New Oblivion trailers on EG TV News • News • Eurogamer.net

News PC Xbox 360

See Elder Scrolls IV in action.

There's not long to go now until Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion arrives on PC and Xbox 360 - but while you're waiting, why not take a look at two new trailers? They're both on Eurogamer TV right now, don't you know.

RPG fans may also like to check out the new Dragon Quest trailer, which is really rather impressive. If you prefer your games with less fairies and elves and more murderous mobsters, we've also got some tips on how to bribe cops courtesy of The Godfather.

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion is out in Europe on March 24th.

Those horses kick ass (no mule related puns intended). Takes me back to memories of Daggerfall.

And that draw distance on the 1 week trailer. Holy shit!

Is there going to be one new trail short a day till US release, do you know EG?

Yay! Looks sweet.

One question though for anyone who can help: Is it possible to switch between first and third person perspectives in this game, or is all the gameplay done from a first person view?

If it's like Morrowind you can switch between 1st and 3rd person views.

Bit annoyed about that smearing, fade-in on the grass. Haven't looked at this video (can't really at work) but if it's the one released yesterday it's got that San Andreas grass-texture shenanigans going on.

Still buying it (don't get me wrong) but that's one of the things I'd really really have liked to have seen consigned to the dustbin of last-gen.

Excellent. Never played Morrowind, and I wasn't so sure about the first person thing, but that's me sold for sure now.

I pre-ordered from www.choicesdirect.com after some good price advice from someone on here.

"the grass blurr in is bad "

Yeah its shit isn't it

Do you perhaps mean, the grass blur is a bit odd and ever so slightly detracts from an otherwise storming vista?

I'm not saying your point isn't valid, just that I doubt its the sort of thing you would really notice when playing. Like in Farcry on PC, if you crack the GFX settings down the grass pop up become very noticeable, until you stop looking for it and then you just see a jungle.

I'm for overall immersion when it comes to graphics. Texture pallette choice is as important as bonkers shaders in that regard. I stop noticing the detail when I am given enough variety to amke me believe I am stood in a real forest, swamp, twon, whatever.

"its going to slay my system"

For the price of a groovy GFX card (and for considerably less than a top end PC upgrade) you could just buy an XB360. The overall graphical quality may (allegedly) be a little less than if your PC was of NASA spec, but frankly who will notice or care.

In hindsight, NASA are probably running P4 systems or something. Big organisations like that never have good PCs or new software

Send me your copy. I'll keep it safe and send you screen shots of me playing it every so often to keep you in touch with the Oblivion experience.

There we go, problem solved.

They love to tease us, and I am loving every minute of this. Hope to see another trailer later tonight and every day until release. I cant wait for amazon to send my Special Ed for the Pc and regular 360 version. Then I will be in rpg bliss

I must admit, coming from someone who had absolute zero interest in Xbox/360, this game really has made me sit up and take notice.

Yeah, I know it'll be out on PC too but 360 is the cheaper (not to mention, more straighforward) option.

Is there some guide for noobs who want to learn more about this game?

No one has that much info on it yet, but the official Elder Scrolls forums are a good place to start.

Wouldn't it be hilarious if the game turned out to be a steaming pile of poop.

Minutes ??? O.o
My teasers only last a few seconds.

So is Oblivians Euro release date on the same day as the US one? I was hoping with the worldwide release that the usual excuse of timing for different regions would be gone(because there shouldn't be many games to catch up on for Europe this time). I hope so anyway because that means you shouldn't be seing great reviews of a game and end up having to wait half a year or more to play it unless you import(probably help sales a bit too).
