I just hope to God they don't change the soundtrack.

Shadow dropping is becoming a viral thing. Do people really think millions won't play it because there wasn't a trailer 6 months in advance.
I think GTA 6 is going to break the internet (and real life) by announcing a release date 1 month in advance.

If its shadow dropping next week there's no way they are going to change that realistic look. It's the one thing I loved so much in Oblivion, the lush, green, vibrant fantasy look of it and one of the things I disliked in Skyrim. It does not need that realistic look. The structure and inside the city looks great, but the green should be.....well,more green.

Something I've been thinking alot about lately is voice acting and how AI will impact it.
Imagine for a moment we have the original voice acting files recorded for Oblivion which, lets be honest are pretty bad by todays standards.. and we now have AI tools which can generate any kind of realistic voice, replica of celebrities, pretty much anything. What is stopping developers or modders from using AI to recreate better voice acting?
Surely it is doable by now... similarly, the same tools could in theory be used to add voice acting to old games, no? this is exciting to think about since some of my favourite cRPG's of al rime had little to no voice acting at all.

I have no idea how modding is going to work with this game if its basically two engines stacked on top of each other, but I would guess that reshade presets are going to be very popular.

This is why its shadow dropping. You cant please everyone. Individuals like yourself will complain why the grass strands are a hue of green that doesnt vibe with your nostalgia.

What's the point? Extra 15 copies sold (this will be on GP anyway)? The market is clearly somewhere else, might as well roll with it.

Well currently there is still a voice actors strike about exactly that. Only devs who refute outright using AI like the new GTA 6 game are still being produced.

Oh yeah, their dungeon design could definitely be improved. Morrowind and Skyrim at least got too types of ruins like Dwemer and Daedric for Morrowind and Nordic and Dwemer for Skyrim. Oblivion only had one tileset for the ruins which is Ayleid. Oblivion also gets more repetitive due to the world being more open, having tons of Oblivion gate, and less diverse dungeons compared to the other 2. It's still extremely fun and has a amazing first time experience but just worse for replays compared to Morrowind and Skyrim in my opinion.
Skyoblivion is mixing these issues by trying to make a lot of things more interesting so hopefully Oblivion Remake does the same.
Yeah GTA VI would be the biggest game ever although a similar thing could be for Elder Scrolls since games like Elder Scrolls VI, Witcher 4, and Fallout 5 are also easily the biggest games out there in popularity and fan hype just one step below GTA VI but still higher than even other big games like Monster Hunter, Elden Ring, etc etc.
Look into Skyoblivion since they keep the high saturated colors from the OG made with the Skyrim engine and improving a lot of things from the OG. It's planned release date is 2025.

I don't think they want to keep it quiet. Surely a phone call could have kept this quiet if they wanted to, but I don't think they did. It just doesn't feel like an organic leak...but maybe it is. Otherwise how did this leak at the very end after years of development? If this was a real leak, then this is the kind of leak that Nintendo would end a relationship over, lol. I don't think MS is mad.
They want the prestige of a shadowdrop but they wanna spread the word beforehand. Everybody wanna be a shadowdrop until it's time to do shadowdrop shit.

Leak is more of a marketing the. Real marketing is. Only a fool would spend millions for a marketing campaign nowadays
