Xbox 360 Easier to Use for Skyrim Demonstrations, Says Bethesda

I do very much hope this isn't indicative of a poor performance on the Playstation 3. At this point, I was hoping they'd have figured out designing for it.
Yes i just meant its not as big a deal like it would be for BF3 for example, also we didnt see any 360 to PC comparisons of graphics yet so im not going up in panic about it.dillinger88 said:I agree, the moddability of PC versions of games is amazing, but it shouldn't really come down to modders to really take advantage of PC hardware. The developers should be trying harder, in my opinion. The more this is accepted, the more they're likely to just do a sloppy port and go "the modders'll fix it."adamtm said:
The scary thing is that companies like EA are starting to restrict mods from their games, namely BF3. I hope this isn't the future of PC gaming.
Ive say this though, i do not personally condone development for console and PC-porting it later. However this is how the industry works atm, consoles have their 15 minutes of fame, then they will turn into PCs anyways (contrary to what MovieBob believes).
That's developing the game, which they've already done. Not just plugging in a PS3 and putting in the disc, which is what I wanted. It's just as easy as the Xbox and more relevant to my interests.Coldster said:
Isn't that what they have been doing?teebeeohh said:
Well, I'm definitely not getting this for the ps3 anyway. That's going to be a total disaster. I just hope that the PC version isn't.
They have to stop trying to hype this game. Every statement they've made since E3 has made me wary of this title.
Wouldnt they need to install it on the PS3? The Xbox can run the game without any extra care.Easton Dark said:
I dont know this for sure, thats why I am asking.
Were they? Could have sworn they were using a PC.666Chaos said:
I don't know. Their track record would suggest yes, but maybe not. Even so, it's not like they just rush the systems and games out onto the floor. I'm pretty sure they could give it 10 minutes to install.josemlopes said:
As long as Skyrim meets a few (hopefully not demanding requirements) I don't mind them showing off the console version.
1. The UI doesn't have to be modded to show more than a handful of items at a time on PC. First thing I do every time I install Oblivion is get a UI mod for it because I hate only being able to see a couple items at a time when I have the resolution and screen space to deal with more.
2. There are no major memory leaks that causes game stability issues. It wasn't so much a problem for the base game. But, The Shivering Isles had a rather nasty NPC ID problem that if left unchecked caused major issues very quickly.
3. Lack of DLC which focuses on outfitting animals with plate-mail or player housing. Basically, I want DLC to mean something in the game. Even though I have the GotY version, there are only a couple of the DLCs that I feel are really worth paying for. The rest, if I didn't have them in the version I have I wouldn't have missed them.
4. A decent ending to the main storyline. I won't go into what happens; but how about let me take an active role this time? Just as long as you don't pull the same thing you did in Fallout 3 and sell the real ending down the road.
5. Finally, don't make dragons turn into giant cliffracers! I want to be able to enjoy seeing a dragon and fighting it. Not dread seeing the shadow of one because I just killed five of them within the span of ten minutes.

I suppose that is a devious idea; if people haven't yet seen the demonstration of the PC's graphical quality, they will be pleasantly surprised when it comes out... why does it still have to be three and a half months away?
makes sense. Logistically its probably a lot easier to just use a 360 than trying to make sure they'll have a pc with proper specs set up for you, or bringing your own and trying to get it to play nice with whatever projection setup they're using.
