The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion expansion packs and the upcoming Grand Theft Auto IV upcoming add-ons represent the industry's most expansive departures from a game's original content. The catch: that content must remain consistent with the original rating branded by the ESRB. New content cannot introduce elements that would alter the original rating, or the overall rating must change. ESRB president Patricia Vance explained what this meant for content makers at a MI6 Conference panel on marketing and user generated content last week. news Apr 17, 2008 http://www.n4g.com/ps3/News-101424.aspx A group of 12 editorial staff from Enterbrain (the folks that put out Famitsu in all it's various iterations) sat down and voted on the game they felt was the best title of the year in Japan without regard for sales figures, fame of the franchise, etc. Only one vote per person, game with the most votes wins.

According to Bethesda, the expansion will be available on PSN as of November 29, although it's not yet confirmed how much it'll cost. It also appears that initially the download will only be available in North American, where Shivering Isles has just shipped on disc. The expansion features 30-plus hours of new adventuring, new quests, monsters and expanded freeform gameplay. Presumably Shivering Isles hitting PSN will pave the way for further DLC for Oblivion on PS3. news Nov 21, 2007 http://www.gamesradar.com/ps3/the-elder-scrolls-iv-oblivion/news/elder-scrolls-mmo-drawing-closer/a-200711051401776020/g-20060726163237511007 Domain registration and MMO investment sparks chatter, but Bethesda says nothing news Nov 5, 2007 http://www.n4g.com/ps3/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.

Although they did specify the window of release (anywhere between today and December 31), they weren't keen on revealing when exactly it would come out in 2007. As to anything regarding unique content, downloadable content, or how the expansion pack will be distributed, they were mum about it. Now while inthezone, a member of the NeoGAF Forums, was happy to share the email reply with other RPG fans on the PS3, the news did spark concern regarding Sony's superior line up of title releases this fall. Many of the titles are big and very highly anticipated and fans of the game fear that the expansion pack would probably be forgotten by then. Will Bethesda get another repeat of angry mobs at the gates? Unless they do share their information soon, just as the promise in the email, they just might. Here's to hoping they reveal more soon, folks! news Jun 7, 2007 http://www.n4g.com/ps3/News-39780.aspx Has The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion done enough to hold onto the number one position? news May 15, 2007 http://www.n4g.com/ps3/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...
