One game in particular that I adore though seems to get quite the amount of flack from current gamers: The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. While I'm sure nostalgia helps with my admiration towards the game, it took me off guard when I noticed the current amount of negativity surrounding a game that I feel I could boot up at any point and enjoy it just as much today as I did almost a decade and a half ago."
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.

My first 360 game. Loved it.
Then came the ring of death and I moved to ps.
Incredible game. Absolutely blew me away back in the day.
I still play Oblivion every other year. My first and favorite Elder Scrolls even though I put more time into Skyrim.
I didn't realize there was negativity around this game. I thought everyone felt pretty much the same about it and thought it was fantastic.
I like it better than Skyrim by a long shot.
Negativity? Black sheep? Forgotten child? What are you talking about? The game was stellar in its day, and still holds up despite dated graphics.
