    For you video gamers out there....

    Bethesda Softworks and 2K Games Announce The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion to Ship March 20

    We went GOLD and the game is done and on it's way to print. It's been a long 4 years and it's another knotch in the belt.

    I did many of the creature models and animations.

    I would love to offer copies to everyone here, alas, I dont even get a copy until it ships. This is our biggest, most anticipated game to date and pre-orders are going through the roof all around the world. I could give you rough pre-sales numbers, but then I would have to kill you.

    Could be a shortage when it comes out, much like the 360. I hope so anyways.

    I can't remember where I heard or read it but this is supposed to be one of the most highly anticipated games in a while. Congratulations! Though I have to admit I have no idea what kind of game it is...guess I'll just have to wait until I can download it through a torrent site...just kidding. I wish I had the time to play games. Anyway, good luck with it all!

    Congrats!

    I am sure being GOLD is such a relief, and your schedule can get back to normal. For me, I've been waiting to get a 360, and Oblivion was one of the reasons for the wait. Now I just gotta find a 360 somewhere.

    Are all versions shipping on the 20th or just the 360 version? I've been getting bored with WOW lately and might pick this one up. Grats bro.

    Cool Just spent all my Ebay profits on BLACK....

    Can I get y'all to buy more of my spare parts so that I can get a copy of GT's new game? With all these cool games breaking out all at once my wallet can't keep up

    360 and PC are shipping "same time". That was one reason for the slight delay as we wanted both tested thoroughly so they could ship simultaneously.

    Now.... to find a nice little place to take a vacation. I am thinking sleeping in my bed for a full week and keeping money in my pocket is a GREAT idea!

    My friend who does the facial animation systems is gearing up for GDC. He's apparently giving a presentation out there on his software.

    He used to work for a game company and the weeks leading up to the release date were always 52+ hour shifts he said. Meaning he'd work for 52 hours straight before he slept. And when he woke up, he was already in his office so he could pickup where he left off 4 hours prior.

    Insane.

    honestly his new setup is awesome. He still works a lot more than I do, but not marathon sessions. Since he's "his own boss" he doesn't have to promise any outlandish timelines to any publisher and try to live up to them. And his technology is just really damn cool. Realtime voice input to any 3d facial structure lipsynching and expressions.

    Correct me if I'm wrong but the Elder Scrolls games are single player (non MMORPG) Role play games.

    They are about as close as you can get to a true RPG on a computer as you can get, where character development is more important than picking up the next cool magic item.
