With Oblivion remaster's announcement tomorrow what are the chances they drop a TESVI trailer?

It's just too perfect of a chance considering they can mirror the IV into VI. Also it sounds like something Todd would do.

Joke's on you it's going to be a Skyrim demake in the Oblivion engine.

[-] Moonguide@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 year ago

... Honestly, I'll take it. I preferred Oblivion's skill system anyway.

You know that good video games exist right? You can just play those instead of playing Bethesda slop

that's the only thing they could do that would be better than the skyblivion fan project

Nintendo Switch 2 announcement for Skyrim.

After Fallout 4 and Starfield, I am not looking forward to any of this shit

After all, now you can run Oblivion on any potato computer and install some mods to make it less bad

The remake exists solely to try and steal steam (and money) away from Skyblivion

[-] jackmaoist@hexbear.net 19 points 1 year ago

I think Skyblivion is free and it will be better than this because it's fanmade.

[-] FALGSConaut@hexbear.net 19 points 1 year ago

Passion project > cash grab every day of the week

[-] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago

Yeah, but Bethesda is doing this because they know some people probably don't know about Skyblivion and will just buy the remake

[-] jackmaoist@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago

And it can backfire if the new remaster is shit. It'll be like NV where a non Bethesda team ends up making something better than what Bethesda offers.

Oblivion "Remastered" is just going to be Oblivion with AI-upscaled textures. Maybe new voice work since the original game's is so bad. They will fix half of the bugs that are fixed in the most recent version of the community patch, and introduce a dozen more.

TES 6 will never release. It isn't even in development. That JPEG everyone knows about wasn't actually revealed by Bethesda, it's a deepfake that we have all developed a collective hallucination around.

That's half of what makes oblivion fun though. https://youtube.com/shorts/eoztSnj_CcU

Considering Starfield took like 8 years to come out as a completely half-assed shallow barely-even-there game and TES VI only starting full production after that launched in 2023, I'd be surprised to see anything regarding that game before like 2027. I'm gonna be there for it though, somehow these games just keep getting worse and worse. Like Starfield is such a giant step down from even like Fallout 4 I still kinda can't believe it. It can't get even worse, can it? At some point people are going to have to notice, and they'll definitely notice the more they have to compare these games to.

There's always more room at the bottom yea

[-] Le_Wokisme@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago

there's still some vestigial rpg elements they can cut.

[-] peeonyou@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago

and Fallout 4 was a drop off a cliff from Fallout New Vegas

[-] Le_Wokisme@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago

but they didn't make New Vegas. Gotta compare it to fallout 3.

hmm... lateral move imo

much better gun handling and other gameplay mechanics but the voiced protag was a mistake and like half of the new asset systems they implemented were extremely hostile to modders (we don't talk about precombines)

They really should drop another one, considering the last one was almost 7 years ago. Treatlerites are starving out there.

yeah but release price will be $150

[-] Xenomorph@hexbear.net 12 points 1 year ago

Release the remake and 6 with full mod support and it's already pre-installed with hentai mods you COWARD

[-] NoYouLogOff@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

The whole situation with Oblivion Remastered feels so strange to me. If I had to guess, Bethsoft has very little marketing budget for this game, being a remaster, so they're doing a marketing by leaks strategy. But even then the leaks are like "It could launch any day now!" And that seems like such a quick turnaround for an unannounced game, though it may have to go through platform related stuff before actually selling. Fire Emblem Engage had something similar happen, but it didn't really sell well at all.

Not really relevant to your post, but the Remaster has been on my mind.

[-] jackmaoist@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago

People are so thirsty for a TES game that this probably works

[-] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago

Todd Howard's going to announce he's in the running to become the new pope.

[-] The_Helmet_Stays_On@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It’s going to be the Oblivion remaster release date followed by a Skyrim remaster announcement then they will tease us by mentioning VI but provide no real info.

[-] ksynwa@lemmygrad.ml 8 points 1 year ago

After Starfield I look forward to not looking forward to anything by Bethesda ever

[-] grandepequeno@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago

I'm predicting at least 1 JPEG

[-] Blep@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago

0 that games not started yet

[-] daniyeg@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago

it's gonna be the same dog shit as starfield with the same bugs and the same mechanics as the games bethesda has done for the last decade or so. i mean i get the hype bigger number is better but like aside from that what's there to wait for? everyone can basically play TES VI by getting Skyrim or fallout or starfield and mod them so the title changes to elder scrolls 6 or whatever. i don't get it.

[-] combat_brandonism@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago
[-] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago

Maybe. I dunno. It's gonna be crap anyway
