Oblivion Multiplayer


Although Xbox 360 fans have hankered for a little multi player action in the marvellous Oblivion RPG, despite its huge single player experience, they’ve been sadly let down on this front. Bethesda Softworks, makers of the award winning title explain that the reasoning behind this lack of multi player is simple, they state that "Rather than split our focus between two different types of gameplay, we'd rather focus on one and make it the best single-player experience possible.” Sounds like a fairly smart move, despite it leaving fanboys / fangirls wishing for more.

This is where the modding community comes into things. If you’re playing Oblivion on the PC, as opposed to the Xbox 360, you’ll be thrilled to know that ‘The Ferret’ has done just that. Ferret has released an alpha version that allows two players to check out the world of Cyrodiil together, with even more still in the planning stages. Ferret is working on the next release that will hopefully support up to eight players with various game modes, such as old favourites deathmatch and capture the flag.

That sounds incredible! Too bad we 360 owners of the game are screwed for the 2nd or third time.

How are you screwed by a mod made by some kid in his parent's basement? It should have been pretty obvious a long, long time ago that Bethesda and MS will never release independant mods on the Marketplace. Anyway, the mod does sound awesome, I'll definitely have to give it a try.
