Oblivion Storms the UK Charts  by Craig D at 14:20

PCXBox
Hardly a massive surprise considering the amount of fan generated hype surrounding the game, but The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion was top of the PC and Xbox 360 charts as well as top of the all format charts too for last week, a clean sweep. I guess that means it's officially a hit in the UK.

You can check the ELSPA site for confirmation if required.

i have not played a game like this for years,Started playing it today,im very impressed atm,animations are a bit naff, but you soon forget about them and get wrapped up in the plot, im in the VERY early stages of the game, but im going to get very hooked on this game.

I couldn't agree more. I've only been playing for a couple hours but I can't WAIT to pick it up the next time. It's so enthralling and the amount of content is just sick. It's simply amazing.

A quick google found two quotes, sounds like its pretty much the same.

Boomtown - With the game very close to going gold, are you able to tell us what specific differences there will be between the PC and the Xbox 360 versions? And will the 360 still be the ultimate version in terms of graphics?

The systems are identical in terms of content. They use the same art assets, all of the dialog and quests are the same, and the mechanics of the game are the same aside from the obvious control differences. Visually, the differences between the 360 version and a souped-up shader model 3.0 compliant PC should be minor at best, and have more to do with the quality of your display than with anything the game is doing.[/quote]

Elite Bastards: With the Xbox 360's advanced Xenos graphics chip from ATI, are there going to be any graphical differences between Oblivion on the PC compared to MS' new console? What are some of the technologies supported by the Xenos chip Bethesda's pr

i have to say even with my shitty gfx the game is brilliant and i totally dint even notice the animations untill after reading wuddys post here, i mean the game is soo enthralling you simply forget about the minor problems and get stuck in.

i still couldnt get past how ugly the people were and how little animation there faces had though, it was like they hit every branch on the ugly as sin tree.
