Oblivion Heads to PS3, PSP
OPM cover story has all the details.

Yes, the rumors are true: Oblivion is heading to PlayStation 3, and an
upcoming cover story in Official PlayStation Magazine has the exclusive
first look.
Here's what we know so far. The game will introduce a new faction to
the Oblivion world, one that's available right at the beginning called
Knights of the Nine and described by the developers as "the good Dark
Brotherhood." The goal here is to become the Divine Crusader (think
part warrior, part priest), and the quest features new locations,
characters, armor and weapons.

"Oblivion has these really good character archetypes for evil," says
executive producer Todd Howard. "It has the Dark Brotherhood: You get
your outfit, you feel like an assassin, you feel like an evil guy,
[and] you role-play like an evil guy. We [didn't] have the opposite end
of that. There [was] very little reward for being a goody two-shoes."

"As opposed to adding content that allowed your character to just
experience new quests, we wanted to create something that allowed your
character to become something new," he continues.

Fans may also be excited to hear that the series is heading to PSP in
Elder Scrolls Travels: Oblivion, a game that plays very similarly to
its big brother but takes place in a completely different setting.

For more information on both games, check out the cover story in the
November issue of Official PlayStation Magazine, on store shelves soon.
Check out the first screenshots of the PS3 game here, and look for many
more in OPM.

The future PS3 owners are in for a real treat. Oblivion is such a
good game.

This is excellent news. A game as brilliant as Oblivion needs the
biggest audience it can get.

From Bethesda's official press release: "Complete details on both games are
available in Official U.S. PlayStation Magazine's (OPM) exclusive cover
story (November issue), which hits newsstands Oct. 10. In its article OPM
previews the gameplay, graphics, and new content in Oblivion and concludes:
'If any game is worth the price of the PS3, Oblivion is it.' "

It's nice when publishers and magazines are so firmly in bed together that
the publisher uses the magazine to market the game for them. "Yeah, we can't
actually be bothered to give you screens and info, you'll have to check the
paid advertis... I mean, the impartial and unbiased news story about our
game in this upcoming magazine."

It's really unsettling just how much mags will whore themselves out for
exclusive cover stories -- or is it the publisher who's the whore? Either
way, it's no wonder no one takes game journalists seriously.

But at least Oblivion will see an even wider audience. It'll be interesting
to see what the game looks like on PS3, but ain't no way I'm playing through
it again!

For a while before i bought it, people were raving about it. So many
people talking about it, and i had no clue what it was all about. I had
the impression that it was just a really well done MMORPG(something
with a fee). After asking around, i found out it was only single
player. So i bought it. The beginning was cool, but i really didnt care
for the oblivion gates. Those little fireball throwing bastards would
just kill me so easily. Eventually i'll get around to continuing my
quest.

Thanks. Finally a CONFIRMED report of Oblivion coming to the PS3, not
just vague rumors posted as etched in granite facts. This annoucement
isn't surprising given oblivion's success on the 360 and the fact it
was already on the pre-release list on GameStop.com for the last few
months.

Well, I set aside Oblivion for a while... I do plan to play again -- I need
to do the entire Fighter's Guild stuff to get my 1000 Achievement points.

Agreed, but I am wondering how it will work on the PSP. 3rd person
isomorphic like the cell phone versions?

Think of it this way. The internet is the whore, giving it up everyday,
all day. The magazine is your wife. While she doesnt give it up all the
time (once a month) you still seem to look forward to it, because at
least you can depend on it somewhat and its of better quality, has more
class, and is usually better educated.

LOL.

Way I see most gaming magazines, I'd equate it more
like a cheap lay ^_^.

Don't you think that this will probably be the definitive launch title in
terms of demonstrating what the PS3 can do in comparison to the 360?

Well, yes and no. I think anyone that hates PS3 will contend that it only
looks better because it's coming out later. That given the extra time the
360 version could have looked just as good, etc...

The only way either console wins is if one outsells the other in a major
way. (i.e.. PS2 vs. Xbox) Numbers don't lie.

But that's my point. With all the garbage about how difficult it is to
program for the PS3 and how games look almost identical, Oblivion could
disprove both of those.
