Bethesda Softworks says it has no plans to do PSP and PS3 versions of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, despite what some-bloke-on-a-forum said. (Yep.) "At present we have no announced plans to bring Oblivion to any platforms other than PC or Xbox 360," is the official line issued yesterday.

=======================================

I was wondering about that.. There is no way the PSP could handle Oblivion.

Well the news is out, it's offical there WILL be a version out for the PSP and the PS3. THe PS3 version will be a port of the 360 version, and the PSP version will be more like the Cell-phone version.

PS3 backwards compatibility to be handled via software emulation. Good luck

PS3 backwards compatibility to be handled via software emulation. Good luck
It looks like the PS3 will be using software to emulate the PS2 on the PS3, instead of the hardware solution used to emulate PS1 games on the PS2. The PS2 actually included PS1 hardware: This was a large selling point at launch when gamers could play all of their PS1 games.

Sounds like Sony is going to do what Microsoft has done for the 360. Does this mean the PS3 will have the same BC problems as the 360? and more patching via their 'live' system? More and more the PS3 sounds like an Xbox360.. Sony seems to be ripping more of their ideas from Microsoft.
[11/24/06 Update] Yep, sure enough. The PS3 can't play about 200 odd games, and third party controls (Read Guitar Hero) won't work either.. Smooth move Sony.
