Tres cool man. That's wicked.

I wish they would fuck off with this.

If voice commands are going to be a thing, it should be done through a headset... not some microphone on my kinect that is far enough from me that I need to yell in order for it to understand me.

The kinect has a very good range. I have yet to ever need to actually speak up for it. I talk normally and it works fine. There's a tad bit of lag here and there on occasion. But, that can happen with any voice recognition.

Fixed that for you.

This is like the third Bethesda game with timed exclusive content for XBOX360 users.
Not surprising at all.

I told myself I will continue my adventure when my new card came in. But, now...I might wait for this.

I was going to wait for the inevitable GOTY edition with all the DLC, but then the CE went down to $60 at GS. I couldn't resist.

Make Skyrim Dawnguard-Like with Mods

While PC gamers have been flying around on broomsticks and dressing up like the Lich King in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Xbox 360 gamers have had to watch from the sidelines, wondering when the mod functionality of Skyrim might ever cross the platform gap. While there’s no indication that will happen soon, or ever, those who own Skyrim on Microsoft’s console do get one advantage – they get to play the Dawnguard downloadable content first.

So, uh... damn.

While gamers on Xbox 360 and PC are going to be able to experience all of the DLC Bethesda has planned for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, it appears PlayStation 3 gamers may indeed be left out in the cold. After noting that the DLC hadn’t necessarily even been announced for PlayStation 3 and admitting that Dawnguard’s performance on PS3 is unsatisfactory, Bethesda’s Global Community Lead posted on the Bethesda forums with some ominous news.

Here’s the post, in full:

“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.”

Bethesda’s seeming inability to get its game to work on PlayStation 3 means that, according to them, the content may never come out at all. “This is not a problem we’re positive we can solve,” they admit, “but we are working together with Sony to try to bring you this content.” And the fact that more and more additions to the game are making the problem even more complicated, as explained in the post, means that things are looking exceptionally dire.

We’ll keep our fingers crossed that Skyrim’s DLC does indeed make its way to Sony’s console, but in the meantime, it’s not looking too good.

ign (yeah, I know)

So, say this does come to pass... how big of a blow to their credibility would this be and would it kill their Sony platform sales?

Lazy devs...
