The Oblivion Remake Is REAL... But We Need to Talk

[@Hero_Of_Old]

Bethesda aren't even remastering it. Its another studio. Not sure why everyones getting their pants in a twist. Its just making the game prettier. Skyblivion isn't going away, I'm just going to play both.

[@Direwolf9818]

It’s the new norm to shit on Bethesda for literally everything. Also to start claiming that Bethesda hates modders and will force the Skyblivion team to shut down or some bs.

hopefully its obsidian

People keep bring up that mod without remembering a large part of the playerbase can't play it, an official remake/remaster is better all around for everyone.

[@TheGoodLuc]

Imagine Morrowind: official remake. Bethesda will highly likely dumb down it sooo much. So yes, Oblivion remake can be cool, but considering Starfield... it'll probably won't be.

[@nikkeli3942]

Played Oblivion a couple of months ago, the game still holds up pretty good and I see no good reason for Bethesda to remake it. The game is even easily available on steam.

[@HvalaTiArkane]

I dont know, they only have to remake a game, not create one from 0 like starfield, that was trash

[@FeelingShred]

some people's brains work like that, they don't watch a good epic 80s movie because they instantly notice it's not "HD" and they label it "old"

[@ApocRNG]

its going to be terrible and you know it

[@emarskineel]

You're right I do know it

[@Hero_Of_Old]

Why? Its just making the game prettier.

[@renn6699]

It wasn't good to begin with.

[@Tenacityfromtheglass]

Bethesda has come a long way. I have faith that it will be mid

[@VIRTIASONIC]

Well Demon’s Soul’s ran off the same logic, which was astounding when you consider how primitive it actually was in reality animation and polish wise, maybe they’ll redo some of the animations for the human characters, I doubt though in special enemies and animal mobs though. But I do pray they bring the dynamic lighting from E3. I just hope and pray they won’t delist the original Oblivion, that’s my childhood right there.

6 Gigs install size was still A LOT in 2008... part of the reason I started catching up on the latest games, they were bloated and not even half as much fun

[@FeelingShred]

2006 even

I miss ghosting a vehicle in gta 4 and watching niko ragdoll down the street for 12 straight seconds. At least new games look good, though

[@DonaldGaron]

While we're talking about classic games, I'm currently playing Pokémon Stadium 2 and it's amazing. I use save states so that I can figure out the strategy for each fight. If my roster is not viable for a tournament or a trainer in a specific tournament after trying multiple strategies, I try again with a new roster. And so on.

[@Giantpenguin]

Man stadium games were so good with the linking to gameboy games, after experiencing that I mostly lost interest in pokemon since nothing ever seemed to quite match it.

[@DonaldGaron]

@@Giantpenguin maybe you'd like speedruns of the game. Werster and Yandaemonium do Stadium speedruns these days

[@DawezyDRK]

One thing that really annoyed me with some (maybe most even?) of the "modernizations" that are done is that they usually take away the consoles, or any real way to do your own diy with the files and configs outside of getting a Nexus mod or something. I'd give it a high probability of them doing the same to a rehash of Oblivion if it was done through Bethesda themselves, no console by default. Plus given the current state of alot of the "AAA" studios nowadays they are more activists then programmers in there and it's really a sad thing, the future for the games industry is a bit grim if it maintains its current course huh? I'd personally pass on it though, making a new file on my GOG copy is simple enough - and I actually have the physical discs of both Oblivion and Morrowwind, so come the apocalypse I think I'm covered for some pre-internet Elder Scrolls action.

[@fonzersbox1]

Graphics in UE5 almost nobody will be capable of playing it.

[@Tenacityfromtheglass]

Oh, it'll be playable. It'll be blurry with a bunch of ghosting, fake frames, input lag, pop in, and everything else, but it will be playable

We're not getting an Oblivion remake- it isn't a remake.
