Anything to avoid discussing TES6.

[-] [email protected] 61 points 2 months ago

What, the announcement trailer from 2018 isn't enough to hold you over until it launches in 2029?

[-] [email protected] 27 points 2 months ago

I kinda wonder if they even have any good ideas left after Starfield was such a disappointment in the creativity department.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago

It's still going to sell really well even if it's just pretty Skyrim.

[-] [email protected] 49 points 2 months ago

Yeah its called skyblivion.

[-] [email protected] 46 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

oblivion is my favorite in the series, but goddammit bethesda stop making remakes. make a make.

[-] [email protected] 35 points 2 months ago

I mean, Starfield should have been my dream game, but after that...

I dunno. All my enthusiasm for BGS has been sapped, and I adored Oblvion.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago

the scope for starfield was just too much, it was doomed to fail from the beginning. i think they'll be fine going back to their TES roots.

The remake is not developed by Bethesda Game Studios

[-] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I bet the remake will be fine, it's just technical upgrades, no new writing or anything. Maybe not as "soulful" as Skyblivion, but fine.

What I am more worried about is "fun" writing and storytelling in new games.

EDIT: Wrong reply, but you get the idea @[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

Why take a third risk (Fallout 76 and Starfield) on the unknown when you can remake a good thing?

[-] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

FO76 and Starfield were much much more risky than TES6 or FO5 will be.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Come on man, gotta get a Morrowind with modern QOL stuff.

Can't wait for them to remaster skyrim again before TES6

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

You joke, but I’d totally be down with an update that integrates better graphics technology and reduces modding issues. Ive played through it half a dozen times in VR and 2d and there’s still plenty of content I haven’t done. Only issue I have these days is the small pool of voice actors so every 5th person has the same voice.

[-] [email protected] 24 points 2 months ago

Aww man, are they going to take down Skyblivion right when its done?

[-] [email protected] 15 points 2 months ago

Probably the only reason they did it

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Or, perhaps optimistically, it's to prepare themselves to transition off of their absurdly dated engine.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Unless they switch to one of the current Gen engines available, they will keep using the one they have, they just updated it's now the creation engine 2... and that was for starfield and ES6. And it seemed like the same engine for starfield.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

This remake is allegedly going to be in Unreal. Even if ES6 is in Creation, their next project can move to something better.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

If it is in Unreal, that's going to be interesting. Presumably, mod support is out the window then.

Bethesda has actually been consistently supportive of Skyblivion, Morroblivion, and Skywind.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago

Wait a moment. Oblivion is turning 20 years old ??? 😥

Oh man, I can't wait for them to reveal it, so I can finally know about it.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

Mod support? Between this and Skyblivion, the one with better mod support wins.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I wonder, can they just cease&desist Skyblivion off the map?

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

You can send a cease and desist for any reason to anyone at anytime.

But they wouldn't be able to win in court, the eula of both games explicitly allow using their IP in mods

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

probably non-existent

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

I see the title - and first thing I think

"Oblivion, now with 16 times the upscalers" in Todd's voices

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

i don’t believe you

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Are they still using their twenty year old engine?

[-] [email protected] 13 points 2 months ago

Noooo, creation engine 2 is new, it definitely not a ball of bandaids wrapped around the netimmerse engine that was released in 1997.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

Twenty eight year old engine?

Leonardo DiCaprio would be mortified.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

The thing is, the age of the engine doesn't say anything. The Unreal Engine started its development before 1998. But you do have to put in work to upgrade an engine over time and Bethesda doesn't have Fortnite money for that.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

No, they have Skyrim money for that. Imagine making money off of a game for over a decade, while barely putting money towards rereleases/ports. Didn’t even need a team for patches or content updates.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Unreal Engine is 26 years old. id Tech is 30 years old. What's your point?

Eh. I just want OGblivion on Android, since that's all I seem to get to play anymore.
