A comparison of currently released character faces from Skyrim with Morrowind and Oblivion.
Interview with Stephen Russell, Actor for (Nick Valentine, Codsworth, My Handy) in Fallout 4 which is a vast open world role playing game set in the apocalyptic wastes of Boston, the Commonwealth. The career goes further with other Bethesda games from Starfield to Prey to The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.
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.
Replaying Skyrim after 13 years is a reminder of the progress made in western RPGs over the last decade, but also what's been lost.
I remember when I first started playing Oblivion I used to stop and look at the vista's and marvel at how good the NPC's looked. Skyrim makes those characters look decidedly crap.
This game is gonna be awesome...
aw man i forgot how morrowind looked until i restarted it a couple days ago
can't wait for skyrim
First elder scolls with great looking characters, the ugly npc's have been a real flaw of this series.
Finally no more beautiful people mods :P
I never understood that huge ape like snout they all had, hideous.
I never liked the obvious cut between head and chest in Oblivion.
I guess it's because they had 100+ face-models, and much fewer body-models. I know it's a fantasy game, but when a 70 year old woman has perfect breasts, it breaks some of the immersion.
Most of the new male characthers in Skyrim reminds me of your average Unreal troll, on this characther-sheet, I hope there is normal muscularity on the people aswell.
Anyway, looking forward to Skyrim.
