A collection of some classic Lemmy memes for your enjoyment
I don't get the hate. If a game is fun to play, then I'd much rather have the option of playing it with better graphics. People ITT are acting like the existence of remasters prevents new games from being made, which I don't believe is actually the case. The bulk of the work on Oblivion Remastered wasn't even done by Bethesda developers, but by an external company that specialises in art production.
I wish they'd do a proper remaster of Might & Magic VI in a modern game engine.
Oblivion Remastered is fucking awesome though. Blown away it manages to maintain what makes it fun, quirky, and bad and add new fun, quirky, and bad aspects to itself. It has genuinely been a blast to the past as someone who is now an adult that started playing Elder Scrolls as a teen.
I would love to see Morrowind next. Hate all you want Bethesda absolutely picked the perfect Elder Scrolls game to remaster.
So we can expect 5 fallout 3 remasters around 2040
The remake trend has been going on for a minuet now and a lot of once great game companies are now just stagnate. Blizzard is another one that comes to mind. If you want new and better games I think you need to start supporting indie games and projects like Godot that make indie game development possible.
They should start going back now. Do Morrowind next.
Morrowind's lore and artistic direction was far superior to Oblivion and Skyrim. I will fight people who disagree with this (not physically though, that hurts).
Absolutely. But at the same time, the base game is not all that approachable. Remake Morrowind with a proper combat system but leave the rest of the gameplay as is. I mean the lack of quest markers and everything. It's awesome the way it is. I'll buy several copies.
I enjoyed the lack of the quest markers. The thrill of exploring the wilderness, trying to find the location, and the haunting cries of a Cliff Racer.
Morrowind remake with Bloodmoon, Tribunal, and new additions on a map larger than Skyrim, in a self-contained portable VR set that also works as a handheld and PC. I will pay $10k for that if I have to live in a cardboard box.
Tamerial Rebuilt, the Cyrodil mod, and the Skyrim mod, with either the Script Extender or with the OpenMW engine will do all of that for you.
Daggerfall when
Well if the pattern is to be followed, we have three more oblivion releases, and 3 more morrowind releases. So that’s like a decade at least
I swear to fuck if this post cancels Morrowind Remastered there will be consequences
Morrowind was the best of the series. I would love to see it remastered and the mods ported.
It's the only RPG I've ever played where I FELT like a destiny changing force of transformation
Because you were probably 12 at most
It was the lack of handholding. Between modular armor, spells and enchantments without guardrails, lack of leveled lists, diverse lore/region based loot, and other things like shopkeepers having a physical inventory you could steal from, you had a kind of freedom and respect for the player that the later games failed to replicate.
There was still a lot of funkiness to it of course between graphics, bugs, severe lack og QoL features, and just being an older game. The chunk loading was miserable, especially on console where you'd walk a few minutes then load just as long. For the era, however, those drawbacks were forgiveable.
They don't have the creativity or the engine capability to recreate morrowind unfortunately.
I'd love to be proven wrong. But I won't. I don't want Morrowind in the Skyrim engine. I want to fly.
To be fair, the remaster used UE5. Bethesda is apparently not above some engine fuckery, and there's also remade engine for morrowind in the form of OpenMW. Do I know what I'm talking about here? No, not at all, but if someone explains to me why I'm wrong I'll be all the smarter for it, so fuck it. Posting this.
The remaster used unreal 5 for the graphics and creation for the game logic. It's still the same shitty creation engine it always has been
To hell with flying. I'll settle for a working ladder.
given how you can use jetpacks in starfield and fallout 4 i hope they bring back flying. probably wont be as insane as morrowind though
People are going to make mods to bring back the older graphics.
I'm putting my bets on Skyrim Remastered before we see Morrowind or TES6.
Or maybe a skyrim-(or fallout-)based battle royale shooter, i could see that being very likely too.
A roguelike metroidvania with soulslike mechanics in the TES universe
At that point just remake Redguard, I am not even joking just remake Redguard please.
Fuck lmfao
I forgot about this meme I fucking loved it.
I'd love to have Oblivion replace Skyrim.
Meanwhile, for those of us who want a new game to play...
This is why AAA sucks. I haven't been excited about a game release in fucking years. It's just the same shit they already released over and over again. They "announced" ES VI over 6 years ago. Not a word since then. Which means at least another 2-3 years minimum.
It was made by a different studio though. This isn't stopping a new ES game from being made. Instead it's allowing them to onboard new devs better so they can help make the next game either better or faster.
