Remaster or Skyblivion?

[zephydel]

I want to try both but I leaning more towards Skyblivion.

I'll be surprised if Skyblivion still ends up releasing. I bet they finally get a cease and desist, after all these years.

Doubtful. Bethesda gave them their blessing, and even gave the entire dev team free copies of the remaster.

Skyblivion for me.
4 hours into remaster I dropped it, performance is abysmal.
Open world goes 30-45 fps, like it's a damn trampoline, up and down constantly.

Dungeons (grand total of 2 done) were fine. 70+ fps, stable.
Changing graphical settings did f*** all, setting DLSS from Balanced to ultra performance gave me whooping 10fps while making game look significantly worse.

Still hoping skyblivion gets released this year, would like to play Oblivion with improved looks.

I guess it is because the remaster is like running two games at once.

Yep.
I assume they'll patch it eventually, but for now I'm staying away.
Ironically, I got game pass to play Oblivion remaster, dropped it same day I installed it, switched to Clair Obscur (never even heard of it before installing it) and loved every second of it.

So something good in the end.
Remaster looks damn amazing, shame performance is terrible.

Remaster is still badly optimized. They ported their creation engine code on to UE5, but the old bugs still remain. Performance is all over the place. People are blaming UE5, but actually it's not the case. UE5 is a monster of an engine and just blind porting old code on to it is not the right way.

Second, as someone who has played the game multiple times (and this is subjective)... I feel paying almost full $ on the same game isn't worth it. After about an hour into the game when all the "Wow great Graphics!!" was over, it was like ... hmm "been there, done that".

I would wait till the price drops and things get optimized.

Skyblivion guys have really put their hearts into it. Added a lot of stuff. Really looking forward to it.

Yeah your computer can flawlessly run red dead redemption 2 (which has far better graphics than oblivion) and barely run oblivion remastered. Not sure how you can so badly optimize a game like that.

Is that official info or some speculation? I am still worried about Skyblivion, since they wanted to release it this year and in the light of Remaster.

It's official information, Bethesda gave free copies of the remaster to the skyblivion devs, and have allowed it to exist this entire time.

But it's unlikely skyblivion releases this year. they just finished the Exteriors a couple months ago and said they need to nav mesh the world. I dont think the devs realize that the nav meshing and the last 5% of the game development is the longest part.

If it does release this year I'd imagine it'll be extremely buggy with tons of broken quests due to AI navigation of the nav meshing.

Cool! Thanks for info! Well, there was always a question if Bethesda will do the thing and shut project down but I guess if they would there would be a huge backlash. Now they have issue since Skyblivion will bring more content to the game and I can bet, given how optimized Skyrim SE engine has been by lovely modders that it will run smoothly for majority of people while still look good. Unlike plenty of games released in recent years on PC.

I'm pretty sure Skyblivion devs know what they are doing. Remember, it's fan project, that will be avaliable for free for owners of Oblivion and Skyrim. No need to bash them. Lets be positive and hope for the best, since we all want to play a good games/mods.

I am getting horrid texture pop in everywhere I go.

[Crusader (Banned13x)]

Skyblivion.

Remaster has horrible performance, modern elements, and some ugly reinterpretations.

Skyblivion still at least has hope, and seems to be made with passion by real OG fans.

[TheCr33pur]

Feel sorry for those bought the remastered, huge waste of money. That game has the same code, except just visual and UI have changed.

There are players doesnt have good pc or rig, even dont know how to set it up and ended up crashing cause of over heat mostly.

I havent played this in years, not sure when i will crawl back in there. But i need to look into Skyblivion and see what going on there.
