I invite you to take this with a pinch of salt, I certainly do.

I was chatting with an acquaintance last night who does PR for a rival publisher to Bethesda, who somehow managed to get his hands on the ESRB build of the PC version a few weeks back and watched someone playing the PS3 version (apparently). He wasnt that interested in talking about it but I drilled him for info none the less.

He said it was obviously a PC game first and foremost with decent ports to the consoles. He said the UI was completely different on PC, though what he described to me sounded just like the 360 UI we are all familiar with. He also said the higher res textures made some of the faults more obvious, particularly hard seams between textures, and bad snapping between animations. He did say, however, that it looked f*king great. DX11 shaders? "sorry, no idea".

I asked him what the PS3 version was like. "Like a PS3 game." Smartarse. I asked him what the hell that means: "better than the 360 version."

Sorry it aint much but I figured I'd share.

And let the trolling begin..

Good news about the PS3 looking good though.

I met a guy who works for Battlefield 3 and told me that the 360 version of MW3 owns all hackzorz noobz

Hasnt it been confirmed by Bethesda its a port from console to PC? So your source is certainly off. The Xbox360 has always been the leading platform for Skyrim.

I am taking it as a pinch of salt, however that does explain why there has been no PS3 footage, with the PC they can easily lower the graphics to make it look like a 360 game, however they can't do the same with the PS3.

So thanks, i guess

That statement surprised me to, the dude found it amusing that the community has assumed the opposite. Has it been confirmed to be a console port? I dont think so, but the accusation has certainly be made, based on how Oblivion's UI turned out on PC.

Well, obviously none of that can be true; I mean, a rival PR guy and he doesn't take the chance to rubbish Skyrim as hard as he can? Can't be much good at his job...

:D

Seriously, apart from the 'PC game first' bit, which I very much doubt, that sounds about right. We already heard somewhere (I think) that the PC interface is better customised for PC than with Oblivion, and it isn't surprising that higher res textures show up a few glitches. Whether it's plausible that he actually saw the ESRB build of a rival company's product I have no idea. Seems a bit iffy to me, but stranger things have happened, I suppose :shrug:.

Pokémon is obviously ported from PC.

Yes.

This!!!!!!!!!!! :brokencomputer: (That computer resembles the XBox) :tes:

I'm hoping that skyrim doesn't turn out to be a [censored]storm like rage, and truely delivers to most of the hopes that people have for it, and that it ISN'T broken as hell when it comes out. I can understand a certain amount of glitches for a game, but theres a certain limit to those things.

Cool story bro.

Cool story bro.

Cool story, bro.

Im sure they've said we've seen screens of all the consoles playing it? but we're unaware about which ones.

P.S to OP:
Cool Story Bro

Im gonna go ahead and call [censored] on this one.

This cool story brought to you by bro incorporated.

lol

You are lying, I can smell it.

I don't know how switching to a different version makes "animation snapping" more apparent. This guy is BS.

i dont think we can really trust this guy you asked :bolt:

It's already confirmed to be a port from 360 to other platforms, tell your friend he is either too late or too early for April fools :spotted owl:

Bethesda has already stated that Skyrim will be port to PC from consoles.

I've played the WiiU version.

It comes with a pet mudcrab. True story.

:rofl:
