The Oblivion remake rumor thread

This flew under my radar.

'Modernize', monetize and ultimately fuck up. From what I understand it was going to be a remake in Unreal5 with the original gameplay mechanics. How they intended to do that with the original voice actors and sound track is a mystery since the'd have to pay for that again or not use them.

At first (to me anyway) it sounded like it's something they could slap together pretty quickly, grab some cash and derail Skyblivion. Now there are rumblings that 'modernize' also includes 'modern audience' and FUCK-THEM-NO-THANKS. Doesn't matter if an outside team is doing the remake, it still has to clear corporate and that's when they'll start fucking it up.

I'll wait for Skyblivion.

Is it a rumor? I thought it was confirmed. I don't keep up with them to care.

Nothing Bethesda does is out of goodwill. I see this nothing more than to foster more cash from their ~~fans~~ sheep. I only expect them to do this with the rest of their older titles.

I was hoping for Skyblivion and SkyWind, but since it's not going to be available for LE (only SE), I have nothing to look forward to from any of this.

It hasn't been officially announced by Microsoft or Bethesda, so I'm taking it all as rumor.

If they did, it would be crap. They would "update it" and make it so. I have no trust that Bethesda or even Microsoft will be capable of doing anything right in regards to games, Oblivion specifically.

In fact, I would be perfectly happy if they never updated it.

I just thought. They might have floated that rumor to see if there is a public following and desire. It is cheaper to remake it and with all the new games failing it might be more profitable as well.
