Bethesdas remaster would probably be nothing more than a version with updated graphics and lighting and support for modern software. This guy is rebuilding the game from scratch in a modern engine.

[-] LittlePrimate@feddit.de 24 points 1 year ago

in a modern engine.

Well, at least more modern than oblivion, Skyrim's is 12 years old...

Fun fact there were olny six years between Oblivion and Skyrims release. Thats right skyrim has been out longer than the release time between oblivion and skyrim.

You can add Morrowind to that timeline too, which came out in 2002, so 9 years between Morrowind and Skyrim. Crazy...

[-] Virkkunen@kbin.social 11 points 1 year ago

These people are rebuilding the game from "scratch" in Skyrim's Creation Engine version, but it's still nothing more than a version with updated graphics and lightning. Bethesda's probably going to be using FO4 or Starfield's CE version, which will have the same result albeit shinier.

It's much more than a lighting and graphics overhaul.

[-] Fades@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

updated graphics and lighting and support for modern software

even that would be expecting too much, I'll be shocked if that "graphics update" is anything more than only slightly better texture replacements

[-] GreenMario@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

Oblivion already is 4K/60fps on XSX thanks to FPSBoost and resolution enhanced. They're gonna have to justify if just a bit more than that.

Fix potato faces and leveling system would be a good start. Add real beards for Nords.

[-] aesopjah@lemm.ee 10 points 1 year ago

Keep at it! Been stoked for Skyblivion. And there's no way the remaster will even match it. They'll likely just upgrade the graphics a bit and call it a day

Why do a remake of the worst ES? Lazyness?

Bethesda, do a (good!) rework of morrowind, you cowards!

[-] Shurimal@kbin.social 20 points 1 year ago

At least Oblivion, unlike Skyrim, had actual classes (let's not talk about the leveling system, shall we?) and spell making. Plus some really, really good questlines (including the main quest, and the whole Shivering Isles expansion was rad AF). The cities also felt larger than in Skyrim and the Arcane University was an actual university, not a random village school with 3 students. Role-play wise Skyrim was the weakest of the three modern ES games.

Oblivion is pure comfort food to me. Sure it's a broken mess to the point where it's best not level up, but it just has this serene vibe to it.

[-] chunkystyles@sopuli.xyz 8 points 1 year ago

A few years ago I replayed Oblivion for the first time since it came out. I played a pure spellcaster with no weapons or armor and it was a goddamn blast.

I would just sprint and jump around like a moron while invisible and ignore most threats. Threats I had to deal with got vaporized.

So much fun.

That's a little extreme, here at the fediverse we should strive to do better than reddit, so instead of asking them to delete their account, ask them to defederate. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[-] RickyRigatoni@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Delete your ENTIRE INSTANCE.

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 10 points 1 year ago

I mean... why do a remake of something good, when you can remake something not good, but make it good this time?

They are working with a unpaid team of volunteers vs a billion dollar company owned by a trillion dollar company with 100's of employee's.

They're also just a total of 77 people doing this in their spare time instead of a team of at least 300 full time devs.

The Black Mesa HL remake took 16 years to release (2004-2020).

[-] 520@kbin.social 7 points 1 year ago

And even then, did not release in a completed state until later (some of the alien world levels were missing)

[-] ThunderingJerboa@kbin.social 8 points 1 year ago

I mean to be fair to them, they actually made Xen good instead of a chore.

[-] 520@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Oh yeah, don't get me wrong, it was everything a faithful remake should be!

[-] PatrickYaa@lemmy.one 7 points 1 year ago

You should read this post by Arnold Schwarzenegger. I think it applies to you very well.

You know, it's unhealthy to be so negative all the time. Not saying you should only post positive comments all the time, just keep it in check so Lemmy aren't full of negative vibe.
