The PlayStation 3 version of Oblivion is due for release next month, but the company has no finalized plans for online components. Spokesperson Pete Hines told trade weekly MCV, "We plan to support downloadable content on PS3, but we couldn't tell you how or when it will be out, because it's not clear how we're going to do that yet."
He added, "You cold point to any number of factors for why that is. Although it's impossible to say which is the better between [Xbox Live and PS3 Online], Xbox Live is easier to implement because we've had a much better sense of it at an earlier stage than with PS3."
IGN : How does the new The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered, released in 2025 for Xbox Game Pass, Xbox Series X|S, Windows PC, Steam, and PS5, compare to the original 2006 Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion released on Xbox 360, played via Xbox Series X/S Backwards Compatibility?
With The Elder Scrolls 6 still far into the future fans have been taking matters into their own hands with projects like Skyblivion.
Skyblivion remakes Oblivion in Skyrim's engine, and the huge mod is nearing completion, but the team could use some assistance.
How can he not know which is better Xbox Live or PS3 online? Thats the most stupidist thing I have ever read.
I have spoken to many PS3 owners who have gone online with it and its an annoying setup of having to go through different parts, if you get a message its coming out of your game and going to the interface - downloading content in game is the issue here which Xbox does not suffer from and thats since Xbox 1.
Yes I agree entirely, Pete Hines is just playing favouritsm because he wants to ensure PS3 gamers who are into RPGs buy their game but hyping it up that the PS3 version is superb which it does look better since it is a year old.
Anyways I have played and completed Oblivion and done many if not all side quests and just await the expansion now.
Its a great game I hope PS3 gamers enjoy it as well.
