September 28, 2006 - 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.

The game is practially designed for the Wii, and would work perfectly with the Wii-mote. Yet, they release it on a console that not many people will be buying. It just doesn't make any sense to me. --------------------

Never heard of the ability to lower the graphics quality? They could do a similar job like Oldblivion, which changes the shader versions so they can run on lower end computers, and they could also lower the poly-count of some objects, such as the ridiciously high poly grass and rocks, for example.

you are aware that a game initially intended to be exclusive to a certain platform is usually heavily leveraged in the api for it, it's not like they can just remove some polys, recompile and it'll work just fine on another system
