While Xbox 360 players have been enjoying Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim's Dawnguard expansion for quite some time now, it seems PlayStation 3 players won't just have to wait more time for the expansion, but they might never play it at all.
In a post on the official Bethesda forums, Bethesda's Global Community Manager posted a message with some very gloomy news regarding not just Dawnguard for the PS3, but for all upcoming expansions for their acclaimed RPG.
Here's the message in its entirety:
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 don't know about you, but reading that "this is not a problem we're positive we can solve, but we're working on it " is not very comforting news.
Of course, this shouldn't really be a surprise as even Skyrim itself has had problems on the PS3. Mind you, the game has its fare share of bugs, but the ones it has on the PS3 might require a professional exterminator.
Does this news bother you or have PlayStation 3 players already moved on and accepted the fact that Skyrim runs poorly on your platform?
