Make us shut up? Actually a side by side comparison would start an unprecedented platform war.

its ok!!, just because they show every thing on xbox doesnt mean anything at all... be reasonable not misjudging! you'll get what you want in due time just dont freak out about it and i sure beth will appeal to you, just be patient

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or are genuinely trying to ease my concern.

"Just because they only show everything and discuss everything as though it's pertaining exclusively to the Xbox doesn't mean anything at all." is essentially what you're saying.

Anyway, I've been somewhat patient... but as I've said, there's only a month left, yet nothing on my or the PC version. They're still only marketing the 360 version. I've been waiting months. I actually purchased that technical pile of trash known as the PS3 version of Fallout 3 GOTY edition. I've played this series from top to bottom. My patience is literally gone. There's no time left to be patient... not if Bethesda wants me to buy the game on release via pre-order.

Well it's bound to happen on 11/11/11 anyway. May as well get it over with

Will it matter if Skyrim crashes and freezes with the enormous amount of bugs Fallout 3, particularly post-DLC, had with a poor framerate and/or graphics falling short of what the PS3 should be outputting? Yes, it is a big deal. It's also a big deal that they won't even show the PS3 or the PC version, for that matter, at all or even refer to them all that often... regardless of how well they look and run. It's a big deal if consumers are willing to roll over and take such treatment or gladly and happily pay a full $60 for a poor excuse of a technical job all while thanking and praising the creators for the work. That is a problem. It indicates a failure on the part of the programmers to do their job and the lack of consumer information a failure of the PR department to do theirs. It's a big deal. I only ask to see some footage or screenshots or something of my version. That they're incapable of doing that or acknowledging any of their shortcomings, both of the past and the present, is a big deal.

Okay then, what do you want exactly?

Footage? Again: IT LOOKS THE SAME ON EVERY CONSOLE.

Well you have to assume your looking at similar visuals (Only better on PC and maybe better on ps3?) It is a shame that they have not really shown whats going on but the best thing I can say is be optimistic and assume nothing is going to be different and it will somehow be 10x better on the platform your going to get the game on!

It's ironic that Bethesda themselves solidified my consumer stances on never purchasing a product based on blind optimism. I want to purchase Skyrim on that really cool date of 11/11/11... I really do, but I simply will not, especially not from the makers of Fallout 3, without getting an actual idea of what I'll be purchasing first. As I've said, I'm a die-hard Elder Scrolls fan and I've been spending so much time on this site because of the fact... so this is a hard decision for me. It's a hard marketing strategy for someone on my platform(s) with my experiences and personal philosophies, which are primarily the PS3 followed by a relatively weak PC, to take in and accept, but that's what type of consumer I am. I'm the cautious consumer that believes in regulating what companies do. I'm not an optimistic person because I've been optimistic in the past and have had that optimism crushed... again, by no less than Bethesda themselves.

Sorry to hear that . Well then you could just wait till after release to see if the game seems to be okay to play on PS3. With any luck Bethesda will actually start giving a little more details like PC spec (Not sure if they have said what it is or not yet) for Skyrim. At the same time they should *could be wrong here just going on hope* start showing what the game looks like for PS3 and PC. Once more though it would appear as though Microsoft has paid Bethesda for the whole 'showing on xbox 360' thing as well as the exclusive early DLC to 360 first. So it looks like your in a tricky position, I feel your pain

How can you tell? There is no confirmed PS3 footage anywhere.

we have seen a PC screenshot we just dont know which one it
and microsoft is paying them just to show xbox footage

...- the PC version looks better: XBOX users would ravage the forum complaining on why Beth isn't able to make the XBOX version look the same as the PC version

OH sure, they've been secretly working on Tessalation for the PC and farther view for PS3.


What the hell do you really expect?

And again, what other game released footage from different consoles, when they weren't even working on any kind special features for those consoles?

I'm really hoping they'll show some footage on release day or that earlier in the day, someone will upload PS3 footage or perhaps they'll be some PS3 reviews. If I do get the game on its release day, it won't be until the evening, anyway... so I'm really hoping I'll get something.

You really don't get the point, do you? OP is not hoping for a *better* version, due to his bad experiences is actually hoping for, at the mininum, the *same* version as XBOX.

And please stop saying they will all look the same, you just like any of us don't have the slightest idea what the PS3 and PC versions will look like, no matter how big you write it.
