Lmao $85 (Aussie dollars) for what amounts to a texture/model mod lmao
Holy shit, I got Baldur's Gate 3 recently on sale for less than this lazy remaster of a 19 year old game.
Gamers are lapping this shit up too. What happened to the rage people had for the Switch 2 being expensive?
This isn't true. It has some significant changes, but still feels like the original. They nailed it.
There is new voice acting, and voices are effected by your position to the speaker. They improved the leveling system. They added sprint. The combat feels similar, but is a lot less janky. Of course the improved VFX and SFX. There is probably other things. But it's definately more than a remaster. It feels like a remake.
Also it's actually a different engine. Or at least partially? Apparently it's unreal for graphics but the crusty ass Gamebryo for gameplay according to wikipedia.
Nyahahaha, for some reason i can use my VPN again despite not renewing it in over a year
That's like 50e tho, not bad (idk what's the median salary in AU tho)
Btw its already been cracked for pirating. I'm gonna renew my VPN later cause I've been wanting an Oblivion fix for a while.
oh thank god. I was surprised by how much I want this but I can’t bring myself to fork over any more nostalgia bux to the house of Todd
Let me know if it still has the funi voices
From what I've seen, they kept the original voices.
But the deluxe edition gives you bonus horse armor!
Remember when people actually got upset about this sort of thing? When horse armor for the original oblivion was used as an example of game companies just being extremely greedy and blatantly anti-consumer? Haha, remember when gamers actually took issue with DLC and "upgrades" that did nothing but provide an empty cosmetic change to the game?
Normalization or something.
I remember when dlc used to HUGE addition to the games (even then there were criticized), and not just stuff cut out from the actual game and sold as day 1 dlc.
we were right to be mad at the time
Horse armour was only like $3 and ppl got mad.
I guess it proves simply complaining about it does nothing because the market will just do what it wants.
I'm starting to think that this whole "free market" thing doesn't actually solve consumer's problems and only makes them worse...
Deluxe edition also gets you an art book and the soundtrack
I have no idea who can afford this shit atm.
Also please fuck off with forever culture. Things can be in the past. It's ok to move on.
You can afford it. Everything is free if you steal it. Take back your common inheritance.
Arrrrr….
I thought that it was basically just a texture mod at first, too, but apparently this is an unreal engine 5 game, so it actually is a lot more than a texture mod. Even if they call it remastered, it is essentially a full remake. I wonder what this means for the future of the Gamebryo engine.
It's unreal doing the graphics but apparently it's still Bethesda's engine doing the rest of the game. I'm sure they updated some stuff but it's gonna play pretty damn similarly to Oblivion
The logic is the same as Oblivion and it plays exactly like that. It's a remaster not a remake.
NAIN HANDREED DOLLARIDOOS?!
T O B I A S
Ive used this as an opportunity to be real fun at parties and point out to libs “Bethesda is on BDS, so this is kinda like Hogwarts Legacy and you’ll have to decide if a video game is worth it.”
you’ll have to decide if a video game you probably already played over a decade ago is worth it
Just adding an extra detail in there lol
skyblivion isn't on BDS
Yes
It doesn't even seem to have Denuvo, so it should be easy to pirate too.
what happened to ethics in gaming?
People were mad at nintendo because theyre racist af, more than anything
Bethesda fans are a different breed to the ones getting mad about Nintendo
They're outraged they changed Gender to Body Type
did they? do any of us care?
We're all going to mod in massive hogs for either body type so what's it matter?
GIB MONEYS NOW
I guess there's no more marrow in the bones of skyrim?
Where's the remaster of their last actually good game? Daggerfall?
Why not an expansion to Starfield?
There was an expansion to Starfield, IIRC nobody liked it.
Fucking Starfield…I had forgotten about that one.
a ton of people i know are super excited for this
i don't get it
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

I read that $15 DLC thing as like the upgrade from the original game and thought "at least they discounted it for people who already bought it" but realized that's just the premium shit. Original game with all the DLC is $25CAD and I assume that goes on sale down to half that pretty frequently. Plus piracy is still an option.
Thanks for the price hike normalization, Nintendo.
