Why no footage on PS3 and PC?

Post » Wed Oct 12, 2011 2:09 am

I'm excited as all get-out to play Skyrim. But I really want to see what it looks like on the platform I will play it on. I know that Microsoft must be paying for Bethesda to only show Skyrim on the Xbox360(Is that even ethical?), but that leaves a lot of other gamers out in the cold. The game looks amazing on 360, now show other gamers how it looks on their platforms! I don't think I'm out of line here, I just want to know if the port to my PS3 is going to run as well as 360. PC gamers should be given a demonstration as well. And it really isn't difficult to set up a demo on PS3, I've heard about that nonsense before. We PC/PS3 owners want to know. We are paying customers too. Does Bethesda not care?

Any other PS3/PC gamers feel like they've been left out in the cold on this?

Its probably because Microsoft has payed Bethesda to show only xbox footage till release but it could be because they want to show the xbox360 over the ps3 and pc but either way I love Bethesda and :tes:

As far as the PC not being shown, was explained in a interview with AUSgamers. "His" reasons why it was not presented. If this is really the case, then great. If not, then its a lie. I don't think he would lie to us. He presents it as it looking amazing or "better". No comment on the PS3. I don't think the interview asked though about that system.

Paying customers should be shown what they're being sold. It's unethical not to provide a demonstration of this type of product. The port of fallout3 and new vegas crashes every 5 minutes on ps3.

Not necessarily there's a small difference between the xbox360 and ps3 (very small) regarding graphics and a large difference between the xbox360 and pc

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

For a PC centric game like Skyrim it will, but for something like Black Ops or Mass Effect 2, the differences were so minute to not even be noticeable. BTW. Wh is the OPs complaining, He already knows what it wil look like on his system of choice(PC... way better, PS3 so little better, thathis [censored]ing was for nothing)

Y'know there IS a massive difference between other Bethesda games between ps3 and 360.... on 360 the game works great and it looks virtually identical to ps3. on ps3 the game looks virtually identical to 360-except the game crashes every 5 minutes.

Oh yea, although they are working on something for the PSN.
I honestly don't care if they look the same, I want to see if with my own eyes, we are customers, and yet they are leaving us in the dark.
So close to release yet they still don't show us any PS3 or PC footage :/

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.

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

Yeah I don't get this. It's almost a 50-50 between xbox and the ps3 in the console market. But you know, maybe the ps3 version won't be as bad..

:facepalm:

Why do you people keep saying yes? Just asume what you see in the xbox videos will be better on Pc, but the same on PS3. You dont need to see other videos because its STILL THE FREAKING SAME! Everything they show is in the other 2 just with different graphics, so there is no point. PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why do people assume that they are getting paid off? Is it because you want to beleive everyone is an evil moneygrubbing ass? Maby because the 360 is the best representation of what most gamers will get, or even because it is easiest to work with.

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.
