Oblivion Patch/Content Plans [Apr 07, 2006, 08:54 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
The
Update on Patches-Updates-Content-Etc. on The Elder Scrolls Forums (thanks
Voodoo Extreme) has
word on plans for an upcoming patch for Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion to address a
number of reported issues. The patch will appear in beta form for the PC first,
and when finalized will also be made available for the Xbox 360 edition, and
following all that they will be releasing a patch for the European editions of
the game to address localization issues. The post goes on to describe the next
couple of bits of content they will be offering for sale, the quest to repair
the Imperial Orrery and a structure called the Wizard's Tower. The update
concludes by justifying the high price of add-on content, but admits they are
experimenting in finding a price point that reduces sticker shock:
We hope to have The Orrery available for purchase next week. This plugin will cost 150pts on Xbox, and $1.89 on the PC. The Horse Armor Pack has been very popular, and exceeded what we thought it would sell. Despite that, we’re still trying to find the right spot, so we’re putting a much larger plugin out for less than the last one and we'll see what happens. Your feedback as we move forward in this is invaluable. Tell us what you want to see, how much of it, and what it might be worth to you. No, don’t say you want it free, because these plugins take a surprising amount of time to create, polish, and test (much more then Morrowind's).
I agree with you that their probably is a large untapped demand for co-op games.
However i fail to see how going to this content method will help. Why bother to make massive changes to the way the game is designed, coded, compiled etc and then to release it to a lot of uncertainty when they could just throw together another horse patch knowing that they will make a good chunk of change from it.
More over if you look at the community to see what they have released first in helping to decide what sort of content you should release the sort of stuff they have lined up is what will work, hardly anyone makes a co-op mod and there are very few successfull ones out there.
Having said all that, I want Oblivion a mod to come out for oblivion to make it co-op.
Its not that im against co-op,i just dont believe that the dev's will attempt anything potentially risky.
