They think modders would rescue this one.
TBF i finally finished oblivion thanks tonthe remake, the possibility of play using my gamepad natively and the changes to the graphics and art style (come from no art direction to have some art direction), finally allow mw to finish the main quest.
Of course, i didn’t corrected the poor writing, the repetitive gameplay and dungeons and the shallow quest design…
Still wait for Skyblivion, and the best Cyrodiil experience i have it was on Project Cyrodiil: Abecean Shores for Morrowind
Wow its like when it came out and I said that Bethesda was just trying to do a shitty cash grab version of Skyblivion, and all the corpo simps told me that this was awesome actually… oh well wow, how surprising, they were wrong.
Support your friendly local mod team, they’re likely just actually better at making Bethesda games than Bethesda is.
While your criticisms are not undeserved, Bethesda had no hand in the making of this game.
Bethesda owns the elder scrolls series, no one can make an elder scrolls game without their approval.
Yes, that is exactly what I’m saying.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Elder_Scrolls_IV:_Oblivion_Remastered
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered is a 2025 action role-playing game co-developed by Virtuos and Bethesda Game Studios and published by Bethesda Softworks.
…
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered was co-developed by Virtuos’ Paris studio and Bethesda Game Studios. Both studios began development of the remaster in 2021.
No, u.
🤦 that’s because Bethesda owns the ip. Virtuos did all the heavy lifting.
It was co-developed, by two studios.
One of those studios is the main Bethesda studio.
Bethesda had no hand in the making of this game.
That’s what you said, and it is categorically false.
So now you’re shifting the goal posts.
… You could just admit you were wrong, and have an honest conversation, or, you can keep backpedalling and minimizing your mistakes, in hopes that I and anyone else who reads this just forgets.
I’m not shifting the goal posts or trying to turn this into a hissy fit you’re trying to create.
Bethesda themselves have been on record calling this “Virtuos’ game”.
Ahah! And you believe them?
We’re done talking.
You are so strange.
Hey answer me one last question before you fuck off, why in the game’s own credits is it stated " A Virtuos production"?
I’m just waiting for Skyblivion, a true remake
They already remastered it once. What do expect… a re-remaster?!?!
Please Todd, you have the opportunity to do the funniest thing ever…
"We launched Oblivion Remastered, and we heard you. You wanted more fixes, less bugs, and more improvements, and oh boy do I have something for you!
Now for only $69.99 pause for laughter we have Oblivion reremastered!"
Genuine question. Who even plays these slopmasters?
Better question, who pays for these? I play, but I don’t pay.
Very good point!
Classic Bethesda!
🎶 Go ooon take the money 'n run 🎶
People need to remember that Microsoft now owns Bethesda. You need to apply the same “every other version is good” mentality to their releases. So:
- Oblivion - pretty good
- Oblivion Remastered - shite
- Whatever they decide to call the next release of Oblivion - pretty good
Of course, these days I’d just expect the to release Copilot for Oblivion and call it a day.
Coplivion
You joke, but I’m looking forward to Skyblivion
Well, Bethesda isn’t actually involved in that, so it’ll be of much higher quality either way…
Lol. People have learned nothing.
The original oblivion was bad.
Current Microsoft is bad.
This is not surprising.
There are better games to spend time with.
It just works 🤷
Reminds me of the Games for Windows Live days.
shudders
Imagine the amount of people that will be spending money on the new Xbox-PC hybrid & Xbox mode on Windows. The great scam-a-geddon is coming. Games for Windows Live 2: CoPilot Edition.
It’s literally the most unstable, buggy, crash-prone piece of software I’ve ever used. I completed the game and got 100% of the cheevos, but it took me about 400% longer than it should have because I was having to relaunch the game every 5-10 minutes (not exaggerating, that’s how often it crashed).
Its truly amazing that I’ve seen basically this as a representative comment left on every single Bethesda game in the last 20 years.
… They just suck at writing code.
Its that simple, they’re terrible programmers.
Like yeah, they were due some leeway back in the old wild west days, back when they were basically a startup.
… Its 20 fucking years later, and everything is roughly the same amount of broken, despite them having more money than some small countries.
Its just a money laundering operation at this point.
Why bother then?
People are so weird about achievements, man… Just don’t do them if it’s so laborious
Mental illness.
How does it compare to the original without community patches in terms of bugs and crashes?
Man, I stopped playing because an update broke my mods and I couldn’t be bothered fixing them at the time. Could’ve been playing safely for the last year.
Stop asking for and buying remakes. It’s always like this.
It’s not always like this tho. There are exceptions and some very well done remastered editions.
The one that surprised me the most was Command & conquer. The amount of love they put in that remastered was such that made me buy an EA game (that one) for the first time since command & conquer tiberium wars.
Under MS and Bethesda IP ownership, we also had Quake remasters by Nightdive Studios and MachineGames, with stellar performance, rich additional content and crossplay. It’s not an undertaking comparable to openworld RPGs I suppose, in it’s assets alone, but that’s on management that should’ve given an according amount of time and resources to do it justice, and to observe what Bethesda does at each stage of production.
Trails in the Sky FC remake begs to differ.
oh wow. I had played and stopped after hitting a glitch and had not come back yet. to bad.
