I called it

[Icedfate]

I don't remember where my post was, but i know a while back, maybe at the start of this year, or last year, i said something to the effect that they might make an oblivion remaster and people told me that would be crazy, that players would hate it, that olbivion is fine right now with mods from the nexus.

but, here it is. Oblivion Remaster.

Higher system specs than Starfield. .i certainly can't run it. . .maybe 5 years from now, when i get my next rig.

The remaster being in the works has been known about for years. It was originally supposed to launch in 21 or 22.

My gaming PC is getting long in the tooth now, being 5 or 6 years old, and it runs this game perfectly well. Why people keep saying the game needs a high-spec rig, I'll never know.

[Icedfate]

because the store page says so. .
it says 16 gig minimum, 32 recommnded.
mine has 16 gig total, but some of that is taken up by the OS. I can really only comfortably run 8 gig games. i think the most demanding game i have is elden ring (store page says 12 minimum, 16 recommended) and that was pushing it to the limit. my fan was in turbo mode constantly.
I tried playing baldurs gate 3 and for some reason couldn't handle it, even though the store page says 8, i barely got past the character creation and had like 15 FPS , had to refund it.


anyway, on the thread subject, i didn't know people were talking about this for the last 4 years. I have't seen a single thread on skyrim, oblivin, morrowind, dagerfall forums about this remaster.

I just remember a while back saying i wouldn't be surprised if they did this and people told me i was crazy and now here it is.

like, where were they talking about it? facebook? twitter? i haven't used facebook in over a decade and have never had a twitter X account. I have never tweeted and will never make an Xcretion.

hate to burst your bubble but people have been talking about a bethesda-made remaster for years, at least since skyblivion first started development

There's a thing called graphical settings... Lower them.

Sure, remaking games is wild concept

store page says 16 minimum. that signals to me that i would need 16 even at the lowest settings

Why does everyone keep saying you need a high end rig? I have a low to mid range rig, 6 years old, and the game runs smooth as butter. I be running Linux as well.

Cause they are running it at higher than 1080p without DLSS + frame gen cranked up to the nuts, and the settings not at the very lowest across the board.

You should upload a video of your gameplay to YouTube with the FPS counter + frame time graph showing.

I have 16 gb too (should absolutely upgrade it to 32gb asap, eventually). It's still working on High settings and Medium Raytracing and DLSS balanced at 1080p. Never went above 16 limit. But then I also close ALL unnecessary apps I don't need now such as GOG and browser (still works if need alt-tab and look at something in browser, then close it).

16 gb is working fine for me. All these things the system (win11) only use 4-5 gb.

[Icedfate]

look, i just read the store page. I haven't bought and installed and tried to run it.

the thread was just about that i predicted they might do a remaster.

one response claims that "everyone knew about it for the past 4 years" and that i'm the only one living under a rock, but Gameranx made a video recently, about 10 new things in this version and they say "bethesde shadowdropped this on us", suggesting that people kinda didn't know about it.

the point is that i didn't know they were gonna do this, but i predicted it.
you can choose to believe me or choose not to.


for clarity. this is not a troll post. it's not negativity.
I just thought it was funny, because i said "watch them do a remaster, like they did with skyrim" and bam, they did one.

I admit, i probably would buy this if i had a reasonable amount of confidence i could run it.
yeah, i can buy it, try it , then refund it, but then the refund goes into steam wallet and yeah. .i'll just wait 5 years till my current rig dies and then go out and by like, a 64 gig rig or whatever they have 5 years from now.
and then i'll be having the same conversation when devs start dropping in 128 gig remasters. . .

Lol I feel you. 128 gig game...
