Oblivion remake

Post » Mon Jul 18, 2011 10:36 am

We got screwed in Oblivion. The story line was nice but it screwed the lore over.
It said population was in the thousands and instead its in the hundreds.
Land type was supposed to vary instead we had a swamp,snow,and forest
the imperial city was supposed to be grand, it was not look at the harbor and look at the population.
Cyrodill was also missing many small towns and a city "Sutch".
They should have placed in valenwood,Black march, or Elswyer if they could not make a large population.
Therefore to prepare for their mistake I demand (when the technology is advanced) A REMAKE

It would be a waste of time. I would much rather they spend their time developing TES VI for next gen. hardware rather than remaking a game that many people didn't enjoy that much anyways (relative to Morrowind or Skyrim).

There's more important places to make new TES games.
Ask it again in about 20 years.

1) This has nothing to do with Skyrim.
2) You want them to spend the next few years remaking a 6 year old game, really?
3) Oblivion wasn't some grotesque monstrosity of a video game. You didn't get 'screwed' over. Remaking a game because some people didn't like it is stupid.
4) This thread will be locked.

This entire idea would be a colossal waste of time and resources. Download a total overhaul mod and leave Bethesda alone. :P

why would you remake a game that's only 6 years old???
would you remake a movie 6 years after it came out? NO.
if they were to do it, they'd do it not to just upgrade a SUB PAR game from the series (people say it is, i don't think it is) they would remake the BEST one and it'd have to be AT LEAST 10 years after it came out!!! why waste so much time to make a 6 year old game that wasn't very awesome slightly better? i think it'd be more effective to create an even AWESOMEr game!!!

Doesn't matter. It'd still be a waste of time and resources.

No. An explanation is not even needed to say No. Rather, an explanation is needed if you answered Yes. :facepalm:

I'm fine with the various and plentiful mods that come out for Oblivion. The game doesn't need to be remade as it is constantly being remade by the players. That being said, this thread is pointless as there will not be an Oblivion remake for an incredibly long time.

I would rather see a re-mastery of Morrowind on the creation engine, I would pay $300 for that.

It said population was in the thousands and instead its in the hundreds.

It said population was in the thousands and we had to suspend our disbelief, obviously, like any game, because having thousands of inhabitants in a single city would be ridiculous to expect and would be far too difficult to implement into a game like this.

Land type was supposed to vary instead we had a swamp,snow,and forest

Land type was supposed to vary and it did.

the imperial city was supposed to be grand, it was not look at the harbor and look at the population.

The Imperial City was supposed to be grand, and it was.

Cyrodill was also missing many small towns and a city "Sutch".

Cyrodiil was also missing a city "Sutch," oh freaking well.

They should have placed in valenwood,Black march, or Elswyer if they could not make a large population.

I can't even turn this into something true. This is just silly. No.

My thoughts are that this is a terrible, terrible idea.

Dude, thats a little something I like to call being negative. Oblivion was a great game despite the Main Quest being a little off. The landscape was AMAZING!!! You couldn't beat the Jerral Mountains, the Colovian Highlands and all the other great areas.
About the population, if you counted guards and bandits etc. I'm pretty sure you would get 1000 NPC's.
The Imperial City was very grand I love it.

Bethesda done an AMAZING job with Oblivion it is one of the greatest games of all time and they needen't have added anything else like "Sutch" becauseas it is some people STILL can't run it on their PC and adding anything else would have probably down more. I know I only got a computer a little while ago that can run Oblivion although I did have it on Xbox.

Bethesda do not need to add anything else because it's an awesome game.

I would love to see another game based in Cyrodiil but not a remake it isn't needed.

P.S. Fort Sutch is there and if they didn't want to add Sutch who cares it's their game and they made it amazing.

Exactly this. If you aren't happy either find a mod that changes what you're not happy with or make one yourself. Although that's easier said than done, but still...they did give us the tools necessary to do so if we want to change something. :)

Now that would be cool, not that they're bad games, just that they are hard to play and understand. :D

I don't think I could disagree with you more on this.

1.) Land Type was very specifically described in the 1st PGE, and Cyrodiil we were given resembles NOTHING of what we were lead to expect.

2.) The Imperial City was 100% diffrent than described, and it was most certainly not grand. I find Skingrad grander than the Imperial City.

3.) He mentioned Sutch, so I don't see why that was necessary.

Honestly, they disregarded the lore in nearly every aspect and it does beg for a proper remake. However, I don't want Oblivion remade, better the resources spent elsewhere.

Nope, Oblivion was awesome warts and all. As a lot of other people have said I'd much rather the attention was focused on Skyrim :)
I think that using Oblivion as a springboard for Skyrim so taking all the good from Oblivion putting it into Skyrim (or making it even better), then taking the not so good and improving it.

1.) Land Type was very specifically described in the 1st PGE, and Cyrodiil we were given resembles NOTHING of what we were lead to expect.

It was described a jungle and it was a forest. What a travesty. I have to say, I never imagined Cyrodiil as a jungle, despite the description. I think a forest is FAR more appropriate for the Imperials and the setting. Also, the OP said the land types was supposed to vary, then went on to list 3 varieties of land types.


2.) The Imperial City was 100% diffrent than described, and it was most certainly not grand. I find Skingrad grander than the Imperial City.

Described where? I disagree. Skingrad is no where near as grand as the Imperial City. The Imperial City is the biggest, it has the biggest variety of shops and services, and it has tons of things that no other city has.


3.) He mentioned Sutch, so I don't see why that was necessary.

Before Oblivion, Sutch was a dot on a map. If anyone sat there daydreaming about Sutch, that is their own fault. It was just a Fort in Cyrodiil.

They did not disregard the lore in nearly every aspect. They disregarded the lore in maybe two different ways, which can be expected in video games such as these.

They did not disregard the lore in nearly every aspect. They disregarded the lore in maybe two different ways, which can be expected in video games such as these.


1.) 1st PGE

Cyrodiil, Dragon Empire, Starry Heart of Nirn, and Seat of Sundered Kings...

Indeed, if the history of the Nords is the history of humans on Tamriel, then Cyrodiil is the throne from which they will decide their destiny. It is the largest region of the continent, and most is endless jungle. Its center, the grassland of the Nibenay Valley, is enclosed by an equatorial rain forest and broken up by rivers. As one travels south along these rivers, the more subtropical it becomes, until finally the land gives way to the swamps of Argonia and the placid waters of the Topal Bay. The elevation rises gradually to the west and sharply to the north. Between its western coast and its central valley there are all manner of deciduous forest and mangroves, becoming sparser towards the ocean. The western coast is a wet-dry area, and from Rihad border to Anvil to the northernmost Valenwood villages forest fires are common in summer. There are a few major roads to the west, river paths to the north, and even a canopy tunnel to the Velothi Mountains, but most of Cyrodiil is a river-based society surrounded by jungle.


2.) The 1st PGE

The Imperial City

Refayj's famous declaration, "There is but one city in the Imperial Province,--" may strike the citizens of the Colovian west as mildly insulting, until perhaps they hear the rest of the remark, which continues, "--but one city in Tamriel, but one city in the World; that, my brothers, is the city of the Cyrodiils." From the shore it is hard to tell what is city and what is Palace, for it all rises from the islands of the lake towards the sky in a stretch of gold. Whole neighborhoods rest on the jeweled bridges that connect the islands together. Gondolas and river-ships sail along the watery avenues of its flooded lower dwellings. Moth-priests walk by in a cloud of ancestors; House Guards hold exceptionally long daikatanas crossed at intersections, adorned with ribbons and dragon-flags; and the newly arrived Western legionnaires sweat in the humid air. The river mouth is tainted red from the tinmi soil of the shore, and river dragons rust their hides in its waters. Across the lake the Imperial City continues, merging into the villages of the southern red river and ruins left from the Interregnum.


3.) A dot associated with the major cities of Cyrodiil, its pretty big mistep to take what should have been a major settlement and turn it into another generic ruined fort.

4.) Again, not really no. They make no distinctions between the culture of neither Nibiney or Colovian, it was all a run of one generic "imperial". In fact, we see little of what is described as Cyrodiil in the game.


Edit: Personally, I prefer the Imperial to be a diverse and unique culture and race rather than a cookie cutter Western Roman Empire copy.

Uhh, I voted yes. But I don't want Bethesda to remake it.

I demand a remake by the modders of Skyrim! :)
Or the modders of Morrowind, that might be even better. But yeah, Oblivion should be remade.

This is way off topic for this section and would only serve as flamebait in the Oblivion section and thus is locked.
