Oblivion Remake mod Skyblivion’s Ayleid ruins have been completed and QA tested, its developers have announced.
Exciting! I didn’t even remotely give a shit about the oblivion remake cos I’ve just been waiting and waiting on this
One of the kids (steam family library) bought it and I tried it on my steam deck. It ran pretty poorly compared to the Skyrim SE release. I was very disappointed.
I think it’s literally Unreal running the ES engine inside it. So if anything the stability should be pretty bad naturally.
Yeah I heard about the issues it was having as well, they just can’t ever release anything that works it seems like and they’re so slow to fix anything with their crappy engine
Honestly Skyrim starts out in a very unpopulated setting vs Oblivion starting out in a major city iirc so performance issues might be apples to oranges but I never made it more than 30 minutes in oblivion where as I played probably another 50 hours of Skyrim.
I can see that, it’s a pretty demanding game.
Skyrim SE is just Skyrim with the higher res texture DLC, slightly better lighting, and some other DLC bundled in. It’s a late 7th-gen game that received some small updates for 8th-gen consoles.
Oblivion Remastered is two games running in tandem, the original early 7th-gen game (warts and all) processed through a separate Unreal Engine 5 rendering layer to bring it up to the visual fidelity of a 9th-gen game. It’s got way more going on visually, but also needs a lot of duct tape under the surface to hold it together because Oblivion is just that much bigger than Skyrim.
Got ya. All I know is I played OG Skyrim at launch for a lot of hours then a decade later the helicopter intro boss was just to much for me and i never went back. Fast forward and I bought a steam deck and my kids buy too many games (I rarely buy anything now lol) and SE worked out of the box.
Put the dust back! That’s how we know they are unexplored ruins!
Some of my favorite places in Tamriel. 🤩
Same. Ever since I saw the press footage of the Ayleid ruins from before Oblivion released, I wanted to explore every one of them I could find when the game came out.
I…kinda ate my words a bit later on, after realizing how samey most of them are. But I still think they’re the coolest dungeons in the game (the others are just that much less exciting), and I am eager to dive into the more creatively planned Skyblivion versions soon.
Same! And, of course, was blown away when I stumbled across Blackreach… 😵💫😍🤘🏼
dusted
Oops. Someone fucked up. Those ruins are supposed to be dusty, not clean. They’re ancient ruins for crying out loud!
