mrfriki, do games w The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall Unity Review

Silly history, I have this game because I got confused and for some reason I thought it was Devil Daggers and bought it. Since I own it I might get to play it someday.

NuXCOM_90Percent,

Devil Daggers came out in 2016. Daggerfall has been free on basically everything since 2009. So… you probably should name and shame whatever outlet let you spend money for TES2.

So glad they redid the smg because holy shit the one showed here looked and sounded terrible.

That’s a long watch. Caught some of it though and that’s super shitty.

So… we’re never getting Hi Fi Rush, are we?

Thatuserguy,

I’ve been hanging on the new release emails waiting for months without a peep. I’ll honestly be shocked if I see it eventually at this point

thatKamGuy, do games w The Betrayal of Limited Run Games: What They Don't Want You to See

Makes me all the more glad I wasn’t tempted by the $666 USD Doom 1&2 CE they were spruiking over Easter.

JigglySackles,

I loved the options it came with. But that price tag was the real gimmick. So fucking overpriced.

thatKamGuy,

For the price they were asking, I honestly would’ve expected physical (e.g. floppy disk shaped flash drives) copies of Doom 1&2, equipped with controls onboard to play the games directly off of them.

JigglySackles,

At a minimum for sure. 666 is an incredibly high ask.

thermal_shock,

That was almost 3 car payments before I finished paying off the note. Not even close to tempting me with molded plastic toys.

It looks great, and it’s AVAILABLE TODAY! The rumors were (unsurprisingly) right on the money, it was a shadowdrop.

Edit: Official 20 minute showcase is here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=kk5cymSWmqo

Asafum,

I’m so happy to have been wrong about the shadow drop! Now I just need to get through the rest of the day at work lol

simple,

You and me both, but at least I’ll see first impressions before I get back home.

iAmTheTot, do games w The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered - Official Trailer (Available Today!)

Looks amazing, definitely gonna pick this up.

Edited to add further thoughts

Having a deluxe edition of a remaster feels bad, though I don’t completely begrudge them. It was still a lot of work, time, and effort to do this.

I kinda love releases like this with no build up. I know that this was leaked but I mean compared to six years of announcement to release, I much prefer this kind of shadow drop.

TommySoda,

A deluxe edition does seem a little lame for a remaster. But at the same time the deluxe edition is still cheaper than Starfield and I’d much rather play this.

samus12345,

If this were a Nintendo game it’d be $80 for the base and $90 for Deluxe.

RaoulDook,

How much is the horse armor?

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

$10. I’m not joking. It’s a part of the deluxe edition.

iAmTheTot,

Yes and no. All original dlc is included in the base game, including the infamous horse armour.

The Deluxe Edition adds art book, OST, and some new weapon, armours, and yes horse armours not in the original game.

iAmTheTot,

Included in the game. Deluxe edition adds new horse armours (among a few other things).

mic_check_one_two,

Included. The Deluxe edition adds some new gear, but all the old content (including the old DLC) is available in the base game.

TommySoda, do games w The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered - Official Trailer (Available Today!)

I straight up got emotional during the trailer and announcement stream. Oblivion was the first RPG of this kind that I ever played and was one of my favorite games in middle school. Hopefully it’s a stable release because I wanna play that shit as soon as I get home from work.

RaoulDook,

There is the Skywind project, but I’m not sure if any progress has been made in the last year

Morrowind would be a whole different beast to remaster. Not saying I wouldn’t enjoy some better graphics and tweaked systems, but it would be a hard sell to most gamers if they only did that.

-no voice acting -outdated gameplay systems -Game map that wasn’t designed with unlimited draw distance, fast travel, or even unlimited running in mind.

Honestly at this point it would be better served by a full remake.

grue,

Morrowind has plenty of fast travel. In fact, it has better fast-travel than later Elder Scrolls games because it’s actually integrated into the gameplay.

FenrirIII,
@FenrirIII@lemmy.world avatar

Sky walking was so much fun. Not always faster, but fun

grue,

It was also neat that the game was designed for it (Telvanni towers, secrets in high places, etc.).

Initiateofthevoid,

Agreed. Super convenient fast travel takes something away from the game. It turns an adventure into a handful of loading screens, which is egregious in Starfield because “travel through space” boiled down to "here’s 4 more loading screens every single time you want to do anything.

@BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee avatar

skyrim has carriages and boats though

Tattorack,
@Tattorack@lemmy.world avatar

Yes, that’s why you’d make it a remaster; to fix all of those things.

TachyonTele,

Modern mods fix almost all of those issues.
The game can easily be ‘remastered’.

figjam,

Can we just have 6 instead?

harrys_balzac,

No. Oblivion remastered. Then Skyrim Special Oblivion Remastered Anniversary Edition. Then Starfield Remastered.

rdri,

Then Oblivion Remastered 2 since the current one will be outdated by that time.

The Oblivion score is so good.

Quetzalcutlass,

Jeremy Soule did amazing work. Unfortunately it turned out he was a terrible person and he was blacklisted from the industry after multiple allegations were made against him during the movement.

morphballganon,

Oh that sucks

Yeah that was really disappointing

Looking at Steam it looks like they locked the expansions behind the deluxe edition?

NutinButNet, (edited )

Yep, they did…it’s pretty shitty.

Though it’s only $10 upgrade, whether you choose now or later. But still, for a 19 year old game, come on man.

Apparently I was reading this wrong.

Here’s the poster from Steam

@NOT_RICK@lemmy.world avatar

They have not, actually.

NutinButNet,

Thanks for the correction. I was reading the poster on Steam incorrectly, it seems.

https://hilariouschaos.com/pictrs/image/df22ea8f-fc8a-4b2f-b86e-410fe9169523.webp

So all the stuff on the left is in the base purchase but all the stuff on the right is the extras in the deluxe

samus12345,

It’s poorly done, possibly to trick people into thinking they have to get the Deluxe version to get the expansions.

@troed@fedia.io avatar

This is what it says for the deluxe edition on the PS Store:

"Upgrade* from the digital base game to The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered Deluxe Edition* to receive:

  • Unique digital Akatosh and Mehrunes Dagon Armors, Weapons, and Horse Armor Sets
  • Digital Artbook and Soundtrack App

*Base game required, sold separately"

Wow, they literally added more horse armor lol

iAmTheTot,

Every publication I’ve read says the DLCs are all included in the base game. Deluxe adds new cosmetics, OST, and an art book.

mic_check_one_two,

Nope, the old DLC is available in the base game. The Deluxe edition adds some new armor (and yes, new horse armor) but isn’t necessary to access the old DLC.

Did they change anything meaningful, like removing that aweful level scaling?

psx_crab,

They did, but to what end we might find out just a few hours from now. Seems like minigame stay the same, but the combat is revamped

Edit: ohh wait i don’t think they mentioned scaling, but just the levelling is changed.

Omegamanthethird,
@Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world avatar

All of the games have scaling of some kind (at least Morrowind and Skyrim do). Just as long as they make suboptimal builds viable rather than punishing, that’s all I need.

Even though I have been gaming since Pong (my first game console), I have never played any Elder Scrolls games. This trailer’s voice over is new to me, and it is so strange and nostalgic to hear Patrick Stewart’s young and vibrant voice on the trailer for a game released this morning.

RampantParanoia2365,

Haha, I wondered at first if that was Patrick Stewart, and then decided it wasn’t. Glad I was wrong.

samus12345,

He’s almost the age of the emperor now.

Quetzalcutlass,

90% of Oblivion’s voice acting budget must have gone to paying for Patrick Stewart and Sean Bean to say a few dozen lines. It’s long been a meme that basically every other person in Cyrodill shares the same six or seven voice actors.
