And what troubles would that be?? I invested over 300 hours in the PS3 Oblivion and don't recall any "trouble" with it at all. Easily one of the best games ever IMO. That being said I am with you 100%. Bathesda, please give us more Elder Scrolls!!!

frame rate issues and what not. fingerz crossed 4 an e3 announcement.

What the heck kind of misinformation is firing off in this thread?

You should probably do some research on Oblivion PS3, and check out all the benefits.;)

Yeah I vaguely remember some minor FR issues now that you mention it. Very minor though but they WERE there. Anyway I'm crossing my fingers for an E3 announcement also.

Didn't the PS3 version have better graphics and better framerate out of the two?

The FR for both console versions was a minor issue from time to time, even on PC depending on your rig. Too many enemies firing magic at you can do that.

Vesica_Prime

Yes, and better draw distances as well...there was a patch on 360, but the PS3 still came out ahead. It's not a big deal, and we are giving far to much credit to Bethesda when it comes to glitches/FR.

Am I the only one who's craving more Fallout spinoffs than another Elder Scrolls game? (blashemy FTW! :P)DethSkematik

that would be good aswell but atleast we've heard new vegas is coming but we've heard nothing of elder scrolls

First of all, like everyone has told you, The game you're referencing, Oblivion, was touted by almost every reviewer as being overall better on the PS3.

Second, why are you trying to use a game that's dated from 2007 and 2006.....over 3 and 4 years old to cite as your "winz" example? Isn't that kind of silly, 821dan128?

Seriously, what's you're point?

The PS3 version of Oblivion is superior, so you might want to check that out.

The PS3 version runs Oblivion better then the Xbox 360 version does,http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/x360-v-ps3-multiformat-face-off-round-three-article?page=2.

Second comparison.

too bad, it doesnt support trophies and rumble, otherwise i would definately give it a try.

You base your game purchases on "trophies and rumble?"..o.....k

AND if people want to play a game nearly identical to Oblivion, go buy Dragon Age. Nearly the same game.

[QUOTE="MPHhunter"]You play games for trophies and rumble? There's no much rumble in the Xbox 360 version, and the PC mice don't have rumble. :( Anyways, I think that Bethesda should get a new engine for their next game. Like the Cryengine 3. Because right now, their games look like crap and run like crap on their approximately 10-year-old Gamebryo engine. See what Oblivion could look like on CryEngine 2 here: http://www.gametrailers.com/user-movie/oblivion-running-on-cryengine/203274UnknownSniper65

I can't believe people care that much for achievements and/or trophies.. Do they give you anything to the game if you win it? Nope.. Its a virtual pat on the back, you might as well have a white board next to you and write out your own goals.. OOOHH but I guess its for showing how "leet" you are.

VanDammFan

Uh no. They have way different combat and other things as well. The only similarities is that they are both fantasy rpgs...

I'm really hoping for an announcement of ESV soon...I'm ready for some more Elder Scrolls.

ES5 won't come out for a while because...

Bethesda just bought the D&D license from atari so that means...

Baldur's Gate 3 =Oblivion with Hamsters

Planescape Torment 2 =Oblivion with talking skulls

DA:O and Oblivion are nothing alike...

Are you sure? I have over 300hrs on Oblivion and have been playing DA:O for a while now. AND I would say they are nearly identical. The real and only difference is you have a party with you on your journey, and no horse. Other than that...to me, they are one in the same.

More like the The Glitch Scrolls, not Elder Scrolls.

BETHESDA is terrible at making games. Terrible. They release horribly unfinished games , as shown by both Oblivion and Fallout 3.

Or they should make it Ps3 exclusive so they can include way more stuff in the game and have better graphics.mgkennedy5

Oblivion was terrible on consoles because of no mods. Game was horrible without mods.

With that said I heard they are planning to make it into a MMO

Didn't the PS3 version have better graphics and better framerate out of the two?

Vesica_Prime

Yep it did! It was the first multi-plat to show a PS3 version as superior.

I hope thats sarcasm lol. Dragon Age, apart from both being RPGs set in a fantasy world, are vastly different. Dragon Age is about character development, choices, other influential characters, story, plot, etc. Oblivion is about a massive open world, do whatever the hell you want, exciting FP combat, etc etc. I dont see them as anywhere similar to easch other.

But while I agree the PS3 doesn't have "problems"... does it really run better on the PS3? GS for one gave it .1 (whatever that means) better for the xbox. I would not say that "Reviewers agree that the PS3 version is superior". the differences between them are very minor, if there is a superior version.

Oblivion was such a bad game. And I loved Morrowind.BattleTurtles

i have morrowind but just can't get into it

hahha and yh if the ps3 version was so good, how come xbox got the higher score?

Why ask us? After all, we didn't write the review.:|

However, you got links on the benefits of the PS3 version, and information for free in this thread.;)

To answer, the PS3 version came out way later, so it was an older game, despite the improvements. Older games suffer this fate sometimes. Star Ocean 4 recently came out for PS3 with improvements, and even added content...but it got the same score here at GS as the older 360 version. I would guess if the added content wasn't in SO4, the PS3 version would have a lower score. That's just one example out of myriads.:o

You should research Oblivion PS3, like I suggested on page one, or at least use some of the links you got in this thread. :!: 8)

I've never had problems with Bethesda's games. Besides maybe a few bugs here and there. But reloading a previous save usually fixes that.
