E3: New Skyrim Screens and Oblivion Anniversary Update

[mattaui]

Not sure why you'd want to buy the special edition sans the DLC unless you really just wanted that Steelcase (and you know, as a person who buys a lot of CEs, I can understand that), since Steam invariably puts the full meal deal on sale a few times a year.

I'd say if you've not played Oblivion it's worth checking out. I don't think it's going to tie in a lot with Skyrim (Daggerfall didn't have much to do with Morrowind which didn't have much to do with Oblivion), but it'll give you a taste of the sort of wide open world Bethesda likes to make.

It certainly does look cool but I?m just worried about the stability.... And there are so many different reasons to be worried; from the new engine to the fact that it?s their first title to not be developed primarily for the pc.
If it?s not a complete mess, I?ll buy it.

Yeah, I'm not going to be getting the Oblivion 5th Anniversary Edition. I already have the Game of the Year edition for 360, so I'm not going to spend more money on a coloured map and some daedric runes.
The coupon for Skyrim sounds good though, but... *shrugs* I can't be bothered.

Also: Skyrims sounds really good so far. I'll definitely be pre-ordering it during the summer vacation!

Wait a second guys...Bethesda's website says the release date for Oblivion 5th anniversary is July 12 not June 12. Amazon hasn't changed their release date yet.

It looks like Amazon's updated their release date now. It's July 12, which is later than originally expected, unfortunately. I've never played Oblivion before, so I'm really excited about this deal. Looks like I'll have to find some other games to occupy my time for the next month, though.
