Oblivion to be PS3 launch title! ...and a PSP version?

It looks like there might be a role reversal this time around between sony and ms, with the Xbox 360 getting the big games first followed by ports to the PS3, at least in '06. it'll probably equalize by late 2007. 1st and 2nd party exclusives (plus 3rd party exlcusives, timed or otherwise) will make the difference.
No kidding. I HATED Morrowind, but this game has me completely entranced. As for exclusives, MS will have ENOUGH exclusives that I'll need both. Although I don't care about Halo at all MS has Bioware, Gears, and Blue Dragon in their corner. That's enough for me to have it. Besides, PS3 is still a good 7 months or more away, and I've still got Oblivion and GRAW to keep me occupied.
My main machine was always going to be the PS3 though.

Changes would just be a bonus. Its enough that people who own a PS3 will have the chance to play such an amazing game.Zenith said:

Sooner than that in the majority of cases, I'd expect. I think this will typically only apply for games released before PS3's launch, or shortly thereafter.

Depending on how compressed the audio was in the first place, it could help with that and giving better quality to it, since it can be streamed off during gameplay, rather than loaded at the start. Really depends how much work they would want to put into it, though. For example, they might be able to improve streaming with data replication (although that would be moot if they can rely on a HDD - TBA, of course).

Compared to Sony, MS dont have exclusives of the same calibre MGS, DMC, tekken, GTA, FF or GT. Whilst Sony have 6 strong system sellers, Halo is the only exclusive that MS has under its belt with the same elling power and the mentioned sony exclusives.trmas said:

Microsoft has rare, bungie, too human series, gears of war and a few other exclusives. Just because not all of them sell 8 million, doesn't mean they are less worthwhile.
To some of us at least.

It doesn't have anything to do with one being more awesome than the other but its another source for exclusive software. Exclusive software is what sets consoles apart. I can understand certain titles like Madden being on every platform under the sun. But exclusives give new reasons to purchase a console in particular. Exclusives are the only reason that Nintendo is still around. If Mario was out on the PlayStation why by a Nintendo console at all?
I must admit I liked the idea of getting western developed titles on the XBOX while getting the Japanese titles for the PlayStation. Unfortunatly the XBOX isn't taken very seriously in Japan so developers there will rarely put out any title for 360 worth buying. Right now we are just starting to see this trend developing and it isn't pretty. Western developers have no such biases, certainly not to the level of the Japanese, so they will produce quality software for both platforms. The thing is that if you can get many of the best that the west has to offer on the PS3 right along with the best Japanese titles, why get an XBOX at all? No XBOX, no competition, leads to SON¥ domination and a potential Nintendo-in-the-80s like industry. I don't want that because it's bad for gamers. I hope M$ can mount a serious offense against the SON¥ hype train.

I'm sure the Xbox 360 will get its share of exclusives. Per good marketing, I'm shocked that this wasn't one of them. This will be the first big Western RPG for a Sony platform since...I don't even know. It will definitely expand the market for Bethesda's games, but I really thought the million + this game sold was enough.

And people tried telling me that Oblivion on PS3 was impossible because Bethesda doesn't have a PS3 dev kits.
Now 2 of my predictions true and E3 hasn't even started yet.
Ridge Racer and Oblivion

It is funny seeing people who previously expressed no interest in the game feigning enthusiasm in the hopes they can lord it over someone else when the time for comparison screenies and the pissing contests REALLY begin.
edit--oh wait, people already trying to invoke the rage of the 'xbots'. is it november already?
Is it really that strange that people are getting excited about a game they now don't have to buy an extra console to play?

Anyway, I know we have some Bethesda folk on GAF. The silence is deafening

Its also funny to see people think that they will be playing the game. Do you people honestly believe there will be enough PS3's for you? Well, I suppose for us GAF members there will be as we will go out approximately 4 days in advance to camp outside the store. But the majority of people who want to play Oblivion? Already did, or will buy a 360 or will play on PC because PS3 won't be available to them. Unless Sony pulls PS3's out of their ass somehow.

Still, this thread will only reach a fraction of the size that the "RE4 coming to PS2" thread did.

Its a bit like watching Xbots getting exited over the GTA port which had been released a year before...HocusPocus said:So funny seeing folks excited for 6 month old ports
Seriously, what the hell is wrong with some of us getting exited over an Xbox360 game coming to PS3. not all of us can afford to but all three consoles, so its good to see that such aa highly rated game is coming to a console which many of us are buying.
