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. news Nov 8, 2007 http://www.gamesradar.com/pc/the-elder-scrolls-iv-oblivion/news/elder-scrolls-mmo-drawing-closer/a-200711051401776020/g-20060112163636538018 Domain registration and MMO investment sparks chatter, but Bethesda says nothing news Nov 5, 2007 http://www.n4g.com/pc/News-79549.aspx While doing a little domain crawling, Voodoo Extreme noticed that ZeniMax Media, the parent company of Bethesda Softworks, recently purchased ElderScrollsOnline.com.

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. news Oct 11, 2007 http://www.n4g.com/pc/News-73568.aspx Bethesda Softworks sent over a note announced they will release their last downloadable content extra for 2006's fantasy RPG The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. The download, titled Fighter's Stronghold, will launch on Oct. 15 for both the PC and Xbox 360 versions and for the first week will be free to download. On the Bethsoft blog site, PR head Pete Hines talks about the possible way they will bring the downloadable content to the PS3 version: Since we're talking about DLC, I thought I'd update you with what's going on with the PS3 version of Oblivion. We are close, very close to working something out to bring Shivering Isles to PS3 owners. That may be in downloadable form via PSN, or as a standalone retail disc, or both. I can't say definitively yet that it will happen, and I definitely can't say when. But it's looking good, and hopefully we'll have good news soon. news Oct 10, 2007 http://www.n4g.com/pc/News-71964.aspx Celebrating the recent Japanese release of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion on the PS3 and Xbox 360, Bethesda has been speaking to the Japanese press about the development and localisation process behind the massive-world RPG news Oct 3, 2007 http://www.n4g.com/pc/News-69475.aspx It has been over seven months since Firing Squad last took a look at Windows Vista performance versus Windows XP. In that series of articles, Firing Squad found that both AMD and NVIDIA's Vista performance was lacking in comparison to Windows XP, although NVIDIA's showing in Vista was much worse: Vista performance was in some cases substantially slower than Windows XP, features were missing, and SLI was unsupported entirely. Meanwhile, AMD's biggest problem was the OpenGL portion of their Vista driver, OpenGL-based games like Quake 4 scaled poorly in performance in comparison to WinXP and Firing Squad encountered numerous visual artifacts. CrossFire support was also limited. As you can imagine, in the span of the past seven months quite a bit has changed on the Vista driver front and Firing Squad received quite a few emails asking to revisit the topic. news Sep 22, 2007 http://www.gamesradar.com/pc/the-elder-scrolls-iv-oblivion/news/oblivion-game-of-the-year-edition-announced/a-20070709133733330033/g-20060112163636538018 Shivering Isles and Knights of the Nine in one big box of RPG love, out September news Jul 9, 2007 http://www.n4g.com/pc/News-39519.aspx The friendly people over at Bethesda Softworks and Ubisoft have given us three large Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion T-Shirts to giveaway in a competition...
