I’m pretty curious about this. I tried Oblivion a few years ago having never played it before and it just felt too clunky for me to want to play much past the tutorial. Which is a shame because I’ve heard there’s a lot of cool stuff in the game I didn’t get to see.

If this makes things feel better to play and is a good all around remaster, maybe I’ll pick it up and give it another go.

Got the weekend booked for this. Excited just roam around and see how things have changed. Seems like it runs flawlessly on Linux too!

Even though I have been gaming since Pong (my first game console), I have never played any Elder Scrolls games. This trailer's voice over is new to me, and it is so strange and nostalgic to hear Patrick Stewart's young and vibrant voice on the trailer for a game released this morning.

Haha, I wondered at first if that was Patrick Stewart, and then decided it wasn't. Glad I was wrong.

He's almost the age of the emperor now.

90% of Oblivion's voice acting budget must have gone to paying for Patrick Stewart and Sean Bean to say a few dozen lines. It's long been a meme that basically every other person in Cyrodill shares the same six or seven voice actors.

I straight up got emotional during the trailer and announcement stream. Oblivion was the first RPG of this kind that I ever played and was one of my favorite games in middle school. Hopefully it's a stable release because I wanna play that shit as soon as I get home from work.

I am pretty disconnected from this videogame series, is Oblivion now the best looking game from Bethesda? (It should be as it is the most recent game I suppose) Would you recommend it over Skyrim graphical and gaming/story wise? Would a new Skyrim remastered game with these assets would be near the horizon? lol.

As much as I like Skyrim, I don’t think there’s a general consensus that the earlier games were better written.

Personally, until I played Phantom Liberty, the Shivering Isles was the best expansion I had ever played for any game. I’ll leave it to you to discover, if you get the game, but allow me to say it is delightful and different and a ton of fun.

Decisions, decisions: get this for my ps5, or wait until my pc build is done. Prob the latter, just need a couple more things and I've waited this long, what's another couple weeks.

Sweet, never played it and have it in my backlog, so a remaster helps :)
