New Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Screens

A new batch of images of the upcoming PS3 version of Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion.

NoUseMerc6306d ago

According to a new hands on over at IGN, Oblivion is really lokoing good on the PS3. They said that load times are faster, glitches and bugs are fixed, and the textures look sharper on the PS3 version.

ElementX6306d ago

It's coming out a year later. Been there, played that, last year.

Master of Menace6305d ago

Oh, that's right. 360 owners, they don't count. There's over 100 million people who haven't played it. And they will be playing the definitive version.

Here's the link http://www.ps3forums.com/sh...

its about time
Better Texture , better loading , so on...........
For this Result i gave The Dev a Respect Big Credit this one is for me
Don't know which one to pick this coming March

Good to see them put that Blu-ray disc to good use. Faster load times + Higher Res textures with a little glitch fixing on the side. Sweet! Oh yeah, and the built in expansions don't hurt either. =]

PS360PCROCKS6306d ago

rented this one, but sorry DJ, I would rather get the game a year early than wait for better textures and loading times. Although that is a big perk

MoonDust6306d ago (Edited 6306d ago )

Haven't played this game in a long time but it looks pretty much the same. After all those delays i thought it would be a lot better.

nice_cuppa6306d ago

and shadows ?

go through the pics and tell me im wrong !

if i get better texture resolution but loose the cool lighting and shadows i think its a bad trade of.

maybe its just weird pics or unfinished code but from a year old port i have to say meh !

InMyOpinion6306d ago

That's what I thought when I saw RFOM; where's the lighting and shadow effects?! Strange...

D R Fz6306d ago

but if you want a shadow then: http://www.psu.com/node/762...
and if you want lighting then: http://www.psu.com/node/760...

There is no trade off. Oblivion just got a whole lot better. Period.

InMyOpinion6305d ago

It looks exactly like the xbox 360 version. It's good that they worked out faster loading times, no thanks to the blu-ray tho. It's purely because they use the built in hdd for caching in a way they did'nt on the 360 version. Probably could have if they had more time to work with it.
But hey! Now you get the chance to play last years best rpg!

If this is true, I hope it leads to Morrowind getting remade next.

-Foxtrot23d ago

I thought they’d go for Morrowind first to be honest but this is a welcoming surprise to tide us over before ES6

TheColbertinator23d ago

Well said. Exactly my thoughts too.

Tedakin23d ago

Unreal Engine isn't efficient for open world games, so I question the reliability of this story.

isarai23d ago

Yeah, 1st thing that came to my mind too, although i CAN see it being likely for ease if use, but it's not going to run very well if so

Tacoboto23d ago (Edited 23d ago )

I'd wonder if it would just be exploiting Unreal for graphics but the underlying engine/logic is still the original framework.

Like how we had the graphical remakes of Halo Anniversary, Tomb Raider I-III, and Demon's Souls.

Could also end up a disaster like the GTA Trilogy

mkis00722d ago

I have heard that too but even if it's modified isnt arkham knight UE?

Fragslayer22d ago

"remake will run both an Unreal Engine 5 project and the old Oblivion project. For instance, new graphics are rendered in the Unreal Engine 5 project, but most of the gameplay and physics are still done on the original Oblivion engine"

So with this logic it'll run just fine using UE5 tool sets on top of Gamebryo's engine or maybe even Creation Engine, who knows.

Hopefully modders can fix the aged combart in this game if this is true. Enemies leveling up with you broke and defeated the whole purpose of leveling up.

Fragslayer22d ago

Yeah it could use some tuning for sure hence the need for a Remake not a Remaster. I'm surprised it's even a conversation within them group which makes me skeptical it's Oblivion. I wouldn't say they shouldn't level up at all though maybe just a leave them a couple levels behind to appease the masses.
