Skyrim DLC PS3 Release Discussion

Post » Fri Feb 08, 2013 6:14 am

LATEST INFO: Gstaff's post:

This week Dragonborn, Dawnguard, Hearthfire, and the 1.8 title update have all cleared certification with SCEA. As we speak, we’re working with Sony Europe to finalize certification for other territories.
What does this mean? It means we now have the official release dates for Skyrim add on content in North America. They are:
Dragonborn releases Tuesday, February, 12
Hearthfire releases Tuesday, February, 19
Dawnguard releases Tuesday, February, 26


Update (2/4): We now have European release dates for the English versions of Dragonborn, Hearthfire, and Dawnguard. They are:
Dragonborn releases Wednesday, February 13
Hearthfire releases Wednesday, February 20
Dawnguard releases Wednesday, February 27




From http://www.bethblog.com/?p=21294
PC and PS3 fans, prepare to cast off. Next month, you will travel to Solstheim, home of Skyrim’s latest add-on, Dragonborn. PS3 fans can expect an expanded itinerary – with stops at Fort Dawnguard and Castle Volkihar – before heading back to the home of your dreams. Details below:[indent]
PC: On Tuesday, February 5th, Dragonborn will be available on Steam, including the English, French, Italian, Spanish and German versions of the content.

PlayStation 3: Dragonborn will be the first add-on arriving on PSN in February. Hearthfire will release next, followed by Dawnguard, and all three should be out in February. The 1.8 update will also release, just prior to Dragonborn. We’ll keep you posted as release dates get finalized both on our end and with Sony for each and its various languages. Last but not least, each one will be 50% off during their launch week on PSN.[/indent]
Over the last year, it’s been a treat for us to work on new content for Skyrim, and we’re excited that it will soon be available for everyone to explore. Thanks for all your support and sharing your adventures with us.

The PSN release dates for Dragonborn (coming first), Hearthfire, and Dawnguard are still being finalized. We'll share those dates when we have them.

PC does not have a discount on Dragonborn. The 50% was a something we wanted to do specifically for our PS3 fans as they've been waiting for content for a number of months now. That being said, we do regular sales on our Steam content, so there's certainly the potential for a sale at some point.

UPDATE: http://store.steampowered.com/app/226880/ (unlocks on February 5).


I just updated the https://twitter.com/bgs_devs with an update

PS3 1.8 Update and all 3 DLC have passed Sony America cert . We’re also finalizing certification for EU. Waiting to hear the exact dates.

We understand some are tired of waiting, some are angry and some have or are giving up. We want to continue to have a place for you all to discuss and vent your frustrations and desires and thus we will try to allow this one thread to remain for everyone to do that.

Do keep in mind that we have rules and that you all agree to abide by them when joining. We enforce those rules strictly and give warnings and short suspension times to any member who breaks the rules.

http://bit.ly/b0NuV8

Do not troll:
5. Trolling is not allowed here.

In Internet terminology, a troll is someone who intentionally posts derogatory or otherwise inflammatory messages about sensitive topics in an established online community such as this forum to bait users into responding. They may also plant images and data that others may find disturbing (usually indirectly relating to the individual in person) in order to cause confrontation.

If you come in here to say something that you know will upset other members, you are trolling.

Do not flame (and that includes flaming anyone or any group of members). That covers individual Bethesda employees, groups of employees, moderators and of course any regular member or groups of them.
7. Flaming is not allowed.

Insulting individuals or groups of members and name calling are flames. Any remark that is made to insult or demean another member or group of members will be considered a flame and thus you may receive a warning for it.
Calling people a troll or an apologist for instance can both be considered a flame as can calling someone stupid or ADD. Attacking Xbox players, PS3 players or PC players is not allowed and calling them "console kiddies" or in anyway indicating someone is in some way a lesser person because of their choice is considered a flame here.

Do not stir up console or platform wars. (This is included under the flaming rule above.)

Do not discuss moderator actions or inactions on the open forum:
9. Posting about moderator or administrator action or inaction is also against the rules of this forum.

Please feel free however to contact the moderator involved, another moderator you feel comfortable with, our community manager Gstaff or another admin if you disagree with a moderator action. Our moderators do not mind taking a second look or discussing an action with the other moderators and admin to assure they have acted fairly. So if you think you've been treated wrongly or that unfairly, be sure to send a PM. Sometimes moderators make mistakes.

And please read our rules pertaining to criticism.
8. The only criticism that is allowed here is constructive criticism and that is welcome.

Constructive criticism criticizes a proposed idea. Criticism that is directed against one person, be it a modder, another member, an individual developer, a certain moderator or a group effort are all forbidden.
This means that when you voice your concerns, please do so in a way that offers a vehicle for improvement. If you see something going wrong, feel free to say so, but also say something about how to set it right.

One week isn't nothing compared to what we have already been waiting.

very true, but what gets me pumped is that we are so close, & hopefully a mess like this won't happen again.

*Hopefully*

I'm pretty sure problems will arise for some PS3 users, but I have been spared.

I'm somewhat optimistic in saying we may see a higher framerate and less crashes than the fallouts... but this isn't the final goty either. Realistically given the very long track record of ps3? I'd just be happy if I can get all dlc to work, get the "trophies" and ultimately call it a day in the end. Then basically pick and choose what dlc I wanna play with in the future.

It's possible that Dragonborn was the final exclusive DLC. We might get them on time for now on.

Well I thought heartfire was the last exclusive dlc and I was expecting the 360 and pc to get dragonborn. I wasn't expecting my ps3 to get dragonborn at the time because dawnguard wasn't out yet

My vanilla game was bad also but then I deleted and reinstalled the game data, had my character wait in game a few days, and turned off all Auto saves and and I have had almost no issues now. I rode on a horse from one corner of skyrim to the other with no freezes. Before I couldn't ride for 45 seconds before the game froze.

Let's shoot for #100.
Maybe we can covert this to the DLC quality thread, to see if these things work or blow up the game.

Does anyone here care to speculate as to when the 1.8 Patch will be released for PS3 owners? I really believed that we would have recieved it by now in order to see if any crashes/bugs showed up with it, giving time to fix any before our DLC arrivals. Patches are not held to Tuesday releases like DLC. Thanks in advance for any speculation :thanks:

I can't remember them saying it. One day would be a Monday, can't remember any game updating on a Sunday. The anticipation is the worse :whistling:

1.8 still isn't out?! It's February 6...

If anyone wants to play a game that's fun and actually delivers (and plays better on the Ps3 despite being a beta), try DUST 514. It will make you feel a little more appreciated.

That would be a little too late don't you think? Regardless, the patch releases in the coming days.
