Elders Scrollls IV: Oblivion heading to PS3

 

Elders Scrollls IV: Oblivion for ps3

Elders Scrollls IV: Oblivion is heading to Sony 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.

PlayStation 3 Magazine received a Sony PlayStation 3 test unit

 

The PlayStation 3 Magazine, a UK-based PlayStation magazine has revealed that they have just received a PlayStation 3 test unit.

“Alreet, Nathan here on Friday that turned into one of the best days to work on PSM3. Not only have we secured the most exciting reviews issue since the dawn of PS2 (we can’t say much, but we’ve got at least three of the best games to hit the stores this year and a world exclusive of an absolute gem on PSP) but the good folk from Sony popped into the office with a fully working PS3!” the article read. So far, magazine employees have tested out MotorStorm and Resistance: Fall of Man.

The lucky ones who managed to get their hands on the unit have commented that the controller felt lighter than expected and that the motion-sensing feature was preferred over conventional joysticks. “The pads lighter than we anticipated and we were pleasantly surprised by the top-notch feel when controlling the vehicles with the pads motion rather than the sticks,” the article went on to say.
