Why no footage on PS3 and PC?

Post » Wed Oct 12, 2011 6:43 am

Look back a bit in the thread. There is link to a video were the devs explain that the xbox is the easiest to set up for playtesting hence why all the videos & screens are for the xbox verson.

yeah if thats the case mabye theyre just too lazy to set up other vids for the two platforms which means they probably have great confidence in the look for ps3/pc

As a PC gamer I feel left out in the cold--but not by Bethesda. By the gaming industry at large. The cause is the aging consoles. Games being developed for console first holds back their potential, and stagnates the market. I don't blame Bethesda for the way they are marketing and developing the game, that's only a symptom. I'd probably do the same in their shoes. We need new consoles, with new hardware that will push the industry forward.

We HAVE seen PS3 footage, and a few PC screens, they just never said which is which. Confirmed by Pete Hines.

I blame microsoft. They are trying to ring as much money as possable out the the xbox 360 before they build a new console, its rather sad if you ask me.

They don't have any obligation to give you jack [censored]. The fact that you think they have an obligation to show it, tells a lot about a persons personality.

What does it show about a person's personality... that they feel as though they deserve to see what they're purchasing before they purchase it and that they aren't comfortable with being treated as less important than another part of the fanbase?

but the company does not have any obligation to do it. It would be cool, ya, but there us no need to say "they need to do this" because they don't. And if you think they do then you obviously hold yourself in too high of a regard.

They're obligated by their status as a respectable company... by the moral guidelines they should be following in actually showing their consumers that they give a care. They need to do this because they don't have a good track record to back up their claims, particularly on the PS3. It's not some arrogant sense of self-entitlement that drives a demand for an obligatory response, but rather the ante of Bethesda's status as a company that has concern for the final product of the consumer. If I must connect it to myself, then I'll reference the $60 I wasted on that pile of technical garbage known as the PS3 version of Fallout 3's GOTY edition. Bethesda should be obligated to show some attention to the fanbase they so blatantly ignored and shunned with that maneuver of theirs if only to prove their worth as being somewhat caring for the consumer. All or nothing... if they can't treat one part of the fanbase with any acknowledgement, they shouldn't do so for another part, yet they do and have. For all we know, this is primarily a 360 game haphazardly ported to the PC or, especially, the PS3. It is certainly intentional that Bethesda have only ever advertised the game as though that were the case and you can see it in nearly all of their PR stunts. They're obligated, at this point barely a month before release, months after they began aggressive 360 version promoting, and years after they began aggressive 360 favoritism, to show something pertaining to their non 360 fanbases simply because they've done little to warrant their reputation as so-called multiplatform developers given that it seems they're more along the lines of second-party 360 developers that, almost as an afterthought, port their games to the other platforms.

Sony is just as guilty. If Sony came out with it's next gen console Microsoft would have to do so as well, or risk their place in the market, and loose the money they are so greedily squeezing from their console. So yes, both are guilty.

I think the tech is there. The 360 is for all intents and purposes a small PC. It packed a big punch in it's day (and overheated all the damn time--I'm on my third. Haven't got the new black one yet though), but it doesn't now. But even in it's day, if you spent the money, you could build a PC that would tear it to pieces. The primary reason that the next gen of consoles hasn't hit yet, is because people are still buying the current gen in droves. The companies see no reason to push the industry if they are still raking in money. You figure the PS3 was nearly $500 (with bells and whistles, some paid up to about $800) when it came out. Now it's $200. Would be no different if new consoles emerged. They would be insane expensive at first, and as sales grew, and time past, the price would fall.

I would definitely not buy one when they first come out, but then I'm a PC guy. I just spent $1200 building a new system. :P But then I do a lot more than just gaming.

The Xbox360 and PS3 difference is small but if you can't see the difference between PC and xbox360 you should probably see a eye specialist

I haven't seen any shots of Skyrim so far that has made me say "hmm, that must be on PC".

I'm a PC player and I couldn't care less they aren't focusing on showing the PS3/PC versions at all. The Xbox 360 version looks beautiful enough for me. They certainly have no obligation to show it

XBox live subscriptions must provide something for the money, right? In this case it's the erroneous impression that the XBox is the way to go for Skyrim and timed exclusivity for the first DLCs. I had no idea until today that people had to pay a monthly subscription for XBL. Now many things are starting to make sense... Had GFWL more successfully planted its roots in PC gaming, we'd have the same sort of mandatory monthly subscription, I'd bet. Eww...

Still, I don't blame Beth for riding the gravy train. I would too.

If we get lucky we might get some footage when they release the PC specs...I really doubt it, but honestly we are really close to launch, and no PS3 footage..honestly it looks like they are trying to hide something, Beth really does not have a good record with the PS3 :/.....who thought that leaving part of the fanbase in the dark was a good idea!

Bethesda obviously has some sort of back room deal with Microsoft to only show 360 footage.


Well then Sony needs to step up.

PSN is free, aptly, but there's the difference between it and XBL. PSN "stepping up" would mean them also charging some sort of monthly toll.

I dont play on either of those but....Here is a peacefull answer,trying to avoid some "console war"
They are still tweaking the ps3 and PC versions so you guys dont have to worry about the bugs that we will (I say we(360 players) very loosely)

You want it to run Skyrim or run Skyrim and look decent? You can always cut the resolution in half and turn the settings to lowest.

Sony would rather spend their time and money buying up game studios... Ugh, sadly I didn't quite like Uncharted, LittlebigPlanet, Infamous and Gran Turismo....
