The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered — The Most Requested Features Players Want Bethesda to Add
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered has been in players’ hands for almost a week, and they’ve already got a long list of changes they’d love to see included.
Since Bethesda Game Studios and Virtuos shadow-dropped their heavily rumored Oblivion remaster last Tuesday, fans have spent dozens of hours revisiting Cyrodiil to see how it compares to the 2006 original. While the vast majority of its vibrant hills and demonic Oblivion Gates are the same but with a fresh coat of paint, some major gameplay elements have been tweaked to make the overall experience more appealing to newcomers. So, with features like a sprint mechanic added, fans have one question on their minds: what else could be added?
Bethesda heard players’ cries for...
The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in games has been discussed more and more lately. NieR series director Yoko Taro has weighed in too, expressing concern that it could lead to game creators losing jobs to AI.
In a recent interview at Famitsu, as translated by Automaton, several Japanese game developers known for narrative and storytelling discussed their approach to game creation. Alongside Yoko Taro, there was also Kotaro Uchikoshi (Zero Escape, AI: The Somnium Files), Kazutaka Kodaka (Danganronpa), and Jiro Ishii (428: Shibuya Scramble).
During the interview, the group was asked what the future of adventure games might be, and both Yoko and Uchikoshi discussed AI.
“There’s a lot of new games I want to create, but with AI...

Ever played Sonic and thought, “What if this were a super stylish roguelike?” Honestly, it’s not such a wild idea. There’s just something magical about that feeling of the world whipping past you, and while Sonic may be the undisputed champ of speed, a few indie games manage to capture that same thrill in their […]

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Warzone have a new premium emote that lets you hide in a cardboard box — and of course players are abusing it.
Call of Duty has seen its fair share of microtransactions dubbed pay-to-win by the community. The infamous Roze skin, which was incredibly hard to see, ended up being changed for battle royale Warzone. The developers of Call of Duty recently ended up changing a Terminator skin for similar reasons. But this cardboard box emote may be the most pay-to-win of them all.
It’s part of the premium 2,400 COD Points Cardboard Commando bundle, which turns your soldier and weapons into cardboard. Fun at first glance, and certainly in-keeping with Call of Duty’s penchant for goofy skins. But it’s the Surprise...
While The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered is, overall, a smash hit, with 4 million players, a ‘very positive’ user review rating on Steam, and high peak concurrents, some aspects of the rework have caused veteran fans to complain. Chief among them: a door.
Warning! Potential spoilers for The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered follow.
This has to do with the door to the Dark Brotherhood’s Cheydinhal sanctuary entrance. It is at the centre of an iconic moment in Oblivion, one that players who took on the excellent Dark Brotherhood quest will probably remember well. In the original Oblivion, the glowing door has a heavy mood aesthetic and a relief showing the Night Mother (who members of the assassination obsessed Dark...
It looks like one of the PlayStation Plus games for May 2025 has leaked.
While nothing is confirmed by Sony yet, rumor has it teen slasher horror romp Until Dawn will be a free download for PlayStation players in May. Although the key art certainly suggests it's the Until Dawn Remastered that's coming, rather than the 2014 original, it's not entirely clear; we'll confirm just as soon as we know for sure.
PlayStation Plus is an online gaming service for PlayStation platforms that includes free monthly games, limited-time trials, online multiplayer, and member-exclusive discounts. It also includes a catalog of hundreds of current and classic games for Extra and Premium members, although the monthly free games are available to all...
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has sold over a million copies, publisher Kepler Interactive has announced.
We already knew the debut RPG from developer Sandfall Interactive got off to a flying start given it hit a sales milestone of 500,000 copies sold within 24 hours, and now it's doubled that.
"And here we are. Three days after launch. One million copies sold. Thank you for believing in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33," the studio said on social media over the weekend.
That's not the only milestone it hit, either. According to SteamDB, over the weekend Clair Obscur hit a concurrent peak of 121,422 players on Steam. That's significantly ahead of the concurrent peak of any other game from notable RPG developer Atlus, including fellow RPG...
If you’re one of the many fans of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered on PC, you might have noticed the game has more than a few issues.
According to the tech experts at Digital Foundry, Oblivion Remastered suffers from “dire” performance problems on PC. Video producer Alex Battaglia called it “perhaps one of the worst-running games I've ever tested for Digital Foundry.”
“Even if you're running the most powerful hardware around, the stuttering is egregious, dragging down the experience to the point where I really don't understand how this was considered good enough for release,” Battaglia said.
“And beyond the hitching, we are looking at one of the most bizarrely resource-intensive games I've ever tested - so even if you're OK...
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered is set in Cyrodiil, the province in Tamriel home to the Imperial Empire. It is a fantasy setting packed with enough quests to keep even the most dedicated adventurer busy for hundreds of hours. But that hasn’t stopped some from probing the invisible barrier of its border for cracks — and even exploring the regions beyond.
Over the weekend, redditor GnoblinXD recounted their journey through Cyrodiil’s border and into Valenwood, Tamriel’s southwestern province and home to the Bosmer, or Wood Elves, and next door Elsweyr, a region featured in The Elder Scrolls Online. GnoblinXD found they were able to move through the invisible barrier set in place to prevent this sort of thing, and, from there...
Let's launch your week with a banger bargains round-up to tempt your wallet into a little impromptu workout. Whether you're after a grand new adventure, a nostalgic trip down memory lane, or simply looking to snag a hidden gem for a song, this week’s gaming sales offer plenty to smile about. Join me now as I objective mark the stand-outs across Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X, PlayStation 5, and PC.
This Day in Gaming 🎂
In retro news, I'm celebrating the delightfully different Super Mario Bros. 2, a NES great that helped raise me. Amusingly, this sequel seems to have been developed for Western audiences out of a sense of pity (it's mostly a re-skinned game called Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic). Why? Because Nintendo of America's feedback...
The weekend is officially here, and we've rounded up the best deals you can find! Discover the best deals for April 20 below:
11th Gen iPad for $299
First up, you can save $50 off the newest iPad. Powered by the A16, the newest 11th-generation iPad is an exceptional addition to any workspace. You can use this device with both Apple Pencil and Magic Keyboard Folio to make the most out of it without having to go for the iPad Air or iPad Pro.
Visions of Mana for $34.99
Visions of Mana released at the end of August, and it's available on sale for the first time this weekend. This is the first new Mana game in almost two decades, starring a cast of characters on a quest to save the world. In our 8/10 review, we stated, "Visions of Mana...
For a long time, Soulslike games – especially those created by pioneers of the genre, FromSoftware – have had an intimidating aura. While not outright hostile to the average gamer unfamiliar with their cryptic and sometimes obscure design, they’ve certainly felt unwelcoming. These games are, after all, supposed to be routinely challenging and punishing offerings […]

Vampire Survivors is a pretty popular game; it even kicked off an entire genre. Same goes for Pokémon, which also kind of birthed its own genre. So, what happens when those two genres do a fusion dance, and you get to play the result? You get Wildkeepers Rising, of course, which is an absolute blast […]

When Bethesda finally revealed Oblivion Remastered earlier this week, I could hardly believe my eyes. Somehow 2006’s trip to Tamriel, known for its weird, potato-faced characters and smeary stretches of low-res verdant grasslands, is now the best-looking Elder Scrolls game ever made. A long history of HD overhauls has conditioned me to expect underwhelming results from remasters – Mass Effect Legendary Edition and Dark Souls Remastered are barely indistinguishable from their Xbox 360 parents, for instance – and so to see the Imperial City that I explored nearly 20 years ago rendered in Unreal Engine 5 with ray tracing was momentarily unbelievable. Not only that, but the game has been enhanced with upgrades to combat, RPG systems, and a...
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is a new RPG and debut title from the French studio, Sandfall Interactive.

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered PC players ran into trouble after a surprise update launched today, but Bethesda says a fix is on the way.
Players woke up to find that Virtuos’ massive re-release received an unexpected update earlier today. With no patch notes or clear answer as to what the update addressed, most proceeded with their play sessions as normal. Others, however, quickly found that the first Oblivion Remastered update was causing more problems than it fixed
“Can't change the upscaling methods anymore,” one Reddit user pointed out. “It's set to ‘off’ and while the arrows are clickable nothing happens. So I closed the game, disabled fluid motion in the NVidia app (was testing something before the patch came) and...
Even if you enjoyed NieR: Automata and its predecessor, NieR: Replicant, you could be forgiven for not knowing that game actually got a sequel, and a pretty good one too. Unfortunately, that sequel, mobile game NieR: Re[in]carnation, hasn't been available for almost a year after being taken offline in April of 2024.
But fortunately, a Square Enix website is dropping some pretty wild in-universe hints that this might be about to change.
As pointed out to us on BlueSky by journalist Willa Rowe, an official NieR website that's currently publishing a NieR special movel to commemorate the series 15th anniversary is teasing something NieR: Re[in]carnation-related via cryptic in-text hints and webpage source code. As a part of today's...
After Marvel Rivals Support Players Went on Strike, Dev Lays Out Plans to Buff Strategist Experience
Marvel Rivals developer NetEase Games has laid out its plans to take some of the pressure off of Strategists players just days after fans launched a community-wide Support strike.
Much of Marvel Rivals Season 2 has gone over swimmingly. New characters, maps, and modes helped the hero shooter push forward as the team promises quicker seasons and even more playable heroes, but its balance changes have introduced entirely new issues. Strategists – a character class that largely functions as Marvel Rivals’ Support pool – aren’t having much fun as Vanguards and Duelists have taken power.
The decreased viability of the Support class has been the topic of discussion in the Marvel Rivals community since Season 2 launched earlier this month...
Bethesda Game Studios and Virtuos’ The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered includes the original’s infamous Dupe Item Glitch – and fans are loving it all over again 20 years later.
Since the mega-hit remaster launched for PC and consoles earlier this week, Elder Scrolls veterans have been beside themselves as they revisit iconic locations and characters from Bethesda’s classic fantasy RPG. It’s a total visual overhaul that remains so faithful to the original 2006 experience that Virtuos even thought to include some of its more memorable bugs and even a few handy glitches.
In Oblivion Remastered, players have found they’re still able to use a version of the original's Dupe Item Glitch, just the same as they did nearly 20 years ago...
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, the debut RPG from Sandfall Interactive, is already off to a strong start. The studio announced today that Expedition 33 has hit a sales milestone of 500,000 copies sold.
"A milestone for us, reached sooner than we'd ever imagined," the team said in a post on X/Twitter. "Thank you all."
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 went live yesterday, April 24, across PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X and S. It's also a day-one Game Pass game, and despite launching a few days after the shadow-drop of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered, the RPG still seems to be making waves. When Oblivion dropped, Clair Obscur's publisher Kepler Interactive even jokingly compared it to "Barbenheimer." The comparison, as it turns...

If you're looking to pick up some video game-inspired replicas or figurines while traveling, you might want to think twice about bringing anything that looks like a Call of Duty weapon in your baggage.
That's the takeaway, at least, from a recent post by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) discussing prohibited items. As spotted by Dexerto, the TSA account on Facebook highlighted a replica figurine of the Monkey Bomb from Call of Duty's Zombies mode that officers at Boston Logan International Airport found in a checked bag.
The Monkey Bomb, or Cymbal Monkey, has appeared in numerous Call of Duty games, from World at War through to Black Ops 6. This particular figurine is meant to be a controller, with its hands...
EA's highly anticipated Skate revival will require an "always on" internet connection.
In an updated FAQ on the official blog, developer Full Circle gave a "simple answer: No," adding: "The game and city are designed to be a living, breathing massively multiplayer skateboarding sandbox that is always online and always evolving. You’ll see bigger things evolve, like changes to the city over time, as well as smaller things, like live events and other in-game activities."
An "always on" requirement means games cannot be played offline, even if you avoid multiplayer modes or prefer to play alone. However, in this case, Full Circle prefers Skate to be connected to the internet "to deliver on [its] vision of a skateboarding world, the game...
Capcom has dropped a sneaky little Resident Evil 9 tease in plain sight.
In celebration of hitting a staggering 10 million players, the Resident Evil 4 dev team uploaded a short video to social media earlier today, April 25, showing Ada Wong having a quiet word with one of gaming's most iconic villains before cutting to Leon, the infected horde around him donning party hats as they mosey towards the church.
It then cuts to a rock song, Dr Salvador strumming his chainsaw like a guitar — yes, really — and the camera pans back to show a fist-pumping Leon. Behind him is a rustic sign with the words "Thank you for playing" emblazoned across it.
You can see it in full below:
Turn that sign onto its side, however, and the boards on the...
When I first saw a demo of Dune: Awakening over a year ago, I went from being skeptical that a survival game on the famously barren world of Arrakis could even work, to being absolutely hyped to get my hands on it. Now, after enduring the unforgiving conditions and hostile lifeforms of a desert planet for nearly 20 hours in the closed beta, I’m confident developer Funcom has the foundations of an absolutely stellar MMO that makes fantastic use of one of the greatest science fiction worlds ever created. Harvesting raw materials from the brutal wasteland, constructing bases, upgrading your character and loadout, and then bringing all of that to bear against raiders and rival houses is just about as good as I’d hoped for. That said, I...
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered has become something of a lightning rod for the ongoing debate around Nintendo’s pricing for the Switch 2 and its games, with some fans saying the company behind Mario could learn a thing or two about video game pricing from Bethesda.
Oblivion Remastered, developed by remake specialist Virtuos using Unreal Engine 5, has a long list of visual and feature improvements. It runs at 4K resolution and 60 frames per second, as you'd expect, but other changes are more meaningful. Everything from the leveling systems to character creation and combat animations to in-game menus have been improved. Meanwhile, there's lots of new dialogue, a proper third-person view, and new lip sync technology. The...
Hideo Kojima has revealed he cast Margaret Qualley for the role of Death Stranding's Mama after seeing her in a Spike Jonez fragrance advertisement.
Sharing the viral commercial in a tweet earlier today, April 25, Kojima wrote: "I saw this and offered her the role of Mama (Lockne) in Death Stranding."
The advert shows Qualley dancing to a bassy dance track, much like Fat Boy Slim's viral video for Weapon of Choice, which starred a twinkled-toed Christopher Walken.
Qualley plays Bridges member Mama — Målingen — in Kojima Productions' Death Stranding, one of the greatest, gadget-inventing scientists working in the United Cities of America. With her twin sister, Lockne, also played by Qualley, she also created the Chiral Network...
Let’s just say it: Border Pioneer is an absolute joy to play. It’s a town-building strategy game with a dash of deckbuilding, but not in a hardcore way, just enough to keep things interesting. Everything is wrapped in a wonderfully chill art style, and while it includes some real-time strategy elements, it’s not a fast-paced, […]
