    They need to. Strong rumours that Bethesda has tasked a studio to remake Oblivion in a different engine.

      I really hope so! It seems like such a no brainer, get a studio to remake the bulk of it and keep creative control. I came into TES world in Skyrim and would love to go back through them but I’m a snob for a modern looking game now.

      A different engine? Are you sure? They just buffed up their creation engine 2 for Starfield.

        Yeah an ex Virtuos developer said they had been working on a remake in UE5 for Bethesda. Can’t find the reference but it was a big rumour a while ago.

          not a huge fan of UE5* but it has to be better than the spaghetti that is CE2 at this point.

          *-The engine itself isn’t the problem developers just don’t optimize shit because they aren’t given the time/derective to.

            Have you seen what the recent UE5 games play like? Not even frame generation can make them run smoothly.

            I honestly prefer creation.

      Frankly Bethesda would do very well with remastering all their previous tes games, including the first two.

      I would really like to play Morrowind with the option of a modern UI instead of dragging windows around and clicking stuff

        A remaster for the first too wouldn’t be enough, I figure. I played daggerfall unity and it just does not hold up. A full on remake would be interesting, but they’d have to go hard, and reconceptualize a lot.

          I feel like at this point, remaking Daggerfall would need to involve replacing the procedural generation with generative AI.
