Topic: Oblivion on PSP, not Wii

[ryancoke]

I read yesterday that Bethesda is making Oblivion for PSP but they say that Wii is too underpowered for it.  That's completely ridiculous considerring the PSP is roughly as powerful as a PS2 and the Wii is obviously much more powerful.  Oblivion on PSP is a completely different game from the original but if it's good why not port and upgrade it to the Wii?

I love what RMC posted about it:
"Well at least we find out that the PSP version is a completely new game. Bethesda, let me point something out to you. The Wiimote…perfect for sword fighting, archery, casting spells, mallet swinging, and more. I think I recall a tiny bit of those aspects in Oblivion."

Someone's VERY deep in Sony's pocket...

oops! sorry dude, I must have missed it. I did a search in the NWR forum for "Oblivion" and "Bethesda" before I posted mine so I thought nobody made mention of this.

at the same time the guys at Kotaku compare the psp and Wii versions of Alien Syndrome, sure the Wii version will have better control but c'mon it is very lazy when a PSP game and Wii counterpart look identical or worse.

If it helps, Alien Syndrome looks like a first generation Dreamcast game on PSP to begin with~ Best developers in the world.

It's a completetly different game based in the same universe made specifically for the psp.
There is no way the psp could handle a port of Oblivion as it stands on 360, PC or PS3.
I love my Wii but there is no way the Wii could handle a straight port of it either.

Could it handle a port of the PSP Oblivion? ... I'd buy it.

The Wii could play the psp version easily.
But I've got a feeling it will suck the big one.
I love Oblivion, and the thought of it getting all watered down to fit the handheld thing does not sit well at all.

I'd recommend the  classic range priced 360 version, they just released a shader patch over live to give it the shader improvements the ps3 got from extra development time and The Shivering Isles expansion is released next week to add around another 30 hours of gameplay and hundreds of pieces or armour and weapons.

Best value game of the current gen IMO.
