What Happened To Oblivion For PSP?
Whatever happened to Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion for Sony PSP? Bethesda is reportedly working on the project one moment, and then cancelling it the next. I can recall reading many times over the summer that the game was on schedule for a holdiay release, and then that it was cancelled outright, and then that Bethesda hasn’t canned the title, but has no new info to release.
So what’s the deal, is it coming out or not? Because I can’t think of many things in the videogame world, that could be more fun that portable Oblivion. Sure the graphics would suffer greatly, and I don’t know how you compress Oblivion’s fairly complicated combat and item system into the PSP’s four face and two shoulder buttons. Which made for the conclusion to cancel the project the obvious decision.
But, on the plus side we have Valhalla Knights 2, Star Ocean: First Departure, and FIFA 2009 to look forward to. Action RPG Star Ocean goodness? Almost some sort of a filler for when/if Oblivion comes to the portable console.
On a side note, at least we have the impending Bungie announcement of Halo 4 coming soon. Although it may not be named Halo 4, it will be Master Chief fueled, gun shooting, warthog driving mayhem.
