I must admit, it's not "just" a remaster, but they somehow managed to capture the spirit of '06 when this first came out PERFECTLY. Picture this: I was still in college and studying at home when Oblivion was finally released. I had been waiting for it for a long time (to my young mind back then) and I remember it was a perfectly beautiful, sunny day and I was home alone with no obvious way to get to a game store.
So I asked my elderly neighbor if I could borrow her clunker of a car for "an errand" and drove over an hour to the nearest game shop.
From the game itself I mostly remember how drop-dead gorgeous everything seemed - and how terrible my PC's performance was back then, especially in outdoors areas.
Today, I experienced the exact same form of awe, followed by the most gorgeous graphics I could imagine, and... 15 fps outdoors. EXACTLY how things used to be when I was a young man.
Magic. Truly a win for Bethesda (after Starfield). Now all I need is a PC who can actually run the damn thing on high with over 60 FPS.
I have a 4070 ti and I still got 17fps after leaving the sewers. The game runs like ass.
Dang, I'm playing it on a Series X and it looks and runs great.
Unreal Engine 5 isn't all that great when it comes to utilising the CPU. What CPU do you have and on what settings are you running?
Asking out of curiosity, haven't bought the game yet.
I7 13700.
3840x1080 ultra wide. Tried low, medium, high, and ultra, dlss on and off, and it's still ran like a potato
Damn, this is with everything on max at 4K with DLSS & Framegen?

You brought back some memories for me. Exiting the sewer for the first time. Setting graphics to full and waiting for the details to slowly emerge. An audible "wow" left my lips, then I set the graphics back down to as low as they could go so I could actually play.
