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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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
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 piss filter is back baby!

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

Not really. It’s porn now.
We’ve known since the 2010s that brown equals realism.
This trend is quite an explosion.
Yes, in polluted cities.
Add a tiny splash of yellow tint then we get Mexico

Oh you sweet summer child…
I was so excited. Until I saw it’s going to be UE5. Ah well, Skyblivion it is for me then.

That’s disappointing. So it’s going to have all the logic bugs of gamebryo plus that same annoying graphical feel of UE5

It’s Bethesda. They probably did it in a couple months trying to recoup money after the Starfield desaster.

Fallen from grace, because I’ve been away too long
And if they changed it too much you’d complain and say “it’s too different” you people just loooooove complaining
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.

fake and gay
Oblivion is aggressively verdant. The fuck happened?

It’s April. Have you looked outside lately? Reality’s pretty fucking green.
good, always hated that goofy ass bright ass color palette of oblivion
If that is the only difference you can see you need some new glasses
I’m still excited for it.
What are you guys even complaining about here? The color pallette? Really?
