The “Greek Retro Maniax” Oblivion Thread

[Omenforever]

Το σκηνικό αρχίζει να ξεκαθαρίζει κάπως. Απ’ ότι φαίνεται το συμπληρωματικό θα λαμβάνει χώρα στη διάσταση των Daedra. Το οποίο για ’μένα σημαίνει ότι θα υπάρξει σίγουρα και δεύτερο συμπληρωματικό που θα προσθέτει νέες περιοχές εντός Tamriel.

Για να δούμε… :animquestion:

"Oblivion - Shivering Isles" - Nuttier than a medieval Fruitcake.
Expansions are always difficult for a developer, as giving the same is boring, and departing from the established too much alienates fans.

In an attempt to avoid this conundrum, the expansion for the popular Elder Scrolls IV will add a unique twist to the established formula - it changes little gameplay wise, but adds a whole lot of totally new and unique content.

Rather than expand into another province of Tamriel, Bethesda dipped into the lore and decided to transport players to the 'Shivering Isles' known also as 'The realm of Madness', the daedric realm ruled by the prince Sheogorath. (Just on a side note, if anyone has the played the Sheogorath Shrine Quests, they should set the tone for the expansion - twisted and at times sadistic humor).

The god Juggalef is preparing his 'once-in-an-eon' Greymarch - a cleansing of the land and everyone within, including, by extension, Sheogorath himself. With this premise you are allowed entry to the shivering isles, a place where everything is a bit off - including the plants, landscapes, creatures and NPCs.

The strangeness of the Shivering isles creates a lot of humor - "Not only are a lot of the NPCs downright hilarious, thanks to the insanity that permeates the land, but the humor also lends something of a clasic LucasArts adventure game bent to the Quests you'll embark upon. You'll laugh more in 10 hours with Shivering isles than you did with 100 hours with the parent game".

One quest has you deciding the fate of a group of adventurers who have strayed into a dungeon in search of great riches. You, along with one of Sheogoraths minions get to decide the fate of said adventurers, as Sheogorath has already decided that they are to die. You can kill them outright, or use traps and illusions within the dungeons to drive them insane (ie the adventurers see a locked cage filled with unimaginable riches - you can opt to electrify the cage, killing anyone who touches it, walk in and kill them yourself, or drop thousands of key in the room, driving them insane as they search for the real one).

You will be able to move between cyrodiil and the Shivering Isles at will, and the expansion will be suitable for all level ranges (I guess this means leveled content), with the entrance to the isles located on an island in Niben bay, near Bravil. Ill close with this quote - "If you're still pursing your lips at the thought of playing Oblivion in a land filled with a pink night sky and trees that look lifted from an acid junkies sketchbook, ask yourself if you really wanted more of the same".

bulls eye!

Since they had to redo the renderer for PS3, a coder found a way to use shaders to make the background look a lot better. And since the 360 has a unified shader architecture, it gets the fix for free.
Bad news for PS3 fans is because of the memory they physically aren't able to load all the DLC on the game, and there isn't a solution yet. So they may have to pick and choose because adding all of it causes a performance hit.

The new expansion looks awesome.

Ποιος ειχε πει οτι στο PS3 θα ειναι καλυτερο??

Tωρα αρχιζουν να φαινονται τα αποτελεσματα της 256+256 κατατμηση της μνημης του PS3.

Aν ηταν σηριαλ θα το λεγαμε "Στριμωκτειτε παρακαλω" (σιγουρα υπαρχει ορθογραφικο εδω...)

 

[Wally]

και για να συνεχισω στο γιατι η χειροτερη εκδοση του Oblivion θα ειναι στο PS3 παρτε remarks απο 1up

The 1up rep discussed what Bethesda told him about the limitations of PS3's lack of memory"There's no horse armor, etc... It's a technical limitation. They just don't


have enough memory to load every peice of downloadable content. They tried

it, did some work arounds, but the performance isn't there. They hope to

have some, but they're going to have to pick and choose [unlike the 360

version, which has tons of downloadable content, all of which can be used in

the game]".

Μιας και που αρχισα να αδειαζω τη φιαλη του δηλητηριου,ας το αποτελειωσω

F.E.A.R

All of the effects from the PC and Xbox 360 releases are here, like blurring when you enter slow-mo, particle

effects aplenty, chips in the scenery from bullet holes and such, but it

just doesn't look very sharp. To put it simply, the whole game is quite

blurry. We're not just talking texture detail, which is indeed not very


good, but the video looks like it's been rendered at a low resolution and


then upscaled to HD. The framerate mostly holds steady, though there are a

few blips or loading pauses here and there, but the main problem really is a

lack of sharpness.

Πάντως εγώ ακόμα παίζω το Morrowind.

Πλακα πλακα το Morrowind σπερνει.Μπορει να μην εχει τα γραφικα του Oblivion αλλα τουλαχιστον τα quests δεν ειναι πανευκολα και οι ολοι οι εχθροι δεν φορανε Obsidian Armor επειδη τολμησες να ανεβεις μερικα level.

Για μενα Morrowind>Oblivion.

 

[Omenforever]

Το Morrowind σπέρνει τρελά

Βέβαια, η λογική λέει Oblivion αλλά μιλώντας συναισθηματικά… Daggerfall > all(ναι, και με τα bugs του μαζί)

Παιδιά τι mods προτείνετε για το Oblivion? Κατεβάζω τώρα το Oscuro's Oblivion Overhaul, θα κατεβάσω και το Natural Oblivion, θέλω ένα που αλλάζει το interface, και κάποια textures, για τον ορίζοντα. Τί προτείνετε?
