Oblivion remake is an artistic disaster

Stop shilling the oblivion demaster

post processing garbage

post processing garbage, 2006

So the original was an artistic achievement? Lol

anti-sovl gas

developers need to stop adding in excessive volumetric fog

That's just plain embarrassing.

Uhhh mods will fix it, deal with it!

Oh man, we should make everything gray!

BLACKwood Company? We don't do such DEI woke nonsense anymore.

we lived long enough to see people praise Oblivion for art style

Oblivion is legit one of the most hideous looking game I played

doesn't mean that you have to strip the sovl and replace it with stock ue5 slop baka

Unironically based

What's with the disgusting WoW-ish plastic material look that so many modern games use? I fucking hate it.

Oblivion is a shit game. Oblivion fanboys deserve a shitty remaater.
Wake me up when Morrowind gets butchered, then I will participate in the outrage.

Let me add something else to that toybox, anon.

it's because of the death of 2d art. texture artists are replaced with PBR materials made in substance painter. if you look at these textures you will see they're mostly solid colors with almost no actual drawing/shading to them. algorithms replaced art. look up "PBR smart materials"

I've started playing oblivion for the first time but I've been frequently crashing when new areas load. I tried applying the unofficial patch and the 4gb patch but the issue still persists.

Probably a minor point, but I really hate how they did away with rough surfaces for all the daedric weapons. Original look really did well to convey that it is something conjured from a hostile plane of existence, while the remastered versions look like your generic spooky-scary-edgy demon weapon from your generic Chinese MMO.

most UE5 games lack proper material properties for textures since 'PBR will fix it' anyway

I really hate how they did away with rough surfaces for all the daedric weapons

rough surfaces are the low polygon sir, please understand.

Jesus christ, its really is like they just raided the assets from some Chinese mobile slop.
Will check it out, I remember seeing substance painter on Steam years ago and it didn't look THIS bad.

You can tell it was made by chinks because everything is covered in pollution clouds, they think that's just how the world looks.

Are we pretending the bottom doesn't look substantially worse?

Shame, I really liked those fineries.

it doesn't matter, secondaries will defend remakes even if they take out the color, ruin the visuals, etc
just look at so many retards defending the shitty nier remake

You can always play the og

Cope harder, shill. Todd won.

I honestly don't get it. It seems like around 2010 graphics started getting worse. We have higher polygons and fancy lighting tech but it just looks like shit.
I feel like I'm going crazy, how did this happen?

Black finery

Make it purple, gold & white

What were they thinking?

soul

soulless

Oblivion uses 2 different textures for its assets (diffuse and normal map), both typically at 512x512 or 1024x512 (or vice versa.)

The normal maps have alpha with varying levels of opacity in order to specify specular/highlights. The Remaster is probably 5 different PBRs all at a resolution of 4k or 8k and still ends up looking worse.

Right looks like something made in Hero Forge.

The original looks like poop.
The remake is shiny poop.
Neither are good.

Oblivion remake is an artistic disaster

implying the original game wasn't

its bad cause.....ITS LEL DIFFERENT FROM MY CHILDHOOD

get new material

hide thread

Is that what it is? This whole last hen I've noticed a ton of games with really awful looking metals that lack and sort of grit. It all looks too flawless and clean

Kill someone

A guard materializes from the void

Starts dialog to arrest me before his feet even hit the ground from teleporting so he just floats in the air in a falling animation while threatening me

Save a guy who is stuck in a nightmare by going into his dreamscape

Succeed in doing so

Tells me "it is time to return to the real world"

Game immediately crashes

Meta as fuck

Going to hunt down a mountain lion

NPC is leading the hunt

Mountain lion shows up and starts mauling the NPC

The NPC doesn't register the attacks and just keeps saying "keep your eyes peeled. They could be anywhere."

God damn I missed this level janky bullshit so much.

yeah, true

but i will continue to play the original regardless

True but at least it isn't OGblivion

the whole point of a remaster is improve the quality of the game. Oblivion remastered just makes the game look like unreal slop and calls it a day

6 months ago Anon Babble would have called oblivion ugly dogshit but now that there's a new popular thing it's sovl

they both look bad!

Remasters are supposed to look better.

Oblivion is ugly, but this is worse, and can't run at 60fps on a 5090. Jeet coding is fucked.

they're supposed to make money, the looking better part isn't a requirement

why do devs keep favoring ue5 again?

Y'all should see a therapist or better yet get institutionalized.

how does it look more cartoony somehow

they actually do not look like that in game
OP grabbed some low res screenshots off some furry youtuber and then photoshopped them

I'm not talking bout the graphics, but thanks for being diligent because people do misrepresent
for me it's the design itself
everything seems weirdly out of proportion and misplaced
I can't put my finger on it, vaguely reminds me of BG3? idk man

cheers anyway, I get that

They can't help themselves, they need to add fog and filter in every game.
