They should just dump the source code and let us remaster it ourselves

"Noooo but my trademark patented engine speedtrees AI trade secret proprietary royaltied merchant's privileged asset--" shut up, I already know this is gonna be shit, the textures are gonna be AI generated, and it will somehow have directly involved exploiting third-world labor cuz capitalism is in a total-society-enshittification death spiral and every single modder can do it better cuz they were already making horrific and wonderful binary patches anyway to your Windows 98 MSVC generated 9999999999 thousand line """""solution""""" file defined slop code that can actually still run on a 386 Zionist genocide-optimizing-computer type CPU so your slop code runs less like shit, makes better graphics, and so they can jerk off to modded-in anime girls

Literally collectivize all software immediately, all licensces (doesn't deserve to be spelled correctly anyway, probably French) will be null and void

The exploding quadcopter software will be collectivized as soon as this episode of the class war is complete however

It makes me so sad playing games I love knowing that the code is locked away in some vault somewhere or lost forever :(

[–] tim_curry@hexbear.net 13 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

They won't release the sauce cos u said game developer code is stinky and now they're sad

[–] PaX@hexbear.net 5 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

Am rly tired but I gotta say: I blame the game devs only partially (object oriented brained ppl usually omg, not even good object oriented they all got C++ and Java brain hehe)

A lot of ppl live under perma-crunch schedules so good code is impossible anyway :(

I hug game devs, if you're reading this and a game dev I'm sending a hug over TCP/IP (if u want it ofc) <3

We should shred oyur project manager together

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 10 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours 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

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 8 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

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 6 points 11 hours 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

[–] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 31 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

You can't remake Oblivion. Everything that makes that game worth playing is baked into it being made when it was, how it was.

[–] FortifiedAttack@hexbear.net 22 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah I'm not sure how to even imagine this game being remastered. Is the radiant AI still going to be there? Is it still going to have loads of half-baked quests? Are all the NPCs still going to be voiced by 5 male and 5 female voice actors?

And are mods even going to be a thing with this being Unreal Engine 5?

[–] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 4 points 11 hours ago

Legit if they goofy NPCs aren't screaming about mudcrabs and high elves what's the point?

[–] Lussy@hexbear.net 10 points 13 hours ago

Oblivion was an amazing game for 16 y/o me

[–] Wrrzag@lemmy.ml 15 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Why is it brown instead of green?

[–] take_five_moments@hexbear.net 16 points 12 hours ago

it's set in mexico

[–] SootySootySoot@hexbear.net 13 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] 9to5@hexbear.net 8 points 12 hours ago

billions must goon

[–] companero@hexbear.net 37 points 16 hours ago (4 children)

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.

[–] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 10 points 12 hours ago

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

[–] tim_curry@hexbear.net 20 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

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 14 hours 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.

[–] GeneralSwitch2Boycott@hexbear.net 6 points 13 hours ago

It's going to stutter to fuck on PC since it's UE5 too, probably.

[–] anarchoilluminati@hexbear.net 18 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

What's Skyblivion?

[–] Carl@hexbear.net 32 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

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 16 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] Tiocfaidhcaisarla@hexbear.net 10 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] TC_209@hexbear.net 6 points 9 hours 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.

Never cared that much for oblivon. I enjoyed Morrowind and Skyrim both a lot more.

[–] Coca_Cola_but_Commie@hexbear.net 17 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

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.

[–] Robert_Kennedy_Jr@hexbear.net 13 points 13 hours ago

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

[–] Bloobish@hexbear.net 14 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

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 13 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago)

When it came out, its genericness was kind of refreshing

[–] SuperZutsuki@hexbear.net 18 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

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

[–] SacredExcrement@hexbear.net 11 points 14 hours ago

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

[–] kristina@hexbear.net 13 points 15 hours ago

yellow filter for mexico except for fictional nerd world

[–] Xenomorph@hexbear.net 23 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

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.

[–] FortifiedAttack@hexbear.net 12 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

Apparently it's UE5 so fat chance on that.

[–] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 8 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours 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.

[–] Bloobish@hexbear.net 8 points 14 hours ago

UE5

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

[–] Robert_Kennedy_Jr@hexbear.net 18 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

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 16 hours ago (1 children)

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 14 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] Xenomorph@hexbear.net 11 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

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

NSFW

[–] Le_Wokisme@hexbear.net 5 points 9 hours ago

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

[–] Le_Wokisme@hexbear.net 4 points 9 hours ago

somebody is probably working on TES 6, unless they're so disconnected from reality that they're doing starfield 2 first.
