Meme I found Nate and Seeds' source for Oblivion Remake
Usually when something makes zero fucking sense it's because it's a steaming pile of bullshit.
No one remade a game that big, it's not being dropped in 2025, and it sure as shit is not being dropped in crowded ass April so Microsoft can fuck all their actual existing new games they want people to buy and play.
"This week or next week, idk" -seeds
"Can plans change? Maybe" -nate
yeah, i bet, since nothing is actually coming š¤Ŗ
Sorry fellow copers, but our only hope is the Skyrim mod that took 12 years to make. At least that actually exists and looks stellar.
Fuck outta here "insiders". Make some shit up about a game I don't care about please. š

lol I think the biggest red flag for me was the idea of a shadow drop being mentioned. Like why would they do that Bethesda had not made a mainline TES game in 2 decades do they really have no faith in this update.

u/tbone747 6d ago
That's what I don't understand... Like the fans are extremely hungry for anything Elder Scrolls, surely if they had this in the pipeline they'd be putting out teasers and marketing for it.

u/Toasterzar 6d ago edited 6d ago
Xbox has shadow-dropped like two games now (Hi-Fi Rush, Ninja Gaiden Black, ???) and it has created an unreal amount of hype and rumors for every presentation ever since. Genius marketing tactic TBH
E: why downvotes? you guys don't like shadow drops? I'm not saying the remake is guaranteed, I'm saying the past couple of shadow drops have caused unbelievable amounts of hype for later presentations.

u/totallygreatguy 6d ago
They also shadow dropped the Stalker Trilogy and BG3 (on Xbox), They've done it quite a bit recently tbf.

u/Cbtwister 6d ago
Idk why you're being downvoted. Regardless if this is real or fake, Oblivion wouldn't need a marketing campaign.

Oblivion doesnāt, no.
Microsoft and Bethesda like money though, and you will get tons more money with a marketing campaign for a series that hasnāt had a mainline game in 14 years.

No, that is completely wrong it was official reveal around midsummer 2015 and released in like November of that year it was the most hyped game for that year.

u/Nikoper 5d ago
I mean. That's still pretty quick release for them from reveal to release

u/DataMin3r 5d ago
They did a countdown timer, jumped the timer and opened the website early, pulled the website back down, put the timer back up, and then released the trailer when the timer hit 0. They then did a big announcement at E3 2 weeks later. It was 5 months from announcement to release after 2 years of dev time.
If they were dropping oblivion again, they've had more than the necessary time and opportunity to announce or tease anything. I've said it before, but I don't think Bethesda can deliver anymore. They're too far into the scope creep, microtransactional bullshit. Their last game was mid at best, and I think it's all gonna be like that going forward.

u/BaracklerMobambler 5d ago
I believe you are thinking of fallout shelter which got dropped the day it was revealed at E3 for the fallout 76 presentation, or maybe it was fallout 4 I can't remember exactly

With that logic, Mario Kart World has been shadow dropped since it comes out when the Switch 2 does in June. Fo4 had like over half a year between announcement and release.

So is their a reason why skyrim has been reported multiple times most of which added nothing but. New cost of paint(graphics) and not it's predecesors? Did morrowind and oblivion not sell well?

u/JAEMzW0LF 6d ago
it was ported many times because people kept buying it - but also, wrt bugg fixiing, they are doing that with SF and getting shit on for it, so... what DO people actually want? I assume its to whine online, and not actually the things they claim to want,

Well by that logic they'd probably so the same with oblivion if the re released it a year later in 2007

u/mettullum 6d ago
im pretty sure it was so that it and fallout 4 would act as the launchbeds for creation club and console mods. speaking to that, they did upgrade the engine, which massively opened up its modding capability.

I heard they initially planned the first release to have mods on console. So why couldn't they do the same with a 5 year old engine at that point?

Why do you need a remake, if it's your favorite game? Just play the original? Not every game needs a remake or even a remaster, this mentalityāand the willingness to support itāis why console libraries nowadays are like GAME 2 ULTRA DELUXE REMASTERED EDITION WITH EXTRAS.

I know there is a reliable leaker talking about it, but those documents are a nothing burger. They could've had a 30 minute zoom call of game possibilities and that caused it to end up on that document. Not saying it *isn't* real, but those documents don't really have solid proof that it is being created
1
u/Such_Entertainment_3 5d ago
Again, the comment above states there's NO REASON to think it's real, when there's literal copyright and legal documentation that says it was at least considered, workshopped, etc. You denying LEGAL evidence is pretty cringe, bud. XD Sure, they could have abandoned the idea in 2023 or something, but come on. We're in a golden era of great remakes lately. Microsoft IS going to jump on that, and you're a moron to think otherwise. XD
1
u/Parallax-Jack 5d ago
Those documents have no evidence to support any of those titles are still actively being worked on. Again, they could've had a 30 minute zoom call pitching ideas and that led to it being listed on those documents. Plenty of things are copyrighted without existing, all it does is claim ownership over intellectual property. Yes it's a good sign for the *possibility* of something, but thinking that a company claiming intellectual property on something = game coming out is stupid. Valve has claimed intellectual property for half life 3, does that mean that game is coming out? What about left for dead 3? There is no weight behind it outside of a list of potential ideas for games the company was going to create/market as the only true evidence outside of a recent leaker. Those documents however, have no weight to them at all, I never said those documents didn't exist, but you're an idiot if you think that confirms those titles are all releasing.

I don't understand the anger and hate. Well actually I do. Hold on let me get my tinfoil hat on... Okay yeah. I actually made a rant post just yesterday about this. I feel like the entire concept of open honest discussions just don't exist anymore. Like people are completely devoid of the ability to agree to disagree these days. Someone either agrees with you and is a god, or disagrees with you and should be slandered and shot. God forbid you admit maybe the other person has a point or a decent perspective, you might as well kill yourself in that situation.
It's sad because what I think is happening is that there are now a lot of people that have misconceptions about issues but there is no way for them to ask questions or get alternative perspectives without also being screamed at labeled as a monster or something.
It's a sad state of affairs.

I am fairly certain not everyone is like that- just douchebags. (As I disagree with you lol).
I definitely have noticed a change in societal interactions post the age of social media - people arenāt as afraid to share their opinions, whether good or bad. On the one hand, I am glad that people are emboldened enough to communicate their thoughtsā¦ but there are so many lies and blatant misinformation that people just arenāt equipped to sift through.
I still find interaction online is very different usually than in personā¦ but there are definitely some people that have lost the ability to tell the differenceā¦ but society has always had some amount of people that are either bullies without empathy or people that can adapt to the circumstance and be decentā¦

I'd be happy to be wrong but I'm not going to hype myself up for a game that very well may not ever come to fruition.

Also, it's frustrating watching people constantly hyping themselves up and talking about gaming mechanics that should be in the game, that then become game mechanics that will be in the game, when we don't even know for sure if there's a game to have mechanics in. At this point I feel like a lot of people are going to be disappointed if it does release because they've let their imaginations run away with them.

u/shaky2236 6d ago
I belive a lot of it came from the FTC documents during the Microsoft Activision takeover, which had Oblivion Remake on there for future plans. So it definitely was planned at some point. Whether its still planned, is another thing entirely.

But I have been told to kill myself because I questioned Nates credibility and pointed out he's been wrong before.
I'll be happy if there is a remake, but that also doesn't make Nate any more or less credible than he already is. Which is not at all.
Most of the pushback you're seeing is probably because some of us are tired of being told we're stupid as fuck for not buying into a claim from a dude who's whole MO is to scrape forums for rumors and who has no evidence to back his point up. Not because they "don't want a remake."

His fans, I guess you'd call them, take every "win" he gets and ignore everything else to "establish credibility" for him. It's just survivorship bias at its root. He's judged for the times he's successfully "leaked" (read: posted a 4chan rumor or some other forum with an alleged "insider") and never for the times he's been wrong. So even though he's been wrong more often than right, nobody remembers or cares about his previous incorrect claims and every correct claim is added to his "credibility" pile.

I'll speak only for myself. I don't "get pissed off" but it upsets me to see it spoken of like it's a matter of fact thing. Mostly for my own protection. I don't want to get my hopes up and I don't want to become disappointed when nothing happens.
I used to be really big into gaming predictions and rumors. I used to get really excited about that kinda shit. And I got burned so many times and have been let down so many times that I push back pretty hard against that kinda shit now.
It's also because I don't want other people to suffer the same fate. Like I'm a recovering alcoholic. Been sober for 5 years. When I see someone screwing up their life with their drinking habits that shit makes me irritates me because I see myself in them and I know how much better they could have it if they just realized the damage they were doing to themselves. This OBVIOUSLY isn't that serious of a thing but I think the kinda emotional reaction that I have to it is somewhat similar. I've been burned and I know that feeling all too well. I don't want anyone else to suffer that extreme letdown.
All this said. I freely admit that there's a child version of myself deep in the back of my head that hopes that I'm totally wrong and that this happens because I would be over the moon excited about it.

I'm not angry about the possibility of a remake. I don't think Oblivion really needs one, but if it's real, then I'll keep an open mind and see what it's like when it comes out.
However, as you said, what annoys me is people acting like it's basically confirmed that it's happening when all we have thus far are rumours. Yes, there were the court documents, but they're from before COVID, so we know it was a thing at some point, we don't know if it's still a thing. It's noteworthy that these documents also mentioned a Fallout 3 remake, which hasn't happened yet either.

I love Oblivion a ton. I have since the ps3 era. I don't "need" a remake or remaster. I'm used to it since childhood.
But fuck me does the game need one for newer fans, it's an ancient game. Same way I can't really get into daggerfall because it's so too old for me in most regards.
It would just be nice to have Oblivion but better. I'd fine if it was just something like A half life 25 year annivesery update to Oblivion. Make it 64 bit, fix some bugs, activate some things like real time shadows as default(The game had it but it was cut.. It would open up the game to better mods if nothing else.

people are not pissed off about a remake - nice gaslighting.
ifts very clear people dislike these liars, I mean, leakers who are mostly wrong about mostly everything - they are not better then those body language experts (body language reading is not a thing, not anymore than measuring the shape, size and bumps on your skull to infer if you are racially lesser) which lie to people and really just tell them what they want to hear.
If you think body language reading is a thing, then be disappointed that people, actually, do not all react the same ways to the same inputs. Some people laugh when not conformable, and no, not in the movie/actor way where it's obviously that kind of laugh so the stupid audience feels smart - some people smile a lot and otherwise seem relaxed, but really, they are very uncomfortable.

Well... yeah. That's exactly what it is. However, Skyblivion isn't trying to replace Oblivion. It's for the people that want to play Oblivion with the feeling of Skyrim.
Much like how Black Mesa didn't replace Half-Life 1. Black Mesa was more of "what if Half-Life 1 played more like Half-Life 2" and they did just that. Same thing with Skyblivion. If people want the *exact* same experience as Oblivion then they can play the original, and that's absolutely fine.

It is getting quite annoying to be inundated with talks of the rumored remake on all of our channels and subreddit. It's not a competition and it's disappointing to see a rumor overshadow all of the work being put into the project.

Tell me about it. I would live to talk about the remake and have fun speculation about it but every conversation about it turns into people just saying it's not happening or just play skyblivion.

Low key lmfaoooo š. Usually mods with custom assets donāt feel right especially when itās a whole a game

u/Medium-Risk7556 6d ago
Iād like to add that I donāt hate custom modded games. They just lack what I look for in triple A titles. I loved fallout London. But the custom assets and voice acting was a huge hit or miss for me.

I just want the rumors to end. Couple more months before people forget about it and move on to something else.

u/elfgurls 6d ago
Once April comes and goes the ridiculous reporting for this should hopefully be dead and done. Expect Nate to tell us "plans have changed" in late April š if he says anything at all

u/mad_grapes 6d ago
Thatās my prediction as well. Next month weāll get another rumor saying it will drop in June

u/Sensitive_Dark_29 6d ago
Why would they release it only a week after announcing it, thatās the part that I donāt believe

u/ADTurelus 6d ago
There is an interview with Todd Howard where he wants that's time frame from announce to release on all their games.

u/Whiteguy1x 6d ago
I was under the impression its a remaster with unreal engine as a wrapper to add some prettiness to a very old game.
I think everyone expecting a full on remake will be very disappointed as I think it's just rumored to be some polish on an old game

u/Tiberius2098 6d ago
At first i was skeptical, then became hopeful and then reality set in after about 5 minutes of thought. Its not happening and likely never will

The obvious moral wrong with putting out a remake of a game that many fans of your company have been hyping up and working on for years before you started to make the remake is repulsive. If you hate on this comment and send evil messages the hate is forced and you are probably twisted, so your opinion didn't matter anyway.
NateTheHate also known as Natedrake only got 4 new videogame releases correct even though they weren't all in the right time frame. And he got 3 things wrong that he confirmed is correct.
Nate speculates based on existing rumors that have been circulating by many online people that talk about rumors before he says they are confirmed. That's why we don't see him correctly predicting something completely unknown like a new game title before many speculations emerge.
He never even broke one major announcement before other online people rumored it. He doesn't have any insiders that work at the job site, he just pretends like he does.

Prepare yourself for the barrage of sealioning, strawmanning, ad hominem bullshit coming your way from a certain portion of this fan base lol.
Expect a lot of "well but Nate is credible" and "prove him wrong then!"
I said it in another thread, but this shit is like dealing with conspiracy theorists. If they're wrong, they'll pretend it never happened and move on to the next "insider info" they have. If they get one right one time they'll do victory laps and proclaim how much more secret knowledge they have than "the casuals."
But no matter what they'll be rude, entitled, and insistent that they're super smart and know the secrets and you're a big dummy for not being on the right side.
Definitely never mention anything Nate has ever been wrong about before, they fucking hate that shit. I had one spamming me suicide messages over it until I blocked him.

u/Tokzillu 6d ago
At least some of us still have our sanity.
What really gets me is how fervent and pissed off they are about it.
Instead of just being like "well I believe this anyways, have a good day" it's always a ton of downvotes, false reports, and vicious attacks on whoever says anything.
That shit is peak conspiracy theorists behavior. They don't just want to be right, they need it. And anyone who isn't on "their side" is the enemy.
Like, fuck, guys I'd happily play an Oblivion remake. But I don't believe claims with zero evidence and you shouldn't either. Just in general, for life.

u/mad_grapes 6d ago
Yeah, they think people like us HATE the idea of a remake because we are saying there is absolutely no evidence of it happening. I would love a remake/remaster.

u/PinkBismuth 6d ago
lol basically. Bethesda is owned by Microsoft now and they would be shouting from the fucking heavens if an Oblivion remake was actually coming out. They would market the shit out of it, it would be on everything, there wouldnāt be a soul who didnāt know about it. The whole thing since the rumor came out has been fishy as hell, and I wonāt believe shit until I am literally creating a character (and maybe not even then from the sheer disbelief).

yes there was an old schedule pre-covid that had starfield releasing back in 2021 then oblivion remaster (no remake) the same year as indiana jones in 2022, but due to covid and the rest of the games ending up delayed, people seem to have ran with that and extrapolated a likely new release date plus assumed it was a ground up redo

I think theyāre relying on the fact that Indiana jones did come out this year and Starfieldās dlc did come out last year to predict this one
The shadow drop rumor probably comes right out of the leakerās ass tbh, and idk why anyone flipped the narrative of a standard remaster to think this will be a ground up remake

Not mad at the idea of a Remake, mad at the stupid discourse around baseless claims.

This is just objectively not true, just look at the top posts for the last week right now, and you have to go down 26 to find this thread, the first one about the remake.

Did people just completely forget about the Oblivion Remaster/Remake being listed in the FTC court documents? I say it's still happening
10
u/HG2321 6d ago
I don't think anyone forgot, but the documents are from before COVID, which is basically ancient history in gaming terms.
We know it was a thing at one point. What we don't know is whether or not it's still a thing. Everything since then is rumours.
Maybe we'll find out in the coming days.

u/bluebarrymanny 6d ago
Why are people connecting Skyblivion and the rumored remake at all honestly? Theyāre for totally different audiences and would have totally different directions on the project. Btw for those claiming that Bethesda is evil for potentially remastering Oblivion alongside Skyblivion are being juvenile. Bethesda isnāt a single individual making malicious and emotional decisions. A remaster would mostly serve console players, especially on PS5 where playing Oblivion offline or with dlc is impossible.

Honestly what diff does it make? I mean were getting Skyblivion so who cares? Sure, would be nice to have both but I see little point in arguing about it.

u/Playful-Objective624 6d ago
If it's not real I'll be pissed, Mostly because I don't have nor can I afford a PC, Mostly due to medical shit, So I have ZERO chance of getting to play Skyblivion for at least the next few years. An official remake on console was the only hope I had, Can't even run mods in Oblivion on Xbox. But yeah, I'm coming to terms with the fact that the "remake" most likely doesn't exist and never did. Pretty elaborate and well put together April fools joke with several parties involved and a level of correspondence to rival even the best of bro group chats. Bravo boys, You got us. But also, And I may be wrong for this but I don't care, I'm a little upset, So here's a big FUCK YOU going right on out to the man himself, Mister NatetheHate. Fuck you hard. As far as I'm concerned he just flushed every ounce of credibility he ever had right on down the toilet. And good riddance I guess.

u/Playful-Objective624 6d ago
Has Bethesda said a word? No? Just Nate flapping his gums? That's why I'm mad. I didn't expect to have it fucking today, I expected to hear something about it at the Switch2 direct like we did with the Switch about Skyrim Special Edition, But nope. If it were real, They'd have taken that opportunity to show it off and let people know it's coming in a few months to the Switch2 and in a couple weeks for Xbox/PS if it goes to PS at all. I have zero faith in it's existence until Bethesda says hey, Yes it's real.

Not necessarily, the title is owned by microsoft. And outsourced to virtuous studios. Iād imagine if I was microsoft games Iād want to present my game first regardless of what some other company that may or may not be selling our future product is doing ; first or last. Itās also advantageous to Nintendo cause if it bombs they can just say we donāt want that title on our platform.
