An initial image and info have been revealed for the first Skyrim DLC. It’s called Dawnguard and is set for a summer release.
A poster at Bethesda forums has allegedly uncovered details of upcoming Skyrim DLC content detailed in patch files. Snow elves and crossbows appear to be on the cards.
Skyrim’s not had an easy time on PS3 but one thing’s carved in stone by dragon talons: we’re getting Skyrim DLC. A recent announcement stated “Bethesda has been hard at work on creating the first set of add-ons. This will add new quests, locations, features, and much more to the world of Skyrim.” With that in mind let’s examine all the quotes, tweets and other evidence to answer the question, what’s in the Skyrim DLC?
Bethesda’s VP of PR Pete Hines has just tweeted that Skyrim’s PS3 1.5 update will be out “this afternoon”. It includes new kill cams and a range of fixes.
The main thing you’ll get from Skyrim’s new 1.5 update is a range of new kill cams and animations. There’s everything from wrestling moves to swords thrust into soft places. The new cams also cover archery and magic. Basically killing people just got a lot more fun to watch. There’s also a range of fixes for various knackered missions. Full list and trailer after the click.
Skyrim director Todd Howard has admitted developers working on the game were aware of a “bad memory situation” with the PS3 version. He also says that the issues that plagued the game on PlayStation and lead to a disappointing PS3 Skyrim review were nothing to do with the large size of the save files.
That’s the 1.4 million dollar question. The PS3 Skyrim lag debacle has been spindling a web of framerate-related sadness like a giant, unruly Frostbite Spider since the game’s release in November. Now, though, it looks like Lagzilla might finally have been put out of its misery, thanks to the new Skyrim 1.4 PS3 patch. Well, ‘might’.
Can I post this as staff? It feels like a staff post, it’s a bit Kotaku really isn’t it? Still, here’s a surprisingly good lady Dovahkiin. I’ve no other info other than that. None of the sites I’ve found posting it have any info or source and none of them have a comment thread I’m happy linking to. Full image after the break. Possibly NSFW depending on your feelings towards…
Prepare to have those ocular type holes in your head drilled full of PS3-related video goodness. In this week’s round up, we have hundreds of Skyrim cows hurtling down a mountain, Resident Evil 6′s trailer minus all the talky melodrama and someone playing Red Dead Redemption on PlayStation Vita.
Skyrim‘s lag has been well-documented on this site – look at our Skyrim disaster timeline, for example. We moan because we love the game, and we want to be able to play it. Is that day about to come? According to the details of the 1.4 update on the Bethesda blog, it is.
