Bethesda "Not Satisfied" With Dawnguard PS3 Performance

Bethesda appears to be the last great developer that still, after all these years, can't figure out the PlayStation 3. The publisher is refusing to release Skyrim expansion, Dawnguard, until it's happy with its performance on Sony's system.

"We are not satisfied yet with Dawnguard's performance on the PS3," reads an update on the Bethesda blog. "We would like for everyone to have a chance to play Dawnguard, but we aren't going to release it for PS3 knowing that some people's experience in Skyrim will be worse.

"We do everything we can to have our content available to all; from our free updates, to user mods, to paid DLC. We're as disappointed as our fans when that isn't the case, but we'll continue to push for that reality."

Dawnguard is not the first time Bethesda has had development problems with the PS3. The initial release of Skyrim last year was riddled with bugs, and players have had issues with Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas in the past.

Xbox 360 and PC players can download Dawnguard right now.
