Support NeoGAF

[sncvsrtoip]

Little interested as looks quite nice and didnt play original but: 1) I couldnt get into morrowind and skyrim for some reason 2) just finished kcd2 and afraid comparison can be dreadful for oblivion remake/remaster

 

[Dusktildawn48]

I'm using RTX HDR on my end w/ no issues. Sometimes you have to open the game once, close it, and then open it again.

How did you get the game to appear on the Nvidia app? Or did you add a certain exe?

 

[SiahWester]

Just get gamepass ultimate pc for a month and play it via xcloud.

Too late already bought it. Plus no mods would be sad.

 

[analog_future]

I would just try restarting your computer and it should show up

 

[JimmyRustler]

Is it me or did they get rid of the map you can access when inside the caves and mini dungeons? I just completed a fort and I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to look at that 2nd map screen.

You have to zoom in max, then zoom again and then you're in the local map. It's a bit confusing at first.

 

[dEvAnGeL]

Do the cities/towns have more npcs or are the same as the original release?

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

Actual physical version available?

 

[Denton]

I was firmly on the "this should be called remake" camp but after playing first couple hours, it is really a mix. The shitty stuff like people disappearing into thin air when going inside door and thus loading different cell and all the loading screens are still here, combat is still terrible, dialogue is the same (bad) etc.

It will be fun for nostalgia and to see the new visuals, but Oblivion aged badly and this does not really help with that. It is not RE4 level remake.

 

[JimmyRustler]

Same. It's a Remaster. They didn't add anything content wise.

 

[Diddy X]

I never finished it back in the day due to the clunky gameplay and graphics, I wanna try it now and see what happens.

Clunky gameplay and nice graphics?

 

[crazepharmacist]

so, I'm only able to select 3840x1080 on my G9 OLED on Steam. It's 32:9 super ultrawide and it looks like it's my monitors native resolution as the game looks great but that's 5120X1440. Confused why that's not an option as it supports 32:9 ratio.

 

[cormack12]

Thank you for the gold John Marston

Just in time before pay day!!

 

[vkbest]

There is stuttering every now and then but no, it isn't shit. Most of the time it is fine.

Most the time? you mean the first 30 minutes?

 

[JimmyRustler]

Clunky gameplay and nice graphics?

Slightly less clunky gameplay please.

 

[Lucifers Beard]

Only just finished the quest at the inn as I left the sewers. I loved this game back when it first came out and it feels like I'm playing it again for the first time which is exactly what I wanted.

 

[Kerotan]

Microsoft continuing their speedrun of releases on ps5. Next up Forza horizon 5 in a few days, then age of empires 2 and doom straight after.

Makes you wonder what they have cooking for the summer.

 

[Mattyp]

Downloading now, the premier was at 1am so didn't stay awake for it 6am now and installing and sorting the boys out and having an early day for this one.

 

[TintoConCasera]

Lol at how the mushrooms disappear when you gather them.

So far my only complaint is the damn ue5 lumen ghosting effect. Aside from that it's a very nice remaster. Combat seems to feel better than the original, like there is more "oomph" to it.

 

[Kerotan]

You're a good man John Marston

 

[crazepharmacist]

Is there HDR support on PC? I don't see an option for it.

I agree. I love it, but… it's still Oblivion. For better or worse. On PC at least, I feel like the biggest selling point for veterans of the original is just creating a gorgeous Cyrodiil sandbox for modders.

 

[The_Observer]

This is absolutely amazing, everything about this. I only saw the stream but it's clear that it was created with love by people who care about it. They upgraded the visuals and animations to match the current industry standards and changed just enough to modernize the game, without sacrificing the things why we loved the original. And in addition to this, they just released it on the same day. This is something remarkable and unique in the industry, and I love it. It's one of my favorite games and I'm so joyful that this is happening with it. There is only one problem. I want this on disc and it seems there is no info about that so far. The only reason I could keep myself of hype buying it digitally is that I want to finish FF7 Rebirth (another amazing game) before jumping into anything else. But I can't wait, hopefully the physical release is coming soon as well.

 

[Arsic]

Expert mode is kicking my ass.

Few issues:
-Had stutters and freezes on ps5 pro performance mode
-character creator I picked black hair and it looked blonde in creator. Black in game. Weird bug.

 

[Rex_DX]

Perhaps the most important question:

Does the paintbrush glitch still work?

 

[MarV0]

Steam version ran great for me (QHD - RTX 3080, 5800x3d) until I got out of the sewers. Then it was choppy and chuggy for a good long while. I'm hoping that's not going to be the case the whole time.

I got up to the town with the first Oblivion gate and had to break for work. Overall it seems great. I just hope the performance isn't as bad as the impression I got there at the end of my session.

I would check that you're not running out of VRAM.

 

[Kenneth Haight]

Looks cool. Never played the original so this goes on the backlog.

 

[basement dweller]

They removed male/female character creation and it's now "body type 1" and "body type 2".

It still feels like Oblivion with most It's jank, albeit better graphics. It's mostly the same game with a fresh coat of paint.

It's good but glad it wasn't $70. Quality mode on base ps5 runs kinda ass.

 

[nnytk]

Very tempted to buy this, but I read the PS5 version has stuttering. Even on the Pro.

Any news on this? Updates incoming?

 

[TintoConCasera]

character creator I picked black hair and it looked blonde in creator. Black in game. Weird bug.

Same thing happened to me on PC.

 

[rofif]

I'm not joking: I think Bethesda should keep the "Gamebryo for logic + UE 5 for graphics" combo for their next game.

It's the best of both worlds. And if Virtuos with a limited budget was capable of going this far with the graphic updates, Bethesda should be more than capable of delivering even better results.

Looks gorgeous while keeping all the systems that are important for a Bethesda game

Everyone was joking about how terrible this game would perform with both engines at the same time, but I bit my tongue.

the problem is that this combination does not suppor indoors and outdoors at the same time.
Everything is instanced in gamebryo.

 

[Topher]

Most the time? you mean the first 30 minutes?

No....I mean "most of the time" throughout the game. The frame drops do happen, but it isn't a constant thing by any stretch.

 

[Kenneth Haight]

A few quick and dirty shots at Max settings | 4K DLAA :

Game is stunning. Running at a locked 120fps so far on my rig.

 

[Miles708]

All right I caved and picked it up on base PS5.

My download will be done in a few minutes.

I will report back later with performance, if anybody has any questions about base PS5, ask and I will try my best to answer them because I've been frustrated for the past couple hours not finding answers to things I'm curious about.

If they announce a physical version later today I'm gonna hate myself though.

Let me know performance on base console if you can, i still can't find exact data.
Does it run at 60? Is there a performance/quality selector?

 

[vkbest]

No....I mean "most of the time" throughout the game. The frame drops do happen, but it isn't a constant thing by any stretch.

First portal/gate under 48fps until you get into a tower, horse travel? under 48fps. Multiple stuttering and drops in open world. 5 npc in screen? under 48fps. Not even a good experience in a VRR screen.

 

[R6Rider]

Holding out for a physical version.

 

[clarky]

Bit of traversal stutter out in the open world. Nothing game breaking but hopefully gets sorted.

 

[Braag]

Can't even begin to describe how nostalgic this game is making me lol
It was the game I put hundreds of hours into when I had just moved on my own and was studying at 18.
It was a fairly rough time for me due to some real life family problems I had back then, and this game helped me so much during that time.
Playing the remaster and hearing the music and seeing the familiar locations is a crazy feeling.

 

[Topher]

How are you determining the frame rate?

 

[Antwix]

great to see it's much less "brown-ish" compared to those leaked screenshots. looking good!

 

[jshackles]

Holding out for a physical version.

Bought the game on Steam, but will double-dip for a physical console release

 

[FoxMcChief]

Fuck. I hate when I have choice.

I can't decide if I prefer first person or third person.

 

[Roberts]

Man, this is incredible. I don't think I ever felt the same way playing a remaster. It's both familiar and yet feels like something new.

 

[Radical_3d]

Slightly less clunky gameplay please.

Hmmmm…

They made the skooma addicts pretty easy to spot, I'd say….

HHHMMMMMMMMMM…

-Slightly less clunky gameplay
-Nice graphics
-49 US Euros?

 

[bigdad2007]

So they shadow dropped it to avoid all the negative press about the body type 1/2 stuff right?

Is this the new strategy to bypass YouTube hate avalanches?

 

[cormack12]

I mean.....between that guy and all the guards wearing pink, is there something about Skingrad I should know?

Thats nothing, they race into battle shouting 'Fore Skingrad'

 

[vkbest]

How are you determining the frame rate?

It's pretty obvious when the game is stuttering and the framerate is not even on VRR range, I don't need to watch a DF video to realize. Also I can display VRR stats on my TV.

People is always complaining for Silent Hill 2 on PS5 Pro, and this game performance is much worse.

 

[RoadHazard]

Performance is shit on PS5 Pro. Open world is full of stuttering, but on portals performance is around 40-45

Well, I'm out then. I only have a base PS5, guessing it's worse there.

 

[FoxMcChief]

Ah....you know what? I was thinking after I posted that I seemed to recall something like this, but wasn't sure. I just googled it and yeah, this is what you are thinking.

PS5 Pro has heavy stuterring in the open.

Well more than one saying it so guess it is just me. Like I said, I've noticed some stutters here and there, but for the most part it has been fine.
