    Bethesdas remaster would probably be nothing more than a version with updated graphics and lighting and support for modern software. This guy is rebuilding the game from scratch in a modern engine.

        Fun fact there were olny six years between Oblivion and Skyrims release. Thats right skyrim has been out longer than the release time between oblivion and skyrim.

          You can add Morrowind to that timeline too, which came out in 2002, so 9 years between Morrowind and Skyrim. Crazy…

          Which happens with most engines. UE5 is an update version of UE4 and so on.

      These people are rebuilding the game from “scratch” in Skyrim’s Creation Engine version, but it’s still nothing more than a version with updated graphics and lightning. Bethesda’s probably going to be using FO4 or Starfield’s CE version, which will have the same result albeit shinier.

      updated graphics and lighting and support for modern software

      even that would be expecting too much, I’ll be shocked if that “graphics update” is anything more than only slightly better texture replacements

        Oblivion already is 4K/60fps on XSX thanks to FPSBoost and resolution enhanced. They’re gonna have to justify if just a bit more than that.

        Fix potato faces and leveling system would be a good start. Add real beards for Nords.
