Anyone else putting their money on Skyblivion instead?
I can see a place for both. Remake may hold specific things true of the original, like certain glitches and stuff that the fans held dear. Skyblivion may be a less faithful remake because of the Skyrim engine, but could end up being a more polished version given the modding environment is extensively known and they’ve had to recreate it from the ground up.
I could also be entirely wrong on both accounts lol, time will tell. I’m absolutely holding off on the Bethesda remake until I see some reviews of it, just to make sure it isn’t a quick dirty remake for cash.
Do you really think they took the time to study the original to a point where they are going to reproduce not only the good, but the “bad”: the glitches, the quirks? I don’t understand how you can remake an game of such a large scale in such a short time
It’s not a remake. They bolted on a new graphics stack (unreal engine iirc), everything else is more or less the aame
Don’t they need to redo the 3D models and stuff? I mean…do NOT tell me they used a shitty LLM to upgrade the models and kept the rest…
They’d have to redo the models or it would look the same, yeah. But all of the weird mechanics and jankiness come from the creation engine and that’s still there doing everything except graphics.
Wait what?!
Still officially a rumor but there’s lots of articles about it, here’s one https://www.gamingbible.com/news/elder-scrolls-oblivion-unreal-engine-5-remake-screenshots-leak-024722-20250415
I am unless this remaster is something immaculate
Do you honestly hope it could be? I can’t for the life of me convince myself it’s going to be ANY good. I sincerely think it’s a joke. Or a bad pun. Or a deliberate attempt at stealing the show from skyblivion…
No, I do not. I don’t have much faith left in Bethesda.
Welp, for a second there, I thought I had found someone with a little hope left in them :) but let’s rejoice, for we have 2 of the best games ever made coming soon. And let’s admit it was indeed Bethesda which made them, many a year ago.
The bright side is that if they outsourced it the company that did the leg work still cares. I suppose that could be a hope. I’ll still probably wait for Skybilivion.
