Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered

Tuco · Monday at 6:54 AM

Currently just a leak, but there might be a remastered Oblivion releasing this week. What's interesting is the rumor that they are using Unreal Engine 5 for the rendering.

The biggest evidence for this leak being true is that the pope just died, which breaks the seal on Mehrunes Dagon until a new pope can be decided.

Todd is just going to keep re-releasing their previous games over and over and never release a new product. And if Starfield is what a new product would look like then am definitely looking forward to Morrowind remastered.

I wonder how much Todd really worked on this. Given that they probably didn't add much, if any, content, the third party devs ( Virtuos - Wikipedia ) probably required minimal direction.

If Oblivion Remastered is successful I have to imagine they'll make a Morrowind Remastered which is pretty exciting. The justification to modernize Morrowind will be way higher though, since the combat is so goofy. Oblivion's combat is antiquated but is kind of fun in a floaty way.

one my biggest "concerns" was Unreal 5. but yeah. its just unreal5 for the visual rendering, its still gamebryo underneath for the systems.

Isn’t openmw essentially a remastered MW? I played through it last year and it worked pretty well - I will say getting it installed with all the mods was a dogshit experience though

yeah we'll see how much they change in the Oblivion remaster. I'd say that unless they make significant changes to Morrowind such that it's a remake, it's not worth remastering it.

After Starfield my hopes for Bethesda are very low, but in a dream world they basically rebuild the Creation Engine ontop of Unreal Engine, and work out a deal with Epic Games to decrease the licensing cost by making the new Creation Engine licensed open source with similar license agreements to the base Unreal Engine game.

What's people's gripe with ue5? I'm pretty sure throne and liberty used it and that game ran smoother then oil.

I dont have much faith in this actually dropping today but that would be sick. i've wanted to replay Oblivion for awhile now but i can never get past the controls being so janky

Needless · Monday at 12:00 PM

Oh looks like theres a stream/reveal tomorrow @ 11am EST

Breakdown · Monday at 12:05 PM

Damn I was so fucking pumped for the possibility of this dropping today

Todd is just a suit and spin man, all the talent left or was fired long long ago. If anything needed changed for Morrowind (such as the current gamebro engine not allowing flying), there is no one left that could deliver anything close to the classic experience.

Hell, Oblivion was the start of the dumbing down decline and the Todd/Pete "promise an ocean, deliver a puddle" modus operandi of the company.

Not to mention, literally started the whole paid DLC/cosmetic shitshow we have in gaming now with "Horse Armor".

I wonder if there is more too it.

as many have questioned, given the leaks, why not just move forward and drop it?

why the TEASING now, for "worst kept secret"? you'd think the teasing would make a joke about it being leaked.

"all" implies more then 1 thing. So, I wonder if there is some extra big reveal that has not been leaked.

clearly, this is an Arcane tie in. that's Vi wearing a noxus helm, and looking into a mirror.

I actually started it up last fall. didnt make it very far. I think I over thought myself with the leveling system. I read up too much on how shit it was, and altered my char creation, and early gameplay around it.. and that killed any fun I was having.

FTFY!

Also can’t wait for

Tuco to say you can’t save scum, but downloads weight reduction mods and all that other shit.

<3 still thought PvPing with PRX in those early ESO days was the most fun I had in RvR since DAoC.

ESO still has the most thematically amazing siege scenes in any game I've played. Rushing with a tight crew of cavalry then dropping like 20 trebs to take a city was beautiful.

But yeah, I've done multiple playthroughs of Oblivion and cleared ALL the gates multiple times. The most recent time I modded Oblivion to be so incredible hard that the only way to beat the gates was pretty much to save before each room and then die multiple times trying to clear it.

Also I remember save scrumming the final loot item in the gates to get the right black orb thing and also the super treasure chest to get the https://elderscrolls.fandom.com/wiki/Amulet_of_Axes

I expect to save scum Oblivion remasterd in the exact same way.
