Dude Has Seizure While Playing Oblivion, Sues Bethesda - News - www.GameInformer.com

Ryan McLaughlin was a former pilot in the Navy, and it's "former" thanks to Oblivion if his claims are true. He says that flashing lights in the gigantic Bethesda game caused him to have the first seizure he's ever experienced, and he subsequently lost his flying status.

"The product was so designed that it exceeded the upper acceptable limit of more than 3 flashes over a 1 second period, as well as acceptable spatial pattern and luminance flash limits. These risks were not made known to the plaintiff and/or an ordinary consumer prior to the time of purchase."

What flashing in particular (at least to spark epilepsy that is)?
 

It was probably because he was overwhelmed by the awesome. :2razz:

He just needs to admit he faked the epilepsy so he could get fired and play oblivion all day AND still get covered financially. Clever bastard. Anyways actually gives me an idea for uni since it comes out on my first year.

Once again, the game sounds great, the changes to the character skills and advancement system sound horrible.

They're dumbing them down, I'm pissed off that they've removed the class creation feature, it was the way that every new game you started was different, they've ruined a lot of the replay value.

I blame console gamers and making games for all platforms. Some games should be just PC games so that they can be made actually complex.
 
Blame the PS3. Microsoft provides developers with tools to be able to create a Windows game application that can be ported over to the XBox pretty easily since as you know all games are built natively in a PC environment first.

The PS3 requires you move all of your code into a new engine and then optimize it for the platform and that process can be slow and buggy. That's why PS3 release dates are usually pushed back a lot further than the XBox and PC releases. Take the Crysis 2 map pack for example, or all of the COD map packs which always get a PC and XBox release first and countless of other examples.

Consoles always have something to offer over a PC system, but Microsoft's decision to not include Blu-Ray hardware makes it impracticle for developers to have a 3+ disk game and the hell developers need to go through to port a game to the PS system probably does take up a lot of core development time, time that can be used to make the game even better.

As for the expressed concerns on Skyrim, it's really something we know little about at this point in time. If i get the answers i'll be sure to update you guys as usual.

If any of you guys have access to the Hotel Figueroa in LA then make sure you dont miss this (and take us your own picture while your there)!

 
I'm looking forward to this game a lot. Oblivion was one of my favorite games of all time. If this game is even half as good as Oblivion, it'll be one to remember.
