PS3 interview: Knights of the Nine not an exclusive

October 11, 2006

Today IGN posted an interview with Todd Howard, Executive Producer of Oblivion.

When asked if the Knights of the Nine questline would be made available for PC and Xbox 360 players at some point he replied, "We always aim to have all our content available across all platforms, so that is our goal." This confirms that PS3Land's story was indeed fabricated.

Howard also stated that the PS3 version will have no new content other than that relating to the Knights of the Nine questline. The current official plug-ins will not come packaged with the game. He also expressed his uncertainty about PS3 ever getting them due to Sony's non-unified content distribution service: "How Sony will handle this is still a little fuzzy to us ... it is our intention to make that content available for PS3". He agreed that a content disc was another possibility for supplying downloadable content.

He also explained some further details about the new content. In Oblivion, your current level determines how powerful the items you find will be, and that is then permanent; the new blacksmith is able to repair and upgrade your Crusader armor to match your current level.

There will be no Collector's Edition, nor will the game support the tilt functionality of the SIXAXIS controller. The PS3 hard drive will apparently be use to the same extent as the 360's, rather than relying on it heavily.
