TES 4 Oblivion

[Psychoman]

Is anyone else excited about this game? I know I am! The game looks sooooooo good and sooooo fun i want it now but its not comin out till next year. its sux but worth the wait.

I have learned it takes place in the Imperial City (capitol of Ccyrodill) and that the gates of Oblivion (hell) are opened because the emporer died. and you can ride horses (awsome) and own property(awsome) and lots of neat knight-ish armor (iffy) i hope that they dont loose the Roman Empiral look to the amor that the empire proviedes its Soldiers. and mabey you can BE the emporer of the Ccyrodilic Empire! that would be the shiznet!(cool)

I know this post is a couple months old but it was the only Oblivion post I could find. Better to bring this back than make a new post.


Anyway I was at the Oblivion site and I was reading one of the dev journals and came across an interesting comment.

Some of the cooler effects are only possible because of our graphics engine, which makes heavy use of pixel and vertex shaders to achieve some very images. The Chameleon spell, for instance, uses our awesome refraction special effect to render targets nearly invisible, like a block of clear walking ice or a cloaked Predator. I didn’t work on this one personally, so I feel comfortable bragging that its one of the coolest effects of its kind that I’ve seen – Oblivion is definitely the first Elder Scrolls game that has been able to do Chameleon justice.

There's a Predator mod for Morrowind, so I could definitely see one coming out for Oblivion.

Just thought you guys might be interested in that bit.

Here's the link to the original page I saw it at.
