Lurker Joined: 17-April 05 From: The Land of Confusion	-----Waiting4Oblivion Proudly Presents: The E3 Thread----- Ok people. It's time to buckle up. We're living in some pretty interesting times right now and by the looks of it, the end is nowhere near. As most of you already know, Bethesda is showing Oblivion at E3 this year. With all the info pouring out from there and other sources we've decided to gather a bunch of the info right here, on your very own Waiting4Oblivion forums. We will have two places where the info will show up. This thread is one of them. The other one is the Special Features page. Look below for direct link. Waiting4Oblivion Special Features ---Update--- E3 Demo Summary 2nd day at E3 diary 3rd day at E3 diary The goal of this thread is as follows: Anything from previews to reports, Developer statements to possible trailers will be posted here, with links and source locations. Remember to check back for updates. Who knows what tomorrow will bring to us. We'll be starting off with links to some of the first previews of the game, some screenshots that were published recently and of course, an early version of the very anticipated trailer.

Lurker Joined: 17-April 05 From: The Land of Confusion	New interview and report E3 Developer Interview: Beyond Morrowind, on Xbox.com Some interesting quotes from that interview: [quote] Xbox.com: Cyrodiil, the main setting of Oblivion, is a place new to gamers. If it were a place in the real world, how much real estate would we be talking about? Howard: It's about 40 square miles—it's big.[/quote] [quote]Xbox.com: Though the game is single-player only, do you have plans to include Xbox Live™ functionality of any sort in the game? Will there be content downloads or Xbox Live Aware, that sort of thing? Howard: Yes and yes. Xbox Live Aware, and we're going to go crazy with downloads. We had it working for Morrowind with plug-ins on the Xbox, but it never made it in. We hope to really take that far on Xbox 360.[/quote] Elder Scrolls IV Stuns All Onlookers, on RPGgamer.com A few info chunks from the report: [quote]It's not all just pretty colours and incredibly detailed sound, however. While the game will include over fifty hours of recorded voices, consuming half the space required to install the game, the gameplay has received equally extensive attention.[/quote] [quote]Traps and surfaces riddled with arrows aren't the only things that react realistically; Bethesda has created a physics system with astounding complexity, and objects swing, crash, roll, and even grow in believable ways. In fact, the outdoor areas aren't even designed; Bethesda's development crew went to the University of Maryland to study such topics as soil erosion, plant growth, and ecosystem interaction, with the ultimate goal of a forest that generates itself based upon complex rules based upon nature.[/quote]
