Seriously?! LAME

Dont just believe anything you read bud

Maybe he wants gamepass? Maybe he prefers Xbox ecosystem and controller. If rumors are true, the next Xbox will have Steam, giving you Xbox, PS, and Steam games.

Probably just streaming games you own on steam aka steam link/remote play. Not sure how this would work any other way, also wanting gamepass is fine, but ps5 just has bigger li rary, thats all.

Almost time....the jaws of oblivion are re-opening

I was born 87 years ago. For 65 years I ruled as Tamriel's emperor. But for all these years, I've never been the ruler of my own dreams. I have seen the gates of oblivion, beyond which no waking eye may see. Behold! in darkness, a doom sweeps the land. This is the 27th of last seed. The year of Akatosh 433. These are the closing days of the 3rd era... and the final hours of my life.

They misspelled VI. Someone tell Todd that for the sixth installment from ES they need to put the "I" after "V", not before.

As I saw some say on twitter. Hes gonna show up at stream, flip I around and walk away.

 

[Mattyp]

Contention for GOAT if it hits.

 

[Stafford]

Watch this being a late 2025 release, proving the insiders wrong.

Nah, probably not. But I'm not yet getting my hopes up it's dropping this week.

 

[Inviusx]

Welp, ok there's the official stream announcement. Weird way to handle this from start to finish....guess I'm onboard now.

 

[ValiantInstance]

Can't believe this site was down yesterday so I had to spend all afternoon F5ing Reddit. I've never seen so much schizoposting as on the Oblivion subreddit yesterday. Internet Historian could make a video about all of this.

 

[The Cockatrice]

Im surprised a huge company like Bethesda would keep this a secret assuming it shadow drops Today and it's not just an announcement for a 1+ year release. If it is a shadowdrop then it has to be some absolute half-assed remake, there's no way a huge corporation would not want to market this to death, especially a big game like Oblivion.

I mean, a few years ago Todd Howard said he would love to officially announce the game and release it immediately so if that's the case I wouldn't be surprised if he was the one who pitched this idea to Microsoft

LOL, same. Only I was F5ing the PS and Xbox store in hope of this dropping. Even went on Resetera for a minute - what a mistake.

I think they bank on the Elder Scrolls name and Oblivion name to carry the marketing. Especially the amount of chatter a shadow drop would create.

 

[Sybrix]

Suppose this will make up for Starfield some what.

I really hope this shadow dropping starts trending.

It's idiotic that we got Elder Scrolls 6 annouced in 2018 and fuck all since then.

Just annouce and release the games when there ready.

Welcome back

 

[existensmaximum]

I'm so psyched! I've never played this game. I tried to a few years ago but the lack of gamepad support and the incredibly dated graphics etc made it impossible for me to enjoy so this will be very interesting.

I guess, but why would they risk it? Anyway, guess we will see.

Welcome back

Thanks babe.

Seriously?! LAME

Do you realise how many people levelled through this and then got absolutely destroyed by the monsters because these were the only stats raised?

As if a Bethesda game has ever been ready lol

Its probably releasing this year but not today, what gave you that idea?

 

[Emedan]

Hope they've done more to fix the scaling than this though. Just removing easily exploitable skills for leveling isn't really a fix..

M1PSt,

Athletics, Acrobatics, Blunt and Block were removed

To be fair both athletics and acrobatics were dumb skills. Like yeah, you could easily jump on top of a house or run 4 times faster than a horse, but those skills also broke the game countless times for me.

Blunt and block being removed is a bit of a head scratcher.

Havent been following all the rumors and leaks, but assumed shadowdrop would mean release.

Its dropping today. Jeff Grub, Nate, mp1st etc. have said so, theres no reason to doubt them since they got it right this far

The Cockatrice it will release today, ignore him. 11am is reveal then 12 should be out

Really? Its probably not going to be too great then I guess?

 

[ebevan91]

Todd Howard said a couple years ago or so that he's always wanted to do a surprise launch so I guess he finally will do it today.

This remaster has been in making since 2018, Im sure its gonna be good and theyve built a really big hype in last few weeks, im sure it will be just fine. Not long left now anyway, 6hours and will see

Yeah I'm hoping it will be, can't believe it's coming out today.

From where you take it was in the making from 2018?

 

[MMaRsu]

Doesnt mention it started in 2018 but these FTC documents were leaked in 2023

 

[L*][*N*K]

I really think we should bump up the old OT for the remaster

 

[Seomel]

I think I might have had brainfart and i mistook it with es6 reveal year. I think someone reported about dev start year.

 

[Badlucktroll]

 

[mendicant]

I really hope it's a shadow drop. That would be excellent.

 

[Kurotri]

The one thing that irks me about this shadow drop is that I can't preload..120 gigs will take me hours to download goddamnit

 

[anyasok]

Upressed oversized remaster by Failthesda who made the worst game of the generation starfield. I wouldnt play it even if you paid me. This game didnt need a remaster

 

[Seomel]

Well its still better than announcing it for few months out.

 

[Stuart360]

Hopefully the leakers were right and we get a little 'and you can play it....NOW!' at the end of the reveal.

 

[DownLikeBCPowder]

I was talking to a younger coworker about this yesterday and just mentioned that the reveal was official now and he looked at me and said "I don't play souls like games".. wtf. And went on to talk about how Elder Scrolls are souls like. I just said okay dude.

 

[MMaRsu]

Its not being remastered by Bethesda at all.

Also Starfield is hardly the worst game of the generation, but maybe you forgot such classics as Gollum or Kong.

Hyperbole much?

Don't you just love how stupid people are?

 

[DavidGzz]

I'm surprised they would do this to Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 but I don't think that game is for me anyway so idc.

Check his post history. Something tells me he's not the life of the party lol.

I do love turnbased games but if people want to buy that game it will sell

I get it, he's probably mad about something else. I've been there

No. Phil has stated many times about opening up to other storefronts like Steam, Epic. Rumor from many sources is next Xbox will be like a PC.

Now, let's not derail this thread. Oblivion Remaster is going to do numbers. Pretty excited!

 

[Dazraell]

Doesnt mention it started in 2018 but these FTC documents were leaked in 2023

I'm not sure it was from 2018, but to be fair this document was definitely showing data from a few years earlier as projects released in fiscal years doesn't match with their actual schedule. Some good examples are Project Hibiki aka Hi-Fi Rush, Redfall and Starfield releasing in 2023 while being labeled as Fiscal Year 2021

I do love turnbased games but if people want to buy that game it will sell

I think the game's price might be a good incentive for people to buy it. But still, Oblivion remaster potentially dropping the same week and also a few days earlier will definitely steal some of its thunder

 

[SSfox]

I started playing Oblivion around 2015 after hundred hours of Skyrim that I love a lot. I played around 20 hours of Oblivion it was great insane atmosphere and all but it felt outdated in many aspects it hard to ignore after being used to Skyrim.
