I would guess it probably does. If you include the dungeons and towns, it is definetly bigger. I have never actually tried running across the San Andreas world, but a lot of what makes the world seem big is the obstacles that get in your way so that you have take another route. Plus San Andreas has its share of needless empty space. They are both huge games though.

Nothing wrong with it. I just thought I'd take the PS2 line from last gen when those games showed up on the Cube or Xbox. It's all in fun.
Edit - You take this stuff way too seriously.

Ill will FTL. Ouch Speevy. All I know is that Bethesda sent out the release list that I put in the OP.
With that said, Take Two sent out a release schedule saying GTA: LCS would be out the end of April on PS2...and I broke that news here as well. It has now been delayed. So you can only count on publishers so much.

Not a lot of empty space in Oblivion, especially when you start exploring and find all the dungeons, towns, ruins, Inns, etc. that litter the country side.

I'm all for Oblivion coming out on as many consoles as possible so that Bethesda can have as much revenue as possible to sink into ES5, Fallout 3, and the Star Trek games (and maybe fix some of those crashing issues ).
No matter what happens, Bethesda FTW.

The best thing about this to me?
The PS3 is going to get way, way more western support than the PS2 did, including PC games I don't want to play on PC. I already know it will get all the good eastern devs. Now it will likely get what the ps2 lacked most, western rpgs and fps. That's great.

I wouldn't worry about that. MS is gonna have a great lineup for late 06-early 07 with games like Too Human, Gears of War, Mass Effect, Blue Dragon etc. Not to mention there are gonna be plenty of suprises at E3.
Plus Oblivion was never exclusive to begin with. It has always been on PC so I don't know where all this exclusive talk is coming from.

Why is anyone suprised? Wasn't it announced originally as for PC/XBOX 360/PS3? Big whoop, while you are waiting for it, I'll be playing it and enjoying it.

There goes my one reason to buy a 360 ^^'
Exclusives will definately be the big thing next generation. Although not even close to the same level Sony has, MS has enough for me to warrant the purchase, especially given I've played Oblivion almost non-stop for over three weeks now. Who cares if Oblivion is coming to PS3? Everyone should be able to enjoy the game.
I try to forget the 360 is a MS machine, because I actually really like the system. I just hate MS. The PS3 will still get the majority of the love from me, but MS will have some good games. I would have bought the 360 for Blue Dragon alone.
I'm just wondering if Nintendo will be able to show me anything that makes me HAVE to get a Revolution. Can't wait for E3

The biggest difference between the empty spaces in Oblivion and those of GTA:SA is that it's still interesting to look at as opposed to those big barren landscapes in GTA.

So, will the PS3 version be better?
i.e. Better use of harddrive to improve the game, framerate?
Less bugs?
Additional content?
Don't want to sound like a troll, but the first thing I did after reading this thread was check my receipt to see if I could return my 360 version.

It's funny how some posters are assuming this is a fanboy flame war without actually reading the thread:lol
I personally am glad about the news, and as I've stated before, I hope this indicates a trend to make all third party games multiplatform. Gaming is the sole entertainment media that requires multiple proprietary mediums and it absolutely is stunting the growth of the games market.
edit: dammit I made a thread that made Monorojo happy. The end of the world is nigh.

Although I don't really care about western-RPGs it makes me wonder. If Microsoft starts losing the PC developers' exclusives and huge support it got from them with xbox1 what will it leave them with? Things don't look good for 360.

I think for everyone in the Microsoft camp this would have been a nice exclusive to hold on to, but if this does come to the PS3, it is just one less reason to get an Xbox 360 over the PS3. It was a nice "AAA" reason, too. It's like when GTA came to Xbox, but at that point Sony didn't have much to lose. Even though this was expected by many people, it's still a pretty big blow to the Xbox 360's competitive advantage.
If the PS3's online service is close to Live and the controls + visuals are just as good or better, then the only things separating the 360 from the PS3 will be price and exclusives, and we all know price alone won't be enough (see Gamecube). Microsoft has got to 1) make sure as many 3rd parties at the very least make their games for the 360 in addition to PS3 2) release multiple killer app exclusives (e.g. like Halo) in succession and 3) market the system and the exclusives in a much better way than they did with Xbox.
So at this E3 if Microsoft doesn't wow everyone with their exclusives and have a bunch of surprises under its belt, then I think in most peoples' minds, the PS3 will run away with this generation before it even really starts. Nintendo is not resting on its laurels and neither is Sony (even though they can), so, now more than ever, Microsoft has to open its fat wallet and make extremely wise decisions to bring the best exclusive games to the 360 or they can kiss their chances good bye.

Yeah, I understand this is the standard argument but with the heavy reliance on middleware such as Unreal, Renderware and others I don't expect to see a lot of titles developed "close to the metal" as it is sometimes referred to. I don't expect any games this gen to fully exploit the capabilities of the 360 or PS3. Look at what the PS2 is capable of (GoW2)....and that is coming out in year 7.
For the overall games market, this is a very good trend. More money for devs = bigger market = more variety = better games.
