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…

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.

anast22d 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.

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.

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 the technical issue must have slipped the reviewers mind.

Oblivion Remastered revisited: profound problems have yet to be addressed

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. 😆

But it is still 10/10 right? because muh Bethesda and muh Fantasy.

anast7d ago (Edited 7d ago )

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.

you weren't. You said it was bad, no depth and that bethesda has no talent. All proven wrong with this game. The spellcrafting alone has more depth and customization than all your favourite plastic box makers games from this gen combined.

anast6d ago

Hello Micheal. Go through my history. I said those things a long with it being a fundamentally bad game. None of it was proven wrong either.

Chocoburger7d ago

Microsoft and Bethesda 'quality control'. Embarrassing.
