Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion was one of the first games that I played on the Xbox 360, way back in 2006 and it’s no secret that like many other gamers around, I too fall for it. The game gave the player an amazing world to live in, excellent gameplay mechanics and some interesting NPC’s to deal with.
Five years have since passed on, and obviously technology has grown too and last year Bethesda finally gave heed to fan’s demands of a sequel. So Skyrim was announced and much to our delight it already is looking wonderful.
We decided to do a comparison of Oblivion with Skyrim to see how things have progressed. In this feature we have compared character models, environments, a beautiful river and first person view.
Do check them out and let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

Apparently, Japanese magazine Famitsu listed several companies who plan to “surprise their audiences with new titles.” What has given rise to the speculation of a new Elder Scrolls game is Bethesda surprise project being listed as secret, which means it can’t be any of their games which are known to be in development, meaning it could very possibly be the next Elder Scrolls game.

Would V be as epic as IV was, given that it releases?

If it is, then it leads rise to some very interesting questions- what platforms will it appear on? Will it support peripherals such as Natal and Move? When is it due for release?

No matter what the answers to those questions might be, I think it is safe to assume that Bethesda would steal the show if this announcement came to pass.

Or… maybe the long ago announced PSP Elder Scrolls game could finally be making its comeback to public consciousness?
