Oblivion "remastered"

And if they changed it too much you'd complain and say "it's too different" you people just loooooove complaining

The piss filter is back baby!
- What is old is new again

  Freakin' VGCATS, my man! What a blast from the past
  
  That comic is still alive!?

We've known since the 2010s that brown equals realism.

Oblivion without its megasaturation and bloom is gonna look weird
- Right? I grew up in oblivion so when Skyrim came out with its dull brownish greys I was super disappointed, still can't really get into the game that much. Then a miracle happened and the Witcher 3: blood and wine came out. Toussaint was such a breath of fresh air, it reminded me that why I loved fantasy games was to feel like I was in a fantasy
  
  That expansion was marvelous, nearly hit every note for me and I say that as someone with otherwise very mixed feelings for Witcher 3.

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!

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.

Oblivion is aggressively verdant. The fuck happened?
- They are pursuing "realism" but the pursuit of realism also means that you must sacrifice strong artistic style, because style is - by very definition - deviation from realism.
  
  It's April. Have you looked outside lately? Reality's pretty fucking green.

Skyrim was already grey rpg. They can't do that again. So now it's brown rpg. Maybe next we'll get fuchsia.
- Brown RPG was the one before that!
- They kind of did fuschia with the shivering isles iirc

Honestly they just need to put on a blueish green bloom filter and it's back to being faithful

Don't worry everyone free labour will fix it

Skyblivion better

If that is the only difference you can see you need some new glasses

Obsepion

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.

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.
- Honestly all this game needs for a 10 out of 10 from me is to be able to take the annoying fan to Dive Rock, cast paralysis on him and give him a little nudge.

This sums up my opinion of the new Assassins Creed. It's a beautiful world but half the time I can't actually see anything because I'm either blinded by sunlight or shaded by darkness.

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

Fallen from grace, because I've been away too long

I'm still excited for it.
What are you guys even complaining about here? The color pallette? Really?
- Never said I wasn't excited friend, I would love to have another romp through my childhood. I complain because I love this game, and would like to see it how I remember. If it comes out with the brown filter over it, it's whatever, it's oblivion it will get modded back.
  But I daresay there's much worse things we could be doing online than griping about an old favorite, harmless fun I'd say.

good, always hated that goofy ass bright ass color palette of oblivion

You guys know these are still officially not confirmed leaked pics?
Even if it really comes out and the screenshots are real are you really so bored that you just decided to hate something based on this?
- The over saturated, bright environments are a key factor to the vibe of Oblivion. Them somehow regressing to Gears of War brown is a terrible sign. Even if its just in those few regions.
  
  I know this, played Oblivion since day 1 and would also like a faithful remaster/remake.
  I just don't undurstand why do this hate-circlejerk based on leaked unofficial info.
