Oblivion REMAKE is Rumored to Feature CORE Gameplay Changes

[@billy65bob]

So Bethesda and their engines... Skyrim Special Edition, and specifically all the crazy stuff modders have implemented (e.g. BFCO), I've been thoroughly convinced by modders and Bethesda themselves, that the problem with Bethesda isn't their engine, but Bethesda.

[@strawhatmikey23]

@@billy65bob Yes I do agree, you are 100% right, at least in my personal opinion, that its more on Bethesda and not utilizing their engine correctly rather than the issue being with the engine itself. Also, appreciate you watching the vid!

[@lonneansekishoku8288]

Would be right, especially for newer hires not used to Creation Engine. Have to keep in mind the complexity of their games impacts the final result, especially if you consider crunch time and they aren't as big as other companies. (Iirc, around 80 or maybe around 100 people worked on Fo3, and that was at the end when they added people post Oblivion. Compared to Assassin's creed 2, a much simpler game, with a manpower of around 450.)

[@serrethindustries9468]

The thing EVERY remake should aim to do is keep what the community loves(oblivion's world, quest chains, spells, freedom) while fixing the things the community disliked(oblivion's combat, repetitive dungeons, egregiously long loading screens, horrible balance between perks and skill progression). I will also say the premade classes are absolute garbage. Just explain the leveling system and force us make a custom class. For extra good measure, recommend EVERY class take sneak, security, and athletics. That way you're passively contributing to your character level no matter what you're doing.

[@strawhatmikey23]

@@serrethindustries9468 Definitely agree with this!!!!! Keep what the players loved, improve upon the feedback over almost 2 decades of what people didnt.

[@mats9775]

My gut feeling tells me they’ll do exactly the opposite, and somehow mess this up… At least Skyblivion looks promising so far.

Very informative, thank you. Keep up the good work! 😇

Really appreciate you! Thanks for watching the video!

[@Chtigga]

I hope it will change the worldbuilding of the province as well. So that we can finally see the Nibenese culture, Colovian culture, and so on.

[@Greaseball_gamer]

Modernized hud scares me , the hud in oblivion was fine. Hope they dont dumb down oblivions mechanics.

[@ReidMontgomery95]

The only thing I wouldn't mind being changed is the enemy health bar

[@michaeltiller2659]

Just another way to delay ESVI lol

[@Jin-_-._.104]

Another studio is working on the remake I don’t see how that would delay ESVI lol

[@nasserm20]

Why not showing in it then??

[@Bigjimi6was9]

I have a new theory. What if Bethesda is just going to pay Rebelzize and release Skyblivion officially??? And thats the remake.

[@strawhatmikey23]

@@Bigjimi6was9 lmfao that would be insane

[@garretmc494]

Imagine if it got released via creation kit​@@strawhatmikey23

[@Tearshia]

That is what I was thinking too!

[@GlennElliottKeller]

I wonder how they will handle the DLCs. Hopefully they fix things to where you receive the correct equipment for your level, rather than setting the equipment level based on your level when the DLC was installed. If the DLCs are all part of the game from level 1, you’ll be stuck with the weakest version of all DLC weapons.

[@TheRealLazyBacon]

I’m just wondering what happened Morrowind

[@Chtigga]

Skywind.

[@Nobodyspecial402]

I supported Bethesda in changing engines until the BS with Unity went down. With large games, it can be risky for a company to be at the whim of another, so I understand why keeping things in-house makes sense.

[@jonathanbiller2029]

Why do people are about a remaster if there is its not like it's gonna come out anytime soon they they showed us elder scrolls 6 5 years ago and look were still years out lol

[@Me_Caveman]

The engine is aging when compared to audience expectations, but it is the studio that I worry about. The writing and many of the design elements are falling off and games are feeling derivative when compared to older titles. In the specific example of Oblivion, I think a core element that will be lost was the AI system they were trying to develop that they neutered for Skyrim. It smoothed out the jank but at the expense of the Oblivion feel.

[@strawhatmikey23]

It is rumored that Bugesda's half baked remake will not be fit to wipe yer arse with.

[@AnnaDolphin97]

Saying a game engine looks better tells me you dont know much about engines, the mainly the mechanics thats diffrent between engines

[@strawhatmikey23]

@@AnnaDolphin97 Yeah ur right in the fact that I dont know MUCH about engines. Dabbled here and there with modding and making stuff on Unreal Engine 4 back in the day but I dont know much aside from what ive read/researched. What I mean is that Unreal Engine 5 has the capability to make beautiful games, not saying the creation engine doesnt. But ive been impressed by most (not all) of what ive seen from UE5 games (Wukong, Senuas 2, Etc) compared to what I saw in Starfield for example. Granted, Oblivion is a much larger scaled game than those UE5 ones i mentioned, so we will have to see when its revealed what it looks like! Appreciate you watching the video!!

[@Jin-_-._.104]

Creation engine been around for 25 years lol and not since Skyrim

[@javebjorkman]

Idk, man, the most beautiful Bethesda game ever made is the Skyrim I modded to high heaven. And it runs smoothly lol

[@DadeHudson93]

Depending on how good and well received this game ends up being this can very well be another obsidian situation lol. If they end up making it better than the original, this will be one of bethesda's biggest L's that will haunt them lol. Especially if the rumors are true and they pull it off on ue5? And it ends up being a graphical spectacle, better looking than Elder Scrolls 6 that's being made on the outdated creation engine? 😬

[@XtremeXbox]

This remake will be harder than any Souls game. When in the Imperial City, if you even LOOK at a guard...you die IMMEDIATELY and must start the game from the very beginning. Even if you have 100hrs invested...GONE!

[@matthieubreton2627]

Counter therory ! We all are in the wrong and it was never a oblivion remake but a morrowind remake and we will have botha morrowind and oblivion "remake" this year !

[@ManeShores]

Skyblivion and Skywin are going to be so much better than anything Bethesda throws at us. After Starfield, I've lost my faith in Bethesda having any talent apart from some of the artists.

[@strawhatmikey23]

@@ManeShores Most likely, Bethesda will mainly just oversee the project, with Virtuos actually making the remake. So this at least could maybe be good news for you!!! Also, appreciate you watching the video!
