Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim on PS3, Don’t fret says Bethesda

We've been getting drip fed Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim information ever since launch, but one thing we haven't had the chance to see is the PlayStation version of the game. We all know that the PC version of the game will be superior, but what about console parity between the Xbox 360 and PS3? Bethesda's Pete Hines gave PS3 Elder Scrolls fans some comfort when he recently took to Twitter to calm any doubts about the PS3 version of the game.

 

Hines said he " Watched Todd ( Todd Howard, Director of TESV) play Skyrim for quite a while. Had no idea he was playing PS3 version until he held up controller...So PS3 owners, don't fret."

 

That being said, Hines is the Director of Marketing for the company, and its pretty much his job to say that. We'll reserve judgement for when the game hits store shelves. But with so many multiplatform games converting to the PlayStation 3 so well recently, it wouldn't be a longshot for the PS3 version to come out looking just as good if not better than the Xbox 360 version of the game.

 

Hines also addressed a few other points when responding to fans on Twitter. He noted that there will be multiple actors for each race in the final version of the game. A complaint that was levied against both Morrowind and Oblivion.

Prostitution in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

 

Bethesda's latest Elder Scrolls game will hit store shelves this November. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim has recently underwent the mandatory ESRB rating, and with it, the ratings agency deemed the role-playing adventure a mature title. They cited graphic violence, prostitutes, sex slaves, binge drinking and more.

 

"ESRB Rating summary for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim: This is a fantasy role-playing game in which players assume the role of Dovakin, a prophesied figure with the power to combat dragons in the fictional world of Skyrim. As players traverse through mountainous open-world environments, they complete missions and quests that impact the eventual fate of their character. Players use swords, bows and arrows, axes, and magic attacks (e.g., fireballs, ice shards) to kill various enemies (e.g., wolves, dragons, human bandits and soldiers).

 

As players engage in melee-style combat, some sequences are highlighted by slow-motion effects, particularly for decapitations. Large blood-splatter effects also occur during combat, and some environments are stained with blood or body parts (e.g., heads impaled on spikes). Some sequences allow players to injure/kill nonadversary characters, including prisoners chained to a wall; they scream in pain amid splashes of blood or fire.

 

As the game progresses, the dialogue and on-screen text contains references to sexual material (e.g., “. . . all the whores your heart, or any other organ, desires,” “She . . . raped the men as cruelly as Bal had ravished her,” and “Remember when you thought [he] was . . . intent on making you . . . into his personal sex slave?”).

 

Alcohol such as wine, mead, and ale can be purchased and consumed by players' character throughout the game; and in one sequence, players can engage in a drinking contest with another character, which eventually results in slurred speech (e.g., “One more. No problemsh . . . Thash grape!”)."

Oblivion was released in 2006 and forum was created in 2007... :bigyellowgrin:

so no love for older games... :ranting:

I'll just ask my question here then

so, I've just started playing this game and am finding the battle extreeeeemely difficult. Even the rats are kicking my a*s :(

I've seen in the videos people killing rats and zombies with just one strike and it takes me 6-7 strikes to kill...and I'm getting killed after just 1-2 strikes.. :furious:

wat am I doing wrong/??
