Fuck it; let's just improve OpenMW ourselves.

Why is it so brown? Is it because of lighting?

[-] SplashJackson@lemmy.ca 3 points 4 days ago

It's not even based off Quake

Stop wasting dev time on this shit. It's been almost 7 years since they announced Elder Scrolls VI and we've seen nothing since.

Anyone who wanted to play oblivion has already picked it up. It's still available to play right now. Fuck remasters

It’s believed that this remake is being built in Unreal Engine 5.

Whoa, no embryos involved? Not even “totally new” ones? Interesting. I’m now very curious how this reviews.

[-] Zulasas@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago

I've read that only the graphics are being done in UE5. The original Embryos is apparently still running in the background for everything else.

Oh man, that sounds like something they would do. That’s wild.

Joking aside, I know it’s a deep toolset that a large production team and community know. But it does seem to drag things down.

Maybe divorcing it from rendering and other systems will allow them to progressively move away from it, and build new systems on the Unreal side.

fake. hoax. and if not: stupid. UE brown-gray filter is the same color and consistency as the fecal matter of a dying elderly person, all fluffy and gray and sandy-like, like shitting saw dust, you know? if this is real, it's embarrassing. they missed the whole aesthetic idea of the original game (Tolkien-esque, very colorful, but dark disturbing somewhat eldritch underbelly), which begs the question: what else did they miss?

It's this about skyblivion or what? It doesn't mention.

Skyblivion has been developing very publicly for years.

[-] Maestro@fedia.io 20 points 5 days ago

No, this is about the official remaster from Bethesda

[-] donuts@lemmy.world 14 points 5 days ago

Mentioned in the first paragraph:

After years of rumors and speculation that Bethesda was working on a remake of the landmark role-playing game, the first screenshots of this brand new version of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion have been found as fans started digging around the developer’s website ahead of a reported release next week.

[-] arankays@lemmy.ca 11 points 4 days ago

There seems to be a lot of confusion. It's not Skyrim. It's not Skyblivion. It's not a port or a remaster.

It is a FULL REMAKE in a NEW engine.

[-] Poopfeast420@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Apparently it's called a remaster, not a remake.

[-] arudesalad@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 days ago

New engine as in an updated creation engine or new engine as in they finally gave up on creation engine

[-] Poopfeast420@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

People are saying it's UE5.

Years ago, when it was leaked, a poster said this:

It is done currently using a pairing system, so it means that the remaster is running using both an Unreal Engine 5 project, and the old Oblivion one. For instance, new graphics are rendered in the UE5 project, but most of the gameplay/physics/etc is still done in Oblivion.

[-] callouscomic@lemm.ee 1 points 4 days ago

I remember reading back in December/January that it's going to be a mix of Unreal Engine 5 and the Gamebryo Engine from the original.

This brought MickeyD back from the dead.
