Check this comparison gallery between the two Elder Scrolls titles Oblivion and its successor Skyrim. How big is the graphical leap? Or is there any?
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.
Created by Bethesda Softworks, The Elder Scrolls is hailed as one of the most groundbreaking RPG franchises.

let's hope the character models and animations are a bit... well, better this time around.
I love the obligatory cleavage comparison. XD
I put so much time into the first, I'd honestly pay for more of exactly the same, so any improvement is simply a bonus for me, graphical or otherwise.
It was probably the best value £40 I have ever spent.
Saying all that, it is nice to see that they have worked on character models and general landscaping, it's all looking particularly pretty, and the PC version on high specs should look stunning, especially with the numerous mods that will no doubt improve textures etc.
Very excited. That and ME3 in the same month. Awesome.
All i want is, bring back open cities, jump and levitation... and (I know this is already done from screenies) more unique landscape's like Morrowind. Also don't use level scaling from oblivion, use it from Fallout if you have too. Then this game is perfect.
I wouldn't call this a face-off. Just a comparison. Must be a slow news day.
