Few, if any role-playing games released over the last year have received as much attention as Oblivion, the fourth installment to be released by publisher/developer Bethesda as part of the company's long-running The Elder Scrolls franchise. Released in March 2006 for Xbox 360 and Windows, Oblivion sold more than three million copies in 2006, while versions of the game have also been announced for the PlayStation 3 and even the PSP handheld.
Earlier this month, Bethesda announced The Elder Scrolls IV: Shivering Isles an official expansion to Oblivion to debut both for PC and for Xbox 360 this Spring, and Gamasutra spoke with Bethesda's vice president of PR and marketing Pete Hines on the add-on and other major topics.
In a recent interview, Todd Howard revealed that he has no plans to retire and reiterated Bethesda's openness to help from other studios.
Oh great, now we have to deal with Anasts Bethesda fetish indefinitely.
Thanks a lot, Todd
"with no plans to retire anytime soon" I mean this is like a common news topic involving his name. Knock it off and do some actual newsing. This is like the biggest "No Duh" article of the day, and several sites had to regurgitate it. Geez. So lame.

This is when he'll retire.
Discover the impact of the recent Fallout show on Amazon Prime and the white-hot popularity of the Fallout franchise. Will there be a Fallout 5 anytime soon? How about any new Fallout? Its a good problem to have.
I’m going to get back into Fallout 4 since I haven’t finished it yet. The recent update will likely give me more of an incentive to get to it sooner rather than later.
Where is the problem part again?
There is a show
There is 76 that is perfect for non-standard fallout players and perfect for Bethesda to coin up on.
There is a Fallout Shelter
There is Fallout 4 updated for current gen (that went free for subscription services in most cases).
Also there is a whole new audience that has never seen or played fallout before. Seems like they have PLENTY to dig into, before they worry about FO5.
They are beyond trending and are banking with willing investors atm, and you are calling it a problem. Mkay. Sounds more like you are just chapped that FO5 is not point of discussion. No worries, it is coming, just gonna take a bit. Just be glad MS and Bethesda ironed out their multi-platform woes, THAT was a problem, the rest is cake.
Just because they're old doesn't mean they aren't worth revisiting.
The three first "Fallout" games are still pure RPG gold in the current year imo.
I agree I played the original 3 a few years ago and they are fun. I feel this needs to be said though. Console players don't have access to these games and that's a shame. However, If you have any sort of windows laptop you can play them they are really old now a basic office pc can play it.
I also want to say is Fallout Brotherhood Of Steel on the PS2 the first console Fallout game. It gets hate for no reason. I enjoyed them more than the originals. I believe it's on Xbox as well. Anyone with access to a PS2 or Xbox or emulated them on pc. It's a fun game to play. Don't get why it was hated on.
Hate turned based worlds. Tried playing 1 10years ago and couldnt figure out howto get past 30 feet.
Although I have to say they should have stayed away from StarTrek. There aren't many people out there who are big enough fanatics to buy it. I know it didn't interest me at all. The StarTrek universe has been overdone in my opinion. There isn't much left to it, and to be quite honest, I think StarTrek is dead.
better release a larger capacity HDD if Live is the only way too purchase the content. Come-on Microsoft let Bethesda release a retail version, dumbasses!
Yep the expansion pack is download only. They'll in trouble when the next expansion comes on top of this one.
The Halo 2 Map pack was a disk that only worked with conjuction with a previously purchased game - Halo 2. In other words, you had to own Halo 2 to use the Map pack. Why can't the same be done with Shivering Isles?
I am a Gold Live Member, so it doesn't affect me, but it seems they are losing out on some potential sales. the simple solution would be for it to be a few more dollars for the retail disk version to cover the expense of the actual disk,case, shipping, retail store's cut etc.
