Ho hohoho, what's up now, cows.  The game had one year to improve, and still didn't.  It looks like every multiplat will be better on the 360.

Actually, I think the one year extra is the exact reason why it scored less... It's an old game, yet still a great one. 9.5 is a great score, don't even try and claim ownage on this one...

"The graphics are slightly better, the load times are shorter, and there is a bit of new content in the form of the Knights of the Nine add-on, which is available as a separate purchase on other platforms."

Graphics are better but for some reason it got 0.1 off in the sound.

Maybe the volume was turned down during the review process? Wouldn't HDMI cable provide even better sound then optical ?

Yeah, that is if GS has a receive that supports HDMI  (they're quite expensive) but they probably do nonetheless.

I dont think they actually took it off because the sound was worse, just that they couldn't give a year old game the same score (even though it was better) so they took off on a random thing like sound.

I dont suppose a logical supposition such as it was ACTUALLY BETTER could apply here, could it?  Sorry, just thought I'd add a bit of logic to your argument.

Nope, optical and HDMI are the same quality. They are both a pure digital signal.

  0.1 dosnt mean squat since Oblivion on PS3 came out 1 year lator ... standerards are higher now and as such GameSpot couldnt justify giving PS3 version the same score ...

PS3 - The Bad: slightly annoying performance issues.

360 - The Bad: Frequent though fairly brief loading times; you might run into some technical issues with performance.

 

 

Hmmm.... and let's look at Resident Evil 4. PS2 version scored lower than the Gamecube version even though it had way more content. PS2 had a 9 in tilt and GC had a 10 in tilt and that's the only difference... when games come out a year later they score lower, yet PS3 Oblivion scored just .1 worse.

And stop trying to spin a 9.5 as bad news = /

They don't have the 360 so they are only going off what others have said. Those of us that have the 360 and the game know there was an update that corrected those issues.

I've actually heard that this is not so and that people over on the IGN board are actually trying to "Un-Patch" (don't ask me, that's what they said) The new patch because of issues that it has caused with the game.

The sound may have gotten 9 because mabye there was no upgrade in quality, the sound standards have risen in the past year or simply Greg Mueller reviewed it.

Actually, since Oblivion was released for the 360 BEFORE the recent patch and scored a 9.6, I figure the patch should add at least a .1 to the final score.  Therefore, I declare the patched 360 Oblivion 9.7.

If the game had released a year later with zero improvement, it would have scored less than a 9.5

Actually, I think the one year extra is the exact reason why it scored less... It's an old game, yet still a great one. 9.5 is a great score, don't even try and claim ownage on this one...Not-A-Stalker

 We will. We claim ownage the first AAA on the PS3 was on the 360 a year ago . We claim ownage because the 360 version is superior by .1 . I always knew this would be AAA but I thought more a 9.3 like the PC version.

Actually, fanboys (this goes to all of you), if you look at the review score, it scored sligthly lower because it got a 9 in sound instead of a 10 like the xbox360 version. Which is weird because I couldn't find a reason as towards why it should have scored lower in the sound department....

im the farthest thing from a cow, but 9.5 for a late release game sounds pretty good
