The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Vampire FAQ - PC and Xbox 360

I posted this on About.com, but figured allot of Oblivion gamers at XBS might find some value in it as well…

Most gamers who play The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion know how large and vast the game play can be. They also know some of the little surprises hidden within the game. It wasn’t until recently that I discovered an affliction, my character was gaining new powers, he was being killed by the sunlight — he was becoming a Vampire!

Sony: Developers porting games down to Xbox 360 from PS3 to look better
Sony’s Scott Steinberg has commented that developers are now waking up to the idea of creating their games on the PS3 primarily first, then porting them down to the Xbox 360 as the game will look better this way. He also indicated that the Xbox 360 has failed to go beyond its core audience of FPS fans, just like the original Xbox.

Here he is on PS3’s alleged technical superiority to Xbox 360. “Third parties have started to move from the de facto 360 SDK. Of course people designed their next-gen games on it because that was the only one there. The PS3 shipped and so they said, ‘let’s port our 360 games to the PS3.’ But now companies are recognizing that ‘hey, if I start on the PS3 and then port down to the 360, my 360 game is going to look better than if I had just designed it for the 360.’ So the pendulum is swinging. The heads of development thinking ‘what’s going to show off my next-gen game that much better?’ It is to lead with the PS3 and then to port to the 360.”

“Well no, but we do look at how closely 360 is indexed off of Xbox and for the good chunk of 2007 it was fairly close to where Xbox was year to year.

Wii Clip attempts to make Wii modding a plug and play job
A new product called the Wii Clip aims to make modding Wii-D2A and D2C consoles something of a 2 minute plug and play job. The Clip has one major advantage of not ruining the motherboard but there is still some handy work required and there is absolutely no guarantee of how effective this method is or will be.

Sony gives gamers community websites
Sony were apparently talking quite a lot about community websites at Sony’s ‘Pre-E3 Judge’s Event in LA’ and it seems many PS3 games will be getting Bungie.net style community sites. Those confirmed to be getting community sites include Motorstorm: Pacific Rim, Resistance 2 and SOCOM: Confrontation. Killzone 2 already has a site for Killzone: Liberation but will add “rankings and statistics” for Killzone 2. Also, LittleBigPlanet should be getting some kind of community site but Sony have not decided on how to integrate the game with such a site.

• LittleBigPlanet – While they’re “not decided yet” on exactly how to integrate the game into a community website, if any mechanic seems ripe for such a project, rankings and stats for LBP’s user-generated content seem like a sure bet.
• Killzone 2 – There already is a my.killzone.com site for Killzone: Liberation, but adding “rankings and statistics” for Killzone 2 is the plan.
• SOCOM: Confrontation – They plan on launching a community site – think “My SOCOM” – on SOCOM.com. There’s nothing there now, and MySOCOM.com is taken.
• Motorstorm: Pacific Rim – The Motorstorm representative wasn’t very interested in providing any details, but she told us that they would have a “community website” as well.
• Resistance 2 – Insomniac has perhaps the most ambitious plans for community content, dedicating an entire development team to the task. They’re “overhauling” MyResistance.net, adding things along the lines of “facebook-like features.”
