In this video from Skill Up, the channel dives into the release of Bethesda's Elder Scrolls Oblivion Remastered. The remaster boasts a significant graphical overhaul using Unreal Engine 5, enhancing facial animations and updating combat mechanics. Despite retaining the original game engine to preserve beloved bugs and quirks, the remaster quickly became a top seller on Steam, priced at $50 with a deluxe edition available for $60. Bethesda's decision not to officially support mods for the remaster sparked mixed reactions, with players already creating over 100 mods independently.
Bungie's new game, Marathon, faced criticism following a gameplay reveal, prompting a closed alpha test with a strict NDA that was later lifted to encourage open feedback and discussion. The studio aims to involve the community in shaping the game's development, mirroring their approach with Destiny. Speaking of Destiny, Bungie announced a live stream to reveal the next year of content, including a new expansion titled "Edge of Fate." Larian Studios also released the final update for Baldur's Gate 3, introducing crossplay, a photo mode, and new subclasses, signaling a shift in focus towards their next project.
Additionally, Bethesda offers retired Elder Scrolls Online server hardware for sale, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members can now stream games they own to consoles, and Konami's reputation among Japanese game developers is on the rise. The Skill Up video provides a comprehensive overview of the gaming landscape, highlighting key developments and industry trends. From remastered classics to new game releases and community-driven feedback, the video offers valuable insights for gamers worldwide.
