Im not denying the bugginess of oblivion I’m more concerned about the general unplayability of a lot of Unreal games in this latest gen
Like if the bugs were bad when they wrote the code I can’t imagine porting that code into unreal with its famously poor optimizations is anything but the worst case scenario for this remaster lmao
My hope was that they were porting it to creation 2 with upscaled assets and taking some time to squash the most egregious bugs. Hearing it’s going to be a ue5 port now I’m almost not even willing to give it a chance. We shall see. For all we know, this could just be industry drivel getting us excited about a fake leak.
The quality of Unreal games is a product of the developer. Plenty of games have been great. Satisfactory and Talos Principle 2, for example.
Huh, I never knew satisfactory was in unreal. On that point, if they offloaded development to a 3rd party studio does that impact your expectations? Idk who it is but I saw a bunch of people saying it wasn’t Bethesda remaking it
This is definitely a ground-up remake, not a port with original code.
Wait, seriously? That is terrifying lmao
Why is that? It’s being done by a different studio entirely that specializes in ports and remasters.
Avowed was a recent unreal open world game that didn’t have many issues but I still had at least one point in my playthrough where every object was ghost trailing and map textures were stretched across the sky. Thats from obsidian busting their asses and it was great outside of the one major glitch.
With oblivion being what it is in its original form and then being handed to some outside studio to port to unreal it just sounds like a nightmare scenario. Maybe they’re unreal specialists idk but they can’t be better than Bethesda themselves. I’ll be holding my breath until we get confirmation but I’ll have to see what people think once it’s out before I’m gonna risk spending money on this. OG oblivion is free on gamepass and I can stream it to my phone lol
If it does end up being great, fantastic! Im just not trusting Todd Howard to do the right thing anymore lmao
