It's just so weird. This apparently is dropping April 21st and all we have are leaked screenshots and still no official announcement, not even a trailer. I really hope that's not an indication of a not so great remaster/remake.

Yea, people were super excited about NG2 Black until people played it lol.

Of course NG2B was a genuine surprise, they screwed this up bad.

So glad about this, oblivion was PC launch experience for me. I wish I remembered it more, but just know I was zoned the fuck into this game, and made my woodland elf archer be able to one hit everything in stealth mode.

I just bugged a real Xbox chat support tech for 30 minutes about the existence of this game. The most provocative thing he said was that the original game could easily be run at 60 fps and there's no reason current consoles couldn't do it with the improvements. The guy said he can't comment on unannounced games. He then directed me to bethesda.net for any further questions about it.

I specifically asked about the remaster and leaks the internet is talking about currently.

Why would you bother an Xbox chat support person? It's not like they're going to have a single clue. That's like going to McDonalds and demanding that the cashier tell you what unannounced menu items are in R&D at McD headquarters.

You know, that would be one of the best cosmic 'fuck you's' to sell horse armor again for $2.99

The horse armor could be seen on the cover of the boxart mock up if you squinted haha

Seems dumb to me that they'd release this on a Monday. Why not a Friday? Let everyone enjoy the game over the weekend.

I'm assuming it's some special date of some form? Is there a stream that's planned or something?

Fun fact, the title of the video says remake. 🤷‍♂️



But the original runs at 60+fps.

Just trying to get a response out of them with a generic question.

Because support dropped the info about release date and game pass day one two or three days ago.

Worst bit about this shadow drop business - means I won't be able to preload this on Gamepass doesn't it? Was hoping to trigger it while I was off at work, but now I hope won't have to spend hours downloading it instead of playing it.

This is going to be the longest weekend ever :lollipop_neutral:

And it might be the longest start of a week too, because we don't know for sure if it'll happen on Monday. Grubb corrected himself by saying it would happen next week so it could be Friday for all we know.

For now, I'm waiting for an announcement of a live stream or something because I don't see them dropping it like that.

Not 100% sure I'll get this. It still looks great on XSX at 4k/60fp and loads quick. It surprisingly holds up. Draw distance is the one noticeable issue.

I also don't want much changed or else it looses it's charm.

Getting out of the dungeon for the first time. With Peace of Akatosh kicking in. I was just enjoying the views.

Its really great, like, here is this linear tutorial, and here are the keys.. do what you want.

I liked Skyrim too but its overall feel never resonated with me as much as Oblivion did.
 
If Microsoft were smart, they would shadow drop the game today - the Friday before a holiday weekend, instead of waiting until next week when it will interfere with another Day One Gamepass release.

It's true. I am assuming South of Midnight is getting its 1 week of fame and it got pushed back because this makes too much sense. Also the leaks thought earlier in the month.

Best foliage swaying techinque .Band aid but beautiful trees shadow , big open world without fog that you can see the horizon (at high settings) . Physics , moving chain .

So heavy that high end PC couldnt even look as good as the console .
