The PS3 version of Bethesda's epic RPG, Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion will feature graphical tweaks and the new "Knights of the Ninte" quest, an interview has revealed.
Speaking to IGN, executive producer Todd Howard said that the PS3 version of Oblivion will sport improved graphical features, the most notcible of which is apparently the updated graphical shaders: "The best examples are those new shaders we have for how 'near detail' and 'far detail' blend together on the landscape," he said. "You no longer have a harsh line cutting across the two levels - they blend together seamlessly and the distant detail and land looks much nicer."
Speaking about the new quest, Howard said that Knights of the Nine will take 10 to 20 hours to finish, and also commented on Bethesda's plans for PS3 download content, saying it's "something we'd like to support on PS3, but right now that's really in Sony's hands".
Oblvion launches alongside the PS3 early next year. We'll let you know how much better it looks when we get our hands on the first PS3 screens.
