Tags: The Elder Scrolls IV: OblivionPete Hines has made a post in the Elder Scrolls forum about the delay of Oblivion. Here's a clip:
In short, the game is coming out in early 2006 because it isn't done yet. We still have things that need to be done before the game is released. So we continue to optimize, test, balance, etc. We've already gone way beyond what we did in any game previously in playtesting and balancing this game. Way beyond. But there is work that needs to be done and so development continues to go on pretty much around the clock. We will not put out a more specific date until we are certain we will be ready then. Like system specs, we aren't fans of putting out info that changes later on and only confuses or annoys our fans.Well, the first part should be fairly obvious to anyone. They're not just delaying the game for shits and giggles.
