IGN's review of Oblivion


8.5 Presentation
A great collection of connected and unrelated storylines build one of the most fully-realized worlds around. The zippy load times are welcome but the abundant bugs are irksome.
9.0 Graphics
The framerate catches and there's pop-in, but the texture work is outstanding and the level of detail is top notch. Good animation and lighting effects too.
9.0 Sound
A professional vocal cast does their job well even if they are hampered by audio bugs and the sound effects are highly effective. The soundtrack is immensely enjoyable.
9.0 Gameplay
Plenty of customization and a strong action-based combat engine are what the PS3's first triple-A RPG is all about. The open-ended design goes a long way.
9.5 Lasting Appeal
Chances are slim that you'd ever be able to do everything with one character. With all the sidequests and possible character paths, you're looking at more than 100+ hours easy.
9.2 OVERALL
The review also mentions that the load times are twice as fast as the 360's.

Quick question. Is it possible to DL saves from PS2 games and put them on the PS3?

Noonan 03-27-07 07:55 AM

Yes but you need an adapter to do it. It uses the USB controller charger cable to connect. You'll be able to put saves from a PS2/PS1 memory card onto the PS3.

Yes, with the $15 adaptor. However, its a one way path. You can't put the saves back on a PS2 memory card. This sucks big time.

PixyJunket 03-27-07 08:09 AM

And yet there are several different memory stick ports for photo viewing. -rolleyes- -ohbfrank-

Noonan 03-27-07 08:54 AM

They better release a patch that'll let you take a PS2 save off the HD and put it back onto a memory card. I was really pissed when I saw you couldn't do that.

KurrptSenate 03-27-07 09:27 AM

Motorstorm?

All depends on what type of games you like. Overall my pick would be Oblivion.

KurrptSenate 03-27-07 09:35 AM

that would be a no brainer, if the 360 version wasn't already played to death

I hated Motorstorm. I thought the game was repetitive and boring. The sense of speed was lacking in some vehicles. Load times are HORRIBLE, and that is not acceptable with Next-Gen games.

I still like Resistance...but I'm a big FPS fan.

Well you never specified exclusive titles. Asking what the best game is on a system is a very broad question.

KurrptSenate 03-27-07 09:52 AM

well, i wasn't trying to say you were wrong, if thats what you mean


yea, got resistance already though. Not too bad at all

Yeah, if you're going for non-exclusives, I thought for sure you'd go for Armored Core... :)

KurrptSenate 03-27-07 10:35 AM

wound up getting it on the 360 instead, due to the increased user base on that system


but yea, absolutely magnifiscent game. I can't think of one that has impressed me this much in the past 3 years, at least

XavierMike 03-27-07 12:14 PM

VF% is amazing. The best fighting game I have ever played. It will take years to unlock everything.

KurrptSenate 03-27-07 12:40 PM

i seem to be leaning towards that game at the moment. thanks

fujishig 03-27-07 03:28 PM

Why not just wait for the 360 version? Won't it have extra stuff?

KurrptSenate 03-27-07 03:36 PM

maybe, but if I have to wait 4-6 months, fuk that

Nice article from one of the guys at Insomniac.

Not to thread crap, but that article is completely biased.

"First of all, let me make it clear that Insomniac is a 100% independent development studio"


From Insomniac's Website:

"All of Insomniac Games’ titles have been developed exclusively for PS one, the PlayStation 2, and the PlayStation 3"

Looks like they have all their eggs in one basket, of course he is only going to talk-up the PS3.

"PS3 Has a Major CPU Advantage" -rolleyes-

That article is dead on about the wii. Even microsoft got it right when they said “We think that as soon as the Wii customer turns 14 they'll want something else.”

Supermallet 03-28-07 03:24 AM

Tell that to all of the people over 30 clamoring to get a Wii for themselves.

I was one of those people and ever since the second week my Wii is a doorstop. Probably the worst lineup of games I can remember on a console this early in its life. Nintendo has for once stepped aside a bit and let third parties carry the console and by and large those third parties have delivered some terrible software that has exposed the Wii remote as a gimmick instead of an innovation.

The scary thing is the fact that EA of all companies has been the only one to show some signs of figuring out the Wii, however, most of its games are ports and it could be argued that the PS2 versions of their games are still the superior ones either in graphics, control or both.

People can bash the PS3 for being overpriced, but thanks to the Blu-ray drive and HD ability my PS3 has been used daily even if its mostly being used for movies, music and PS1-2 games. I will at least say there are several PS3 titles I want when they drop in price. There is currently nothing I want on the Wii other than Paper Mario when it is released.
I've probably put 200 hours of use on my PS3 compared to 30 hours on the Wii I bought a month earlier. The Wii is going to be destined as the system I pull out every 3-4 months to play the big Nintendo 1st party exclusive.

Unfortunately, I'm going to have to agree with Darkside for the most part. The games have been hugely disappointing, and the control just isn't precise enough for what they were trying to accomplish.

I'm not going to call it a gimmick, because the DS suffered in the same way. I'm just hoping people can figure out how to utilize the controls to add to gameplay, instead of recreating it.

JimmySRU 03-28-07 10:21 AM

i havent played my wiii in three weeks been playing alot of PS3 tho
