RicaneliteOblivion Launches with PS3
Though given long-circulating rumors, it may not be shocking to our regular readers, Bethesda Softworks today announced that The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, the acclaimed RPG which has already wowed Xbox 360 and PC gamers, will arrive for the launch of PlayStation 3. Further, the company is adapting the game for portable play in the form of The Elder Scrolls Travels: Oblivion for the PSP.
The Elder Scrolls IV arrived for PC and Xbox 360 in March, and quickly nabbed numerous high scores and Game of the Year nominations -- not to mention grabbing hours upon hours from players lost in its expansive landscape and open-ended story. Along with advanced A.I. and character customization, Oblivion features lush graphics, plentiful side-quests. The game's soundtrack has won awards and its voice cast includes Patrick Stewart, Sean Bean, Terrance Stamp, and Lynda Carter.
For now, Bethesda isn't detailing just how Oblivion on the PlayStation 3 will differ from its forebears, though there's little doubt Sony's new machine can handle the game's detailed visuals and epic scope. The company has said even less about the PSP title, except that it is slated to arrive in spring 2007.
As for the main attraction, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion for PlayStation 3 is scheduled to arrive in North America on November 17 -- the same day the console itself reaches (and disappears from) retail shelves. The game will reach Europe in March, simultaneous with PS3's launch in that territory.
Well to me this is shocking new, being that I have always thought Oblivion was always going to be a Microsoft title that will only be release on the Xbox and PC Computer. Well I guess not! I just wonder how the heck that will work for a Sony PSP? On a playstation 3 I could understand but on a PSP I dont know! Well I guess we will find out in the next couple of months.
I will keep you all updated on this title, to see what changes Bethesda is going to make on the PS3 and PSP.
