Hasn't this Bethesda helmed Oblivion remake been in the rumors and 'eventually' stage since around 2021-2022? Feel like skyblivion team has had plenty of time to get used to it at this point, but has something changed recently to make the bethesda version more relevant?
I see they're remaking the worst one first, good
Yeah, that's right, my hot take is that Oblivion fucking sucks ass and needs a remake, unlike TES 2, 3, and 5
I would certainly love to see Morrowind remake.
Oblivion is at least playable for newer gamers. It's not a good experience, but it is manageable.
Morrowind, for all its immense benefits, makes everyone who entered the game scene after 2010 scream in terror. I personally never left Balmora, because it's just a terrible experience by modern standards (graphics, character animation, controls, battle mechanics...), which is a great shame because the game seems to be great otherwise.
TES I and II, while deserving recognition, are very Doom-like in terms of gameplay, and I don't believe an adequate remake could be made, because they are so different they can't adequately be turned into a modern experience.
So, I guess for me all hopes are for Skywind, so I could finally walk the streets of Vivec without the need to fork my eyes.
Oblivion is far less playable for new players, y'all just have nostalgia blinders / mods in mind
The levelling system breaks Oblivion, violently. Nothing that awful is in Morrowind, even the "I can't hit anything with a dagger because I'm too stupid to read" doesn't come close
I can’t hit anything with a dagger because I’m too stupid to read” doesn’t come close
This happens 3 seconds into the game, and very few modern gamers will ever RTFM. It's far more likely to be a hard wall to a newcomer. I wouldn't blame them, either. Invisible stamina-based dice rolls was certainly a choice.
Oblivion's system took time to break down - long enough to actually get players invested, at least.
Nah, I started with Skyrim, and I played Oblivion without mods. It's not great, problematic in many places, but it is playable if you want to discover the story.
