Seriously? And how SHOULD they be responding? Just curious. A personal e-mail every morning and evening... "Nope, nothing, sorry." Seriously? No news = no news. By virtue of the fact that they are now admittedly working hand-in-hand with Sony PROVES they're doing everything humanly possible to get a game that pushes the hardware beyond its aged limits to actually work on that hardware. And still, everything that is humanly possible isn't enough? And the very fact that the company who made that hardware hasn't been able to accelerate the process and solve the provide solutions doesn't clearly illustrate to you that it's a hardware issue, probably embedded in the facts of proprietary hardware?
Granted the hardware is a older than the PC systems, but it is not as old the XBox's because they are the same age though it is a different setup. What gets me is that there are games that are just as or more graphically intense with more physics to worry about that run GREAT on the PS3. Listen, I'm not blaming Bethesda entirely for the problems with the port over to the other set of hardware, but they should have known this was coming and more appropriately prepared for it. They did a half-assed job making the PS3 version and on top of that, poorly communicated the problems before people purchased a broken game, continued the no communication when they had issues. No news = no news? How about information as to why? People want to know and have the right to know instead of being kept in the dark. What were these issues? What about the performance? Give us SOMETHING instead of a vague encompassing statement that has been keeping people on the edge of their seats awaiting new content, when the possibility wasn't there. Admit it in the first place that it might not happen. The response would have been a lot more civil. The fact that they weren't civil in the first place about it means that the harsh responses they've got were justified and deserved.
I really feel sorry for those PS3 users you are actually planning to go to PS4 if the same closed, proprietary architecture is planned again. It's not an argument of this platform being better than that platform, it's a matter of buying the platform that does NOT have inherent problem-causers for devs of your favorite games.
Do you really? Most people dont' seem to care, especially those that want to bash the system with misinformation. Again, there are a lot of games out there, older than Skyrim, that are just as or more intense performance-wise than Skyrim and run great on the system. They didn't plan appropriately and this is what happens. Don't blame the hardware, blame the people that can't figure out how to use it nor really care enough to figure out how to use it.
The bet course of action, really, is take it to the PS boards and push for better dev on 4. IF you plan on moving to 4.
I'll go with the system that displays more potential and power, which the PS3 had. If that's the NextBox or ps4, whichever seems to be the better system for me. All I know is that there are games on PS3 that the Xbox360 could NEVER handle in any way, shape, or form, due to their sheer imensity unless a version was purely made for that system and it was watered down to do so.
Bethesda got lazy, plain and simple.
