PS3 Release for Dawnguard - Thread #20

Post » Sun Nov 18, 2012 2:00 pm

It does take more effort to code for the PS3 but the outcome can be very amazing once a developer learns its potential. There are many games that really captivate the strength of the PS3. Games like Metal Gear Solid, Uncharted and many more show this entirely. While Skyrim is a bigger game, the problems its encountered have never really been seen with other games. The larger games such as RDR and KoA have run flawlessly on the PS3. It really makes me wonder is it really the PS3 or is it Bethesda? and I'm leaning toward Bethesda.

Being completely honest it's a bit of both however the majority of the blame is Bethesda's fault.

Its Bethesda's Complete Fault. Not Sony's Console. Bethesda decided to port a Game that was optimized for the 360 witch is not perfect either and is having problems with the DLC.(Freezes, Crashes, [censored]ter) They have been working with the PS3 for a while now to know what the PS3 "limits" are and how it works. If the Game is to "much" for the PS3 (witch i doubt) then why did they decided release it on PS3?

The Answer is simple the PS3 Veraion of all other their games like Fallout were just released for quick cash. Bethesda cleary doesnt care about the PS3 fanbase and their favorite console is the 360 they have said it many times before, even PC players get neglected at times.

If they dont want to take their time and optimize the game for PS3, then I think they should go back to making their Elder Scrolls games on Xbox & PC only.

Pete Hines was asked to do an interview after IGN found out that he didn't like their recent video. They wanted him to correct any mistakes they made. He refused, which leads me to believe that Pete didn't like the video because it was true.

I'll give Bethesda until November to release DG and/or Hearthfire before I give up all hope. Borderlands 2 will hold me over until then, and then if DLC still has not been released, it looks like I'll be moving back to CoD, something I don't want to do.

But more on topic, Bethesda said that DG doesn't work only in a few cases, and that it works fine for others. PS3 these games are relying more and more on cached data stored on the HDD. I suspect that on the cases where it doesn't work that the console has little or no hard drive space left. In my opinion Beth should just release the DLC, and if it doesn't work then the user can clean their HDD or replace it with a SSD.

Then again this is all theoretical, based on the information that Beth has given us, which doesn't say much...

I don't think skyrim excels in really any one area, but is simply a more versatile game.

If you look at it in that sense, it would be like having one really complicated scripted game or a simple game that's stretched out alot.

Technically the resources are the same, it's just what was done with it.

You can fit simpler things in a larger area, and more complicated things in a smaller one.

It may not make sense but how I see it in my head makes perfect sense. It's like a ratio. The more complicated the smaller the game, the less complicated the larger the game. The game itself isn't necessarily complicated, just very very large.

The issue is Skyrim is memory intensive and the PS3 has very restricted internal memory, Bethesda is aware of it and has been. They have tried with previous games to work around the memory issue but there is only so much they can do without altering the game in a major way, Which would make different it from its PC and Xbox 360 counter parts. I don't think any PS3 fan wants the game to be drastically different in such a way that it effects the feel of the game in a negative fashion.

June 26th-Fine with waiting the 30 days for Dawnguard. Super Excited for Release
July 26th-Angry with Beth but Im sure they must have their reasons. Excited for Release
August 2nd-Bethesda what the heck is going on? Anxious for Release
August 28th-Really Bethesda? You're releasing Hearthfire in a week when you haven't even released Dawnguard? Excitement almost worn off.
August 30th-Sigh, Why am I not surprised. Barely Excited for Dawnguard.
September 9th-75 Days since Dawnguard was released on Xbox. Not Excited about Dawnguard anymore.

I'll possible still get Dawnguard (if it actually comes out) for the sake of it, but the excitement for Dawnguard has worn off.

I just wonder what happened to Bethesda as a developer. Is this what success does to people? Are they just another EA now? Is this just the shape of things to come from all successful publishers? Mojang next? Who else will disregard polished products for quick cash? At least I can say this whole ordeal has been a learning experience. Much like getting goose-egged in a rivalry game, or trying to win an argument with a girlfriend.

According to studies done by the Technical Assistance Research Programs (TARP), for every irritated

customer who complains, 26 do not, even though they have grievances. That means that if a company

receives 10 customer complaints, there are probably 260 customers out there who have complaints but

don’t voice them…at least not to the company. The reality is you probably don’t know how many

dissatisfied customers you have because DISSATISFIED CUSTOMERS DO NOT COMPLAIN.

Well, you might say, if they don’t complain they can’t be all that dissatisfied. A dangerous assumption to

make! Non-complaining customers who are unhappy with your product and/or service are probably

frustrated with the situation and mad at themselves for not saying anything. They are least likely to buy

from your company again and they are most likely to tell someone else about their negative experience

with your company. On the average, a customer who has had an unpleasant experience with a business

will tell 9 or 10 other people and about 13% will tell more than 20 other people. This negative word-ofmouth

can be more dangerous to your business than any catastrophe Mother Nature could dish out!

But wait…can’t these customers just be replaced? Yes they can…however, it will cost you! Market data

indicates that is usually costs FIVE TIMES as much to get a new customer as it does to keep an existing

one.

Nice info didnt know that. Also i dont know if anyone cares but i have given up on all hope for dawnguard and allot of hope for bethesda.

do NOT buy Fallout 4 new. Buy it used. Every purchase is a vote for how companies should conduct their business.
