Unheard-of game rips off Oblivion, Thief, Silent Hill and more (The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion)

Jun 12, 2008

Ever heard of Limbo of the Lost? Yeah, neither have we - but apparently, this little point-and-click adventure lifted levels straight out of Bethesda's Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion and several other high profile games (like Diablo, Unreal Tournament 2004, Silent Hill, Pain Killer and even The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind). Check out photographic evidence here and here.

Today, Limbo publisher Tri Synergy has ...

Rumor Control: "Elder Scrolls" MMORPG has not been confirmed. Not yet, anyways (The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion)

Nov 8, 2007

Several news outlets, from Spong to G4 have been reporting that Bethesda has confirmed that the MMO project currently being undertaken by Bethesda Softwork's new development house, ZeniMax Online, is indeed an Elder Scrolls MMO.

However, Bethesda's Peter Hines has yet to formally confirm that the project is set in the Elder Scrolls universe. All he confirmed was that ZeniMax Online exists, and that Bethesda has poured $300 Million into its first project.

So, however likely it would seem when you consider the circumstances (such as Interplay owning the Fallout MMO rights, and the recent purchasing of elderscrollsonline.com), it IS of note to remind everyone that there has yet to be an official confirmation regarding any Elder Scrolls MMO.

Elder Scrolls MMO drawing closer? (The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion)

Nov 5, 2007

Nov 5, 2007 There's more chatter over a possible Elder Scrolls MMO this morning, as crafty internet dwellers have discovered Bethesda's registration of elderscrollsonline.com. The website is currently a dead end and Bethesda's Pete Hines says it's just nabbing URLs to prevent squatters getting there first. Supporting the speculation is Bethesda parent ZeniMax's recent commitment to MMO development. Last week the company said it will be using funds from Providence Equity Partners for "future ...

Stuffing animals in Oblivion... (The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion)

Oct 11, 2007

Oct 11, 2007 You heard it here first - Bethesda will release a brand new add-on for The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion next week called the Fighter's Stronghold. Actually, you did hear it here first, when we interviewed head PR honcho Pete Hines in February this year. But enough blowing our trumpet (parp!). The new and exciting news is that Bethesda will offer Xbox 360 and PC gamers the add-on for nothing! Zilch, nada, zero. So long as you download it quick, that is. Pete Hines has revealed that ...

Last Oblivion DLC Now Dated: Available on Monday (The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion)

Oct 11, 2007

Fighter's Stronghold gives you none other than your very own Castle, complete with a troop of knights to defend it, a secret treasure vault, a wine maker to brew special potions, a combat trainer to spar with, and even a taxidermist to fashion sculptures out of your most impressive kills.

On top of all that is the obvious joy of owning an enormous fantasy property, with sprawling dining halls, wine cellars, barracks, training rooms, even an ancient Dwemer Forge that increases your Armorer skill - much like the Alchemy table in Frostcrag Spire. Beat that, Grand Designs.
