Forums - Microsoft - Xbox360's Oblivion looks like a remaster on the One X

Pretty much just a res boost.
I guess that is all you would expect from a remaster, but we should have higher standards than this.

Bethesda badly needs to drop Creation for their next game, it is so outdated at this point, it's a rebuilt Gamebryo, an engine that is over 20 years old at this point. Please for the love of all that is good in this world, use idTech 6 as a foundation for a new open world engine Bethesda. I want Starfield, or Game of Thrones, or Fallout 5, or TES 6 or whatever your next game is to look gorgeous Bethesda, gorgeous out of the box without having to mod the heck out of it first. 

It actually started life out as NetImmerse that Morrowind used.
That engine was bought out by another company, renamed, enhanced... And packaged as GameBryo which Oblivion used.
Bethesda had then altered the Gamebryo engine to such a degree within Gamebryo's framework of course, that they rebadged it as the Creation Engine.

That engine was first used in 1999 with Prince of Persia 3D, 18 years ago.
For retrospect... Call of Duty is still using a heavily modified variant of the Quake 3 engine.

idTech 6 is likely not capable of powering a game like Elder Scrolls, they are large, expansive games heavy in scripting and most idTech 6 games are not.

I think Bethesda at this point with the success that Skyrim has brought and continues to bring them... They should have the resources to build their own engine from scratch or bring such capabilities to idTech 7.

Considering that Oblivion can run on a Pentium 3, I don't think you need a $2,000 PC. Even your crappy $50 chinese Intel Atom devices can do it.

You won't be running Oblivion at 4k on a Pentium 3 or Intel Atom.
Just reinforcing the fact that the game can run on a toaster.

Looks amazing, if this was on another platform they would have charged for it. *Cough God Of War 3 Cough*

God of War III on PS4 was notable upgrade, though. This? Not so much. There isn't anything that looks amazing in that video. It's merely a cleaned up 11 (almost twelve)-year-old game.

As much as I loved playing God of War 3 again in the Remastered version... the main improvements were a higher resolution + anti-aliasing + locked 60 fps:

"On the face of it, God of War 3 Remastered appears to be nothing more than a straight-up port of the PS3 game, with its enhancements mostly coming from its full HD resolution upgrade and much higher, more consistent frame-rate."
