I think each patch costs the company 40000$ to put out, and if they cant get more money from ps3 they wont even bother.

i agree completely, its sad that in there minds they probley havent made enough money off ps3 users to justify a small patch to add some of the good content from dawnguard.

[RUby DIaz]

Hopefully its on thread 28 they announce whatever, thats what I bet

I bet thread 52 only 26 threads too bad these threads are going really slow now it's been a day and what 3 pages? usually we have a new thread by then... also does the hearthfire thread count in the bet so thread 26 + thread 1 for hearthfire count as 27?

[Sweet Blighty]

i cant understand why they would not give us ps3 users some of dawnguards features if they cant get the dlc to work, it seems so damn stupid

+100500

Because bottom line is, they can't add ANYTHING to the game the way it is. It's not really handling what it already has. They are not going to give us anything.

I hope we get a world record for having such a long thread XD

[Ebou Suso]

What I like about these forums, it's much easier to get nice people to participate in a conversation than it is on youtube lol

You get unpleasant people here as well, but it's not nearly as common as on youtube.

Oh the moderators arem't that bad really.

Come on Beth, we all suspect it's never happening, sales of Dishonoured aren't going to be dented any further so just make the announcement please.

[Gwen]

Indeed. I just want to know if it's happening or not. A simple answer to a just as simple "yes" or "no" question. In the meantime, Beth isn't getting a cent from me again until DG is released on PS3. I don't care how glowing the reviews are for Dishonored, I'd soon buy a Modern Warfare game, and believe me when I say I loathe that sort of FPS. In the meantime, I'm going to take the money I've got sitting around on my PSN account and probably spend it on Tokyo Jungle. Too bad Bethesda, that could have been your money.

[Lily Something]

This whole situation has gone from a drama to a comedy to a tragedy.....and it seems to be getting more and more likely there will never be an action version.

When was the last time Gstaff even posted in the entire Skyrim forum? Over a month?

With Sony's help and months of time, they still cannot figure out why their game works on one PS3 and not another? Is Sony really going to stand by and let Bethesda blame their inability to add DLC to Skyrim on the PS3 architecture? That would be a big "Wow."

[N3T4]

I hope we get a world record for having such a long thread XD

I wonder what the longest thread is on the gamesas forums, I fear this thread may break that record!

I guess I should find it less disheartening and more typical that we, aside from Pete Hines' "unofficial" tweets, haven't gotten any official news regarding the PS3 port of Dawnguard OR Hearthfire DLCs from gamesas.

I'm officially moving on. I popped the Skyrim disc out of my PS3 and popped Assassin's Creed Revelations (I've been meaning to finish that game up in time for AC3) and bought "The Lost Archive" DLC. I also ordered Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning for my RPG fix, at least until they get the Skyrim DLC mess straightened out.

Resident Evil Anthology and Dishonored are also on my wish list, though I may wait until the first DLC drops on Dishonored to see if Arkane has similar PS3 DLC porting problems that BGS has been having with Skyrim. Although they are separate game studios, it's still a legitimate concern for me.

I have to do the above or I'm going to turn into this: by the time they inevitably announce the next Skyrim DLC that the PS3 won't be getting due to "Technical Difficulties" and really I want to be this guy not that guy .

[Jack Moves]

And once again, all the reviews are saying Dishonored is AWESOME. And once again, it's probably all falsified information about the PS3 version.

Ok dude, 'Dishonored' was made by Arkane Studios (a competent developer I might add too - and it is an awesome game, runs on the Unreal engine too, so there shouldn't be any problems with the PS3 version)

All Bethesda are doing is publishing it.. I know, guilt by association but trust me, 'Dishonored' is good.

[GEo LIme]

I get kinda sad when I pass by the lovely city of Bethesda on my way to work, because it makes me think of Bethesda and their inability to get dlc for the PS3 out on any date near to that of the Xbox or PC, then I feel kinda bad that I wish that one group that's always protesting abortion clinics in Bethesda would go over to Bethesda Softworks and protesting them having crappy dealings with the PS3 Then I feel like a bad person then I realize...wtf it's been over a year...seriously stop giving the city of Bethesda a bad name and do your job.

The weird thing is, Bethesda the company is no longer located in Bethesda but in Rockville Maryland apparently.

People are scared regardless. They said one of the fallout games was made by a company that was published by Bethesda and that it had a lot of issues, so people are still afraid.

And as you said guilt by association. That's the main reason people won't buy it at this point, whether it's a good game or not.

[Dina Boudreau]

Bethesda also "just published" Fallout New Vegas, and we all know how that turned out. Unplayable, just like every other one of their games.

Until DG is released I am passing on all Bethesda releases. I have also refrained from purchasing a lot of SONY releases also. Even so I will never get an XBOX.

Wouldnt really matter anyways. Those that would of gotten Dishonored and didnt are the ones that are already done with anything Beth BECAUSE of this situation.

[Unstoppable Judge]

Can I give my honest opinion?

I think that we may not get the DLC, but if we do it will be a long time from now. I say this because I think the base game is so messed up that if they want to get the DLCs to work they will have to go back and essentially recode the game for the PS3, rather than just porting it over from the Xbox. That is what I think, and Sony probably knows this.

And you really think they will spend the time and money to do this? I think they will just move on. They will still get plenty of money from XBOX and PC players. Not to mention the kickbacks from Microsoft. They already got our original $60.00 for the game, so it probably wouldn't pay off to spend money so we can buy their downloads.

Agreed. I don't think they'll do crap like that lol

That's starting from scratch.

In a sense, them sending out patches is their attempt to make certain parts of the game compatible with the PS3 though. So they're kind of doing it piece by piece, but they won't scrap it and start over. We'd have to buy the game over again then anyways cause our CD probably wouldn't be the same.

Yeah... it's obviously really a smart idea to not invest in a product that could increase your sales by 30%+. Investors really like business decisions like that. Really, they do! >_<

[Siobhan Thompson]

I have to disagree with the majority of you. I don't think Bethesda will ever admit it's not coming to the ps3 and the true and only purpose for this thread is to prevent we angry ps3 users from unintentionally spamming the rest of the board, well that and to wear us down these threads keep moving slower and slower as many of us have already given up posting as it's pointless.

[N Only WhiTe girl]

Actually, they came out recently and said they weren't blaming Sony or the PS3, which by default makes it entirely their fault.

Wouldnt really matter anyways. Those that would of gotten Dishonored and didnt are the ones that are already done with anything Beth BECAUSE of this situation.

I'm one of those people and I proudly say it everytime. Dishonored could be a great game, but for me to want to buy it, I want to get my money's worth out of the current product I own.

Yeah... it's obviously really a smart idea to not invest in a product that could increase your sales by 30%+. Investors really like business decisions like that. Really, they do! >_<

The sales numbers don't matter, the profits do. If say the profits from the amount of copies sold (X) don't exceed the cost of investment into development of the game (Y) plus the cost of production of amount of copies (Z), then the message is sent. They could anticipate so many buyers and receive much less, thus making the game not only not profitable, but it becomes an expense.

" Take the number of vehicles in the field, A, multiply by the probable rate of failure, B, multiply by the average out-of-court settlement, C. A times B times C equals X. If X is less than the cost of a recall, we don't do one."
"Are there a lot of these kinds of accidents?"
"You wouldn't believe"
"Which car company do you work for?"
"A major one"

Increasing sales of inexpensive DLC by 30% may not be worth the expense of rewriting the game. THAT is what I was saying.

Fight Club. I'd like to think that doesn't happen in real life, but i wouldn't be surprised if it did. And unless Beth has a lot of expensive DLC planned, i doubt they are going to go huge lengths to fix the PS3 version.

It does happen in real life. Maybe not for car companies, but it does happen in other major companies. Pharmaceuticals I can say for sure that it does.

[Céline Rémy]

The game is already released, they cannot rewrite the whole thing just for DLC and still get it to work with the main game, all they can do is patch in improvements to free up more resources. That they have the PS3 DLC working would seem to indicate it is just one version of the PS3 that is causing problems. Sony's brilliant marketing ploy to get more sales by selling a stripped down mini 12Gb PS3 would probably I think be the likeliest culprit. Especially considering the wording of Bethesda's statements, and the hint they might not be so impressed with the PS3. Maybe it is just the latest PS3 they are not impressed with.

They will be struggling for space with a mandatory install and only 12Gb flash memory, DLC and saves will probably take up the rest of the space, assuming nothing is reserved for anything, let alone that the poor idiot who brought Sony's latest offering might actually have something other than Skyrim on their PS3. Maybe they are trying to get the PS3 version to run off the disc, with DLC installed to the flash memory. I can understand why Sony is not planning to release that pathetic excuse for a PS3 in the USA, I am not sure Australian gamers are that stupid either, despite that many can still not afford a PS3.

Ummm, that 12gb model won't be released until Thursday (the 12th), wasn't even announced until last month, you won't be able to get one in any U.S. Store, and this game has been out almost a year and problems have been persistent with this game across a lot of different models that were already released.

Anybody buying that console most likely is not going to be using it to play a lot of games, or at least, play a lot of games at once. Better off for the PSN-gaming crowd.
