Comment on The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remaster is real - Eurogamer

  I mean, despite whatever reputation UE5 may have, Oblivion was legendarily buggy. Oblivion defined Bethesda’s reputation for producing bug-riddled games.

  But that is honestly part of the charm.

    Im not denying the bugginess of oblivion I’m more concerned about the general unplayability of a lot of Unreal games in this latest gen

    Like if the bugs were bad when they wrote the code I can’t imagine porting that code into unreal with its famously poor optimizations is anything but the worst case scenario for this remaster lmao

    My hope was that they were porting it to creation 2 with upscaled assets and taking some time to squash the most egregious bugs. Hearing it’s going to be a ue5 port now I’m almost not even willing to give it a chance. We shall see. For all we know, this could just be industry drivel getting us excited about a fake leak.

      The quality of Unreal games is a product of the developer. Plenty of games have been great. Satisfactory and Talos Principle 2, for example.

        Huh, I never knew satisfactory was in unreal. On that point, if they offloaded development to a 3rd party studio does that impact your expectations? Idk who it is but I saw a bunch of people saying it wasn’t Bethesda remaking it

      This is definitely a ground-up remake, not a port with original code.

  The only GTA game I’ve played was the one on the DS, so 🤷‍♂️

        😮

        I remember that one from the PSP but I never played it. I didn’t know it was on DS and mobile too! That’s actually pretty sick. It looks much more like the original GTA games, which is not what I expected. I bet that was neat for the time with gta 4 having just dropped!
