Nice. Can't wait for Skyrim to release. Just viewed the game recently and I'm surprised I didn't notice it earlier in the year.

Edit: Lol @ 360Ice

Yeah, I've been waiting for that theme all my life. It will drastically change the way we think of themes.

lifesanrpg4550d ago

Easily one of the most-anticipated games of the year. You found it just in time.

it's going to be great

"Bethesda promises PlayStation 3 owners some Skyrim goodies and themes coming next week"

Oh you guise didn't need to release goodies cause you gave us like tons of footage from the PS3 version of the game... Pff... The WORST marketing ever when it comes to PC and PS3 versions. I mean where are they? Why haven't we seen any? I know that Pete Hines said that they showed it without implying what versions they're taking from but come on. Even DICE showed the Xbox 360 version of BF 3 a month before release yet we're a week away from the release of Skyrim and there's nothing from the PS3 version AT ALL.

Yea, that's pretty weird how no footage has been shown.

NukaCola4550d ago

No PS3 or PC footage, only a handful of PC screens and only 360 footage. However Bethesda says they are putting a lot into the PS3 version, so hopefully with the new Creation Engine (thanks God Gamebryo is dead) and a little Tender Lovin' Care, PS3 gamers will be done right. I would love some Avatars to go alone with some sweet Dynamic themes.

lifesanrpg4550d ago

Pete Hines claimed that the initial trailer released was a mix of PC and Xbox 360 footage. Don't know how true that was, he kind of got caught in a lie.

downflow3114550d ago

Don't expect gamebryo to be dead. According to Todd Howard himself, Skyrim is a "similar-tech" game. Creation is just modified Gamebryo.

But who cares, this game is all about atmosphere and an epic open world, it will look just fine.

MasterCornholio4550d ago

I really do hope they do a good job with the PS3 version because I only have a PS3 and my laptop is crap for games.

Doesn't anyone find it funny that both the standard and special edition of the game that they send to reviewers are the 360 version.

I was really hoping for some $10 horse armor or something

jobboy4550d ago

since no ps3 footage... i passed from a day one to waiting for reviews/players report. That's all

persistentlobster4550d ago

Got the CE for ps3 ordered on amazon. I'd say you're safe because the ps3 version of oblivion and fallout 3 were practically identical to the 360 version.

Blacktric4550d ago

Oblivion was ported by a third party company and Fallout 3 was a mess on PS3 both graphical and performance wise. New Vegas had better textures on PS3 but had absolutely no AA and had some crippling performance issues when its released while it ran better on the Xbox 360 but it was made by Obsidian so yeah... I wouldn't comfort myself before the game comes out really. I also preordered the PS3 version but I'm looking forward to comparisons and I hope Lens Of Truth releases theirs before the game comes out.

persistentlobster4550d ago

@Blacktric

What are you talking about? Oblivion was not ported by a third party company and the ps3 version actually turned out to be superior over the 360 version, granted they had an extra year to smooth it out. And Fallout 3 looks identical on both platforms aside from a few glitches that were addressed shortly after launch. Fallout NV was made by Obsidian so that isn't even relevant.

I'm Replaying Skyrim (again), and So Should You

Replaying Skyrim after 13 years is a reminder of the progress made in western RPGs over the last decade, but also what's been lost.

anast14d ago

I tried, but it's a poorly made game that insults its customers.

lucian22914d ago

nah, only mods make it decent, and even then it's bad, and this is after i modded for at least 3 years

Nittdarko14d ago

Funnily enough, I'm about to play it for the first time in VR with 1000 mods to make the game playable, as is the Bethesda way

The 7 Best Western RPGs: Immersive Adventures

RPGs are often huge, sprawling endeavours. With limited playtime, we have to choose wisely, so here's the best western RPGs available today.

SimpleSlave14d ago

"I started playing games yesterday" the List... Meh!

How about a few RPGs that deserve some love instead?
1 - Alpha Protocol - Now on GOG
2 - else Heart.Break()
3 - Shadowrun Trilogy
4 - Wasteland 2
5 - UnderRail
6 - Tyranny
7 - Torment: Tides of Numenera

And for a bonus game that flew under the radar:
8 - Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden

Loved Alpha Protocol in all it's glorious jank. Great game.

SimpleSlave14d ago (Edited 14d ago )

Not only glorious jank, but the idea that the story can completely change depending on what you do, or say, or side with, makes it one of the most forward thinking games ever. The amount of story permutation is the equivalent of a Hitman level but in Story Form. And it wasn't just that the story changed, no, it was that you met completely new characters, or missed them, depending on your choices. Made Mass Effect feel static in comparison.

Alpha Protocol was absolutely glorious, indeed. And it was, and still is, more Next Gen than most anything out there these days. In this regard at least.

Pity.
