Cross-platform gaming: from simple ports to the Gates of Oblivion

Battlefield: Bad Company for PS3 and Xbox 360. Unreal Tournament 3: for PC and PlayStation 3, with an Xbox 360 version coming in 2008. ID Software's Rage: coming to PC, PS3, Xbox 360 and even Mac. With more and more PC developers announcing console and cross-platform titles, different platforms now compete directly for the same gamers.

To figure out what to expect from future cross-platform releases YouGamers looks first to what has happened in the world of cross-platform gaming during the last year and a half.

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

-Foxtrot7d ago

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

TheColbertinator7d ago

Well said. Exactly my thoughts too.

Tedakin7d ago

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

isarai7d 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

Tacoboto7d ago (Edited 7d 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?

Fragslayer6d 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.

Fragslayer6d 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.
