Xbox owner needing PS3 owners answer on Skyrim

They'd have to rank it higher than the texture travesty that is the 360 version, and rather than do that, they ignore it.

Dunno, but I'm sure Tom Mcshea has something to do with it. And why would you need PS3 owners to tell you something related to Gamespot?

Reason I asked for PS3 owners was I wasn't sure if there was a shipping problem or what. I figured being a PS3 owner they would keep up on PS3 game issues and news.wolfbm

Apparently Bethesda was only shipping out 360 review copies. And on a side note:

What the hell?

KevinV is currently doing the review he says it current has a sound bug and some framerate issues. They were only sent PC and 360 review copies as far as I'm aware.

Wait so is the 360 version actually cloth and the PS3 version paper?

I own all the systems so don't flame me a fanboy, but I have Skyrim for the 360. What I want to know is, can anyone tell me why 5 days after release Skyrim for the PS3 still doesn't have a rating on GS?wolfbm

I have buy the PS3 Version (PAL)and it have the cloth map version inside.

mw3 never got reviewed for ps3,wii and ds

Strange...
I have the PS3 version and I got a cloth map with it.

we opened up our preordered copy in the parking lot looking for that "cloth map" and found this glorified construction paper one!! ... just don't like how they say you get one thing and then on launch they say,"well when we said cloth we actually meant cardboard that looks similar to burlap"wolfbm

Bethesda didn't go back on their word; they never promised a cloth map, instead describing it as "a high-grade material that has a feel similar to burlap" in a blog post in June. The map was widely misreported as being actual cloth despite Bethesda's clarification.

They did not get pre-release copies they had to purchase their own at release and still play to review it.

Also my PS3 version has the large cloth map as well. The paper version may for non pre-orders or something.

The pic is a tad misleading. The burlap is only in the pre-order version. So they took a pre-order 360 version and a regular PS3.

GS is waiting for Bethesda to patch the 360 version and get rid of that awful texture problem so they can say the versions are identicalKevinButlerVP

They're already identical. You just need to play the game from the disc. Come on Kevin.

i brought the game day one on the ps3 without pre ordering it and I have the cloth map

I've a cloth map with my PAL PS3 version.

Don't be silly, PS3 owners only play "teh ezccxzzlusives111!!!"

It must be cow season with all these ps3 fanboys creaming themselves. Allow me to be the bearer or bad news for your crappy system. ..

http://www.lensoftruth.com/does-the-ps3-version-of-skyrim-also-have-texture-streaming-issues/ (pics included)

Now it seems the same texture streaming issue may be present in the PS3 version. A few complaints have popped up on the Bethesda forums regarding the issue. The original poster, Ulyaoth, was informative enough to upload a few screens capturing the problem. There are a few more pics over on the Bethesda forums so be sure to head over and check them out. The topic has also appeared on the IGN boards. We know a lot of our users here are playing Skyrim (probably as we type), and we would like to know if anyone playing the PS3 version has seen this bug. As Bethesda stated Friday, they are hard at work on a fix for the installed 360 version of Skyrim. If this is an actual issue on the PS3, and not just a rare case, we would bet all of our coins a patch will be in the works ASAP. Skyrim is a one of a kind game and incredible experience that deserves to look the absolute best it can… all of the time.

... And to add to that, the ps3 version is also uglier. So same streaming issues except xbox owners have the OPTION of installing the game and suffering the streaming bug whereas ps3 owners have to install it, uglier game overall, and a crap controller. I rest my case.

I'll answer your question,

Bethesda sent out review copies only for the 360 because they have an ad deal with Microsoft as well as having the 360 as the lead platform..

The cloth maps are included in both versions however you have to have preordered it from a retailer who has them in stock

It got 8.5ed :o but GS is in $$$$ talks right now with Sony to see what a 9.0 would be worth to them. :shock: :twisted:

I kid, I kid but then again just in case....

Don't let the Dawgs out !! :P

Actually the 360 version takes a dump on the PS3 version. Not only was I lucky enough to play both versions (Thank you Redbox), I played them both on the same TV. As long as you do not install the 360 version, it is vastly superior. The PS3 has a lot of texture pop-in and the frame rate is borderline stupid in places where you would think there would not be any.

Then you're either very lucky or you havnt played the game much yet, i had barely any issues till about 20 hours in then the game went to hell, constant framerate issues even in some tiny buildings. And yes i'm talking about the PS3 version (i've a 350gig Slim PS3).

Oh and just to chime in on the map thing, i also got the "cloth" map with my PAL PS3 version.

They'd have to rank it higher than the texture travesty that is the 360 version, and rather than do that, they ignore it.

it's like some freaky neo parchment made from plastic or something. i swear you could make a hammock out of it and sleep in it.

as far as the topic goes you can't just copy paste reviews between versions anymore since they are different from each other and rather than get it wrong they just don't review one version.

Switch console names much ? We all know the top pic is really the PS3 version and the bottom pic is the 360 version......i've seen these pics on other sites, but your a 360 fanboy so you obviously switched the names so the 360 would be the clearer PS3 screenshot....nice try though.Slimmin360

Maybe you should check the source of these pictures before you make yourself look even more stupid !

If you followed the Skyrim thread on Neogaf you would already know the PS3 problems before the LOT and DF comparisons because of a ton of angry PS3 Skyrim owner impressions there .

I like how the Cows here jumped the gun again and ridiculed the 360 version for the texture problem the PS3 also seems to have and more .

You get a way bigger and detailed map if you buy the strat guide... Tears right out of the book.
