With all that brown it’s as if they accidentally took the Fallout 3 colour palette instead of Oblivion’s. Doing a replay now and (Pip) boy, I forgot how bland the Capital Wasteland looks before you get used to it.
Skyblivion better
good, always hated that goofy ass bright ass color palette of oblivion
Skyrim was already grey rpg. They can’t do that again. So now it’s brown rpg. Maybe next we’ll get fuchsia.
Obsepion
Look, if it plays as good or better than the original without the Skyrim enshitification then I don’t carer how it looks. If it plays like Skyrim though, I’ll hate it even more.
But the unique colors and style of Oblivion are why I remember it kind of fondly. By losing that, it turns into generic RPG #5263…
Oblivion is hugely over saturated. The game feels perfect for that in some areas and like a kids story book in others.
The people commenting the generic “now it’s brown and dull” are just lame. Its just hating to hate really.
Personally, Oblivion is 10x than skyrim even if the game looked like fucking Morrowind I would play it. It is like people on Lemmy have to purposefully hate on something popular so they feel different than the “Normies.”
The game could use a graphical overhaul and the bloom and over saturation hurt my damn eyes in a recent play through. So please tone it down and make it feel more realistic.
Also, lol, the image for comparison is just subjective bullshit bias. It purposefully makes a comparison to make the remaster feel boring. People were all over this style when Skyrim released.
Much like my opinion people don’t have to agree and if you like the way Oblivion looks now versus the graphical overhaul in the leaked screenshot well then the good news is you can still play the original Oblivion. I know, complete shocker.
The point I am trying to make is that Lemmy sometimes feels like the “I am not like other girls” version of Reddit. You guys hate shit just as much as Reddit but in a weirder “I am different so my opinion is better.” Reminds me of a post I saw on here where some guy raved for 4 paragraphs about why he didn’t think the new Deadpool was funny but that his opinion wasn’t like others that didn’t like the new Deadpool because his was more refined and over all carried sophistication I’m his criticism. When in the end all he was saying was, “it wasn’t my kind of humor.” That is Lemmy.
Just say you don’t like something and move the fuck on. Personally, Oblivion is peak Elderscrolls for me. This remaster looks fucking fantastic and I am going go play the fuck out of it. Have a nice day.
I will say, all that aside, there’s one thing I hated about oblivion. The FUCKING OBLIVION GATES, ugh so tedious, when I first learned there was mods I think the first one I downloaded was one that let you skip them for my next playthrough, but I would love to see if they somehow make them less grindy in this one
The people commenting the generic “now it’s brown and dull” are just lame. Its just hating to hate really.
Or they simply have fond memories of the graphical style of Oblivion, and are disappointed that it’s now more “realistic”? I don’t want realistic, I want Oblivion. It’s a fucking fantasy game.

Sure, but we’re not in 2011, so why change the graphical style to fit opinions of that time?

I would love to play a remastered version that keeps the distinct graphical style I fondly remember. I know, a complete shocker.
Just say you don’t like something and move the fuck on.
I did, and you really didn’t like me saying that! I like Oblivion, I really like the graphical style. I don’t like that they are removing the graphical style and making it look like any generic action RPG. If you don’t like my comment, maybe move the fuck on?
Well, here we are. Some 2 or 3 weeks in now.

We have reshades problem solved. Not all fantasy games have to be overly saturated but hey look the remaster is great and you have options.

Lol, why does it have to fit the original style of Oblivion. Stupid fucking argument.

Not a shocker? Just fucking do so? I don’t mind a change in style because the game doesn’t change. Also, stupid argument.

Your comment was pretentious and so here we are on the internet using it as intended.
Don’t worry everyone free labour will fix it
I’m still excited for it.
What are you guys even complaining about here? The color pallette? Really?
We’ve known since the 2010s that brown equals realism.
brown
This trend is quite an explosion.
Add a tiny splash of yellow tint then we get Mexico
Piss*
Pea milk*
Yes, in polluted cities.
Oblivion Remexicoed.
The ghosting of the sword, the overly wavy reflections in water, the sun burning your retinas. 15 frames of perfection every second!
You can actually get bonus ghosting if you switch to FSR Performance with frame gen!
I was so excited. Until I saw it’s going to be UE5. Ah well, Skyblivion it is for me then.
Apparently UE5 only for rendering, the game logic still on the old gamebryo engine.
Because if done well, UE5 is fairly pretty and if it’s used just for graphics, maybe it won’t perform as badly either. The mixture of two engines tells me at the very least that the devs spent some amount of thought and time on the engine(s).
But yea, when it comes out and I find out it runs like crap on my 5700xt, I’ll just wait until Skyblivion is out. Not gonna be too long anyways.
That’s disappointing. So it’s going to have all the logic bugs of gamebryo plus that same annoying graphical feel of UE5
Depends on how much work they put into the graphics. Sure, if they keep UE at default settings, it’ll look like any run of the mill UE5 game. But if they cared enough to combine two engines, maybe they also cared enough to actually make UE5 look and feel more unique and more Elderscrolls-y…
Also, keeping gamebryo for logic might be a good thing to make the game feel more like the original.
It’s Bethesda. They probably did it in a couple months trying to recoup money after the Starfield desaster.
It’s not actually done by Bethesda though but by Virtuos Games, which have both a history of making excellent remasters and miracle ports, and remasters that were very buggy at release.
And if they changed it too much you’d complain and say “it’s too different” you people just loooooove complaining
Honestly they just need to put on a blueish green bloom filter and it’s back to being faithful
The brown is bad, but to be fair to the right side, it’s the left one that has bad reflections and is blurry - it was released when bloom effects were new and it used them way too much.
