The upcoming Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion remake, reportedly developed by Virtuos and powered by Unreal Engine 5, is set to feature significant graphical and gameplay overhauls, making it a full-fledged reimagining rather than a simple remaster.

Bethesda finally upgrades from its Creation Engine.
“Well, that only took 20 f*cking years!”
I’m more interested in how it runs through Unreal. Would be interesting to see if this was a test bed for future change at Bethesda themselves, even if it is an external studio,
I’m excited. Oblivion was incredible because it was a fantasy world that I wanted to be in. Skyrim was so cold and damp, whereas Oblivion was more varied and felt like the home I’ve never had.
As long as max acrobat skill still lets me leap over buildings, I’m open to gameplay changes.
I used to zap enemies with stacked increase speed spells and watch them kill themselves flying off small hills
Yeah my argonian just hopped everywhere.
The idea of remaking Oblivion is crazy.
Isn’t what everyone loves about this game the weird dialogue and presentation style? Hard to imagine how they remake this game and make everyone happy with the final result.
It will end up just like the RE2 Remake and Silent Hill 2 Remake. The new people who never played the original will love it, but fans of the original will either hate it or be mixed on it. But publishers literally do not care about existing customers, so they won’t care what existing fans have to say on it as long as the new people buy it. Reviewers will overrate the remakes because the original was so highly regarded. Same story as most remakes, really.
I loved the RE2 Remake, but indeed didn’t play the original. I did play the original RE4 though and the remake absolutely nailed it
publishers literally do not care about existing customers
I’d disagree on this, if they didn’t care about existing customers they’d be making new games instead of remaking games that people already know and like! Sure they might not care about the small fraction of existing customers with very strong opinions, but the market of “oh I remember that game!” is much more lucrative.
I’ll still play it. It’s my favorite game ever and I’m curious how this will look.
