The game looks quite great, and I can't wait for this fall to get it.

Odysseus · May 18, 2005

Can I assume by that last shot that you will be able to play in third person for this? If so, I'm all over it.

Guy LeDouche · May 18, 2005

This fall? I'll wait for the better graphics on PS3.

I always wanted to say that. Oblivion looks beautiful regardless of the system

SiegfriedFM · May 18, 2005

Is PS3 confirmed? If so, I can avoid repeating history (I bought Xbox more or less only for Morrowind).

Alex · May 18, 2005

That is still one unfortunate helmet.

Morrowind lets you play both in first and third person. I don't see why it would be any different with Oblivion.

P. Moore mentioned this would be available during the launch window, so at the very least by the end of the year.

Monk · May 18, 2005

Hmm.. the out door areas look awesome, but the indoor looks... "off".

PhatSaqs · May 18, 2005

:lol Gorgeous.

No tech demos here

Hitler Stole My Potato · May 18, 2005

I'll buy a 360 just for this.

Mrbob · May 18, 2005

Wow, that looks fantastic. I never picked up morrowind but I noticed I can get the PC game of the year edition for 20 bucks with the expansions. May grab it.

I'm shocked at the graphical detail Bethesda has accomplished. Is this a 360 launch title?

No its not. Confirmed for PC and X360 Winter 2005.

But maybe eventually.

golem · May 18, 2005

i think ps3 is confirmed

dammit basic servers are full!

StoOgE · May 18, 2005

yeah, this looks really awesome, especially given the open ended nature of the game.

Malakhov · May 18, 2005

Xbox 360/PS3 and PC I believe.

True, it was spoken of in the GI article in which the game was revealed, if that still counts today.

launch window, so by the end of the year.. though this is a prime candidate for being delayed a bit..

They said during the press conference that it will shiip during the "launch window", meaning that it will probably miss the actual launch day but be released within the next few months. Considering that Morrowind sold better on Xbox than PC, I bet they will try to get it out by Christmas.

Baron Aloha · May 18, 2005

Yeah, this is for PS3 also.

I knew that about Morrowind, that's why I was hoping it was true about Oblivion as well. I need to play Morrowind, actually, it came out before I got into RPGs.

Shaheed79 · May 18, 2005

It looks great but the seem where he's fighting in 3rd person the animation needs to be fleshed out a little more. I think all studios should invest in some form of motion capturing next generation.

the wording you used is priceless.

Optimistic · May 18, 2005

GOTY.

Malakhov · May 18, 2005

Very nice video.

Arcticfox · May 18, 2005

Still no shadows? I thought they were supposed to have been implemented months ago.

Hournda · May 18, 2005

The game looks awesome but the Patrick Stewart tie in is really lame. Westwood Studios did that with Lands of Lore about 10 years ago. Luckly his character dies right at the beginning of the game.

CrimsonSkies · May 18, 2005

I'll be playing that while everyone is complaining about the Xbox 360 power. It wouldn't look like that on my PC.

Claus · May 18, 2005

Jean-Luc Picard = instant sale.

Too bad Jean-Luc isn't in the game

segarr · May 18, 2005

Can I get confirmation about this coming out on PS3??? I haven't read that anywhere.

I thought that I read that it was coming to PS3, but Gamespot only has it down for X360 and PC.

newsguy · May 18, 2005

Damn, this is nice stuff. The screen with the trees is stunning.

Hitler Stole My Potato · May 18, 2005

There's no way I would be willing to wait another year to play this on my PS3. I want it now.

Seems doubtful given the lack of a standard HD.

Ramirez · May 18, 2005

Damn,it shall be mine,I just hope they made the combat more fun and less clunky...I shouldn't be struggling to kill some rats...

Alex · May 18, 2005

Helmet or not, it still looks pretty slick. I just hope this time around the third person mode feels like less of a PC-esque throw away option as per usual, and that the lore is more digestible, so to speak.

Red Scarlet · May 18, 2005

Elder Scrolls 6? What happened to 5? And I thought 4 was brand-new? Yeah, I'm an ass.

MetatronM · May 18, 2005

That dude in the helmet still looks retarded, but otherwise this is hot.

Just look at that forest.

Shaheed79 · May 18, 2005

This is only the 4th ES game in the main game timeline.

Elder Scrolls: Arena 1994

Elder Scrolls: Daggerfall 1996

Elder Scrolls: Morrowind 2002

Elder Scrolls: Oblivion 2005

Then there is Elder Scrolls Redguard 1998 and another online title.

Yeah I wanna see some gameplay of that forest in realtime just to put all my last fears away. The forest is 3x more impressive than the other areas.

BigBoss · May 18, 2005

Oblivion is announced for Xbox360, PC, PS3.

jimbo · May 18, 2005
