Skyrim is coming: looking back on Oblivion

Baden of Wolfsgamingblog writes: "In just a few long weeks I’m going to either physically explode or start frothing at the mouth before attacking random strangers and running in circles. The reason for this strange behavior, well, slightly stranger than normal, is the release of the fifth game in the Elder Scrolls series. It goes by the name Skyrim, and you may very have heard of it. In fact it’s hard to believe that it has been five years since the Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion was released and stole my heart. I know, that’s a dramatic sentence, but it’s a true one. Oblivion has stolen several hundred hours of my life in those five years, which is a terrifying statistic when you stop and think about it. It had flaws, many of them, but there was something truly amazing about it. So here’s my rose-tinted view of Oblivion."

Ah yes great memories of running.g around naked as a Dunmer and using a horse as a portable luggage carrier. Good days indeed.

Man,i spent way to many hours playing that game, & i probably will spend way to many hours playing skyrim lol. I do have to admit it though, i played oblivion for well over 150 hours, but never got around to finishing the main quest. I kinda gave up on that quest. Pretty sad i know. I tried getting back into it a few weeks back but there are just so many games out right now i dont know when ill ever finish it.

WolfLeBlack4570d ago

To be honest you weren't missing that much by not finishing the singleplayer, though the armor was worth it.

one word the adoring fan, and so many ways to kill him

Angrymorgan4570d ago

Lol, the ice cream hairdo guy. I loved kicking his skinny little smurf looking ass all over the map.... Good times :)

I personally enjoyed leading him into various caves filled with horrors and leaving him there. Poor bugger

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

-Foxtrot8d ago

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

TheColbertinator8d ago

Well said. Exactly my thoughts too.

Tedakin8d ago

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

isarai8d 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

Tacoboto8d ago (Edited 8d 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

mkis0078d ago

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

Fragslayer7d 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.

Fragslayer7d 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.
