    They don’t have the creativity or the engine capability to recreate morrowind unfortunately.

    I’d love to be proven wrong. But I won’t. I don’t want Morrowind in the Skyrim engine. I want to fly.

      To be fair, the remaster used UE5. Bethesda is apparently not above some engine fuckery, and there’s also remade engine for morrowind in the form of OpenMW. Do I know what I’m talking about here? No, not at all, but if someone explains to me why I’m wrong I’ll be all the smarter for it, so fuck it. Posting this.

        The remaster used unreal 5 for the graphics and creation for the game logic. It’s still the same shitty creation engine it always has been

          Well, I guess that’s a step up, somewhat. Starfield ran like hot garbage on my steam deck, so I’m glad they did that.

          I can’t blame them for using the same framework. Porting a game between engines sucks 7 tons of ass, especially when it wouldn’t even more their biggest project happening at the moment, and the bigger project uses the old engine most likely.

      It’s already being done. Look up TESR Skywind. Probably won’t be done any time soon, but it is coming along nicely.

    I don’t get the hate. If a game is fun to play, then I’d much rather have the option of playing it with better graphics. People ITT are acting like the existence of remasters prevents new games from being made, which I don’t believe is actually the case. The bulk of the work on Oblivion Remastered wasn’t even done by Bethesda developers, but by an external company that specialises in art production.

    I wish they’d do a proper remaster of Might & Magic VI in a modern game engine.

    Oblivion Remastered is fucking awesome though. Blown away it manages to maintain what makes it fun, quirky, and bad and add new fun, quirky, and bad aspects to itself. It has genuinely been a blast to the past as someone who is now an adult that started playing Elder Scrolls as a teen.

    I would love to see Morrowind next. Hate all you want Bethesda absolutely picked the perfect Elder Scrolls game to remaster.

    Who asked for this? Can bethesda just make a new game ffs. They have been releasing skyrim for a decade. Dont get me started on Space skyrim, that gets good after the first 12 hours.

    Come up with a new engine, a new concept and just make a good game.

    (I am aware they have made more games, but putting dishonored aside, they arent good games. I mean they made redfall ffs)

    I don’t understand why people are talking so much about a has-been studio’s remaster of its worst entry to the series. anything to avoid making tes6 I guess.

      I’d call you a killjoy, but I’m still having a lot of fun with it, so you obviously didn’t succeed. I guess you’re just boring then.

        not as boring as tes4 but yeah never said I was exciting. weirdly defensive by the way, I don’t know what’s supposed to be “succeeding” here: you either agree and aren’t playing, or disagree and are playing.

            yeah it’s called having an opinion. idk why gamers can’t handle it. death threats for 7/10 reviews and shit. you can just move on without getting personally offended.

            I understand making a case for something you enjoy for people who don’t, maybe give people a perspective they might have not considered. but notice how neither of you gave any reason why tes4 isn’t the worst in the series. because it is.

            it has Patrick Stewart though so that’s not a claim a lot of games can make.
