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	Update A small preview on Oblivion can now be found on CNN. http://www.cnn.com/2005/TECH/fun.games/05/...ames/index.html Once again, the preview is rather positive. [quote]Role-playing game aficionados undoubtedly will go gaga over Bethesda Softworks' "The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion," an epic played from a first- or third-person perspective.[/quote] A little note though... [quote]and randomly generated scenes such as a forest that will look different every time the level is loaded.[/quote] Now, for some reason I doubt this. My bet is that they were simply mistaken and what they really meant (or should have written) is that the terrain is randomly generated in the construction set when creating the landscape. Not that the environment changes upon every cell-loading.
