Bitmob: I've mentioned here before -- several times, by now -- that I found The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion really hard to get into and even harder to finish. The story didn't pull me in, the classes and leveling system were inscrutable, and the combat felt lackluster to me. So I went into my hands-on demo with Oblivion's sequel, Skyrim, at PAX Prime last week with a certain preconceived opinion.
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.
1: Level scaling fixed
2: 100% Handcrafted world
3: presentation(everything sound, animation etc)
it's just those reasons are small compared to mine ;)
i always liked the elder scrolls games, but their too open for my add riddled brain sometimes.
Those aren't my main concerns.
1) I want to explore and fine loot that is unique and useful.
2) I want the game to have an economy where the weath I achieve is actually helpful in the game.
3)I want to be able to steal with out everyone in the game automaticly knowing that the item was stollen.
The more I think about what I want the more anger I am feeling over what was done to Oblivion. I know many of you love that game. But just thinking about it just make me no even want to give this game the chance it deserves. I am a huge fan of Morrowind. It is the best game I have ever played. I was expecting so much from Oblivion that it lead me to massive disappontment, to the point where I wasted my $60 and traded in the game after closing 2 gates. Oblivion mught have been a good game, but it was not what I was expecting to play when I bought it.
3 reasons is selling this game short. There are at least 30 reasons.
I love elder scrolls for its vastness.....I can't but wonder if Skyrim is that much big,what it will become in 10 years.......May be a game that will never end....
