Skyrim: Dawnguard for the PS3 Delayed indefinitely
As the PC gamers who owns Skyrim enjoys the recently released Dawnguard expansion today via Steam, PS3 gamers will have to be more patient as Bethesda released a status update in regards to the release date of the DLC on the PS3.
Here’s the complete statement made by Bethesda:
We are not satisfied yet with Dawnguard’s performance on the PS3. We would like for everyone to have a chance to play Dawnguard, but we aren’t going to release it for PS3 knowing that some people’s experience in Skyrim will be worse. We do everything we can to have our content available to all; from our free updates, to user mods, to paid DLC. We’re as disappointed as our fans when that isn’t the case, but we’ll continue to push for that reality.
It looks like that Bethesda can’t make Dawnguard work flawlessly on the PS3. If this continues and they can’t find a solution to make it work or stable at least, PS3 gamers might as well say goodbye to the chance of Dawnguard or any future expansions coming to the PS3.
You can’t delay something that never had a release date, dummies. That’s like saying FFXIII Versus has been delayed. Get with the picture JPS.
Man, if the PS Blog started posting WWE game news, there would literally be no reason to read JPS.

I had a Xbox360 and it overheated (burned up) in six months, now I use PS3 and it always worked very well. Skyrim was my favorite PS3 game, but with the lack of support and with Bethesdas lackluster attitude for PS3, I am forever done with them. On to better games and support.

@ Really?
While I can understand where you’re coming from, any set back will delay it from releasing. Since it’s going to take more time than originally planned, you can consider the project delayed.

@Really?-
That whole stance is completely disingenuous in regards to the current situation.
In general-
PS3 isn’t a a brand new system anymore. And Bethesda sure as hell isn’t a brand new game company. I’m tired of frankly shoddy business being defended with the “PS3 coding is hard” excuse.
2006-2012 is six years, if they the dev can’t program additional content for a system adequately after that much time, i question whether they should work with the format to begin with.
Bottom line is Bethesda should know how to code for the PS3 by now. And even if they still have problems with some aspects of it, what where they doing for the month plus they were not able to iron out bugs on PS3 AND PC versions?

I just don’t get how they’re still have so much PS3 problems. I know the PS3 is supposed to be the hardest to develop for, but this is rediculous. It’s like if EA was porting the orange box all over again… and that was years ago, and they had the excuse that it wasn’t their games. Bethesda is either just terrible or seriously lazy at PS3 support.

the reason why they are having trouble is not because of the ps3 but because Bethesda are not with the times and don’t know how to develop for the ps3 because its so powerful if they fail than everyone will know how shitty of developers Bethesda is
