GameStop: Oblivion (PSP) release on April 16...again

This is peculiar. Just a few days after video game retailer GameStop had The Elder Scrolls Travels: Oblivion RPG by Bethesda Softworks for the PSP dated for a September 3 release, the online store once again makes an about-face, placing Oblivion back squarely on April 16.

Confusing? Yeah verily, dear readers, although we're sure the Oblivion fans are relieved with this latest date swap. On the other hand, there is much speculation how this game will perform, given that past reports have stated players will be missing out on the game's famous free-roaming gameplay, and will instead have to contend with 10 levels worth of dungeon-crawling as they combat the Daedric threats heralded by King Tamriel's (aka Captain "Love-Doctor" Picard) untimely death.

It depends on your taste, really - some people would have preferred a more linear approach to the game, while other RPG fans felt Oblivion's meat was more in the side quests and the travelling, as compared to its central (and disagreeably short) plot. Of course, the GameStop release date is still open to change, with other gaming sites still listing Oblivion as a "Spring 2007" release and Bethesda's home site keeping mum. Just stay sharp for further news on a release date.

some people don't have an x360, PS3, or a monster computer to run it, but may have a psp. I am personally interested in how this game will turn out and I possibly may buy it if it is good enough.

# My opinionGuest 2007-03-11 10:05
Well, first I wanto to start by saying that Oblivion for the pc is one of the top 5 games ever made. Yet, no free roaming? No cities? No side quests? No aelyd dungeons? I doubt this will even get a 5/10...

thought it was vaporware...



First PSP multi-umd game ? XD



Why the hell can't game editors understand that PSP != PC portable ?! Damn, next we'll get the warcraft series and WOW on psp...

I want colourfull & cute games for my psp, REAL games MENT TO BE PLAYED ON A PORTABLE, not another cheap PC/home console adaptation.



I'm sick of it.

# It is a different game, silly.Guest 2007-03-11 12:07
This game isn't really Oblivion, it does indeed has it's similarities, but this version focuses on dungeons, and shouldn't be left out of your lil' brain. Also, handy-dandy for me as this game gets released on my Birthday.

You're a failure as a human being, RPG games are the best games there are, but this however will be yet another dungeon crawler.. I'm deeply dissapointed to you Bethesda, I expected more from you.

You're disgusting, go play your oh-so-cute Loco Roco all by yourself and have fun. Also why would this be multi-umd game? Like said, it'll be a short dungeon crawling game, won't need that much space just for that.

Bethesda why don't you make a port of morrowind, a complete port, it would surely fit on a umd and the grafic would be even better than the pc version.

Morrowind pushed the Xbox to its limits; I don't think a PSP port will happen anytime soon.

Those screens look awsome amin. Although no free roming is a big loss, we should just wait and see if its good.
