I agree my friend called me tonight saying that he has it on ps3 and its running smooth with minor framerate drops

Fallout New Vegas did this sometimes on the PS3, and that's after a years worth of patches, I'm afraid. Oblivion also caused more frame rate drops on the PS3 than the 360. Unless the developers write the game to take advantage of the PS3's CPU to take over some GPU functions the PS3's worse GPU and memory we are probably going to get a bit of lag in some spots of the game, particularly on the older versions of the PS3.

I really wish the PS3 had been designed so the memory could be upgraded. I seem to recall that the N64 had a memory upgrade cartridge when Majora's Mask was released.

I'm almost sure that this will be fixed friday when they release the patch. =D

But if it won't, it'll be fixed in another patch...

well now i am confused......

Sure, i guess i'm the liar even after showing you a video with freezes lasting about 3 seconds. (Got it on my first recording btw, so it's not like i had to try a 100 times for it to happen. Happens EVERY time!)


Played about 10 hours i think, and well my horse disappeared for about 5 seconds twice, doesn't happen that often tho. And yes sometimes the game runs at a VERY low FPS, i can't tell you how much exactly but it is definitely below 10, but it only happens for a few seconds usually in big fights.

Well none of this sounds good. Is there anything you can say positive about the PS3 version? Also could you please upload a video in 3rd person, with the camera zoomed out as far as it can go?

ehh, i'm still playing it safe and getting the 360 version. If i'm forking out 150 bucks for the collector's edition of the game i want it to actually be playable and i want to be confident in my purchase. (i'm a ps3 fan, don't get me wrong, but i think i'll get this for 360 simply because Bethesda seems to be really backing it and supporting it, and from all the footage ive seen of it i feel it is the most trustworthy version)

all i need to do is grab an ethernet cable so i can hook up to my laptop whenever dlc or patches are released. No biggie.

thanks If I am here I may ask you a question.....

Well imo the graphics are better than expected on PS3, and the game is still fun, even with the problems it has. Also don't think you can zoom out in 3rd person view.

I'm praying to Akatosh for Bethesda do fix all of this issues on their friday patch.. please Bethesda..

Trolls! Nay Sayers!

I don't expect the PS3 version to be anything less than equal to the 360 version.

Someone said you hold the button that switches views then press the right stick up or down...

http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1253920-ps3-players-dont-worry/page__gopid__19109686#entry19109686 since it got lost/ was ignored. This guy works at gamestop and has played both versions so please follow the frickin link.

I believe you.... I have a question can you disable the auto save function? I think from a technical stand point it should improve the little "freezes" you are experiencing... also how does it look in person? honesty? compared to lets say red dead redemption?

Yeah but man how long do you think they actually played it for in the store? Probably not to long. This guy has proven with videos that the game has frame rate problems, and freezes...

Dude, your screwed! Get over it already! The ps3 version is basically the xbox version, except Todd specifically demanded they lower all textures, and garble all sounds. The ps3 version is basically TES V: Turd.

they might patch it buy Friday lets hope they do.....I am quite confused at all the info..... some people said it runs amazing with zero glitches others say it runs lie poops

I honestly think you're worrying over nothing. I'm certainly not disputing the video but from what I've seen elsewhere I've heard very little about this. Plus we have the matter of the patch. I find it extremely difficult to believe that Bethesda would not be aware of something like this. They've clearly worked themselves to the bone on this game and would not allow glitches of this magnitude continue unchecked. After all the negativity surrounding Fallout NV (I know it wasn't Bethesda Softworks that were responsible but still people will assume) they wouldn't let something like this carry on. Best case scenario - the video is made on a PS3 that unfortunately is throwing up some glitches with the game. Worst case scenario - these problems are very common but Bethesda will patch them (probably already have in the Friday morning patch.)

I could nearly swear that they'll patch an issue like this as quickly as possible. Look at the advertising that went into this. I think the last game I saw with an advertisemant involving actors was possibly one of the Halo series. Bethesda have put a lot into this, they won't screw over the PS3 users so just chill out.

same here.... i have heard great things on other sites of people playing the game.... I look at it this way... its still not 11.11.11.... still a couple of days until release.... patches will fix things up

Honestly, it'll be grand. You should be looking forward to the game, not worrying about possible glitches. That's one of the biggest issues with games recently, we're more and more anticipating problems that are going to occur.

Doesn't seem to work for me.

Yes there are quite a few options to disable auto saves, should try it tomorrow. But it's still weird it only happens when riding a horse. Also don't get your last question, explain yourself...

He's saying how do the graphics compare to Red Dead Redemption.

The autosave system is just fine. The default setting is to save every 15 minutes. So it can't be responsible for the stutters.
When you press the left stick to change to 3rd person, keep it pressed and you can zoom in and out your character. When you release it the view will stay at the desired zoom level.
The game is just great on the PS3. I don't care if digital foundry and lens of truth declare the xbox version better.
This is not a bad port job for the PS3. It looks and plays great and is completely enjoyable. If you have both consoles wait for the comparisons before you get it. If you don't, just get it for the system you have!

Oh you can't compare them at all imo. But believe me the graphics are fine, you'll find yourself enjoying the view plenty of times in skyrim.
