Rumors about a remake of Images for The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion have panned out to be true after leaked images surface online.

Man they sure are milking this game for all its worth. I played through the initial game and it was fun, but don't really see myself going through it again just for some updated graphics.
 
I'd love a proper remake of Oblivion but not sure about this.

It's brown. Have modern game developers ever been to nature? Cuz it's definitely not brown.

Also desexualized for the modern audience, and probably body type A B and no modding support.

West Texas is brown with splashes of green. Felt right at home. We're going back to Quake brown, gray color palette.
 
The question I have is whether this is just a graphical image update or if they've reworked any of the underlying mechanics.

If the updates are just graphical, there's plenty of mods for that. If they change mechanics, most non-graphic update mods will no longer work. At best, this is a waste of time, and at worst it'll anger the existing player base.

So the better question is ... why?

On a side note, I've recently been playing through a heavily modded version of Daggerfall Unity. It's totally free (legit free not community demo free), and aside from a few bugs here and there (a lot less than I remember in the original), it has been fairly enjoyable.

Oh, existing mods most definitely won't work. If rumors are true this uses UE5. The question is whether there will be modding support at all. Because if not that will anger the community. And be a deal breaker for me as well.

For once they won't be using their custom version of the ancient GameBryo engine the Creation engine?!?!?!?!?! I mean, not that UE5 is the best choice to jump to, but good gaaaawd GameBryo/Creation was old as f*ck. They just kept reusing the gawd-dang thing over and over and over and over... minor updates here and there, slapping sh1t on until it was a big mish-mash of crap like how X11/X.Org Server ended up after all these many decades.

Don't get your hopes up. The way I understand it the game still runs on the old engine, UE5 is just used as a graphics wrapper. So in a way this is a bigger mish mash, potentially combining the downsides of both engines.

Reminds me of the story of how RDR1 was made for PS3. Patched the crap out of that engine until nobody knew what was going on.
 
Here's hoping that they at least learn enough to not repeat Starfield's performance issues...

And perhaps open up the potential to make better games.
 
I bought a used Xbox from a friend a very long time ago and pretty sure I picked up the original version of this for ~$5-$10 used at gamestop. Probably put about ten minutes into it back then and put it down after that.

That being said, I got this version on sale recently and started playing it again yesterday. So far have about 3+ hours into an really enjoying it. I like the graphics and controls. It has the usual Bethesda feel but, for now, I'm finding it more enjoyable than Skyrim. I was bummed that it doesn't support HDR but W11 HDR does a good job with it and I'm also enjoying the soundtrack. Game definitely has some retro vibes going on which is really nice. I have a break coming up and really looking forward to spending some time playing this.
