PS3 Release for Dawnguard - Thread #31

Post » Sun Nov 18, 2012 9:52 pm

Only by one game: For Arena, Daggerfall, and Morrowind the lead SKU was PC but for Oblivion and Skyrim the lead SKU was 360.

That's umm....still primary. Not to mention you forgot Redguard. Bethesda will always have had more experience with the PC anyway.

A few posts went away - if the person whose posts were deleted decides to come back and bait people with your ennui about complaints here, then you will get a warning. Stick to the topic, no ranting and raving please, mind the forum rules etc etc

Random question, so how does porting from a PC work when it comes to consoles?

Is it easier for those porting to PS3 than those porting from the 360?

Well guess no vampire dlc on holloween. Would've been perfect, but nothing less than mediocrity is more their speed. Should've known better though.

Imo its prolly more of how the original code was compiled, or more specifically WHAT it was compiled for. I mean, at a real multiplatform outfit, all the code is generated on a PC to begin with. Then its optimized for w/e platform then pressed to the specific platform medium for replication after the kinks are worked out.

Or at least that's a very rough idea of the process from a hardware guy at least a decade removed from the process anyways lol.

Almost a year later.

So, how does everyone like that new engine, special attention, quicker fixes, and level of parity we were supposed to be getting?

Four out of four for lies, broken vanilla game just like Fallout: New Vegas, no DLC, and absolutely no communication besides "we're working on it" to top it all off.

Wow. Bethesda, quite the stand up company there. They should just announce they have no idea what they are doing on the PS3 console and leave it at that. That way, PS3 users would stop waiting on fixes, patches, and DLC and finally let it go. Of course, we would demand refunds for our purchases that we made based on misrepresentation, fraudulent advertising, and lies, but we could finally just move on after the checks clear. Bethesda could also stop trying, and failing, on the PS3 and concentrate on what they love which is the PC and 360 consoles.

Let's just see what happens in 10 days, the one year anniversary of the release of Skyrim. If the game isn't fixed, or doesn't have DLC by then, I feel Skyrim will forever be in it's current state. After releasing a GOTY version of a game, Bethesda has a history of moving on to their next title regardless of the state of their previous release. Speaking of the next release, I am still very curious if they are going to release it on the PS3. If they are, I really want to see how they are going to market it and the tweets from Pete Hines regarding the new title and the lies told about Skyrim. Either way, opening sales for the next one will be close to non-existent for the PS3 console. Depending on reviews and bug reports, sales on the PS3 in general may be close to none. Bethesda may be out of the PS3 game whether they want to be or not just due to lack of profitability.




PS, Someone should tell Pete Hines to be careful about what he posts on twitter. There is always a chance what he tweets may come back to bite him.

This makes me 'almost' as disappointed as when Square-Enix cancelled project Final Fantasy Versus XIII without announcing it's cancellation, & they announced this game six years ago. Dawnguard for PS3 doesn't seem that possible anymore, it's been delayed too long.... with Bethesda saying from month to month that they don't have the performance that they're looking for.

Ah, screw it. Bethesda wins. I never wanted to buy into this silly vampire phenomenon our culture seems to go through every few years anyway. Vampires haven't been cool since the Frog Brothers brought a royal beatdown to em' in the 80's.

You just did that now?!?

What have you been doing for the past year, picking flowers and chasing butterflies?!? :cool:


Ha, it is a bunch of fun but at the same time a bit limiting. Can't loot, can't open doors, can't activate quest markers...I love to use it in dungeons to clear them out quickly, but sometimes it's a hassle because you need to rest an hour or two for your lust to wear off.

If that's the case, you'd think Gstaff would have been able to give us some sort of progress report in the two months since August.

I used to be like you. I used to have faith that this company wanted me to enjoy their product, and was hard at work at making it better. Than nearly a year went by without them fixing thousands of issues, releasing DLC for other platforms, and failing to communicate with me on virtually any level as to what the situation was, and if/when I could expect DLC or even bug fixes. At this point I'm largely still here because I like talking about the game (specifically the ways to improve it, and there are many), and I like a lot of the people here. But also, I'm waiting for them to finally admit their failings.

You know it's sad when I read the first part of the second paragraph, and thought you were going to say something else...

I just want to give you Ps3 peeps my symphaties.. I used to own the game on the Ps3, but switched it for a Xbox copy (I'm week, I know). Hope Bethesda manages to sort this Sh** out, and gives out regular, humbly written updates and hopefully solves the issue.

Btw: The Norwegain public Consumer Counsil ("Forbrukerr?det") via one of their representatives actually made the statement that Skyrim on the Ps3 was a broken product and that customers should be entitled to a refund. Beth should really give out all the potential dlc for free in my opinion, they have essentialy sold a broken product at full prize. This is the least they should do to compensate Ps3 gamers.

I just can't understand why Bethesda isn't doing a better PR job with this DLC debacle. I love Fallout even though it locked my ps3 hundreds of times. I love New Vegas & bought all the dlc's even though the game was so glitchy that I had to stop on The Big Empty because it was unplayable. I love Skyrim too. I've come to expect that DLC are a part of the game cycle. Sure I've played Skyrim for over 300 hours & have enjoyed every minute of it but I feel Bethesda owes me the DLC. I'm the customer. Do you want my money? And that's what I don't get. I have no idea how much Bethesda makes from DLC but I'm sure the few extra bucks from ps3 owners would make the corporate heads at Bethesda happy as well as their investors. Seriously Bethesda I would love to pay $4.99 to build a video game house but you don't want my money.

Wow you guys are still here? I envy you, truly. I doubt they're even working on it still. Bethesda is just figuring out a way to break the news that nothing will be coming to the ps3, and that you should still definitely continue to support their product!

I lost a lot of respect when they took that picture with the PS3 magazine with Skyrim on it. I mean that was pretty crappy in my opinion.

i'm getting close to just giveing up all hope, im just holding on to a slim hope that on the 11th beth will announce the new dlc and that ps3 will be getting dawnguard, hearthfire and the new dlc, even tho i know thats not going to happen(come on beth prove me wrong), if theres nothing by the 11th then i will give up all hope and accept that once again ps3 was screwed over by beth. :swear:

In the Skyrim General Forum there is a post about the new DLC Dragonborn and at the bottom of said post a bit about new code that seems to indicate the PS3 will be getting the DLC soon. I've read a few of these threads but hadn't seen anything on it here. Am I just late to the party or should I start updating my credit card info in the PS Store?

No. Even if dlc arrived tomorrow, I would still urge all ps3 owners to wait for reviews and player opinions. Don't let them New Vegas you're azz.....If they haven't already.
