- This will come out about three days before skyblivion officially releases, in order to REALLY mess up Skyblivion, the same as they did for Fallout London.
- Yea, fan projects (when there is actual work put into it) are often significantly better than AAA remakes.
  
  Fallout London, though not 100% finished, was a blast
Anything to avoid discussing TES6.
- What, the announcement trailer from 2018 isn't enough to hold you over until it launches in 2029?
  
  I kinda wonder if they even have any good ideas left after Starfield was such a disappointment in the creativity department.
Yeah its called skyblivion.
oblivion is my favorite in the series, but goddammit bethesda stop making remakes. make a make.
- I mean, Starfield should have been my dream game, but after that...
  I dunno. All my enthusiasm for BGS has been sapped, and I adored Oblvion.
  
  the scope for starfield was just too much, it was doomed to fail from the beginning. i think they'll be fine going back to their TES roots.
  
  The remake is not developed by Bethesda Game Studios
- Why take a third risk (Fallout 76 and Starfield) on the unknown when you can remake a good thing?
  
  FO76 and Starfield were much much more risky than TES6 or FO5 will be.
- Come on man, gotta get a Morrowind with modern QOL stuff.
- I don't think they've ever realized that Skyrim was a disappointment with better advertising.
  
  To this day it still has a more active community than any other game they've ever made has ever had.
Can't wait for them to remaster skyrim again before TES6
- You joke, but I’d totally be down with an update that integrates better graphics technology and reduces modding issues. Ive played through it half a dozen times in VR and 2d and there’s still plenty of content I haven’t done. Only issue I have these days is the small pool of voice actors so every 5th person has the same voice.
Aww man, are they going to take down Skyblivion right when its done?
- Probably the only reason they did it
  
  Or, perhaps optimistically, it's to prepare themselves to transition off of their absurdly dated engine.
- Bethesda has actually been consistently supportive of Skyblivion, Morroblivion, and Skywind.
Wait a moment. Oblivion is turning 20 years old ??? 😥
- ...ouch
Mod support? Between this and Skyblivion, the one with better mod support wins.
- probably non-existent
- I wonder, can they just cease&desist Skyblivion off the map?
  
  You can send a cease and desist for any reason to anyone at anytime.
  But they wouldn't be able to win in court, the eula of both games explicitly allow using their IP in mods
Oh man, I can't wait for them to reveal it, so I can finally know about it.
I see the title - and first thing I think
"Oblivion, now with 16 times the upscalers" in Todd's voices
i don’t believe you
Are they still using their twenty year old engine?
- Noooo, creation engine 2 is new, it definitely not a ball of bandaids wrapped around the netimmerse engine that was released in 1997.
  
  Twenty eight year old engine?
  Leonardo DiCaprio would be mortified.
- Unreal Engine is 26 years old. id Tech is 30 years old. What's your point?
  
  But it's not made on UE 1, now, is it?
Eh. I just want OGblivion on Android, since that's all I seem to get to play anymore.
That’s exciting. I wanted to play this again recently. I wanted specifically to play with a controller comfortably on a couch. This isn’t as easy as it sounds. My best bet was going to be getting the Xbox 360s digital version.
