GamePlasma was recently tasked with the job of reviewing a game titled "Limbo of the Lost." However once one of their writers, Erik Franck, started playing it, he noticed some very familiar settings. It appears that Limbo of the Lost has blatantly taken in-game environments and textures from Oblivion.
Virtuos is currently working on a multiplatform Unreal Engine 5 remake, which is rumored to be The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.
I thought they’d go for Morrowind first to be honest but this is a welcoming surprise to tide us over before ES6
Unreal Engine isn't efficient for open world games, so I question the reliability of this story.
Yeah, 1st thing that came to my mind too, although i CAN see it being likely for ease if use, but it's not going to run very well if so
I'd wonder if it would just be exploiting Unreal for graphics but the underlying engine/logic is still the original framework.
Like how we had the graphical remakes of Halo Anniversary, Tomb Raider I-III, and Demon's Souls.
Could also end up a disaster like the GTA Trilogy
"remake will run both an Unreal Engine 5 project and the old Oblivion project. For instance, new graphics are rendered in the Unreal Engine 5 project, but most of the gameplay and physics are still done on the original Oblivion engine"
So with this logic it'll run just fine using UE5 tool sets on top of Gamebryo's engine or maybe even Creation Engine, who knows.
Hopefully modders can fix the aged combart in this game if this is true. Enemies leveling up with you broke and defeated the whole purpose of leveling up.
Yeah it could use some tuning for sure hence the need for a Remake not a Remaster. I'm surprised it's even a conversation within them group which makes me skeptical it's Oblivion. I wouldn't say they shouldn't level up at all though maybe just a leave them a couple levels behind to appease the masses.
Created by Bethesda Softworks, The Elder Scrolls is hailed as one of the most groundbreaking RPG franchises.
GF365: "If you’re a reader, this list of great games for avid readers is for you. Games are a form of art, and some have written literature in them."
That is horrible, I cant believe any developer would do this, or think they could get away with it being unnoticed...
Lawsuit anyone?
if you are going to copy, its common knowledge you have to change things a little bit. Dont know if they thought no one would notice or if they just didn't care.
Coincidence....and no one is telling me otherwise.
This whole thing probably ruined this guys life. This guy probably had this whole lie concocted and told everyone about this project he was working on and now the lid is blown and he's wide open to feel the pain only truth can bring.
For one, his wife is probably packing as we speak. His friends are making better plans for poker night and he's going to be all alone holding his wii very soon.
With all this said I'm not mad at him at all and I bet this guy was a struggling dev with access to the source code and did what he had to do to make it happen. I applaud someone like this oppose to Rockstar who releases the same game to us every year for 50 to 60 bucks, along with EA and Ubisoft.
I'd buy this game just to give him a nod.
a new low in gaming.... bound for a huge lawsuit....
