Oblivion on PSP (It's Weird)

[@Ravnstal]

Around the time psp was popular there seemed to be a weird trend of psp ports being almost entirely different from the console and pc counterparts. Sims 2 is the same.

[@gegahertz7142]

man they always did that, even with the nintendo ds porting a bunch of lego games

[@butterfinger4393]

That's because they weren't ports , they are remade from the ground up as psp games.

[@iRemainNameless]

[@susannabean5973]

its mildly upsetting that some aspects of this version actually look better than the real game

Yes. The spell wheel is amazing.

[@streakingclothed]

And it runs better then skyrim for ps3😂

@ClosestNearUtopia I had that lmao

[@Kujo999]

"This build is very buggy" that's just Oblivion. I remember Oblivion was supposed to have a "mobile" version but wasn't aware there was an actual build of it.

[@SexyBiscuit]

Oh there is a java mobile port too that exists and I've played it in my java game video :)

[@PIKL_Creep]

I think the mobile version is something else, a 2d game for whatever popular mobile phone at the time.

[@SpicyRikers]

This is actually Kind of Impressive, I very much was expecting less from this before clicking on the vid!

[@ordohereticus3427]

If they had gone through with this, it would've been one of the more solid titles on the PSP seeing as this buggy build itself looks very promising by even PS2 standards.

[@Trusteft]

The graphics look really good to me. Granted last time I played a PSP game was about 2006 or something, I sold mine, but still this is looking good to me. Thanks for the video.

[@curiousfox4463]

You can play this on a modded PSP, you just have to go into the recovery menu and force high memory layout.

[@dragona.wizard7376]

Thanks dude. I was wondering how to do it

[@Hypnotically_Caucasian]

Never forget the flip phone version of Oblivion (yes it was in progress like this)

[@SexyBiscuit]

Ah yes I played it in my Java game video lol was an experience

[@bigdb4755]

I remember playing a God of War game on flip phone. Wasn't the worst thing ever back then, made the bus ride to school go by faster.

[@ashyslashy9987]

PSP is one of my favorite and even to a certain extent the best portable console. The ability to play games and movies on the go was so ahead of its time. What a shame this game never made it but thanks for sharing Roxy! 👍🏻

[@mrfool21]

Huge agree. I used my PSP for so much. Would store a lot of music on it and watch movies. By far my favourite feature of the PSP though was game sharing with friends that had a PSP but didn't own my game(s). Sharing Tekken multiplayer and being able to fight my buddy without them owning the game was GENIUS.

[@Shaymuhs]

Psp was dope had one as a kid they're super reliable considering how many things they can do. many of the games are totally one of a kind

[@KlikxTalksYT]

Ps vita 🗿

[@Clubbythaseal]

I used to love UMD movies on the PSP lol. I had such a large collection before I sold it all a decade ago. Still one of the dumbest mistakes I've ever made.

[@cloudycolacorp]

@@KlikxTalksYT I bought a PSVita pretty close to release and I was so disappointed that it only really delivered on niche JRPGs which Im not really a fan of.

[@rimthestew254]

What annoy me the most that this build has a better opening than the real game... Imagine you started as a prisoner in kvach instead, and your city somehow overrun by daedra, everything in chaos, tried to escape, you follow a lead by a brave guy called brother martin.. And the story expanded from there instead.. You dont given the amulet of king, it was stolen like the original story, and you are tasked to get it at some point in the story.. I think that'll be more interesting that the emperor suddenly stumble upon your jail cell..

[@colonian83]

honestly i'll always have a soft spot for the intro we got. just a chill tutorial, but this is still really cool. we sadly only got to see the aftermath of the invasion.

[@nickelakon5369]

Imo I like the way the alternate start mod handles the main quest. You get your choices of starting location, but the corpse of a prisoner can be found between the imperial city and Weynon priory with a note and the amulet of kings. You can find it at any time, even after closing the gate at kvatch.

[@zoltier]

It was actually set in High Rock which is why the intro is totally different. It's the only glimpse at another province during the Oblivion Crisis other than NPC dialogue and in-game historical records, so it's a shame it never came out.

[@mariuszmoraw3571]

This could been GOTY game for PSP back then if they gave it more love. I wonder why they cancelled it? Maybe they hit wall with it? While PSP was great console, it still was limited comparing to stationary consoles and PC. Also I think they were torn between it being either segmented RPG or sandbox, that's why it is so confusing.

[@Boss-sn7ci]

Probably just too ambigious and too expensive for only a small playerbase at the time.

[@luke2806]

most impressive PSP game imo are the monster hunter games. those were wild especially when the online worked. I remember playing online around when the first couple gens of Iphones and smart phones came out and they were absolute junk in comparison to the PSP's capabilities at the time. thats pretty impressive for a handheld device at the time, a 3d game with decent graphics being played online.

[@kathrynradonich3982]

Never got into monster hunter but played the crap out of medal of honor heroes 1 & 2 online on my PSP and had an absolute blast. Was kinda insane to think you could have 32 players at once on such a small portable console at the time.

[@AndrewD8Red]

I love the PSP. Don't care what anyone says. There was a Transformers game that was absolutely superb. (You played as Thundercracker, which will never not make me laugh.) Also, I think I'm the only guy who loved the Aliens vs. Predator PSP game too.

[@drewzero1]

All of the PSP's Star Wars Battlefront games were great too. The auto-aim system was really smooth and made up for the fact that there was only one analog stick. The DS version of the same name wasn't even close.

[@FungeHucker]

Actually seems pretty good for an unfinished demo! Imoressive visuals despite the placeholder/repeated models and textures. At the time this is one I was sad to hear was cancelled :(

[@Zalazaar]

You have no idea how long I waited for this game to come out.

[@bigdawg723]

Didn’t even know that was a thing

[@mattyork7625]

Same. Had no clue.

[@misha4058]

animations and how the movement feels is better than the original I'd say

[@Comicfield1]

The intention was to set the PSP port in High Rock instead of Cyrodil and the intention was to show how the other provinces were affected by the Oblivion crisis, and they did High Rock because of how similar High Rock and Cyrodil were. I think it's a really neat idea.

[@titusseptim]

Was just talking about this earlier. This would have been interesting experiencing the oblivion crisis in another province

[@RB725GamingHD]

Especially Black Marsh or Summerset Isles lol

[@Kings_Crossing]

For some reason I absolutely love ports of flagship games or big games to portable consoles. Tomb Raider games on gameboy and DS. Or like Turok 2 for Gameboy Color, Peter Jackson's king kong on every console known to man. I wish this game had come to fruition. Just something about playing a game that's way out of scope for the hardware and seeing what the devs can make of it is so fun.

[@Bushman06]

I think oblvion for the psp was supposed to be what the elder scrolls blades became

[@ACHEESEDANISHZ]

Not true in the slightest.

[@Bushman06]

@@ACHEESEDANISHZ Key word "I think" unless you got physical proof to back up that claim because I sure as hell dont

[@leeborocz-johnson1649]

I remember being in middle school and desperately wanting this to come out and no one had the slightest idea of what had become of it.

[@cheat13]

Dark Alex be praised! Good video! Saints Row also has a prototype on PSP! :)

[@braveinsanity6843]

This is impresive AF! It's too bad this was cancelled. I loved the PSP. I had the 1000, 3000, and Go. I still have a jail-broke 1000 with a ton of emulators on it and a bunch of ROM/ISO. Impressive little system all around.

[@MrGadfly772]

I'm still waiting for the further adventures of Evelyn Wondersnatch in Star Citizen.

[@Officialshepi]

huh I feel like this wouldve been great if they released a full version. wonder why they scrapped it

[@E_M-real]

this does actually run on origonal modded hardware! i remember my brother had gotten a hold of it and we were blown away by playing oblivion on a mobile device, it was so surreal

[@milkmonster2310]

I remember owning the Java Oblivion game on my mobile phone. I couldn’t make it out of the starting area due to not knowing how to pass the gate!

[@Dbentzjr]

Oblivion on Switch would be pretty cool...

[@johnkakuk]

Dude! 14 year old me would've played the heck out of this every day

[@BeRitCrunk]

Really impressed with how faithful of a recreation this was. Clearly some license had to be taken due to limitations, but they truly went out of their way to translate the Oblivion experience to the PSP, all the way down to the crashing.

[@RetroPlus]

It looks like morrowind that's modded to look like oblivion, i actually love the visual style of this version

[@chincemagnet]

I remember hearing about Oblivion or some version of Oblivion coming out on PSP years ago, which would have been incredible back in the day. I just wish the PC version had native controller support so it wasn't so annoying on Steam Deck.

[@penatio]

From what I remember reading, they were going for a sort of "Dark Messiah of Might & Magic" kind of game with this one.

[@stoned_kitty]

What do you mean by "Weird"? You're able to bring my favorite game of all time anywhere you want. I wish i had PSP.

[@Bloowashere]

ngl, the quest to go 3 steps to deliver something sounds like a developer testing something and not having to waste time trekking somewhere. They'd likely just move one of the characters and change a bit of the dialogue, and you've got a competent little quest.

[@ivansalamon7028]

This was beautiful. Yes more please.

[@The_IRL_Bard]

time for the community to do something about this

[@Vaareth]

and we didn't even get a ps vita edition Q_Q

[@penatio]

Peter Jackson's King Kong is also very impressive graphics-wise on the PSP.

[@stevesilvasi5843]

I remember looking for this when I was little. The gaming world record book marked the game as a psp game... for so long.

[@kingofbel6499]

tbf the first time I played Oblivion was in a very cheap laptop so I can see it working on a PSP. On a Vita the game would run perfectly for sure.

[@MoonSarito]

This looks so impressive especially for a handheld game, it's a shame they didn't finish development on this or even move it to the 3DS (like Sonic Generations did) or the PSVita, I think it would maybe make as big an impact as Skyrim on Switch.

[@ClaraRenway]

Its been a few years but I can confirm this runs on original PSP hardware iirc :3

[@MrLVujovic]

would definitely pay to have it on psp.. it looks decent and plays better than expected!

[@almightyk11]

If you think this was fun, you should check out the N-Gage game "The Elder Scrolls Travels: Shadowkey". It's legitimately fun once you get your head around the controls.

If this is stil the creation engine, maybe modders could complete it? Although the lack of PSPs around anymore probably don't help it's chances.

[@GashimahironChl]

lack of psp's? bro they're everywhere most of 'em with dead UMD drives, but who needs that anyway? PSP emulation also has become... not garbage over the years so you don't really need a real psp.

[@EbonySaints]

​@@GashimahironChlThis. The thing sold over seventy million units and has been rooted to hell and back. The fact that it doesn't rely on (overtly) proprietary memory like it's successor helps. Someone insane enough could probably jury-rig something.

[@chincemagnet]

aiming the bow on the 360 version of Oblivion is horrendously twitchy, I know because I'm currently replaying it. The enhanced version is actually fantastic on the xbox series x. It's way better than an unmodded pc version. Anyway, aiming the bow was already horrible, I can't imagine trying to aim it with crappy PSP controls. I wanted to verify the PSP didn't have an analog stick, when I looked it up I discovered the PSP is plentiful and reasonably priced to buy used. I still have a Vita, wonder what that's worth?

[@dragona.wizard7376]
