More, with comparison to OG Oblivion.

Wow! Can’t wait to dive into this game again. I wonder what the achievements will be like. The original set for Oblivion was really simple and barebones.

Some of these shots look great, but I am not super happy with the color, or more like lack thereof. I remember Oblivion way more colorful than this. But who knows, maybe it’s a time of day thingy.

I’m down for a revisit, but not sure how much I’d really play. I enjoyed it at the time but my interest in ES has waned somewhat. Morrowind for lyfe. Skyrim I barely touched, oddly.
Presumably on GP.
I think they’ve had to dial back the bloom a little bit - it was truly insane on the 360 lol, sometimes so bright if you were playing in the evening it was almost blinding.
I thought it was so beautiful at the time but when I recently tried to replay it on my Series X with obviously a much newer TV it was almost overpowering - hence I think they’ve probably reworked the lighting a bit and tried to make it a little more realistic / less likely to blind you if using HDR lol…

Those were the days… I recently played through Codemasters’ Dirt 1 and the glare off of the landscape was blinding. Like a literal mound of dirt or grass and the bloom was completely blown out.

I noticed that as well, in the comparison shots the remake has more of a dusky look than the bright greens of the original. Hopefully just a time of day difference issue?

One of my favorite games of all time. Looking forward to this.

It looks really good. My brother and I are so happy right now. I can’t wait to get back to the best Elder Scrolls ! Yeah, I said it ! I still remember as if it was yesterday how insane it was to play this game on 360 at launch.

Looks really good but if it’s just a visual upgrade like every remaster is, then it’s a pass for me. Still don’t know why they’re trying to rush this out and drop it everywhere. April is stacked for Microsoft in general, May has Doom. You would think that Microsoft would reveal/announce it during the showcase and release it two weeks later since Microsoft has nothing releasing in June.
Hopefully the combat has received a significant overhaul because man, the sword combat back then already felt dated compared to other games. That would go a long way, and obviously stuff like animations too and so on.

Another RPG to get my hands on.

I’m hoping they bring the vibrant colors back a bit more, because this realistic look seems more like Skyrim. That’s one of the things I really loved about Oblivion, and less so in Skyrim. Give me that true fantasy feel.
Isn’t this studio also remaking MGS3? From what I’ve seen they nailed the look of everything compared to the original, not a huge difference. It won’t be the end of the world if the Oblivion Remake looks more realistic but definitely…unfortunatel.

Hopefully the make it official soon, because it’s still a rumor. But there’s this:
