This is really pushing the limits of fanboyism to the extreme.

No they haven't. It's not a very good game.

This is the kind of BS that has given Bethesda a free pass for years. To the point where people would say bugs are part of the "charm" of their games. Yes some of their bugs are hilarious, but that doesn't change the fact that for all the content and solid base their games had, they were technically incompetent as developers.

Bethesda RPGs don’t age like fine wine. They often felt clunky and were generally visually dated upon release. Bethesda has been outlasted in terms of production quality for years now.

Oblivion was arguably the pinnacle of graphical fidelity at the time of its release.

If this is true, I hope it leads to Morrowind getting remade next.

-Foxtrot24d ago

I thought they’d go for Morrowind first to be honest but this is a welcoming surprise to tide us over before ES6

TheColbertinator23d ago

Well said. Exactly my thoughts too.

Tedakin24d ago

Unreal Engine isn't efficient for open world games, so I question the reliability of this story.

isarai24d ago

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

Tacoboto24d ago (Edited 24d ago )

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

mkis00723d ago

I have heard that too but even if it's modified isnt arkham knight UE?

Fragslayer23d ago

"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.

Fragslayer23d ago

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.
