That's so fucking weird to drop a remaster or remake like that so suddenly with no advertising or announcement. Something about this still doesn't feel right in my gut, so I guess I'll believe it when (if) it does drop. I don't even know if I am going to buy it if it's real, I have more faith in the modders behind Skyblivion than I do in Bethesda to actually do right with their IPs
i think its a panic project that was fired up quickly because Starfield failed so miserably.
unless this was just a side project that a few devs were working on and it was latched on to as a product that could be focused on.
i suspect that while todd was failing to put out fires, a couple devs were like "should we tell them we've been messing around with Oblivion assets in our new engine?"
No, they contracted this game out to another developer, and it's in Unreal. It's been in the works for a long time. If they're smart, it's a testbed for getting future games off of their usual Creation engine.
ooooooh! I'm very happy to have been corrected. it might actually be decent, then!
thank you much for the info. that's interesting.
