WTF, Oblivion Remaster literally just dropped right now. Not just the trailer, THE GAME just dropped
can any of you bourgeois mofos buy it and tells us if it's good? I'm rock hard
>Oblivion remastered just dropped
>/v/ is kill
I can't process this information on my own
>>41793people on /v/ would probably be complaining about the west falling, because 'male' and 'female' has changed to 'body type 1' and 'body type 2' in the remaster.
>$50 USD for an almost 20 year old game
>>41797but it is remastered
>>41797It' was literally around 50 bucks back in 2006.
>>41795Lmao this
Utterly unusable
>this nostalgia bait instead of a ES6
>>41795They're not wrong.
>>41809How? It's a dumb change.
I hope this becomes more common, just announce a game when you have it ready, maybe do a dev log if you wanna give sneak peeks, but otherwise trailers should coinside with release.
This is delightful news. What is different from original Oblivion? Is the a list of changes somewhere?
I can't watch trailer because of age restriction and my stupid youtube account is asking me for phone verification out of the blue and my phone is broken.
>>41814I don't want to contribute to capitalism.
>>41813Ok I found a guy streaming it rn. The graphics look pretty nice. I didn't really play Skyrim, but looks a lot better than that one too(as you'd expect since that game came out a while ago too)
The character models look pretty good. Probably using the same assets from Star Citzen for the people and animations and stuff. Looks like they're using some photogrammetry assets in the caves that look really nice. The world map still looks pretty ass tho. Pretty lazy. These gobblestones still look literally painted on. Really not up to modern standards.
>>41816its unreal engine 5 so it will look really nice especially on ultra settings
>>41792I'll pirate and torrent it but I bet I'll be a goyslop flop and BG3 will mog it
>>41818i liked bg3 but it was kind of goyslop
this will have the sovl of an old game
>>41818I hope it does well. I want to see a more of this, taking some older, ambitious but flawed game, and releasing a polished version of it.
>>41819If it's as shitty and sloppy as Skyrim no way it'll compete with BG3
>>41820bg2 enhanced edition is my favorite game ever, we should all try it
>>41821oblivion is much better than skyrim
>>41822I'll give it a try once it's cracked
oblivion was never good. bethesda is a garbage tier developer. the last good thing they made was morrowind. their rabid fanbase is a sociological phenomenon that needs to be studied. is it just nostalgia? is it sunken cost fallacy? a cia op? we may never know
it looks like ass
>>41822>bg2 enhanced edition is my favorite game ever, we should all try itI tried only BG1 enhanced edition, and it was a very poor "enhancement". The core mechanics of that game are fundamentally ill-designed. It is video game, it shouldnt slavishly stick to pen-and-paper ruleset.
yall im broke as shit until july can someone help a homie out
>>41824 (me)
also, bethesda is one again doing the thing where the appropriate mods made by their very strangely dedicated fanbase, tweaking them a bit, bundling them with their dogshit game and selling that as a "remastered" version. they've done this like 20 times with skyrim. bethesda fans must be legitimately retarded.
>>41826>it shouldnt slavishly stick to pen-and-paper ruleset.it is literally virtual D&D. that's kinda the point. If you enjoyed D&D at the time that game came out, not only would it not feel "ill-designed" but it would feel second nature.
if the combat is the same, i'm not interested.
>>41793you know exactly how /v/ would react because they react to every game the exact same way
>>41834>deep state>but chud orange is in chargeWut?
just played two hours of it, it's…. le good?
>>41836Did they crack it already?
How much better or worse is it compared to the OG?
>>41838Do you have a link?
>>41841Just Check the steam page dumbass.
>>41834Renaming body types from male/female to 1 and 2 is dumb if you're not going to include 3, 4, 5, 6, etc. Seen some games actually do that where you have multiple variations in the build and that's genuinely much better anyway since it makes the characters less samey and boring.
Having a lot of fun so far, excited to see what the new Umbra model will look like. Also like how you slow down when going up mountains, feels more realistic but also might get annoying later. How are you guys enjoying it so far?
>>41839Pretty much a direct upgrade, only thing missing is all the mods. Also requires a pretty nice computer to run well
>>41845I mean a torrent for the cracked version you chud
>>41810Because labeling a "masculine" looking body as male and a "feminine" looking body as female is an unnecessary generalization. You can have XX chromossomes and look very manly. Not to mention that "looking masculine" and "looking feminine" are highly arbitrary.
>>41852>Because labeling a "masculine" looking body as male and a "feminine" looking body as female is an unnecessary generalizationAnd?
>>41855And you're customizing your character's looks, not their chromosomes.
>>41858What the fuck are you talking about?
>>41859Why are you authoritatively engaging in a conversation you're not equipped to understand?
>>41860
Who the fuck said anything about choosing your chromosomes?
In character creators you choose between a male and female body type.
>>41862The terms "male" and "female" imply sexual characteristics, especially in the context of a character creation screen. The terms "masculine" and "feminine" would be more appropriate, since you're not editing the character's chromosomes or genitals in Oblivion.
>>41866>The terms "male" and "female" imply sexual characteristics,Uh duh? Male characters don't have breasts while females do in oblivion.
>>41862and i'm sorry for the condescension in my previous post, that was cringe
>body type 1 & 2 bullshit
Dropped, figures they'd fuck something as easy as this up
>>41859theyre saying that we dont even need to consider trans people in order to validate the decision.
intersex people are, as usual, a real group of people who are not trans and are naturally born with non binary bodies, and as a result, their existence pretty much instantly validates any decisions to stop putting hard gender labels on customizable characters.
Some women also just plain look manly
some men just plain look feminine
some men DO have tits. some women lack tits and have broad shoulders.
Without even mentioning trans people we know for an absolute fact that there are men who dont fit into male gender roles or aesthetics, and there are women who don't fit into female gender roles or aesthetics.
We can also bring up people who have procedures or therapy done who DON'T identify as trans. I personally know several men with dicks that take estrogen and wear skirts and have long hair and still choose to identify as male. i also know many women who take testosterone and wear short hair and have top surgery who still identify as female.
The simple truth is that the PLAYER should be the one to decide who their character is. even if the percentage of those groups I mentioned above is very small, it's a VERY easy and simple change that has ZERO impact on your life if you are not a member of the above groups, and can be a GREAT addition if you are one of those groups.
…and NOW we can just go ahead and mention that trans people exist, now that we've mentioned a few other obvious reasons that you cant politicize it in order to get the attention that you clearly never got from your friends or family.
>>41867Breasts aren't sex specific; Gynecomastia is a very common condition in males (over 30% of men have massive fucking tiddies). Do you ever go outside? Have you never seen a man with moobs? I'm not sorry for my condescension anymore.
>>41872Dude it's okay you lost the argument you don't have to be disingenious in order to save face you can just leave the thread.
>>41871What the fuck are you talking about?
>>41874so do you often pretend to be illiterate when someone points out how stupid you are?
either go to 4chan or go to home depot and purchase about 6 feet of rope.
>>41875>go to home depot and purchase about 6 feet of rope.Sorry, i haven't transitioned yet.
>>41876why are you even here
you clearly dont belong here, and pretending you do is just gonna make your life even more depressing.
rope isnt just for us transhumanists, anon. it's also for inbred retards like you.
>>41873I literally just refuted your argument and you ignored it. Address the fact that over 30% of males have tiddies. It is a
fact that tits are not sex specific, not an opinion.
>>41878Why doesn't the male character in oblivion have gynecomastia?
>>41879he does if you use the body that has tits
>>41881oh okay then maybe a wizard did it
funny thing about magic is that it actually INCREASES the amount of reasons a man can have tits.
I'm here
ONCE AGAIN celebrating another internet debate
VICTORY. I want to thank my beautiful parents, my beautiful dog, and the beautiful chihuahua enjoyers all over this beautiful website(❤). May this moment be forever remembered as the millionth time that the
GREAT chihuahua poster won an internet debate
>>41881lmao, lost the discussion
>>41882A wizard did not do anything.
can my potato pc run this
>>41884ive decided he did
also he's trans, and his boyfriend is a trans woman with it/its pronouns
fuck you, sensitive ass snowflake
🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
🏆
>>41886 🏆
🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
i'm also giving you a trophy for dealing the
FINAL BLOWS in this internet debate
>>41887what an absolute pussy
imagine being so fucking pathetic and having so little going on in your life that you even have time to consider what other people identify as.
imagine being so incredibly mindless that you even have the time to get upset about what word a video game uses for "has boobs"
youre pathetic tbh
>>41883i see no reason to celebrate, chihuaha poster, the oblivion remake runs like shit on the steam deck. gamers lost today.
I have gyno :(
>>41816>Star CitzenDamn, I almost forgot about that game, did it turn out to be a scam?
>oblivion without the years of mods to carry it
i'll pirate it in a few years
>>41890 i'm on ur side, homie, stop fumbling the bag! we won the debate
>>41891 this sucks, I hope they make a Steam Deck mode or something. And I think that a Steam Deck mode would be the only way to make it perform and look reasonable on a Steam deck, since the game seems to have been made with lumen and nanite in mind, which are two of the most demanding UE5 features
>>41792Will my RX 590 run this game or will i have to finally get a job to buy a better gpu??
>>41915But you play above 1080p right???
>>41927>celebrationyou mean sponsored ?
>>41934nah, any sponsors are clearly marked
>>41846not, it is perfectly fine because it doesn't force on the player the association between body type and sex/gender
>>41914I mean… why not just play the original? It is not like they added new mechanics or really anything besides graphics.
Honestly I'm more impressed by the daggerfall remake.
>>41939I thought they changed the leveling system a bit and added/changed some voice acting
Looks like shit
>>41939Oblivion had indefensively dogshit level system.
>>41943You forget that games from 20 years ago are played with mods by default
>>41944I didnt. Tried looking into mods, didnt find leveling overhauls on nexus satisfactory, and they require dozen other mods being installed to work properly. It is a hassle I dont have patience for.
>>41945Your loss, they much higher quality than the remaster patch bethesda applied
>intersex people are, as usual, a real group of people
No, you're not. Internet people are not real people.
>>41871>I personally know several men with dicks that take estrogen and wear skirts and have long hair and still choose to identify as male. i also know many women who take testosterone and wear short hair and have top surgery who still identify as female.Why? Why do you know all these people?
>>41816That is the most random bullshit statement I've heard in a long time. Why the fuck would they have anything to do with scam citizen?
>>41963Have you even finished elementary school? This is the most basic biology knowledge.
>>41970I meant star field. Blame the uninspired space names.
>>41972My bad.
From the release video it seems everything was done from scratch in unreal engine 5 by a French studio. So I doubt they used anything from Bethesda studios.
>>41973it was co-developped by the Paris studio of Virtuos and Bethesda
I'm too poor to get it but my younger brother said its good. He showed me and hes liking it so far and hes a big elder scrolls fan so I trust him
>>41792they'll just keep releasing the same games until we're all dead, imagine a broken Bethesda games running on top of the line 2025 hardware, it'll burn a house or two
had they enhanced the game to feel actually alive with all the features for the original one they would've done something amazing, is just nostalgia for nerds with too much money and gaming bandwagoners
>>41989There's no way Todd Howard and his boomer buddies would have greenlit a fucking UE5 TES remake without major arm-twisting from Zenimax. This is a publisher mandate after the middling release of Starfield and the lack of any progress on a new mainline Elder Scrolls game.
I miss /tesg/
>>419979/10
Looks like my son Ash
>>41996We shall make a new one
I can't believe they just put a coat of paint on the game and sold it to people for 80 :DD
>>41792it looks and runs like shit
>>42064because unreal engine wasn't made for open world games. the studios that do use it for this spent years developing ad-hoc solutions to enable the engine to handle it
I hear its 120 gigs? In the bin it goes
>>42077more games will be remade in unreal 5 until morale improves
>>42077It doesn't even have pre-rendered movies. That's just textures. Do you want high res textures or not?
>>42059Its literally free, figure it out
>>41797>>42059>>41989I don't even know where this meme comes from when Bethesda did only one rerelease of Skyrim, and that was offered as a free upgrade to PC users and it being not free for console users was the result of anti-consumer practices of the console manufacturers themselves.
Other big devs like Capcom and Konami do rereleases all the time with their games, yet barely anyone talks about it in the same way.
>>42091Because capcom rereleases are actually the whole game reinvented just look at RE4 remake that shit is a masterpiece
>>42084I can't believe all the gaymers worldwide united and drove mr howard to bankruptcy in a show of solidarity against the horde of shitty graphical remakes
>>42091Release timeline
2011Original release
2013"Legendary Edition"
2016Special Edition
2017Skyrim VR, Switch version
2018Very Special Edition
2021"Anniversary Edition"
>A parody of Skyrim's numerous ports and re-releases, titled Skyrim: Very Special Edition, was released by Bethesda at their E3 2018 press conference for Amazon Alexa, stating it would be also released for the Etch A Sketch, Motorola pagers and Samsung smart refrigerators.[64] Please look at me in the face and repeat what you said without smiling.
>>42094>>41792Disgusting abuse of renterism. Oblivion was a great game, but I doubt the price tag is worth it.
>>42101it's on game pass also, or could just pirate
>>42091>Other big devs like Capcom and Konami do rereleases all the time with their games, yet barely anyone talks about it in the same way.Capcom does full blown remakes. The RE4 remake that came out most recently is literally remade from the ground up, just recycling the skeleton of the story. This on the other hand is literally the same game and engine but with Unreal running over it to give it shinier graphics.
>>42102I don't like pirating, I want to own it forever and show off to the steam friends I never talk to
>>42105>ownyou're only licensing the right to play it on steam, cuck
>>42108Yeah I know it just makes me feel better
>>42131nobody knows how to optimize games anymore lol
>>42132Maybe if the tariff nonsense goes on for a few years and storage/memory prices go through the roof devs will be forced to learn
>>41932Jesus Christ that’s pretty. Too bad I only have a Xbox one, been too poor to buy any next gen consoles.
>>42165>fitgirlIt's legit but lmao
>>42165Isn't fitgirl a zionist? I boycott her out of morals but considering her backgrounds I wouldn't put behind her sneaking spywares for israeli agencies
>>42208>Unreal slop>optimalLol lmfao even
>>42207>Isn't fitgirl a zionist?She ain't, refer to my older post in the pirate thread:
https://leftypol.org/games/res/40383.html#q40435 >>42207luckily for you, she only bundles chinese spyware judging by the image lol
>>42132dev teams understand optimization and big O notation it's that studio execs enforce strict deadlines before devs can go back and optimize their shit. It's the same reason nobody writes unit tests either. also are you really going to go out of your way to optimize your code when you know the retards porkies who own the company won't pay you better or reward you for it? It's much better to let the game ship buggy on day 1 so they can pay you for a few more months to debug it before laying you off. think about it.
why is this even news
have we really not gotten a better, or even similar game since Oblivion?
has the entire genre just been dead?
>>42239yes,the fall of avalon isn't even out and the demo is shit
>>42239>>42241well, there's kingdom cum 2, which is kinda like elder scrolls games…
but i wish it was easier to make a scrolls like game, but an indie scrolls-like game would probably be a very risky investment, since elder scrolls games are kind of fundamentally excessively ambitious. They have so many different systems and features. Even if you try to make a version with very simple indie stylized visuals, it would have to feature NPCs with daily routines, and enterable buildings with tons of interactive objects, and a criminal system where you go to jail and shit, on top of being an open world rpg, which is already a very labor intensive type of game to make even without all of these crazy features
>>42289it's called dwarf fortress
>>42289I would like to see one but with like lesser graphics. I've seen some nice lower poly models from some indie people and in /adg/ threads and it could be cool to see a game with those.
>>41824>the last good thing they made was morrowindI think that game was only good on accident, like the first two Star Wars movies
You guys think argonians would be really good at eating ass? They got long tongues and can probably open their jaws real wide too
>>42307Series really fell off after Arena
