Wasn’t the Oblivion remaster kind of crap? I’m a shameless Oblivion nostalgia fanboy, but even I avoided it in lieu of waiting for Skyblivion.
And seeing how NV uses Oblivion's engine, meaning they’ll probably use the same dev strategy… uh, why are folks getting so excited?
The remaster was awesome IMO and oblivion was always my favorite elder scrolls.
The graphical upgrade as well as the Unreal Engine scripting giving access to new modding possibilities it has been an all around great up date and has popped oblivion back into my game rotation.
Isn’t performance horrible though? I thought frametime consistency was crazy even on really fast hardware.
I have it running usually around 55-60 fps, that with a 3070 running it.
Thought you’re correct in that they seem to have not done too much to optimize it and it’s inherited many of the same issues as the base game had.
Luckily a lot of the mods pretty much directly ported though so it has basically 20 years of modding support
The "inherited" mod support is very interesting, indeed. Upon investigation, "full" Skyblivion is also farther away than I thought, as it doesn't include the Shivering Isles yet (my favorite part of the game).
...So yeah, perhaps I'm more optimistic now. Not hyped, but still.
