“inspired by souls-like games” for the Oblivion remake is making me laugh.

I’m tempted to pretend like I’ve never played an Elder Scrolls game and do a bit for a video where I look at it purely through the lens of it being inspired by Fromsoft.

To be fair though, it does say specifically in that tweet that it’s the blocking that is inspired by souls-like games, not the remake as a whole, right?

You gotta do it now.
Might be even funnier if you did like Morrowind or Daggerfell and constantly compared it to Kingsfield.

yomavai.bsky.social•17 days ago

If you think about it, elder scrolls is just a very large kings field-like (heavy sarcasm)

Mankar Camoran and his two shitass children fighting you here

There better be a dodge roll if they are making these claims!

There are only a few categories of games you are allowed to compare to:
1. Souls like
2. Roguelike
3. Walking Simulator
4. Platformer
5. Zelda-like
6. RPG (everything else that doesn't fall under the above but has at least one skill point or character build choice)

"Oblivion is the latest soulslike from Bethesda" is so cursed as a sentence.

liamliore.bsky.social•17 days ago

blocking inspired...? I wonder if they mean Elden Ring's counter mechanic. That would be a neat addition to sword and board.

put it in a steam dumpster diving episode and see if anyone notices

omegagrimoire.bsky.social•17 days ago

I'm looking forward to seeing the Oblivion remake in Steam Dumpsterdive

I really hope they don’t butcher Oblivion too much with these adjustments and just make it another Skyrim re-release (except in a new area! Wow!)

Speaking of Oblivion…I should go play it again.

"this is a carbon copy of Boletaria"

renaigh.bsky.social•7 days ago

they may not be Mechanically similar, but if we define a Souls-Like through Lore and how it's presented, the Elder Scrolls series would qualify.

wodar.bsky.social•17 days ago

Would watch!
But honestly comparing what they keep vs what they change for a modern remake of oblivion would be a good discussion

"This is really impressive for a solo-dev" and it's just Todd Howard

"Hello I'm Bethany Esda and this is my game, Fallout 4" (this is not my joke I stole it from Monster Factory)

No balls

fredrikhathen.bsky.social•17 days ago

What does that even MEAN. I'm actually weirdly intrigued by this now!

kingborehaha.bsky.social•17 days ago

i think you might be the one guy who could pull this bit off properly

janpospisil.bsky.social•17 days ago

That's incredibly funny. I remember how revolutionary combat-wise Oblivion was supposed to be - it's real this time - no dice hit-rolls, no auto-blocks! And yeah, we mostly thought it was the tits on release.

bonfirewatcher.bsky.social•17 days ago

"blocking inspired by souls-like games" is specifically odd. Do they just mean that stamina goes down when you block? Skyrim does that

coutaotxt.bsky.social•17 days ago

skyblivion looks way better tbh...

mcdonnellshea.bsky.social•17 days ago

It makes me irrationally angry when people use remaster and remake interchangeably

tukenfarben.bsky.social•17 days ago

It's got knights and stamina and you die sometimes, Pineapple. It's Dark Souls.

zafrazaleska.bsky.social•17 days ago

And so we come full circle. Where Oblivion was the starting point for Demon's Souls before Miyazaki took the helm, now we have an Oblivion taking inspiration from Souls games.
