An Oblivion Remastered Physical Release Would Be the Icing on the Cake

The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered's digital debut is already well-received but it could be improved with a future physical release

Even if it was released physically you probably still wouldn’t be able to play it without using some form of internet or, the full game would not be on the disk most likely. Physical media is dying and I’d expect more and more games to be strictly digital in the near future.

I’m all for choices but let’s be real here physically media is on its last legs…

rlow161d ago

I agree with you. Unless you can play the game offline its really not a fully physical disc. It becomes less and less every generation.

anast61d ago

You're right and when it completely dies. I'm out to find a new hobby.

It's only on it's last legs because companies are being lazy and manipulating things to get what they want.

It's so gamers end up going "F*** it, I'd rather just download it if that's the case" which is exactly the plan. They then turn around and go "See, digital sales are much higher, this is clearly what gamers want" when in reality it's these companies who have manipulated the entire situation for the outcome they desire.

Nailed it. They are completely manipulating the situation to screw over the consumer. Once they have you all trapped into digital downloads they'll turn off the downloads and say it is streaming only now, they have absolute power to do that. Physical media is the only thing from stopping these greedy corporations from ruining the whole thing.

Jingsing61d ago

The technology already exists to produced 1TB discs, so in reality it isn't on its last legs. people need to stop being lazy and supporting physical media as it supports the consumer.

Not buying Microsoft products is actually the best way to get physical media.

jznrpg61d ago

If they put the full game on disc I’d buy it day one. I am not buying Indiana Jones because it doesn’t have the full game on disc. If I ever do buy Indy I’ll buy it used in a couple years when it’s really cheap. I have tons of games to play. I would like to play Oblivion again but I also don’t mind waiting as long as it takes.

Bethesda is better than ever under Xbox.

Here´s hoping they will transition from Creation Engine to UE5 or UE6 for TES VI and Fallout 5 the same way they did with Oblivion Remastered

andy8536d ago

Better than ever? They've released an average game in Starfield and an absolute disaster in Redfall. Now don't get me wrong I love Oblivion but "under Xbox"? they've prettied up a game the actual talent created 20 years old and have since left. Stellar new experiences remain to be seen for that better than ever tag.

"Now don't get me wrong I love Oblivion but "under Xbox"? they've prettied up a game the actual talent created 20 years old and have since left."

Didn´t known that Todd Howard left Bethesda. Besides, bring actual proof that the devs behind Oblivion left, because I think you´re on some lying bullsh!t here. I´ll wait.

Redfall and Starfield were made way before MS bought them.

Abear2136d ago (Edited 36d ago )

Would Bethesda still be the same without Creation Engine? I play Bethesda games for their “charm” no need to make them use the same tools as everyone else. You’re right though, they’re on fire atm. Hopefully they deliver another classic with ES6

PRIMORDUS37d ago

Also the Skyblivion team invited to Bethesda Studios, now that is a dev I can respect.

Unlike some other studios who are pieces of shit along with Nintendo.

Goodguy0136d ago

It's definitely closer to a remake as well and for only $50 when they definitely could've charged $70 and still sell very well because of the name. Good on bethesda.

Abear2136d ago (Edited 36d ago )

Imagine what RDR2 remaster would do. If the rumors are true about Red Dead and GTA4 remake just buy Take 2 stock now

joab77736d ago (Edited 36d ago )

I love how everyone says Bethesda is back. No. The company that made this game has proven they are AAA status when it comes to remaking games. They deserve 90% of the credit.
Though I’ll give Bethesda credit for allowing it to happen.

I do WISH they had t dropped it at the same f time as Clair Obscura, literally the best new IP in years.

Did they fix the game yet or did the modders already fix it?
