I'm getting 60fps no problem apart from at a handful of moments

In the original game, the telling point was the great battle with the Oblivion forces at Bruma. The game would just slow to a crawl. I wonder if the remaster will fair better at that point in the game?

Terrific! That means my T580 laptop is covered. Since the MX150 chipset is still supported by the proprietary drivers, I'll wait until the performance comparisons come out.

Happy to know that Kepler is still on the radar, even if it is limited to Vulkan 1.2. It's the active support I'm hoping for, more than anything. Combine Kepler NVK with Proton-Sarek and my beloved T440p will be even better than it was before.

At least the price is much more reasonable than the other remaster announced today.

500MB reduction in size of the game.

Well ... you don't hear that very often in this day and age. Especially in an Unreal Engine 5 based game ...

Unreal Engine 5?

I don't get it. Why didn't they use the Creation Engine from Skyrim SE or even their Creation Engine 2 from Starfield?

Don't get me wrong. From the launch videos, animated GIFs and pictures, the remaster looks gorgeous. It won't run in my gaming laptop, however. 125GB of storage? Sorry, Todd. I didn't upgrade for Starfield and I'm not upgrading for this one either. Those days are done.

I'll happily do another playthrough of my slightly modded version of the original Oblivion one more time ...

I really like the way it looks, just picked it up now, hopefully it will have a vibrant modding community.

Do we even know if it will be possible to mod in Oblivion Remastered? Are we just assuming it will be because other Bethesda games do?

The GOG version has no multiplayer

Not that unusual for releases on the GOG store. I have no idea if it was the only way GOG could get the publisher to agree to put it on their store or if the publisher simply disabled the multiplayer to avoid headaches with servers that are no longer supported and/or active.

GOG's push has always been primarily to guarantee the ability to play singleplayer while offline, DRM-free. Never really bothered me since I'm not a fan of multiplayer gaming in general.

Oof! I'm with @M@GOid and @tannertech on this one. I typically wait a couple minor updates before taking on the next major update. Gives the devs a chance to work out the kinks and is less hassle for me.

I guess I should say thanks to early adopters, though, as they are the ones who identify those kinks. :wink:

That being said, I was testing Kubuntu's major upgrade feature in a VM a while back. After the second upgrade, I could only login to KDE in Wayland mode. Xorg would cause Plasma to lock up and crash. So, not the first time the upgrade tool buggered things up ...

Now, that's one distro I haven't tried. I heard that openSUSE Tumbleweed was more for advanced power users (much like Arch) and, assuming it might have a steep learning curve, I skipped over it. I prefer distros that "just work" with minimal tweaking -- well, like Linux Mint, for example. I'll admit, the rolling release feature is appealing, though.

@Daniel-Alhadeff

Thank you for caring enough about prospective customers to release a demo. Much appreciated.
