This wasn't unexpected, and finally confirmed today.

Quote:

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.

Holy Crap Spoonman seems to be the #1 poster of new topics here.. Haven't checked out the xbox360 forum yet, but I'd know for sure that I've arrived in the Twilight Zone if Spoon is bashing the 360 over there?

I kid

Spot is a ghost town, I'm sure you've all discussed it to death..

Anyways, Good news for more people to play ES:IV.. I'm done with my copy from the 360 and will not be buying again. Good news for Bethesda as well, more money in their pockets, more money for developing the next game

I totally agree. I'm glad its making its way to the PS3 for the reasons you've said and also because its just such an awesome game. It would suck for people not have the chance to play it simply because their home was limited to one console.

It will probally look tons better on the PS3, too.

Jon Liu · 10-06-2006, 06:29 AM

maybe... maybe not..

At this point, with the lack of stuff we've seen from Sony's part, everything looks-wise is rough speculation.

This is what I've read at a few places (supposedly the source is a moderator at the Bethesda forum). So basically the same game with some slight differences since it's been out for a long time already. To the untrained I, I wouldn't expect much to be noticeable.

"Confirmed

- New Faction (adds a couple hours of gameplay... goodie two shoes knights. New equipment to be earned from them. Most likely will end up for download on other versions, but dont cross your fingers)

- A "blurring" effect (in Laymans terms. Its actually far more complex) is applied to the area where high detail turns into low detail in outside environments. So instead of it being hard line where high suddenly turns to low, the transition will be smoother on the eye.

- Slightly pop up distance (grass, objects)
- Will contain all the content released for download on the other two systems."

Hey M.C. - welcome back. I hadn't noticed you around here before this post.

GoatMother · 10-06-2006, 09:05 AM

Thanks CoryB23.. I just joined yesterday and posted in the New Member area.

Can't wait to get back online, it's been a while. Even then I rarely played with you guys, hopefully that will change soon.

Nice to see they are tweaking it and adding to it for Sony's release. No point in not taking the time to add and address things for a later release. Very cool Bethesda!

How dare they steal something from the 360...just shows you that the PS3 is the little kid who lags behind in everything.

BrewCityUpstart · 10-08-2006, 06:39 PM

Dammit. I was trying to get a rise out of Spoon.

IGN interview, october 11th:

IGN: Are all of the add-ons going to ship with it or will they still be extra?

Howard: The downloadable content is actually designed to work with a game that is in-progress and doesn't work as well with a new game. So instead we focused on Knights of the Nine as the new stuff to add to Oblivion that would work well no matter where you are in the game. Downloadable content is something we'd like to support on PS3, but right now that's really in Sony's hands.

IGN: How will the PS3's tilt functionality be utilized in the PS3 version?

Howard: We aren't supporting tilt.

IGN: Will there be a special edition like the X360 and PC versions had?

Howard: No, standard edition only.

IGN: Are you able to use the hard drive on the PS3 to make the world stream better?

Howard: We use it pretty much the same way we use the 360 hard-drive.

IGN: Will the Knights of the Nine quests eventually become available for X360 and PC players of Oblivion, or are they exclusively PS3's?

Howard: We always aim to have all our content available across all platforms, so Yes that is our goal.

IGN: Has Sony been able to provide you with enough information so that downloadable content for Oblivion will be available for the PS3 version somewhere down the line?

Howard: How Sony will handle this is still a little fuzzy to us, but it is our intention to make that content available for PS3 as soon as we're able.
