fake and gay
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.
If that is the only difference you can see you need some new glasses
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
Skyblivion better
Don’t worry everyone free labour will fix 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.
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.
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.
I will say, all that aside, there’s one thing I hated about oblivion. The FUCKING OBLIVION GATES, ugh so tedious, when I first learned there was mods I think the first one I downloaded was one that let you skip them for my next playthrough, but I would love to see if they somehow make them less grindy in this one
The people commenting the generic “now it’s brown and dull” are just lame. Its just hating to hate really.
Or they simply have fond memories of the graphical style of Oblivion, and are disappointed that it’s now more “realistic”? I don’t want realistic, I want Oblivion. It’s a fucking fantasy game.
People were all over this style when Skyrim released.
Sure, but we’re not in 2011, so why change the graphical style to fit opinions of that time?
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.
I would love to play a remastered version that keeps the distinct graphical style I fondly remember. I know, a complete shocker.
Just say you don’t like something and move the fuck on.
I did, and you really didn’t like me saying that! I like Oblivion, I really like the graphical style. I don’t like that they are removing the graphical style and making it look like any generic action RPG. If you don’t like my comment, maybe move the fuck on?
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.
Obsepion
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!?
Kinda. The website was inactive for a few years there, and only recently started updating again. The author was focusing on Patreon, which was reportedly porn of the VGCats characters.
Not really. It’s porn now.
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.
We’ve known since the 2010s that brown equals realism.
Add a tiny splash of yellow tint then we get Mexico
Yes, in polluted cities.
Piss*
Pea milk*
brown
This trend is quite an explosion.
Oblivion Remexicoed.
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.
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!
