Justin Belin writes, " The 360/PS3/Wii era was unprecedented. Never before had consoles demonstrated legs that could keep on running for 8 years. But even the greatest of athletes tire eventually and in recent years, many have argued that these consoles have grown long in the tooth. Even the greatest fidelity the 360 and PS3 could muster in the hottest new releases began to pale in comparison to those same titles released during the renaissance of PC gaming. Our beloved systems are not the champions they once were and it is time to give them one final stadium clearing hurrah as they head off the field and into the locker rooms where retirement awaits. And so, the writer’s at GamesAbyss got together to tackle the very difficult question of what singular game this past generation, was the most memorable, the most captivating, and the one that most embodied the best that this passing generation in console history had to offer:"
While gamers usually take notice of the mainline missions, these 5 side quests deserve more widespread attention for how entertaining they are.
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.
Plenty of unforgettable games have completely messed up their players throughout the years, all the way back from the PS1 days to the dark recesses of the modern internet.
With games like Dishonored, Far Cry 3, Tomb Raider, Bioshock Infinite, Metro: Last Light, And up coming titles like Battlefield 4, The Last of Us, and GTA V, I would argue that this current gen just caught fire.
Edit* And I know I'm missing a few
"was" - it's not even over yet. fuck.
I still can't over how incredible this console generation has been.
Going back through MGS4 a 10th time now... I think that is my most played game this generation. It's so perfect in just about every way. There have been quite a few gems though for sure this generation.
I vote Dark Souls and GOW3. Can't wait for DS2, perfect way to end this gen.
