Why is everyone glazing this game?

[jeph_os]

I don't get the hype. I Put a solid few hours into it and its literally just base oblivion with a few QOL mods wearing an unreal engine 5 body suit.

People are eating this ♥♥♥♥ up but at the end of the day this is just an unreal engine 5 equivalent of RTX remix for oblivion, a 2005 game for 3 x the price you can get the original.

I imagine we're going to see a lot more old games remastered in this way with unreal engine 5 in the future? Is this really what people want?

Seem to be getting a lot of hostile replies to this idk why people are being so defensive just because I'm being negative. I think it's fair to assume other companies will probably do this with their games after the success of the remaster and I think that's worth discussing, right?

Why ask questions you know the answer to?
Oblivion. Better than Skyrim, Worse than Morrowind. Good enough to praise it.

It's a remaster. It's meant to look better and keep the base game intact with minor improvements.

That's the entire point.

If they remastered Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas like this, I would definitely be up for that.

edit: and Morrowind too

£50 for a 2005 game with a glorified texture pack is kind of insane though is it not?

Coming from someone who cant even afford the $50 for the game...

Seeing the latest results, and even the results of this game, the entire pc and console playerbase doesn't give a damn about artistic and graphical quality.

All I see is a poorly used UE5, with a lot of graphical problems, and a poorly polished, quickly launched game in UE5.

Thanks to the playerbase, which buys games like this for 70 euros imagine what's in store for you in the future... And don't try to complain that it's expensive, you'll be immediately mocked by all the “players”

2025 another terrible year for video gaming

Its because it brings back some older systems in the elder scroll series that was removed for skyrim to make it more.. accessible for sales. Where its more of a true old style rpg rather then a power fantasy game where your a master of everything and zero downsides for being leader of everything.

Morrowind was epic :/ No free travel, unless you visit mage guild with real portal. Immensive story, no ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ arrow to point you on the quest, you was forced to read the quest and follow the hint. It was a majestic game, he deserver a remake with a new engine and graphics. Good old game

Mass psychosis.

I don't get the hype either. Graphics are super modern but otherwise the artstyle behind it is meh, which makes the graphics bad and ugly regardless of the effort put into them. Looks like the original has been dumbed down into... oblivion, lol (pun intended).

It's not the player base, are the "gamer influencer" that make this possibile. For some extra view, that give them cash, they sold their soul to the scummy game company now, that don't need to release a full polished finished game, but just something that work. Mod and times will fix the game probably, meanwhile they get fresh cash for other unfinished project. Gamer industry it's the cancer now, with Twich on the main line with all the streamer that praise everything if they get payed.

Oblivion is 9/10 game. Fresh coat paint on it and you have a masterpiece. Its perfect blend of good gameplay and funny jank, that and you have hella fun quests for 100+ hours.

It honestly just looks like an unreal engine 5 asset flip using the corpse of oblivion 2005 gamebryo engine as its back bone and the masses are lapping it up.

you don't get a say or opinion on how others choose to spend their own money. if someone pays £50 then it's not insane to them.
