean everyone does. Now that I am feeling better I have played a bit on PC and I agree that there are advantages but unfortunately I don't always have the option.

Just want Bethesda to know that I play on the PS3 console. I understand there is propaganda to be made by releasing a DLC first on a specific console, it helps create a competitive market. I also understand that the Xbox was the first console to have the Elder Scrolls franchise, but at the same time there are plenty of PS3 players out there also. I also understand that you are not the only company who has had issues with DLC for the PS3, but you are the only company that seems to be totally ripping us. You first say the DLC will be made availble to us 30 days after Xbox then you say its going to be in the fall and now you say we might not get it at all! Well I say you will never get my money again! I have played most of your games available on the PS3 console (Rage, Elder Scroll Oblivion, Brink, The Fallout series, and I planned on getting Dishonored but will switch my preorder to some other game). This is really disheartening as a fan of your games, and I can assure you many other PS3 users feel the same!

This man speaks the truth. If you are here just to have petty debates about which console is better, go somewhere else. The fact of the matter is that some if not most of us are in a situation where we can only have one console. Giving us crap about it is a pretty dike-ish thing to do.

Can't blame the Sony or the console. Again there are games just as or more graphically and ram intense as Skyrim that run beautifully on PS3. Bethesda didn't take the time or dedication to figure out and got lazy because they get the best profit margin for selling a broken product, rather than investing a little bit to code something properly for a platform and then selling a quality product.

They couldn't figure it out on their own and asked for Sony's help and Sony right now is probably saying something like "We'll do the best we can, but with what you're giving us here, it's like trying to use a stone hammer to assemble a stained glass window".

I wouldn't say they're falling, because they made record profits from each platform, and of course total profits too. In other words: they have your money, and they don't really give a [censored] if they fail the ps3 gamerbase.
