WorthPlaying: BioShock & The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Bundle Review

WorthPlaying writes: "Throughout the console generations, there are certain titles that every gamer simply must play. From Super Mario Bros. and Sonic the Hedgehog to Halo and Metal Gear Solid, these are the games that define our very pastime and stand as the beacons of excellence atop the gaming mountain. During this most recent round of consoles, there has been a handful of must-play titles, and among them are BioShock and The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. If, for whatever reason, you haven't already played one or both of these games, Bethesda and 2K have teamed up to make an offer simply too good to refuse. Both titles are now available in a $40 bundle, and for anyone who missed out the first time around, you no longer have an excuse to sit on the sidelines. Those who already own these games or who have played them extensively shouldn't bother, though, as this is truly the bare-bones version of both games, with no extra bells or whistles to lure you back in for one more adventure."

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

-Foxtrot25d ago

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

TheColbertinator25d ago

Well said. Exactly my thoughts too.

Tedakin25d ago

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

isarai25d 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

Tacoboto25d ago (Edited 25d 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

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

Fragslayer24d 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.

Fragslayer24d 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.
