Oblivion: launch title for PS3, Spring ’07 for PSP
As a follow up to our earlier article about The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion being a launch title for the PS3 in November, we’re gonna give the news to you straight from the guys at Bethesda Softworks themselves. But first, let’s give a game primer for the benefit of those who are not yet familiar with the game, shall we?
Hmm..let’s see, where do we start? With the free-form gameplay, stunning graphics, or cutting edge AI? Well anyhoo, no matter which one matters the most to you, Oblivion has them all. And if that isn’t enough to peak your interest, perhaps the game’s soundtrack and voice actors will; Sean Bean, Terrance Stamp, Lynda Carter, and Patrick Stewart will be lending their voice talents to the game.
Still not interested? Alright, maybe this will: the game is set after the mysterious and untimely death of the Emperor, leaving the throne of Tamriel empty. As the Empire lies in a sea of anarchy, the gates of Oblivion open and demons invade the land, laying to waste to everything in their path and enveloping the empire in utter darkness. Your mission: to be the ray of sunlight in the land and find the lost heir to throne to prevent total destruction of Tamriel plotted by the demons.
Now, if that still doesn’t get you going, then we don’t know what will. Oh, maybe the news that The Elder Scrolls Travels: Oblivion will be released on the PSP in Spring 2007? Or that come Oct.10, Oblivion’s gameplay, graphics, and new content will be previewed in OPM (Official US PlayStation Magazine)? The same magazine, which, by the way, declared that “If any game is worth the price of the PS3, Oblivion is it.”
If you still manage to yawn after all this, damn you’re a tough one to crack. But for the others who are as excited about this as we are, we promise to keep you posted for more updates.
