PS3 Release for Dawnguard - Thread #25

Post » Sun Nov 18, 2012 9:48 am

If you look to their blog, apparently they're http://www.bethblog.com/2012/10/05/friday-fun/.

My favorite part is the Playstation Magazine blow-up with Skyrim on the cover. Glad to see they're hard at work fixing things for their customers.

I hate them so much and I hate those masks, especially the gold one, I want to burn it.

Well, that pisses me off quite a bit. Coincidence or not.

After all, anything that says "Playstation" is not allowed anywhere a Bethesda employee.

I think it should be the other way around, Bethesda personnel have no buisiness being anywhere near a PS3 as they have proved again.

This is my post from the previous thread but it was right at the end before it was closed so I'm going to repost it here;

That's a good point about Bugthesda 'screwing' MS. MS paid money to have a month headstart with DG but recently Pete Hines tweeted that it wouldn't matter if that exclusivity deal never mattered and that we still wouldn't have PS3 DG so therefore MS paid money for this deal for no reason. Hmmm. You could say that it meant that the XBOX had DG a month before PC and therefore MS did technically get an exclusivity deal but it's not the same in my opinion, the XBOX and PC are not competing in the same way as the PS3 and the XBOX does and I suspect MS feel the same way.
So MS pays money to get DG before PS3 but we now know that that was a pointless investment as PS3 wouldn't have DG by now anyway. The point is, did Bugthesda knowingly take MS money knowing that the PS3 version wouldn't be here for months after the XBOX release. Keep in mind that Bugthesda has already knowingly released a buggy broken PS3 version on 11/11/11, we already know that they are not trustworthy. Personally I think MS ought to take a look at this.

Unless the whole point of this exercise was to make the X-Box favored in the console wars.PC is not going anywhere it is it's own entity within the gaming community.As far as consoles go for these types of games we have 2 contenders,Xbox and PS3.Micro has a win win in this endeavor since they have double stock with both pc and xbox.Sony and the ps3 are out on a island all by themselves.By having a exclusive deal with xbox it does make it the only console not to mention the only platform to have the dlcs for a certain period of time.There are still plenty of impatient people who want things right now.If xbox is the only platform and console to have a dlc at a given time it sways consumers into buying a xbox or the game for xbox rather then a ps3 version or even a pc version.More traffic to xbox sales may not lessen the pc sales that much but it will lessen the sales to the xbox's direct competitor the ps3.

If that is seriously what they put on the blog then it's disgusting, were they trying to be funny? Really?

They are all more detatched from reality than I thought, seems they think the PS3 situation is a big joke and have trolled the entire community.


When I clicked the link for the blog, just to the right of the comments is an advert for dishonored. The PS3 box was first, xbox behind and pc last. I don't know why, but this bothered me as much as the poster.

LOL,the thing is that stand up for ps3 could very easily have been moved for the picture being taken.Seven people in the picture no one said anything.The person taking the picture can see how much space that svcker is taking up in the picture.Hell that stand up is the most prominent visual in the picture.Then the group as a whole would all review the picture to make sure it was suitable for posting.

What do I take away from all of this?Well we all know Bethesda has a bad history of reviewing anything before they release it so no surprise there.My inclination is that it was left there on purpose to send some sort of message.

I'm thinking either late next year or thread 51. Either way I'll be allocating my resources else where.

Yeah, I don't understand how it would be a coincidence, seeing how the pic stands out above everybody else in the picture. At this point I don't know if I want to laugh or cry. :cryvaultboy:

Nah, now I'm just pissed. :devil:

Bethesda's reputation is going downhill into the pits of tartarus at this point. I really wonder how Bethesda is going to react when they don't release DG and big gaming sites will be at them with pitchforks, because of how they "gave the PS3 more attention" or how these mistakes keep on showing up and how professional Bethesda really is.

On the positive side new consoles are not too far off and hopefully they will be a clean slate for Bethesda.

Play it, it is probably the best written questline in the whole game, after that trade it in

I've decided to play the Thieves Guild quest line. I hadn't played Skyrim in a while, so now that I've started again, I've found that the game freezes every time I go into the water. I'm guessing that starting a whole new game might solve this problem, at least temporarily.

We can all speculate about a release date until the actual release, but the fact of the matter is Bethesda has a contract with Sony to make this content available to PS3. I have no actual evidence of this, I am only making an inference given what has gone on, and to my knowledge contracts are always present between game developers and the platform owners.

If Bethesda had a say in it I'm sure dlc support would have been dropped for the PS3 long ago when they knew the game did't even work properly. Bethesda shows little interest in appeasing fans that want the content and give very few updates. They are pissed that it doesn't work not because they keep getting bombarded with angry fan mail but because they are fed up with having to fix something they don't know how to. Bethesda probably signed a contract long ago with Sony agreeing to give them a game on the PS3. If Bethesda were to just drop the dlc support and the general fixing of the performance of Skyrim itself they would be committing a breach of contract; allowing Sony to take legal action against them and condemn any future business with Sony. Bethesda cant afford for this not to work not only will they loose customers of their own future products but Sony will sue Bethesda out that rear because of the contractual requirements they have not fulfilled.

At this point, with so few updates and lack of apology, or any attempt to make this right; I don't believe it is my job to find supporting documents, or statements for my assumption. I do believe it is Bethesda's job to shoot down such accusations or admit this is the only reason that they have continued to work on Skyrim for PS3.

I agree I want Dawnguard, and this is going to kill me especially if they release a DLC with werebears and us PS3 users don't get it.
