NuPNuA, do games w Every Game Pass Title From Today's Xbox Tokyo Game Show 2023 Broadcast - IGN

That’s a pretty good line up. Couple of games I was going to get anyway, and some I was less sure off so will happily try as part of the sub.

Why do a remake of the worst ES? Lazyness?

Bethesda, do a (good!) rework of morrowind, you cowards!

I mean… why do a remake of something good, when you can remake something not good, but make it good this time?

Shurimal,

At least Oblivion, unlike Skyrim, had actual classes (let's not talk about the leveling system, shall we?) and spell making. Plus some really, really good questlines (including the main quest, and the whole Shivering Isles expansion was rad AF). The cities also felt larger than in Skyrim and the Arcane University was an actual university, not a random village school with 3 students. Role-play wise Skyrim was the weakest of the three modern ES games.

OctopusKurwa,

Oblivion is pure comfort food to me. Sure it’s a broken mess to the point where it’s best not level up, but it just has this serene vibe to it.

chunkystyles,

A few years ago I replayed Oblivion for the first time since it came out. I played a pure spellcaster with no weapons or armor and it was a goddamn blast.

I would just sprint and jump around like a moron while invisible and ignore most threats. Threats I had to deal with got vaporized.

So much fun.

LoafyLemon,

That's a little extreme, here at the fediverse we should strive to do better than reddit, so instead of asking them to delete their account, ask them to defederate. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

It can’t be remaked for many reasons. The best they can do is fund OpenMW or give up their assets. Actually making anything from it is not only rebuilding it, but solving many ways Morrowind is fucking broken.

And I love it for how disfunctional it is.

Bethesdas remaster would probably be nothing more than a version with updated graphics and lighting and support for modern software. This guy is rebuilding the game from scratch in a modern engine.

@LittlePrimate@feddit.de avatar

in a modern engine.

Well, at least more modern than oblivion, Skyrim’s is 12 years old…

vaultdweller013,

Fun fact there were olny six years between Oblivion and Skyrims release. Thats right skyrim has been out longer than the release time between oblivion and skyrim.

AmbientChaos, (edited )

You can add Morrowind to that timeline too, which came out in 2002, so 9 years between Morrowind and Skyrim. Crazy…

Summzashi,

Which is in itself a slightly updated version of Oblivions gamebryo, which was conceived in the 90s. Calling it a modern engine is extremely generous if not completely wrong.

cuacamole,

Which happens with most engines. UE5 is an update version of UE4 and so on.

Virkkunen,
@Virkkunen@kbin.social avatar

These people are rebuilding the game from "scratch" in Skyrim's Creation Engine version, but it's still nothing more than a version with updated graphics and lightning. Bethesda's probably going to be using FO4 or Starfield's CE version, which will have the same result albeit shinier.

Raab,

skyblivion.com/about/

It’s much more than a lighting and graphics overhaul.

Fades,

updated graphics and lighting and support for modern software

even that would be expecting too much, I’ll be shocked if that “graphics update” is anything more than only slightly better texture replacements

GreenMario,

Oblivion already is 4K/60fps on XSX thanks to FPSBoost and resolution enhanced. They’re gonna have to justify if just a bit more than that.

Fix potato faces and leveling system would be a good start. Add real beards for Nords.

bob_lemon,

They’re also just a total of 77 people doing this in their spare time instead of a team of at least 300 full time devs.

synceDD,
@synceDD@lemmy.world avatar

Skyrim team was roughly 100, were you too lazy to google it and replied to me with a random number or what 💀💀💀💀

failor, (edited )

And Skyrim took 6 years to make for a 100 people working a full time job?

How long did you expect 77 people working in their spare time to take? 2 months?

synceDD,
@synceDD@lemmy.world avatar

Skyrim = skyrim mod 💀💀💀💀

520,

And Oblivion was a big fucking game, and it takes a lot of work to get it into Skyrim's engine and modifying it so that it looks like it fits.

synceDD,
@synceDD@lemmy.world avatar

Do you understand how long that is 💀💀💀💀 Imagine starting a mario kart mod for the gba when it came out and mario kart 8 for the switch is ready before it, this is how long it took 💀💀💀💀

520, (edited )

I get that, but the Oblivion and Skyrim engines are not compatible with one another. Meaning that every single little event in Oblivion has to be manually reimplemented in Skyrim's engine.

When you're talking about a game the size of Oblivion, that's a big fucking task. And they're relying on volunteers to get this done.

You should read this post by Arnold Schwarzenegger. I think it applies to you very well.

Globulart,

I certainly did, he made a very eloquent point.

A great husband he isn’t, but why should that mean you assume everything he says is bs?

Very closed minded way to live… It’s very possible to agree with someone on one point and still think they’re a pos when it comes to other points.

synceDD,
@synceDD@lemmy.world avatar

I’ll keep it in mind if I stumble upon his skyrim mod opinions

Globulart, (edited )

Yes I thought you might say something along those lines, have you ever heard of an analogy…?

I know you think you’re making a relevant point, but really you just look like a 10 year old who struggles putting 2 and 2 together.

This has nothing to do with skyrim modding, and everything to do with your perception of a group of people who don’t deserve your hate.

Let me know when you turn 11 and we can try again :) x

synceDD,
@synceDD@lemmy.world avatar

Guy who replies to me just to insult me calls me 11 year old, the irony💀💀💀💀 and there was no analogy here, I was asked to read something " relevant " from Arnold, you have the english skills of an 11 year old as well, bro was projecting all along 💀💀💀💀

Globulart,

No insults, just a guess :) x

The insult was your OP, and Arnold does a good job of illustrating why it makes you a cunt (there’s the insult!)

Do you understand irony? Irony is including 8 emojis in a post defending yourself from being called a 10 year old.

Someone insulting you in a response which (by your definition) was only posted to insult you is just logical. Where’s the irony?

The analogy is the post mate, but how would you know if it stayed blue…?

synceDD,
@synceDD@lemmy.world avatar

“Adult” triggered by literal emojis 💀💀💀💀 “youre 11 if youre using emojis” 💀💀💀💀 5th period starting soon buddy, time for your literature class, today youre learning about analogies, next week, irony💀💀💀💀

Globulart,

Ahhhh it’s weirdly beautiful mate. This whole exchange is like one big illustration on irony and (ironically) you end your point by illustrating just how little you understood my posts.

It really is satisfying. But if you want to teach me something and show me why it would be ironic to insult you in a post which was designed specifically to insult you then I’m all ears :) x

synceDD,
@synceDD@lemmy.world avatar

Paralympians asked to not compete vs modders asked to be faster there is no analogy here 💀💀💀💀 Or did you reduce both examples to getting criticized so you think it counts as analogy? truly 11 year old mind 💀💀💀💀

Globulart,

The analogy is that someone insulting people trying their hardest while doing nothing of importance themselves are worse than the supposed injustice they point out in the first place.

In this scenario, the volunteer modders are the paralympians, and you’re the douchebag criticising them for contributing something to the world despite having nothing productive to show themself.

Hope I helped :) x

synceDD,
@synceDD@lemmy.world avatar

“Their hardest” literally a hobby most likely not their hardest and it is a job for the paralympians, so not an analogy on both fronts, “nothing of importance” having a job to buy food and stay alive is more important than a videogame mod. Fake everything and you get an analogy, congrats.

Globulart,

Exactly, literally a hobby and not a job, people contributing time they absolutely don’t need to in order to create something for others to enjoy.

And you’re criticising them because they’re taking too long. Taking too long with their unpaid voluntary work for a product lots of people will enjoy.

Seeing it yet? :) x

synceDD,
@synceDD@lemmy.world avatar

Nooo its a hobby u cant type LMAO or I’ll compare you to disrespecting paralympians 💀💀💀💀 I literally predicted u would reduce both events to criticism, now I bothered to explain it too

Seeing it yet? :) x

Globulart,

It’s not simple criticism though is it mate? It’s criticising people who are contributing to the world while offering nothing yourself. That’s the whole point which has already been pretty clearly explained.

If we take it back to your original comment you’re literally criticising the amount of free work someone chooses to do. I’d hoped you might see the analogy but it seems like we’re past that point so let’s call it a day.

Good luck though mate, maybe think about it a bit more when you don’t feel like it’s a battle with an anonymous Internet person and can look more objectively at the points made :) x

FireTower,
@FireTower@lemmy.world avatar

Irony is telling someone to attend literature class while lacking reading comprehension.

synceDD,
@synceDD@lemmy.world avatar

Any examples of that or are you also 11 year old who replies just to insult? Another irony for you since you didnt give any examples and behave like the other guy

Zellith,

"Any examples of that or are you also 11 year old who replies just to insult?"

"5th period starting soon buddy, time for your literature class, today youre learning about analogies, next week, irony💀💀💀💀"

Hmmmm

synceDD,
@synceDD@lemmy.world avatar

Ah dont call someone out when they fail to use their own terms properly while they have the audacity to call you 11 first, or youre like them. Good logic.

FireTower,
@FireTower@lemmy.world avatar

He said you were like a 10 year old (his analogy towards your maturity) and requested that you inform him once you turn 11.

synceDD,
@synceDD@lemmy.world avatar

Yes replying someone just to call them immature is an insult, youre almost there buddy I see youre trying to learn manners as well

The Black Mesa HL remake took 16 years to release (2004-2020).

And even then, did not release in a completed state until later (some of the alien world levels were missing)

Oh yeah, don't get me wrong, it was everything a faithful remake should be!

redcalcium,

You know, it’s unhealthy to be so negative all the time. Not saying you should only post positive comments all the time, just keep it in check so Lemmy aren’t full of negative vibe.

Good job cdpr, I was planning on finally actually buying this game. Now you’ve told me it’s still the same mess it’s always been, and to continue holding off. Maybe in a few more years, when I can get the full game with dlcs for less than $30.

A 9/10???

IGN is such a meme.

A 5 is average.

They are saying this game is so good, it’s essentially flawless and beyond comparison in all areas compared to all other games.

How much does a 9 cost?

Game reviews are a 5 point system.

5 is unplayable shit, 7 is average, 10 is le hidden gem.

Murvel, (edited ) do gaming w IGN posts written review of Cyberpunk: Phantom Liberty, but withholds video review. CDPR is, once again, not letting reviewers use their own gameplay footage before release.

This is my experience with Cyberpunk 2077 in 2023:

this summer, i built a new PC specifically so that I could play the game with good, stable performance. With ray-tracing on, the game would curb-stomp my RTX 3080 (not a cheap card mind) with 30 fps in the inner city. Not great, kind of disappointing.

What followed was nothing but a never-ending stream of bugs. Feel free to sample from the smorgosbord;

  • night would shift to day in an instant
  • characters would t-pose on reload
  • characters would walk through cars like a tank and blow them up
  • npc driven cars would run through walls and cars and blow them up
  • ragdolls would flip out and fly out of bounds
  • citizens walk in circles through the streets
  • animated objects like cell phones would not disappear when put away and instead float around their bodies
  • npc driven cars would teleport forward when driven
  • lost count of how much clipping issues were present

All this after about 5 hours of game play. It was brutal until I could take no more. And the game play is just not that fun, even though most of the characters are interesting and the story is good.

The absolute most damning thing is that the game demands immersion, the world is built around the concept, but with a bug every 15 min throwing you out of the experience, it’s just too much.

I’m not hopeful for this DLC.

NuPNuA,

I’ve played though the game twice on the Series X and didn’t have any if that. Once that got the frame rate up to a solid 60 in the first big patch, it’s a really solid feeling title.

Murvel,

Everyone’s experience will be unique, especially considering bugs, but the fact that an experience can be as bad as mine is bad enough.

pit, (edited )

I’ve had pretty much the same experience, but with an RX7900 XTX, which is an even moer expensive card. In the end I even got soft-locked, because I was playing on the highest difficulty, and in some random side misssion I just kept respawning in a spot, where I could not reach any kind of cover before being killed. Of course I tried to lower the difficulty, but that just instantly crashed the game. That was the point where I uninstalled

grimaferve,

It feels like every corporate entity is out to sabotage themselves these days...

TBF I don't trust IGN anyway, they have too much finanicial incentive to do as they're told. Maybe we need like a megathread of trustworthy reviewers.

Has any 3rd party talked about the performance?

ACG says performance kept being improved up to 2.0 but couldn’t show any footage.

mojo,

I really doubt it’s much of an improvement from how the game already runs

@Ghostalmedia So strange. Everyone is already suspicious when it comes to the game, why add fuel to the fire?

Aria,

Probably because it’s less fuel than video would be.

Ghostalmedia,
@Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world avatar

Since that 1.6x is pretty stable and performant, I’d be shocked if this rollout was bad.

That said, given that 1.0’s monumentally terrible launch, and the press restrictions that hid performance problems, you’d think CDPR would be trying to be transparent AF this time around.

I just thought it was a fascinatingly bad marketing decision that made this an interesting review worth posting. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
