  Yeah it’s called “The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered” after all.

    I’m not that deep into gaming news, I’ve heard rumors of a remake, so I’m surprised.

      For all intents and purposes it seems to be a remake. It’s just stupidly named, so it makes the confusing stuff even more confusing.

        All of the quests, game logic, AI (including brain dead NOC interactions), voice acting, etc, are exactly the same as in the original and are actually driven by original GameBryo engine. They only rerecorded some lines to add unique voices to NPCs of different races and made some minor gameplay tweaks. The only major changes are graphical - UE5 is used for rendering, all meshes, textures, landscapes and animations are redone.

        It’s still creation engine with UE5 stapled on top, the only gameplay change was making the leveling system more like skyrim.

  Kinda in between the two tbh.

  Technically, it IS a full remake since they used an entirely different engine (UE 5) instead of revamping and upgrading the original. But according to everything I’ve read and seen, it’s still faithful enough to be called a remaster.

    Did they actually remake everything in UE5? I thought they only use that for rendering, with all the logic still running in the original engine.

      I didn’t know this was possible, but according to this comment, you are right, they literally retrofitted the entire game engine into UE 5 somehow, so the gameplay should be identical.
