Bethesda announces remastered version of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
- TheJCDenton 2y agoHaven’t played it yet, but if it’s good, I hope the eerie world of Morrowind is next !
- tommica 2y agoWell, after Fallout 76 and Starfield, they needed to press the "print money" button. So we can look forward to it once they've messed up again.
- klaussilveira 2y agoI think https://openmw.org/ https://openmw.org/ is much better than anything that Bethesda could produce.

- Fade_Dance 2y agoSkyWind is so incredible that I honestly don't think it's necessary. Skyblivion was a thing, but the love and care put into SkyWind is just something I have rarely if ever seen in modding before. So many people loved that world, and so much talent has gone into the project. Even something like the stained glass windows scattered through the world were approached not like a game asset but like a series of art pieces, consulting all of the lore experts, etc. (Yes it still needs finishing touches but it's complete to the point that there are 10s of hours of gameplay footage from fundraiser streams to confirm it's 90% of the way there. It's polished and looks incredible.)

- Havoc 2y agoSome oblivion areas where pretty brown. This was before everything had skins and rainbows and what not
- Jnr 2y agoIt was the "piss filter" era in gaming. Lots of games during that period looked brownish with a terrible blur on everything. https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/piss-filter/ https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/piss-filter/
- whywhywhywhy 2y agoGotta say the new ChatGPT 4o image gens are like the resurgence of the piss filter aesthetic
- mrguyorama 2y agoAt the time though, Oblivion was notable for it's trees and greenery. It definitely didn't have a piss filter, The Elder Scrolls series just spends a lot of time in literal dirt caves.
- ezekg 2y agoI always called this the "chlorine filter" because it reminded me of what your vision looks like after swimming in chlorinated water after a while.
- Rebelgecko 2y agoOblivion had more of a blue tint IIRC
- Ekaros 2y agoDepended on area general world was blue, then the Oblivion gates were orange/brown. I think shivering isles also have something different.

- Lammy 2y agoI wonder if this would exist if https://skyblivion.com/ https://skyblivion.com/ didn't.
- os2warpman 2y agoUntil there's a download link, Skyblivion doesn't exist.
- Lammy 2y agoPeople said the same thing about Black Mesa
- FloatArtifact 2y agoIt's slated to release this year.
- dkkergoog 2y agoAnd noone cares
- NikkiA 2y agoUntil it's C&D'ed later this week.
- Rebelgecko 2y agoWho would do such a thing? Not Bethesda/Microsoft
- monetus 2y agoI've watched these developers make the game for years now. I hardly believed they would succeed. Big congrats.
- FloatArtifact 2y agoAccording to the Bethesda FAQ, it looks like modding is not supported. It feeds into my suspicion that Unreal 5 is difficult to mod especially adding new content/mechanics without official support from developers. A real shame. https://help.bethesda.net/#en/answer/69672 https://help.bethesda.net/#en/answer/69672 Well, we'll see what the community can do, but it'll be limited without official support.
- spacemadness 2y agoWhat?! That's a huge miss for them. Incredibly disappointing.
- Lammy 2y agoFrom a corporate perspective I could see “no mods at all” being preferable to mods they can't control, especially since all the best ones come from loverslab-dot-com which is totally untouchable to corpo-kin. Microsoft-presents-Zenimax-presents-Bethesda had a string of failed attempts to control the modding community for Skyrim: - https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim_Mod:Paid_Mods https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim_Mod:Paid_Mods (2015–2017) - https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Creation_Club https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Creation_Club (2017–2023) - https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim_Mod:Verified_Creator_Program https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim_Mod:Verified_Creator_Program (2023–)
- andrewmcwatters 2y agoDoing various things with Unreal is deceptively hard. It’s very attractive in its marketing, but as soon as you need to start doing something slightly off the rails, you run into a very large labor premium that you wouldn’t with other engines, in my experience.
- EdwardKrayer 2y agoI'd be surprised if modding frameworks don't start popping up via reverse engineering efforts. Someones gonna get annoyed at having to manage inventory against limited carry weight, and end up in a 3 months side project. Respect to the modding community.
