Liam Lambert, GIZORAMA - "What do I know about music? Admittedly less than the great men and women whose soundtracks I'll be writing about at length, but I play the guitar, I write music, I've played in bands and other ensembles, and I've studied music and music technology at minor levels during my time at secondary school, so I know my way around some terminology and basic principles. More importantly, my tenure reviewing games has helped me to identify and distinguish the good scores from the bad, though in my experience most game soundtracks tend to range from outstanding to benign and nondescript - rarely outright bad. For our inaugural exploration into auditory appreciation, I thought I'd choose an OST which has stuck with me for years, and has not only accompanied the game for which it was created, but also long nights of essay writing and sunny walks through English suburbia. I present to you: High Scores Volume #1 - The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion."
Virtuos is currently working on a multiplatform Unreal Engine 5 remake, which is rumored to be The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.
I thought they’d go for Morrowind first to be honest but this is a welcoming surprise to tide us over before ES6
Unreal Engine isn't efficient for open world games, so I question the reliability of this story.
Yeah, 1st thing that came to my mind too, although i CAN see it being likely for ease if use, but it's not going to run very well if so
I'd wonder if it would just be exploiting Unreal for graphics but the underlying engine/logic is still the original framework.
Like how we had the graphical remakes of Halo Anniversary, Tomb Raider I-III, and Demon's Souls.
Could also end up a disaster like the GTA Trilogy
"remake will run both an Unreal Engine 5 project and the old Oblivion project. For instance, new graphics are rendered in the Unreal Engine 5 project, but most of the gameplay and physics are still done on the original Oblivion engine"
So with this logic it'll run just fine using UE5 tool sets on top of Gamebryo's engine or maybe even Creation Engine, who knows.
Hopefully modders can fix the aged combart in this game if this is true. Enemies leveling up with you broke and defeated the whole purpose of leveling up.
Yeah it could use some tuning for sure hence the need for a Remake not a Remaster. I'm surprised it's even a conversation within them group which makes me skeptical it's Oblivion. I wouldn't say they shouldn't level up at all though maybe just a leave them a couple levels behind to appease the masses.
Created by Bethesda Softworks, The Elder Scrolls is hailed as one of the most groundbreaking RPG franchises.
