Bethesda is trying to give us an idea of the problems they are facing at the office.
PlayStation 3 Skyrim owners are waiting for the Dawnguard DLC for many months ahead of their Xbox 360 counterparts and Bethesda has shown some light to the issues.
“The problem is that in same cases, the performance of the game is not acceptable.”
“This is not a “Dawnguard” issue. This is a DLC on PS3 issue. It affected DG because it was the first one.” said Pete Hines, VP of PR at the company through his Twitter account.
Asked whether saves were the issues, “We have lots of saves sent to us from a wide variety of PS3 players.”
At the end of August, Bethesda has notified their customers officially about the DLC problems on PS3.
“Earlier in the month, we provided an update on Dawnguard’s status for PS3.”
“It’s been a few weeks, and we wanted to make sure everyone knows where we’re at with Dawnguard. Skyrim is a massive and dynamic game that requires a lot of resources, and things get much more complex when you’re talking about sizable content like Dawnguard.
“We have tried a number of things, but none of them solve the issue enough to make Dawnguard good for everyone. The PS3 is a powerful system, and we’re working hard to deliver the content you guys want.”
“Dawnguard is obviously not the only DLC we’ve been working on either, so the issues of adding content get even more complicated. This is not a problem we’re positive we can solve, but we are working together with Sony to try to bring you this content.”
“We wish we had a more definitive answer right now. We understand the frustration when the same content is not available on all platforms.”
“When we have an update, we will certainly let you know. We deeply appreciate all the time and support you have given us, and we’ll keep doing our best to return that.”

I gotta stop clicking Bitbag links…
The more people click, the better their statistics. Since Dawnguard is such a goldmine right now, I’m sure they’ll make another post tomorrow or in a couple days.
(Sorry for the double post but this information needs to reach as many Playstation users as possible. Spread the word!!!!) I’ve noticed that Bethesda is consistently giving out bs responses to the status of Dawnguard and other Skyrim DLC for PS3. In general we PS3 gamers are asking them the wrong questions on Twitter and their main site. What we need to ask are these questions: 1. Bethesda… why didn’t you develope Skyrim on Playstation 3 first given how complicated porting can be from Xbox 360 to Playstation 3? 2. Any viable entity projects a rate of successes and a rate of failures with their business plan. By assuming you adhere to the law and pretest your products for the lawful required amount of time, why weren’t Playstation 3 users given a fair notice or a delayed release of Skyrim to maximize quality and fair usage for current and forthcoming content of Skyrim? 3. Given the amount of complaints and faulty replicas of your design why hasn’t your company requested a recall of the Playstation 3 version of Skyrim? Are you unaware that you can be held liable in the court of law for false advertising, mental anguish, and bad faith business dealings? 4. Bethesda, Playstation 3 users have proof that: a. Skyrim was defective before they purchased it. b. The un-obvious defects of Skyrim on Playstation 3 could not have been seen before purchasing. c. You did not for-warn or notify them about Skyrim’s defects before the sale or that you actually lied about it. d. Playstation 3 users relied on your lies or non-disclosures of the Playstation 3 version of Skyrim. e. Playstation 3 users have suffered monetary damage due to your negligent misrepresentation of Skyrim on Playstation 3. What is your response to that? These questions will cut them to the gut if they do not answer truthfully or wish to remain in silence. The famous line “no comment” won’t pass here as it will make them look unethical and unprofessional. Either directly answer the question or yield to cowardice Bethesda.
Repost this everywhere you can! If we do not speak up Bethesda will continue to take advantage of us Playstation users. NOW is the time to make a positive difference. Repost repost repost!!! Post this on Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, Google, Bethesda’s main site blog, other video game blogs, hell post it on porn sites if you need too… we all know there’s a high amount of traffic on there everyday 
lol. Spread the word video gamers, repost these questions! Thanks. -The Future of Sega
Still this is something they could have figured out years ago
Wtf?! That was a pointless article. Thanks for reposting all the useless tweets put out. This is the 1st dlc? Didn’t they make fallout 3 & new vegas? Didn’t both have dlc? I understand skyrim is more complex, but now they’re just making up excuses. Next tweet from pete hines “We can’t make dawnguard because we have no letter “s” key on our keyboards here at the office.” Might as well say that, the rest has been bullsh!t so far. Screw skyrim I like many others have moved on to better games from companies that can cross platform without glitches. F u bethsoft.
Such neutral, beating-around-the-bush public replies. You PS3 fanboys are asking the wrong questions. What you need to ask are questions that will trip them up and make them admit the truth. Such as… 1. Bethesda… why didn’t you develope Skyrim on Playstation 3 first given how complicated porting can be from Xbox 360 to Playstation 3? 2. Any viable entity projects a rate of successes and a rate of failures with their business plan. By assuming you adhere to the law and pretest your products for the lawful required amount of time, why weren’t Playstation 3 users given a fair notice or a delayed release of Skyrim to maximize quality and fair usage for current and forthcoming content of Skyrim? 3. Given the amount of complaints and faulty replicas of your design why hasn’t your company requested a recall of the Playstation 3 version of Skyrim? Are you unaware that you can be held liable in the court of law for false advertising, mental anguish, and bad faith business dealings? 4. Bethesda, Playstation 3 users have proof that: a. Skyrim was defective before they purchased it. b. The un-obvious defects of Skyrim on Playstation 3 could not have been seen before purchasing. c. You did not for-warn or notify them about Skyrim’s defects before the sale or that you actually lied about it. d. Playstation 3 users relied on your lies or non-disclosures of the the Playstation 3 version of Skyrim. e. Playstation 3 users have suffered monetary damage due to your negligent misrepresentation of Skyrim on Playstation 3. What is your response to that? These questions will cut them to the gut if they don’t answer truthfully or wish to remain in silence. The famous line “no comment” won’t pass here as it will make them look unethical and unprofessional. Either answer directly to the question or you’re pegged a coward Bethesda.
That is the smartest thing I have read on this issue Sega.
Best comment so far, on ANY of these Dawnguard for PS3 articles.
Now to get this on to the sheeple, they might be able to start a lawsuit.
Awww boo hoo little baby men cry over ps3 haha 90% of the games on market today were made for the xbox and then ported to ps3 and pc its not Beth’s fault you picked the wrong console…
it’s also not your mother’s fault that she gave birth to an assmonkey, but we all suffer. some more than other.
Yeah but you’ll get over it jude
hey fuckstick how about some actul new information on the subjet unsatifactory prefomance is the only thing you fucking cunts have said augst so either get some fucking news or shut your fucking cunt whole it dipdshits like you not giveing us any information is why all us ps3 owners are fucken pist your fucken moron
Hey Sega, would you mind copying and pasting that post on bethesda’s blog? It’s pitch perfect.
Actually, Sega’s post makes me think. Why doesn’t Sony post info on a blog about it too? Since they are supposedly helping them, you’d think people would be crawling up Sony’s pants for info too.
their only assisting, the dlc still belongs to bethesda, so without their consent sony can’t really comment.
Well there’s saying… there’s strength in numbers. I could post it on their website but within in a few minutes they would delete it…trying to silence the truth. There’s only so much I can do guys but I appreciate the feedback. Oh, I noticed in 4d I added an extra “the.” You might want to edit it out. I also posted it on Attackofthefanboy at http://attackofthefanboy.com/news/sony-working-ps4-give-up-playstation-3/. I tend to act a little silly on that site lol. But anyways if you PS3 fanboys are serious then you have GOT to speak up and stand your ground! Companies only run over customers who do not speak up and allow corporate abuse. I for one will NOT tolerate it.
You won’t tolerate it? What you gonna do? Airstrike them?
If you’re looking for trouble, you’re getting very warm.
Why you gotta threaten people sega?
Why? do you feel threatened?
Hardly
Sure doesn’t sound like it.
LOL!
@ Sissy threatened idiot/Just a word I heard that the Zoo was calling for you…they’re missing a dumb ass aka Just A Word. HAHAHAHAHAHA Oh tell your mom and dad in the ape cage I said hi. LOL!…pussy.
“Hardly” BIG words…Shock me, say something intelligent.
Saw that answer coming a mile away.
I know right… The Future of Sega’s answers are so spectacular.
By the way the day you die I’ll visit your funeral. I may have to work that day though…I believe in business before pleasure. LOL!
Hey faggot erm erm I mean Seaside poet, Earth is full. Go home. LOL!
“Saw that answer coming a mile away.” Did you see this coming a mile away? *middle finger* (smiles) there you go.
Grown way too tired of waiting. Bethesda is a huge let down. I don’t think ill even buy the dlc when it comes out. It’s pointless. They’re just ganna f up the next DLC also and come up with a million more excuses.
Some things to think about: 1) Bethesda’s Todd Howard once said publicly that he thought everyone should own an XBOX… and that he loved working with Microsoft (recently re-posted @ reddit) 2) Bethesda released a broken PS3 OBLIVION GOTY that was ultimately never patched. The “vampire glitch” necessitated having a second copy of the game (an earlier edition), trading discs mid-game, and then returning to GOTY after getting past the glitch. So, a gamer is forced to buy two copies of OBLIVION in order to play through the entire game. I wonder why Bethesda never fixed this issue? *ahem* 3) Bethesda releases an unplayable, broken PS3 SKYRIM. It takes months for a patch. Obviously this was a poor port (clearly not programmed for PS3) without any reasonable play testing. Again, Bethesda is asleep at the wheel… or just uninterested in PS3 development. 4) Meanwhile, Bethesda inks early dlc deals with their pals Microsoft. 5) Bethesda doesn’t release PS3 DAWNGUARD because… “The problem is that in some cases, the performance of the game is not acceptable.” Hmmmm… this was obviously never an issue with earlier Bethesda PS3 releases. This line from Bethesda just doesn’t track with their history. 6) Bethesda says they’re pretty much stumped while bringing Sony into the dlc dev. Bringing Sony into the project is natural, but offering up at that same time that your company (Bethesda) has hit a wall? This almost sounds like shifting any blame with dlc to Sony. IMHO… So, with all of that digested, my gut feeling is that Bethesda has never liked Sony… and that continues to the PS3. Bethesda refuses to dev for PS3 because they don’t want to support cell tech (don’t want to spend the money when one PC dev is a simple port to XBOX). Now, they can’t afford to alienate all the PS3 gamers, so they continue to make releases and promises… but they are failing from not dev or adequately testing their PS3 product. Currently, Bethesda is trying to make Sony do the dlc dev themselves (saving Bethesda from spending money). Why would Sony do this? Because PS3 lacking the entire SKYRIM would be a black mark on their console; in essence, Bethesda is holding the dlc hostage for money. My gripe is that Bethesda should stop releasing on PS3 if they are going to continually release broken and shoddy product. They need to stop making promises for a console they obviously dislike. In the end, Bethesda wins… the PS4 abandons cell tech precisely because of situations like this.
I’m actually glad that they keep putting off PS3 players,Its ironic. They only released Morrowing for PC and X-Box,Dawnguard really reminds me of that because its not on PS3. What a laugh. I really hope you guys never get it. Besides, The Elder Scrolls originally belonged to the PC players before it came out for X-Box. Like Bethesda’s games,drop the shitty Ps3 and get either a computer or an X-Box.
What are you a girl or something?
I won’t drop my PS3, but I probably won’t stop getting Bethesda games either. …I’ll just get them on my Xbox.
your just a stupid lill cunt shut ya mouth ps3 should get everthing other platforms do we own the same game dipshit
“I hope you guys never get it.” Really? Why? How does that benefit you? Or are you just being spiteful? I don’t understand what your problem is with PS3 users. Are you jelly or something?Mad that we play online free while your mommy has to buy you time for your net-play? Or just upset that fundamentally the PS3 is an all-around better system? Are you raving because Halo is dead and that was truly the only thing Microsoft ever had going for them? Or just ticked that x-box and PC didn’t even know what a blue-ray was when PS3 was playing them? I want to know why you are being a hater. Does it suck to be 12 years old THAT much?
Theonly reason xbox gets that stuff first is because microsoft deals software. Sony is a hardware company so unlike an xbox, ps3 has the hardware to handle things far beyond what it normally handles at the present. It’s like playing a super nintendo game on an advanced platform….there is so much potential yet it only uses a little bit of it. Have fun while your dlc lasts.
Oh and that means even the NEXT generation of xbox will be competing with ps3 before sony even needs to THINK about a ps4.
D3Ez you talk big but you’re an insect.
*cough* Morrowind.
My god you people are whiny.
Bethesda releases bad PS3 product… and has consistently. I don’t care if they want to only release on PC or XBOX, but they should stop releasing broken PS3 product… and own up to the fact that they didn’t do a good job on dev SKYRIM on PS3. PS3 is a capable system, but cell tech takes real dev time and money. As a gamer, this issue along with broken OBLIVION has turned me toward DARK SOULS and DRAGON’S DOGMA.
Ladies ladies there is a simple way to fix this…… Burn your ps3 and get a real machine… Boom problem solved.. thank you thank you no need to worship me like a god I’m just a simple man with big ideas.
Simple is right, you are satisfied with HD movies .. Oh wait that’s a dead tech hmmm from Microsoft if I remember. Sony pushed for Blu-ray and won. Frankly if Bethesda are unable to work out how to reprogram for a port they should stick EEPROM’s and leave cross platforming to real programmers.
Its cute how all you guys are bitching about something that’s out of your control. So the fuck what if it will never be on the ps3 dlc is a luxury and no one made you buy skyrim on your shitty console so its not there fault. PC ftw!
Funny. I have a custom-built gaming PC that cost me more than $8,000, but I still like to play and watch Netflix on my PS3. Xbox is junk. I’ve had two and both red-ringed. I know a dozen people who’ve had the red ring. I’ve owned exactly one PS3, bought when it first came out and I’ve never had a problem with it. So explain again why PC (or Xbox) is better? Because some little pimply, butthurt loser used to play Baldur’s Gate on it and now can’t imagine doing something different? Get a life, all of you pathetic PC Nazis. You’re no better. Everyone has a computer nowadays. And on Bethesda, I’ve given up. I was excited for Dawnguard, bought it for PC and was disappointed. Rather than waste my time on yet another sellout company like Bethesda (and Bioware), I’ll be supporting Kickstarter games and independent companies that are actually interested in creating and supporting good games and not shafting one-third of their fanbase with lies and half-assed misinformation. Yeh, so anyone who believes Bethesda is even still putting forth an effort to support their games on PS3 should really learn from the past. Either buy their games on another system or accept the fact that this particular developer doesn’t care whether or not you buy their games. You’re just an easy $60 to them.
You sir, are correct. ^^
You sir are an insect
hold on a sec they are trying to release more dlc at the same time as trying to fix ours are they taking the fucking piss or what so xbox gets new fuckin dlc when we are stuck waiting for a first 1 fuck this shit man come on bethseda u can do better than this we have expectations that u just arent meeting
