Bethesda are finally going to show it. Rumors are that this will be shadowdropped (releases on the same day)

            If they C&D’d skyblivion now only to offer their own remaster it would turn a lot of people off of it, they’ll wait until a few months after the remasters release, once they’ve gotten the bulk of their sales in and aren’t worried about the PR backlashing cutting sales they’ll drop the hammer on the skyblivion team.

    Booooooo… So not today. I’m doubting the same day drop. Knowing marketing asshats they’ll want to run a week or more of advertising first especially if they’re calling this a reveal. :/

      Ye ah, they might have it drop next week. At the very least we know it should release by the end of the month.

          It’s been leaked by dozens of reliable sources, the same ones that told us Oblivion was getting remastered two months ago.

          They’re “shadow dropping” it. It’ll be a very quick release after reveal.

      They’ve been running weeks of marketing now.

      Don’t even for a second think those articles from ‘games journalists’ (marketers) were organic and that things ‘leaked’ - this has been a marketing campaign.

      I’m hoping for remake. The game needs to abandon (or at least rework) their level scaling. It’s by far the worst implementation it that I’ve ever seen.

      Then make everything less orange, shiny, and bulbous.

        I actually restarted halfway through because I leveled up so much that every enemy (even animals) were miserable to fight.

        I realized you only leveled up when you slept so I just never slept. Game was way easier.

      Don’t think we know for sure how updated it is until tomorrow. Mod support is another big question mark

          I don’t think there’s a shot that there is zero mod support. It’s Bethesda’s bread and butter. What I’m wondering is will old mods be compatible/portable? Rumor is the game is running old gamebryo engine logic alongside UE. Looking forward to seeing what this actually is tomorrow

            It’s Bethesda’s bread and butter.

            I think the gaming community severely overstates the amount of people that mods their games. I wouldn’t be surprised if less than 20% of Skyrim’s players have ever used mods, and I’m damn sure having mod support or not wouldn’t have any considerable change on their sales.

          So the combat and leveling systems have been reworked, but aside from that it’s largely unchanged mechanics wise, from what I can gather. I just booted it up 5 mins ago so I can share more impressions in a few hours

      Every leak points to a remaster, using gamebryo for the game’s logic and UE5 for the rendering part. Some leaks also mentioned it’ll have an updated HUD, archery, stamina and blocking mechanics, but we don’t know anything else.

        They can’t just be rendering on top, the visuals would clash with collisions. Some of the assets we’ve seen in captures are different enough from their legacy counterparts that they would cause all sorts of issues while playing. Also, they wouldn’t be able to increase the forest density, because trees have collisions. So it’s at least a remaster within gamebryo (which seems most likely to me, because it’s tailor-made for this kind of game) or a more profound remake within another engine (needless troubles, if you ask me, most unlikely).

    I’ve mostly been ignoring these Oblivion remake posts. I’ll believe it’s actually gonna happen when/if they actually drop it in the next 24-48 hours. I actually don’t give a shit, and it’s one of my favorite games.

        Been playing nonstop since it came out. I’m already level 30, almost done with Mages Guild and nothing else.

        It’s back.

      I’m with you there. It’s going to be cool and I really want it, but I’ve already completed it a bunch. I’m never going to be able to get properly excited like I would for ES6

    Im definitely interested in seeing how this came out. In the Day 10 patch world we live in I’m definitely not going to try it for awhile though.

        I bet the OG Oblivion scene gets a new spark because of this. It’s still going strong as it is.

        I’ve been playing Morrowind, and it’s still a great game. Script Extender or OpenMw, choose your modern flavor. The quests and flow of the game is excellent.

    I wonder how the loading screens will be, that was the main thing that kept me from Starfield.

    Did UE5 help beyond “pretty”?
