Oblivion is aggressively verdant. The fuck happened?
They are pursuing "realism" but the pursuit of realism also means that you must sacrifice strong artistic style, because style is - by very definition - deviation from realism.
It's April. Have you looked outside lately? Reality's pretty fucking green.
Skyrim was already grey rpg. They can't do that again. So now it's brown rpg. Maybe next we'll get fuchsia.
Brown RPG was the one before that!
They kind of did fuschia with the shivering isles iirc
If that is the only difference you can see you need some new glasses
Don't worry everyone free labour will fix it
Skyblivion better
Look, if it plays as good or better than the original without the Skyrim enshitification then I don't carer how it looks. If it plays like Skyrim though, I'll hate it even more.
But the unique colors and style of Oblivion are why I remember it kind of fondly. By losing that, it turns into generic RPG #5263...
Honestly all this game needs for a 10 out of 10 from me is to be able to take the annoying fan to Dive Rock, cast paralysis on him and give him a little nudge.
With all that brown it's as if they accidentally took the Fallout 3 colour palette instead of Oblivion's. Doing a replay now and (Pip) boy, I forgot how bland the Capital Wasteland looks before you get used to it.
Obsepion
This sums up my opinion of the new Assassins Creed. It's a beautiful world but half the time I can't actually see anything because I'm either blinded by sunlight or shaded by darkness.
I'm still excited for it.
What are you guys even complaining about here? The color pallette? Really?
Never said I wasn't excited friend, I would love to have another romp through my childhood. I complain because I love this game, and would like to see it how I remember. If it comes out with the brown filter over it, it's whatever, it's oblivion it will get modded back.
But I daresay there's much worse things we could be doing online than griping about an old favorite, harmless fun I'd say.
good, always hated that goofy ass bright ass color palette of oblivion
You guys know these are still officially not confirmed leaked pics?
Even if it really comes out and the screenshots are real are you really so bored that you just decided to hate something based on this?
The over saturated, bright environments are a key factor to the vibe of Oblivion. Them somehow regressing to Gears of War brown is a terrible sign. Even if its just in those few regions.
I know this, played Oblivion since day 1 and would also like a faithful remaster/remake.
I just don't undurstand why do this hate-circlejerk based on leaked unofficial info.
The piss filter is back baby!
What is old is new again
Freakin' VGCATS, my man! What a blast from the past
That comic is still alive!?
Kinda. The website was inactive for a few years there, and only recently started updating again. The author was focusing on Patreon, which was reportedly porn of the VGCats characters.
Not really. It's porn now.
We've known since the 2010s that brown equals realism.
Oblivion without its megasaturation and bloom is gonna look weird
Right? I grew up in oblivion so when Skyrim came out with its dull brownish greys I was super disappointed, still can't really get into the game that much. Then a miracle happened and the Witcher 3: blood and wine came out. Toussaint was such a breath of fresh air, it reminded me that why I loved fantasy games was to feel like I was in a fantasy
That expansion was marvelous, nearly hit every note for me and I say that as someone with otherwise very mixed feelings for Witcher 3.
The ghosting of the sword, the overly wavy reflections in water, the sun burning your retinas. 15 frames of perfection every second!
You can actually get bonus ghosting if you switch to FSR Performance with frame gen!
The brown is bad, but to be fair to the right side, it's the left one that has bad reflections and is blurry - it was released when bloom effects were new and it used them way too much.
