Only $50 for a full remake and it actually includes the DLC. Now that is how you do it.
I'm not seeing that. The only thing I see extra on the Deluxe Edition are the armor sets, art book, and soundtrack. Where did you see the exclusive quests?
At the end of the trailer at 2:08 it says "new quests for unique armors' under the deluxe digital edition.
Ah, thanks.
You can also see it on their Deluxe Edition splash screen.
Well those quests were in the original, it are literally quests to get the horse armor dlc...
But it's not as though Bethesda/MS had to set that aside for The Deluxe Edition. They could've easily forgone one altogether or had a DE that only had supplementary extras not within the game: digital artbook, soundtrack, and/or maybe a downloadable graphic novel.
Yeah but I just wanted to point out that the quests are for the horse armor,.
Including the horse armor, believe it or not!
We've come full circle to in our current irony-suffused age that marketing can now frame Horse Armor as a quaint microtransaction of the good 'ole days. And it's pretty damn effective too.
This looks FANTASTIC!!
Yes! Yes!
Bethesda showing the world how Renasters should be done. Grab an old game, include all the content, make it a night and day difference in visusls and charge less for a full price game. Finally someone gets it.
I don't think anyone could have asked for more. Excellent presentation, excellent value.
This is just amazing. And the game looks gorgious! Will not work a lot today... Download is almost done :D
i couldnt wait for the download... so i loaded it up through xcloud. It looks great.
to answer your question, yes. Currently the "cloud" side of PS+ premium only has a limited number of titles to choose from while "remote play" is only limited by ones own game selection on the PS5. This is using the Portal (for ex) as the means to do the remote/cloud gaming.
I was thinking this game was on PS+ like it is on Gamepass and then realized what Cosmic was saying was for remote play, not cloud play. It may end up on cloud play if sony decides to add it to PS+.
Yeah I would be surprised if any new Microsoft first party titles launch on any other streaming service other than Game Pass. Older Microsoft titles have been added to PS+ before, but they've been games that originally released pre-Microsoft acquisition.
Sony would need to pay a pretty hefty sum to have something like Oblivion added. Because it would degrade Game Pass having a new first party title on a competing service.
No I am saying it's already Streamable on PS5 with PSPlus. This feature allows you to stream games you purchased to the PS5 without having to download it. Most new games on PS5 do this. This feature has been a part of PSPlus Premium since it's rollout.
The question that we were talking about is when all your purchased games will also be streamable through the portal. This feature hasn't been added yet.
Bruh... this is 10x what I was expecting
Dead gorgeous!
4K/60 on Console, all major dlc included, $50.... Thats the biggest W any developer has taken in a long long time
This.Game.Amazing!!!
Does the game still hold up well mechanically, after we got titles like skyrim and the witcher? Does it still off something unique?
They're using the original games engine at the core with Unreal being the new coat of paint. They've modernized the levelling system (thank god) but everything is still the original Oblivion. I think the game still has the best main story and especially the best faction quests in the series. Skyrim was a huge downgrade from Oblivion imo.
But basically, if you didn't like the game originally, then you wouldn't like it here. Unless your main gripe was the levelling system. That's been fixed.
I never got to play it. So i will definitely check it out when i get time , hopefully
Looks solid, I'll put it on my wishlist but probably wont get to it for a year or so.
I think I had my fill back in the day. But this feels nice, like the good old days. When it was just about the game and the excitement, not a battleground for different politics and ideologies.
You don't need to sidetrack this article just because you can. You're doing exactly what many like you complain other games and people of doing, "hijacking the conversation." It not productive in anyway.
So has the levelling system changed?
Yes
Yep, skyrim style.
No more jumping like a loon? Shame. :P
LOL I totally forgot about that haha! Man, a lot of good memories from this game
Wait... we got levels for that?
Here I was just doing it for fun
Yes, acrobats.
Am I gonna have to slaughter the entirety of the dark guild again? : (
Sorry Expedition 33, you'll have to wait a little bit. Too many good games out right now. This will be my first time playing Oblivion.
I must have not seen the same trailer cuz nothing made me want to play it. Beautiful for a Remaster but that's it. The new design of the spriggans is awful and the few gameplay we can see is not enough to convince me that it's not outdated anymore.
I'm told it changes things though, to modernise it and stuff, if it's the same game just a a graphical upgrade that also means it will come with the same exploits?
What was Crash trilogy compared to all these? It is a remake but is near 1 to 1 of the original but with modern "gameplay" as in hit detection making it 100% harder. :P
Not played Silent Hill 2 remake, so can't comment there. But FF7R was basically an entirely different genre, gameplay and story, just with the same characters.
It does indeed have the same exploits and jank the original game had. It's still the same engine at the core with Unreal just displaying the graphics. But the game systems themselves, is still Gamebryo from 2006. The only real modernization they really adjusted was the leveling system. First half hour of the game and I already had the glitch of someone standing between you and the NPC talking to you so you can't actually see their face lol. They explain they did that so Oblivion remastered still has the same "feel" and "charm" as the original.
The key difference is that remasters use the originals source code, which Oblivion absolutely is using. Vicarious Visions said they didn't use any of the original source code for Crash Trilogy and they had to recreate the games completely from scratch. Silent Hill 2 (although I mentioned Resident Evil 2 lol) did take that same approach, and because of that, they were able to alter a lot of the original game such as RE4 style camera, adding additional explorable areas, and a bigger emphasis on action.
Bethesda trying to save face
............what?
I'll buy it later this year, skyrim was always dogshit in comparison.
