Bethesda Game Studios writes: We are so grateful to the over 4 million of you that have already ventured into Cyrodiil with Oblivion Remastered. Thank you!
Congrats goes to Todd and everyone at Bethesda and team Xbox for another huge milestone!
Hopefully after this huge success, Phil might greenlit New Vegas Remastered powered by UE5 as well.
Fingers crossed!
I wish for, at the very least, maybe Fallout 3 remaster? I mean the success of the show proves that not just hardcore gamers are ready for a great updated Fallout game. I believe it could potentially be even more successful than the Oblivion remaster. But I do like your idea of a New Vegas UE5 , because I actually never played that. Bethesda are better under Microsoft, I agree with you now after this "remaster". It's much cheaper and faster to do something like this for an old classic game. Reminds me of when Capcom started doing that with RE2. Gamer goodwill became skyhigh for Capcom. Fingers crossed indeed
F3 Remastered already came out on the court documents, so unless it was cancelled, which sounds unlikely as it would the best they can hope to have to match any releases of the TV show since F5 isn’t coming out any time soon.
That said, I do agree that if this has proven to be a hit and I don’t see why F3 wouldn’t be if it gets the same level of treatment, they will probably want to do more
It's on GamePass. According to Steam DB: it has a 190k peak, which is not close to 4 mil. It didn't even reach 500k on Twitch stats and owner estimations are hovering around 1 mil or less.
Well done, despite not getting exact sales, this is still great news because the budget for this and the development time wouldn't have been much at all when compared to a full 6 or 7 year development window and the cost that would entail. So it does seem like a great success and even better when you consider that they shadow-dropped it without paid marketing. Hope this team is already past pre-production on another "remaster" of another classic, I'm personally hoping for Fallout 3 remaster
Microsoft realised how stupid they had been and delayed following Sega's example.
There you go MS, worldwide lots more people own PS5 or PC than Xbox. You got the money you're desperate for.
To be truly Sega, don't bother releasing a new console. Just focus on software.
"To be truly Sega, don't bother releasing a new console. Just focus on software."
MS will continue to release new consoles as they´ll continue and make tons of money out PC, PS5 and Switch 2 as well.
Gamers on other platforms will happily pay full price for amazing Xbox games while we get everything day one on Game Pass.
It´s a win win for everyone.
The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered is a reflective lens that highlights RPG evolution while proving the appeal of certain design philosophies.
That fall continues.
There's a short term issue and a long term issue.
Short term issue is the lack of games showing off the hardware's enhanced capabilities. We don't know Sony's immediate Road map but it seems they'll have another State Of Play on the 19th of this month showing third party and indie but no first party. VGA's they have to announce something. Bends New LS game? Fairgames? I think Ghosts 2 is a spring 2026 title if it doesn't show show up at VGA's.
The long term issue is how big of a leap will PS6 be? They probably have 3 to 4 years until the new console releases but how big of a jump will it actually be? The Pro model is a reworked model with all the newest bells and whistles so how big of a leap will the PS6 actually have?
The PS4 pro came out in 16 and 4 years later the PS5 came out and MS was touting the One X then 3 years later the series X came out. The results were 4k 60 for cross gen stuff, TFlops meant nothing the Ssd's were over blown certain games are still 30. The overall capabilities are still barely being tapped in right now.
This gen really woke me up to overblown promises of consoles. Going to a new gen in the next handful of years I'll be very skeptical.
Going to be real. I've been going through the youtube comments on the presentation and there's a lot of people weighing just switching to PC going forward.
As (mainly) a PC player, I say take the plunge. Actually get your hands on the benefits that comes with being outside of the closed console environment. I've seen a lot of console gamers go PC over the years, but not a whole lot of PC gamers go back to console as their main platform.
enthusiasts, seeing how the disc drives sell out everywhere lol
if u have that kinda money to buy it, do so, but i dont wanna drop 1k on that, ontop of psplus and games i wanna buy
$699*
*doesn't include the $80 disc drive you need for physical games, or the $30 vertical stand that doesn't come with the console, or the $80+ a year you might need for online play, or the sales that that can run $55-75+, etc. All of that out the door before you even by a game is nearly $1,000.
At this price this far into the lifecycle of a console that is struggling for consistency of releases, this is ludicrous. PSVR2 was already a botch due to its compatibility issues and price point, and now this.
Just get a PC for around that price that's more than capable of equaling or outperforming the Pro and add a Switch 2 when it comes out. That, or a Steam Deck you can take with you then dock at home with a plug-in GPU.
