"Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion was one of the first games that I played on the Xbox 360, way back in 2006 and it's no secret that like many other gamers around, I too fall for it. The game gave the player an amazing world to live in, excellent gameplay mechanics and some interesting NPC's to deal with.
Five years have since passed on, and obviously technology has grown too and last year Bethesda finally gave heed to fan's demands of a sequel. So Skyrim was announced and much to our delight it already is looking wonderful.
We decided to do a comparison of Oblivion with Skyrim to see how things have progressed. In this feature we have compared character models, environments, a beautiful river and first person view.
Do check them out and let us know your thoughts in the comments below."
As The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered takes up 125GB, original designer Bruce Nesmith recalls fitting Skyrim into a tiny file size.
Skyrim is still my favorite ES game. I’m playing through it again right now since I never finished it.
IGN : How does the new The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered, released in 2025 for Xbox Game Pass, Xbox Series X|S, Windows PC, Steam, and PS5, compare to the original 2006 Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion released on Xbox 360, played via Xbox Series X/S Backwards Compatibility?
That judicious lack of oversight permeated everything in Bethesda's RPGs, in a positive fashion.
I much prefer a left alone Obsidian and Larian Studios. Bethesda's formula has grown old for me.
Larian hit another level with DOS:2 and then took it even further with BG3. They do high quality work.
I agree, I found it an interesting game. But nowhere near worth the hype (unless you include mods)
Skyrim blew my mind when it released. That game took me to the gaming, promisedland. Going back to it when it was updated for the PS5, it felt slightly rough around the edges, but great for its time
We should leave Obsidian alone. Bethesda on the other hand should be kept under constant psychiatric observation.
I've invested more than 100 hours in it and the visuals were remarkable aswell.
I'm going to buy Skyrim when it releases. It'll be just too awesome to miss. It's good to know, it looks better than its predecessor.
The last picture of the set really shows how much the environments have evolved in Skyrim. Can't wait!
Skyrim could look like the melted chocolate scene from dumb and dumberer for all I care, its the gameplay I'm interested in
