I wonder what kind of computer does it take to run this.
Depending on how well they code it, maybe yours. I can run Half-Life 2 with every single option all the way up on a computer that cost me 1000 bucks total.
I can’t wait for this game. I’ve had Morrowind forever and still go back and play it every month or so. There’s just so much to do. And I still haven’t even started the main quest in Morrowind. The package you deliver when you start? Still sitting in my inventory.
The deer looks cool. I’d be happy if I never saw another cliff racer again.
I think it’d be cool if they could include multiplayer. Not like a MMORPG, I never want the series to go in that direction(even though it’s basically built like one with an actual story). But y’know, maybe if you have 4 or 5 to play with you could do stuff in groups.
I’m not very impressed. Notice how blurry those textures are and the pretty basic polygon structures. Compare this with Unreal 3 that’s coming out in a year or two and it just doesn’t compare.
Well, it certainly has more color than Morrowind. I got winter depression trying to play the game.
I’ve always had great respect for the games, because of what they managed to do…I just wasn’t getting into them. Hopefully, this one will change that.
Morrowind is probably the best game I’ve played, so naturally I can’t wait for this. It’ll probably also give me the excuse I need to upgrade my PC.
Is there an announced release date yet?
As of Feb. 3, no release date was available for Oblivion.
Take-Two Nabs Elder Scrolls IV, Cthulhu
2K Games adds Bethesda’s latest to its publishing roster.
By David Adams
February 3, 2005 - Take-Two Interactive’s new label 2K Games will co-publish The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, the latest epic RPG project from developer and co-publisher Bethesda Softworks. Bethesda will retain development and all rights to the Elder Scrolls franchise.
“As a publishing label of Take-Two Interactive, 2K Games has the benefit of a worldwide, industry-leading sales and distribution network, and Take-Two’s proven track record of releasing great games,” said Vlatko Andonov, President of Bethesda Softworks. “Through this partnership, Oblivion will reach the largest audience possible.”
Oblivion will use an advanced 3D graphics engine, advanced artificial intelligence, and, like previous Elder Scrolls titles, the latest chapter will feature open-ended gameplay encouraging free exploration of the game’s gigantic world. Oblivion is in development for the PC and “a next-generation console system,” which we can only assume means either PlayStation 3 or the next Xbox.
As part of a separate agreement, 2K Games will also join Bethesda in co-publishing Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth, a much-anticipated (and much-delayed) first-person horror title based on the work of H.P. Lovecraft. Cthulhu is being developed by Headfirst Productions for PC and Xbox.
Bethesda and Take-Two have not yet announced release dates for either title.
The E3 trailer is now online. http://www.elderscrolls.com/downloads/media_movies.htm. Is that Patrick Stewart?
On a related note, here’s a Morrowind done quick movie, where a guy plays through the main quest of Morrowind in 15 minutes. http://www.gamershell.com/news/21800.html
To answer a previous question posed in a quoted article…it’s going to be on the Xbox360.
20 minute gameplay movie narrated by one of the developers from Bethesda:

I’ve heard November 2005 for this, but can’t confirm. Anyone hear anything more specific?
In that trailer the guy narrating says “this Christmas”.
This will most likely be the game that prods me into buying a 360…
The game will be out day one for the 360, so I will be getting this little bugger Nov 22.
I’ll be buying the PC version, so I don’t think it’s the same date, unfortunately.
I’m counting on a review from you guys though.
I see some stuff that has it as a release title for day one, some that doesn’t have it listed. HK, you’re sure of the release? (I want you to be right, btw)
From IGN, via Gamefly:
“Overall the game was so far everything we hoped it could be. The environment was incredibly detailed, the voices were great, graphics smooth and believable, and the game felt much smoother and easier to control.”
"We then launched into the game’s character creation system. It was set up with the menu options on the left and a large head portrait of your created character on the right. Players could choose between Khajiit, Nord, Imperial, Orc, Redguard, Wood Elf, Argonian, Breton, Dark Elf, or High Elf for their race. After selecting a gender the face could be customized to very specific proportions. It was possible to manipulate your face’s shape and tone, as well as the cheeks, eyes, forehead, tone of beard, eyes and eyebrows, lips and nose. You could also change the hair style and color along with your character’s age and skin complexion. Overall it was extremely detailed and allowed for highly specific customizations.
You’ll have many of the same skill as in Morrowind like restoration, alchemy, destruction, light armor as well as strength, agility, and luck statistics, among many others. Birth signs are still in the game, as well as gauges for bounty, fame, and infamy."
And, well, you know…the game’s not in sepia-tone. It won’t cause winter-depression when you try to play it.

A short delay, but a delay nonetheless.
Bastard has been delayed until Spring, probably closer to April.
We were getting so close.
Oblivion has an official release date. Ships March 20th (06 I hope).
