The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered's digital debut is already well-received but it could be improved with a future physical release
George writes: The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered on Xbox and Game Pass is a phenomenal achievement that hits so many highs.
Digital Foundry: "Returning to Oblivion Remastered for a second round of console testing brings a great many issues to light. This isn't a PS5 versus Xbox issue; all are affected by hitching, crashes, bugs, major sub-60fps drops, and an uneven 30fps line on quality mode. The chance to revisit with a focus on PS5 consoles only underlines the scale of its issues across a breadth of platforms - and the pressing need for a patch to resolve these profound issues."
It also has a quick save bug that's corrupting save data and the camera breaks the longer you play and eventually crashes when loading a save
Definitely taking a break. I haven't had any major problems yet but the more horror stories I read the more I'm reminded of my ordeal on the PS3 with FO3. Not trying to relive those moments. 😆
I was right. This stuff should have been included in the initial reviews. Everyone giving this game a 10 out the gate only to turn around a month later and show everyone the actual product. This stuff is sleazy to the bone.
Oblivion Remastered is full of Ayleid Ruins, leading many players to wonder about the significance of this long-dead, star-worshipping race.
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…
Not buying Microsoft products is actually the best way to get physical media.
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.
All good and valid points m8s.
