Skyrim >> Oblivion. I'm not shitting on Oblivion, but Skyrim is a lot better and it's one of the best games I have ever experienced.

The Meerkat4563d ago

LOL, i agree.

I got such a scare from a rat thing while turning a corner that I almost dropped my controller and my heart started racing.

Raf1k14563d ago

The experience for me has been pretty much the same as it was for oblivion. It plays almost exactly the same, similar quests and similar quality of voice acting.

I'm not saying that's bad since it's still one of the best games of the year IMO but there just doesn't seem to have been much of an improvement on the formula as a whole.

i disagree, i love the perk system and streamlined leveling. the dual weilding adds so much more to the combat. te stories are better. theres werewolves and dragons. and each dungeon is signifancaqntly better, a few have puzzles, traps etc, there is so much more variety tpp, i havent seen one that looks the same yet. and way more armor choices.

also the game has waaaaaaaaay more enemy variety!!!!

agree on the voice acting though, minus patrick :/

Raf1k14562d ago

I think I've only played for about 4 hours so far. What you say seems to be true and it does feel like a better game overall but TBH it doesn't feel like a huge step up to me. Maybe more playtime will change my mind. In fact I'm hoping it does because I've enjoyed what I've experience so far.

CaptCalvin4563d ago

Uhhh... those aren't dungeons. They're caves.

Intentions4563d ago (Edited 4563d ago )

When did dungeons have trees? :D

Karooo4563d ago

wow really? Where there is water there will be plant growth.

chak_4563d ago

not without light :p

Or some form of plant, but definitively not tree

gameseveryday4563d ago

This is a dungeon, check the attached screen for some explanation:

LightofDarkness4563d ago

Whoops, it's GamingBolt, everyone avoid.

SH0CKW4VE4563d ago

Oblivion had one guy working on the dungeons, Skyrim had an entire team...

but on that note the game is brilliant, ecplises all others this year, sorry but it does everything they do better and in an unscripted environment.

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

-Foxtrot23d ago

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

TheColbertinator23d ago

Well said. Exactly my thoughts too.

Tedakin23d ago

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

isarai23d 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

Tacoboto23d ago (Edited 23d 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

mkis00722d ago

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

Fragslayer22d 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.

Fragslayer22d 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.

I'm Replaying Skyrim (again), and So Should You

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.

anast38d ago

I tried, but it's a poorly made game that insults its customers.

lucian22938d ago

nah, only mods make it decent, and even then it's bad, and this is after i modded for at least 3 years

Nittdarko38d ago

Funnily enough, I'm about to play it for the first time in VR with 1000 mods to make the game playable, as is the Bethesda way
