The timing might be a coincidence, but it feels like it's intended to take the wind out of Skyblivion's sails.

I hate Bethesda, so I hope this flops tbh.

[-] tim_curry@hexbear.net 20 points 3 months ago

I feel like skyblivion is gonna have more love and passion put into it. This will be broken shit day 1 then never get fixed

[-] Tiocfaidhcaisarla@hexbear.net 14 points 3 months ago

That's what I'm thinking. Skyblivion is going with concept art for things left out or things stated in the lore that the original ignored, like making the city of Leyawiin an actual port city that ships can actually pass through and expanding dungeons that are copy-pasted in vanilla. The things you get without the profit motive and with passion instead.

Oblivion ported to Skyrim's engine, ability to travel between Skyrim and Cyrodil on one character, similar to Tale of two Wastes and Morroblivion and Skywind.

[-] Robert_Kennedy_Jr@hexbear.net 19 points 3 months ago

Skywind probably has a few years to go, I think the last update had them around 75% done.

[-] Tiocfaidhcaisarla@hexbear.net 10 points 3 months ago

They've stated it will come out by the end of this year

[-] TC_209@hexbear.net 7 points 3 months ago

That's Skyblivion, the fan-made Oblivion-in-Skyrim-SE's-engine mod; Skywind is the fan-made Morrowind-in-Skyrim-SE's-engine mod. Skywind has a little more left to be done compared to Skyblivion.

[-] Robert_Kennedy_Jr@hexbear.net 13 points 3 months ago

I actually just thought this was Skyblivion at first glance because it's very close to release.

[-] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 10 points 3 months ago

Isn't the rumor that this will play pretty much like Oblivion with some changes? Skyblivion should be less worse.

[-] Xenomorph@hexbear.net 23 points 3 months ago

Wanking and cranking my big ol' hog just thinking about the "better titties and ass for kawaii anime bodies" mods that're going to be worked on TODAY.

[-] Robert_Kennedy_Jr@hexbear.net 19 points 3 months ago

Can't wait to spend 2 weeks curating the perfect mod list and then playing for a couple hours before getting bored.

[-] Xenomorph@hexbear.net 18 points 3 months ago

Full disclosure, I've beaten oblivion and I have some nostalgia for it but it's just so funny to me that bethsoft games 90% of the time are platforms for masturbation material.

[-] Bay_of_Piggies@hexbear.net 8 points 3 months ago

The amount of community effort that has gone into perfecting breast physics for Skyrim is kind of impressive...

[-] Xenomorph@hexbear.net 11 points 3 months ago

You made me google search skyrim jiggle and I found this gem:

Absolutely one of the most boring games of the series as well. It was fun the first time but as a Morrowind lover it was also a huge disappointment

[-] FortifiedAttack@hexbear.net 13 points 3 months ago

Apparently it's UE5 so fat chance on that.

[-] Bloobish@hexbear.net 8 points 3 months ago

UE5

Wait UE5!? Shit Bethesda just pissing on their modding community with that

[-] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 8 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

From what I've read, it's still running the old engine with UE5 only handling the visuals like the Ninja Gaiden 2 remake.

[-] Coca_Cola_but_Commie@hexbear.net 19 points 3 months ago

On the one hand I think an Oblivion remake is doomed to fail. So much of the charm and character of the original comes down to the jank. A janky engine with janky gameplay and worse graphics, but also one of the best games I've ever played.

On the other hand, I'm really looking forward to playing some of this. Will probably try to pirate this one, though.

[-] Bloobish@hexbear.net 15 points 3 months ago

There's also the fact that compared to Morrowind or Skyrim Oblivion's setting is kinda mid at best and very generic fantasy with only some of that elder scrolls weirdness in the fringes

[-] Lussy@hexbear.net 8 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

When it came out, its genericness was kind of refreshing

[-] Robert_Kennedy_Jr@hexbear.net 13 points 3 months ago

I would just wait a few months for Skyblivion to come out.

[-] SuperZutsuki@hexbear.net 18 points 3 months ago

That comparison with the original kitty-birthday-sad They made it so much browner...

[-] kristina@hexbear.net 13 points 3 months ago

yellow filter for mexico except for fictional nerd world

[-] SacredExcrement@hexbear.net 11 points 3 months ago

Taking the saturated coloring and style of the original and making it look like CoD 37 was a choice

[-] tombruzzo@hexbear.net 16 points 3 months ago

People talk shit about Oblivion but watch the Wha' Happen on Demon's Souls and you realise Oblivion directly lead to Dark Souls and all related games. So few games can claim to have such an influence.

[-] Asafum@feddit.nl 13 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Apparently even the discworld golbins were made in part due to the goblins in oblivion. Terry prachett "researched" goblins for the book snuff by exploring the goblin caves in oblivion with the help of a mod he helped design lol

[-] AssortedBiscuits@hexbear.net 10 points 3 months ago

There's many games that could claim to spawn subgenres lol. So many indies live under the shadow of Cave Story and Yume Nikki. Ultima Underworld is basically why FPS (and Souls-likes for that matter) even exist. Every RPG can ultimately be traced back to at least one of these games: Wizardry, Ultima, and Rogue.

[-] neo@hexbear.net 9 points 3 months ago

I love that that entire series is named after one really bad line read from one really bad The Ring based Dreamcast video game.

[-] tombruzzo@hexbear.net 7 points 3 months ago

I didn't realise there was actual history to it. I thought it was just internet speak. It's surprisingly good for what it is as well, Matt actually talks to people and gets first party sources instead of just doing wikipedia level skims like that series could easily be. He's also been on podcast that position him as a comrade as well

[-] radio_free_asgarthr@hexbear.net 15 points 3 months ago

Make a new game! Don't just make 20 remasters of Skyrim and Oblivion each.

Why is it brown instead of green?

[-] Robert_Kennedy_Jr@hexbear.net 14 points 3 months ago

Ok but can you make your character a technicolor abomination?

[-] ObamaSama@hexbear.net 13 points 3 months ago

All I care about is what it’s running on, would love essentially just a 64 bit engine upgrade. You can already mod the shit of the original to look nearly as good but it’s unstable as hell. Curious to see how substantial the combat and leveling changes end up being as well

[-] Robert_Kennedy_Jr@hexbear.net 16 points 3 months ago

I was betting that they shuffled it off to a studio somewhere in SEA or eastern Europe to rake in the nostalgia bucks before I even looked up the name at the top of the screenshot.

Virtuos is a Singapore-based company that provides game development and art production services for AAA consoles, PC, and mobile titles.

[-] SootySootySoot@hexbear.net 13 points 3 months ago

They gave the dryad big booba, finally the game is playable
