With Oblivion remaster’s announcement tomorrow what are the chances they drop a TESVI trailer?
It’s just too perfect of a chance considering they can mirror the IV into VI. Also it sounds like something Todd would do.

Oblivion “Remastered” is just going to be Oblivion with AI-upscaled textures. Maybe new voice work since the original game’s is so bad. They will fix half of the bugs that are fixed in the most recent version of the community patch, and introduce a dozen more.
TES 6 will never release. It isn’t even in development. That JPEG everyone knows about wasn’t actually revealed by Bethesda, it’s a deepfake that we have all developed a collective hallucination around.

That’s half of what makes oblivion fun though. https://youtube.com/shorts/eoztSnj_CcU
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
Nintendo Switch 2 announcement for Skyrim.
Joke’s on you it’s going to be a Skyrim demake in the Oblivion engine.
that’s the only thing they could do that would be better than the skyblivion fan project
… Honestly, I’ll take it. I preferred Oblivion’s skill system anyway.
You know that good video games exist right? You can just play those instead of playing Bethesda slop
Considering Starfield took like 8 years to come out as a completely half-assed shallow barely-even-there game and TES VI only starting full production after that launched in 2023, I’d be surprised to see anything regarding that game before like 2027. I’m gonna be there for it though, somehow these games just keep getting worse and worse. Like Starfield is such a giant step down from even like Fallout 4 I still kinda can’t believe it. It can’t get even worse, can it? At some point people are going to have to notice, and they’ll definitely notice the more they have to compare these games to.
didn’t starfield have massive structural problems? another TES game is something they should have a better handle on managing and it ought to go more smoothly than the “oh shit we don’t know how to make a space game”
It can’t get even worse, can it?
There’s always more room at the bottom
there’s still some vestigial rpg elements they can cut.
and Fallout 4 was a drop off a cliff from Fallout New Vegas
but they didn’t make New Vegas. Gotta compare it to fallout 3.
hmm… lateral move imo
much better gun handling and other gameplay mechanics but the voiced protag was a mistake and like half of the new asset systems they implemented were extremely hostile to modders (we don’t talk about precombines)
I think most players really don’t want TES 6, I think they want to be 16-24 again. I don’t really think most players even know what about Skyrim or Oblivion made them happy or what they would want from that game, I think they just want the feeling of freedom that is gone from their lives. I don’t even mean this in a mean way, I just think the game is carried more by nostalgia rather than any particular mechanical, narrative, or creative traits.
You might be underestimating the number of people who unironically enjoy modern Bethesda games, unfortunately.
I’m more excited about the release of a game that has a large and established modding community and what they’ll do with that new platform than the game itself.
I genuinely did not enjoy Skyrim at release- modded Skyrim is one of my favorite games ever.
The talent in the broader Bethesda modding community is beyond impressive and they’ve had years to refine tooling/interop that I think will result in another modded game that will, hopefully, reach the same heights to me as previous works.
I was really hoping that would happen with Cyberpunk 2077 and Starfield, but I think Skyrim was more an exception than a rule. I genuinely don’t think we’re likely to see that level of involvement from a modding community again.
Cyberpunk being a RedEngine (I actually like this engine) game limited the pool of potential modders somewhat because it’s a single-studio engine without a history of modding (there are a few large/complex Witcher 3 mods but as far as I’m aware it’s a few custom user-created quest chains that are supposedly really good- I’ll try to find the name later). CyberMP seems to be cracking this fairly wide open (it’s a GTAV RP-like modding framework that adds multiplayer) that’s pushing the current limits of RedEngine modding.
I haven’t extensively looked into changes of GameBryo from Fallout 4 to Starfield but from what little I’ve read adapting tooling hasn’t been especially painful, it’s just that the base player interest from potential Starfield modders seemed really low due to disinterest with the game/its setting at launch.
I think a fantasy setting with tooling and lessons learned that will hopefully continue to be built up from the Morrowind -> Oblivion -> Fallout 3 -> New Vegas -> Fallout 4 -> Starfield will have a better chance at catching that Skyrim modding spark again, but I will admit a lot of this is equal parts “here are some rational reasons why I think it will happen” and “shit it’d just be dope if it did and I really want it to.”
my not paying attention vibes based read on it was that starfield isn’t an open-world and it kinda sucks so nobody can be bothered to make stuff for it.
considering they nearly had voiced protagonists in starfield i’m not very confident in them being inclined to learn shit about shit.
I would really love a version of TES 6 that isn’t what TES 6 will be.
Sign me the fuck up for TES 6: DAGGERFALL TWO
if wayward realms isn’t just a starcitizen-esque grift, it promises to be that
I think theres some truth to the idea that, even if Elder Scrolls VI were a really good game, a larger than youd think portion of the fanbase still wouldnt be happy with it.
After Fallout 4 and Starfield, I am not looking forward to any of this shit
After all, now you can run Oblivion on any potato computer and install some mods to make it less bad
The remake exists solely to try and steal steam (and money) away from Skyblivion
I think Skyblivion is free and it will be better than this because it’s fanmade.
Passion project > cash grab every day of the week
Yeah, but Bethesda is doing this because they know some people probably don’t know about Skyblivion and will just buy the remake
And it can backfire if the new remaster is shit. It’ll be like NV where a non Bethesda team ends up making something better than what Bethesda offers.
but is it released? first i’ve heard of it and i don’t see a way to get it from their site… just an update last year about them working to release it?
Fallout 4 was a pretty good game. The shooting was a big step up from previous games, even though it lacked a lot of heart by being fully voiced.
I refused to to touch 76 or Starfield. They look horrible and boring.
Fallout 4 was a pretty good game.
wut
The whole situation with Oblivion Remastered feels so strange to me. If I had to guess, Bethsoft has very little marketing budget for this game, being a remaster, so they’re doing a marketing by leaks strategy. But even then the leaks are like “It could launch any day now!” And that seems like such a quick turnaround for an unannounced game, though it may have to go through platform related stuff before actually selling. Fire Emblem Engage had something similar happen, but it didn’t really sell well at all.
Not really relevant to your post, but the Remaster has been on my mind.
People are so thirsty for a TES game that this probably works
Tbh every bethesda game i’ve played has felt exactly the same as the others just with different visuals and lore. I wouldn’t even mind them rehashing the same game over and over if they actually improved upon the formula
how about instead we follow the trajectory of the American Empire?
Fraud Coward
After Starfield I look forward to not looking forward to anything by Bethesda ever
it’s gonna be the same dog shit as starfield with the same bugs and the same mechanics as the games bethesda has done for the last decade or so. i mean i get the hype bigger number is better but like aside from that what’s there to wait for? everyone can basically play TES VI by getting Skyrim or fallout or starfield and mod them so the title changes to elder scrolls 6 or whatever. i don’t get it.
They really should drop another one, considering the last one was almost 7 years ago. Treatlerites are starving out there.
