The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remaster developer Virtuos had hinted at the project's design philosophy in a prior interview.
The Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion Remastered rose to the very top of the Steam Deck Most Played Games list. Have you tried it yet?
"We have to admit, there is something extremely nostalgic about playing Oblivion at 30 FPS, with mild stuttering outdoors. And, even though it doesn’t run perfectly, it’s still so much fun. This could be one of the games that helps grown-ups find their way back to gaming."
I would assume most grown-ups don't get excited about products that don't work properly. I would also assume that most grown-ups coming back to gaming don't want to spend the limited time they have modding a broken game to get it to run properly on the Steam Deck.
The mod is a simple 1440p optimization preset, but what's interesting is that it's made by an AI for GPUs like the RTX 2070.
Digital Foundry : The Retro PC Time Capsule format returns once more - but this time in the context of a brand-new game. Oblivion Remastered on PC running maxed out on a 12900K/RTX 5090 system is stacked up against the 2006 original, running on period appropriate hardware - a Pentium D 3.0GHz processor paired with the (then) almighty Radeon X1800 XT. Just how much of a remastering effort is this? John and Alex assess the remastering work, and fret about stuttering ahead of Alex's upcoming performance review.
I don’t remember “body type 1 or 2” being in the game.
I will have to pass on this woke remaster.
I kinda disagree what with turning everything brown from it's original vibrant green and cool color palette. Still gonna play it but it's certainly a disappointing change imo.
Looks like a legit remake and tons of people are playing and happy with it. I'm sure there will be naysayers on the internet but on the whole, people seem very pleased. Loved it way back when, and will likely play it again to see if it holds up and experience all the new changes.
