Supposed to release next week. UE5 and reworked mechanics.

Oblivion was the first RPG I sank any time into, and was the best of the Bethesda games IMO, but it was hard to go back after playing modded Skyrim.

Seems like a good business decision, especially since Bethesda's had a rough few years lately.

It’s been so long since I played Oblivion I can’t remember if Skyrim was a big upgrade or more of the same.

Morrowind was a better game in almost every way.

I'll be checking it out on gamepass for sure, some of the screen shot leaks ive seen looked good, others not so much, Skyblivion looks better IMO.

I'm more excited about Skyblivion coming out, since Bethesda has been very Bethesda for a bit now.

There's the Skywind project. No idea when it'll be done though.

How have I not heard about this?  But yeah, I would prefer Morrowind over Oblivion.

I don't care for remakes. There's nothing wrong with Oblivion as is. The color palate for this remake is completely different from the original. Also, there will be no mod support, which is one of the best parts of the Bethesda games, as well as necessary to patch the bugs that are never fixed otherwise.

Tomorrow 8am pacific looks to be the announcement according to the Bethesda X account.

I hope it’s released tomorrow and not just the “hey look what comes out later this year”

I couldn't get into morriwind or oblivion, they just didn't have that Daggerfall magic.

I have doubts it'll be our soon.

They basically got forced into making an announcement tomorrow.

And I have a feeling the announcement isn't going to amount to anything except more hype.

Skyrim was a huge upgrade over Oblivion. Current player count today for skyrim is 33,653. All time peak for Oblivion was 6,390 and that was 13 years ago.
Combat was significantly better, mods were better, dungeons were largely better.

Looking forward to the remake though. I hope the Oblivion gates aren't as boring and repetitive as I remember them.

It was supposed to be shadow-dropped like a week ago. I'm thinking it's a mess they don't want to release.

Oh yeah, I forgot about those gates IIRC I just ignored them on subsequent playthroughs.

If they fixed the huge issues with Oblivion I'll be in.   I hope they hired some new people for the dialog.   Nothing like 4 different voices coming out of the same character in a conversation.

After awhile I'd just go invisible and speed run the gates, they got old fast.

Greenman has the deluxe version for $50. Deluxe comes with the 2 DLC Expansions.  

Also on gamepass for those that have it.

Apparently the base version also includes the DLC expansions, but they made an image to make it seem like only the Deluxe version did to sell more copies of it....  Grab the $40 version from Greenman instead.

No Mod support and Type 1/2 bodies instead of male/female ends my interest in the game.

I'm about 6 hours in, using Painted World reshade since the stock colors look like Fallout

So far, it's the same lovable Oblivion jank. Took forever to finish Go Fish as expected, and I've run into a couple of minor bugs, but.. it's a Bethesda game at its core, remaster or not.

It looks great, but I'm playing on a 2070 Super so I don't have all the cool guy stuff turned on (my living room computer isn't as powerful as my sim rig).

Some stuff looks better, but the Khajit remind me of that Indonesian tiger statue now.

After watching a few people play I think I’m going to hold off for now.

Might grab it when the price drops

Played the game multiple times. No reason to buy it. Expedition 33 just dropped anyway.

They remade it, it looks amazing, and is a fun game?  Plenty of reasons

Exactly, I've been wanting to replay it for 15 years but there was never controller support.

I'm enjoying it a lot.

Got it on game pass and have been playing it all week. Great remaster. A few minor gameplay changes along with a leveling overhaul. I had been playing OG oblivion for a few months prior though.
