They say it’s a “Remaster” but it’s clearly a remake (yeah, I know, there’s generally some controversy surrounding the terms).
Oblivion was (aside from Morrowind and, I guess, Daggerfall) one of the best games I’ve ever played and I sunk more hours into it than Skyrim, which I only sunk into for two weeks (Oblivion was for two or three months and then I played The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask in 2008 for the first time and was blown away even more). Honestly, it was a good combination; they were excellent displays of what open-world games can be. Oblivion also had the best quests (compared to the lackluster Skyrim), but of course, retconed the lore from Morrowind, which was annoying. It was also the first game I ever played in The Elder Scrolls lore.
What are your thoughts? Apparently, it has a “Gamebryo API backlink” for mods, but uses Unreal Engine 5, which actually excited my younger brother (who is, otherwise, not really all that interested in a remake and just wants Bethesda to make another game).
Your overall thoughts?
Some thoughts:
Throwing a sepia filter on such a bright and colourful game is a travesty. Oblivion isn’t supposed to be “gritty.”
The only reason to update Oblivion is to make it handle more mods.
I’m still hoping for the folks over at OpenMW to get oblivion and the other gamebyro bethesda games ported but they haven’t even begun that process outside cc9cii monkeying around with an old abandoned fork.
OpenMW?
Its a new engine built from the ground up to run morrowind. Its the best way to play morrowind these days.
Oh, thanks!
At least it’s not another version of Skyrim. Is this instead of TES VI? xD
They’ll probably keep re-releasing Oblivion now.
I hope this means my Skyrim modlist is finally safe
BWahahahaha, perhaps, perhaps…
Please let me at peace Bethesda
Hell yeah. Oblivion on coffee grinders when.
The future is now.
I found a YouTube link in your post. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
Microsoft, Boycott, moving on.
Oh good point
I forgor that I’m doing a Microsoft boycott
So I won’t be getting this game
(i forgor that Microsoft now owns Bethesda)

Would you steal a pirate?!

There is a fan community that’s currently close to releasing a ground up remake of Oblivion as a free mod for Skyrim this year, so at that point, why bother.
Problem is, I don’t like Skyrim’s engine too much (I know the project; it’s called Skyblivion).
I will likely just not buy another Microsoft project. Maybe I’ll pirate, but I’m kinda done with Bethesda.
