    FYI: It seems the "odd repeating dips (in FPS)" I describe at 25:00 are not generated by the game or by the console. Looks like they are an artefact generated by my Elgato capture card.

      Beat it on both 360 and PS3 myself. If I had the patience (and free time) to do a modded playthrough on PC I would do it but I got burned out a few years ago setting up a lot of mods for it and it running like crap. I really hope we get a remaster.

      I agree. To be fair i think most 360 games had similar performance issues back then, so we were used to it. I know Skyrim on 360 is similar but i played hours of that and don't ever remember thinking it was performing poorly!

    So much nostalgia in one video. Not just the game either. Theres something about stumbling on a video i didnt search for, about a guy who isnt following a trend or click baiting for views, whos just making a video he wanted to make because its something he cares about. No over the top flashy intros, no list of social media links telling us to follow all of them or giveaways and no ad reads. Just a well spoken man showing us interesting technical facts about a game we all love. My man, you made a better video than you think.

    I miss old Bethesda, come to think of it I miss gaming the way it was back then, Starfield was a massive disappointment for me and I just don't trust Bethesda to deliver anymore for ES6, such a shame.

      I agree. I've spent so much time with Bethesda games over the years. Starfield was *too* different for me, though i will go back to it some time. But the good news is with this back compat program (or a good PC) they are very accessible still... and there is so much content in those games... and mods!

      Considering most of the people who made those games have left the company, its no surprise they make games differently. BGS is in the same place as Obsidian when it comes to fans asking for NewVegas2. Most of the OG's that made that game are gone. Just like most of the OG's that made TESIII, TESIV and TESV are gone.

    Oblivion was the game that really got me into rpgs. My roommate at the time was playing it. I got sucked in watching him. Then i started my own run. Next thing i know I'm buying an Xbox 360 bundle online lol. I remember it let me choose 3 games so i got oblivion, fallout 3, and wolverine origins. Crazy thing was this was the same year Skyrim released so i went from knowing nothing about the games to playing fallout 3, oblivion, and Skyrim in the same year. I want to say new Vegas came out that year as well. That was my first dive back into gaming after many years of not really playing so it was all amazing reintroduction for me lol

      NB: Bethesda has not confirmed the remaster for Oblivion. That doc i showed was from 2020, before Bethesda was bought by Microsoft. It is quite possible MS cancelled it. Bethesda said they'd have a next-gen console patch for Fallout 4 by the end of 2023 but that's been delayed until this year. My guess is, if there's an Oblivion Remaster, it will be announced after the Fallout 4 next-gen patch drops. Cheers!

    I bought the collector's edition of Oblivion when it came out. It was simple and came with a map, the pocket guide to the empire, and an Imperial Septum - a coin. I still have all of it. The Imperial Septum has been sitting on my desk since the day I got it. It looks old and worn now, like a coin should as I stare at it in my hand now. :)
    I enjoyed Oblivion, but it was a let down from Morrowind which is peak beth in my book. Still fun though, especially after the total overhaul mods came out.

    Loved Oblivion, played it on PC mostly but I happen to still have a working XBox 360, an XBox One, an XBox Series X and at least one PC whose specs are (mostly) on par with yours so your video was a lot of fun to watch. Great job! First time seeing your channel, liked, subbed. Cheers!

    Just wanted to say, I enjoyed this clip! Oblivion 360 and PC. Played 100’s of hrs on both systems. Never finished the game… lol
    Didn’t know you are just the grunt in the background helping the saviour hahaha! Man I was young though when it came out. Still one of my favourites. F3 right nxt to it. Couldn’t put one down without playing the other! You gained a sub. Well edited content thank you.

  • @karner1541

    Very interesting video, but at the end you also could have put a video of oblivion with enb and distant LOD, so that we could have seen the absoluty peak that is possible with oblivion :)

    • @ramnexus
      @ramnexus  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I did think about it 😁 I collected some footage of my modded Oblivion setup (though this one does not have ENB) which would have visually blown all other footage out of the water... but that wasn't the point of the video so I left it. Cheers!

  • @nategg481
    @nategg481 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I love content like this - subbed.
    With regards to loading times, I would have liked to to see an external SSD or HD comparison thrown into the mix; as I remember the Ascent and Prey 2017 having *really* long load times on the Xbox One, but with the external SSD it was nowhere near as bad (as noted in Digital Foundry) as using the internal HD.

    • @ramnexus
      @ramnexus  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Good point. I did think about that. I do use an external SSD for some Xbox games (not Oblivion!). I also have a platter HDD in my PC for backups, so i could have gone to town! It was just down to time and getting the video done!

    It really does feel better. Now I can play it on the series x with quick resume and next to no load times. Thanks for making a positive video about a game I’m re living. By the way could someone enlighten me on the leveling trick where you pick the wrong main skills to control leveling? I don’t understand how to for sure get +5 in my play style.

  • @Sheikah_Architect

    I was just watching a review of a Star Wars Bounty Hunter game and your accent is similar to the actor of Jango Fett so it was cool to hear haha

    • @ramnexus
      @ramnexus  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Ah yes. The actor who played Jango in Attack of the Clones (and Boba in the Boba Fett TV show) is an New Zealander and I'm an Aussie. Sounds similar, though I imagine he sounds a lot more menacing than me! :)

  • @waxedearth5425
    @waxedearth5425 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Hearing that first musical score took me back. My first play through of this game was nothing short of a magical experience for me. I also recall the XBOX360 version had HDR lighting.

    • @ramnexus
      @ramnexus  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I know the PC version has HDR as an option. But if it is on the Xbox version then it’s always on as there’s no toggle option.
      it’s not the HDR as we know it today on modern TVs and monitors though. Same name but different effect: it was a way of mimicking what our eyes do when we move from dark to light areas, slowly adjusting.
      Cheers!

  • @nimbylive

    Appreciate the video. I have a Series S and I keep more old games on it than new. This is one of those games that is still fun after all of these years with a system that can finally keep up (with a 17 year old game..).

    • @ramnexus
      @ramnexus  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Same. My Series S has mainly older back-compat games on it. I was quite impressed with the performance of the Series S, and a bit disappointed with the Series X tbh.

    Very quality video for such a small channel. Pretty much Digital Foundry quality. I just put my old 360 disc into my Series X and enjoyed the game. I have it on PC as well both physically and on Steam but there is something about playing on console that feels more relaxing. Also it looks great on my OLED TV. I’m glad we have this enhanced version on Series consoles.

    • @ramnexus
      @ramnexus  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    • @ramnexus
      @ramnexus  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      You're welcome. I've been using a mod for Oblivion on PC (NorthernUI) which provides Xbox controller support. Can also (optionally) make the game's interface look more like Skyrim's. Controller support is not perfect but its there. Ironically, if playing on Steam you need to turn Steam controller support off for it to work :)

    Fallout 3 looks amazing on the Steam Deck, those old Bethesda games have a ton of detail when you have the hardware to push them. Fallout 3 was the first game I wanted to play in 4K when I got my first 4K monitor years ago.

    @ImperialDiecast 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    30:03 i think on your pc you forgot to turn on HDR lighting. which does not work together with anti aliasing, so its either or, and you probably made sure to turn on AA (although its not needed for 4k) so HDR was switched off. If HDR was switched on, the PC footage would have looked just as nicely lit and colourful as the console footage to its left.

    • @ramnexus
      @ramnexus  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Yes, you're right. I have footage of me setting it up on PC. HDR was off as I had it in 8xAA ... and of course playing it at native 4K on a 4K monitor kinda negates the need for that. I know you can enable AA via the nvidia console instead and keep HDR on but i left the console alone as I wanted it as 'vanilla' as possible. Thanks. Lesson learned.

    • @cryohellinc
      @cryohellinc 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      ​@ramnexus I think there are so many great old titles for you to explore - from Bethesda, morrowind and new Vegas
      Legacy of kain series
      Gothic 1,2
      Neverwinter series
      Deus ex
      Baldurs Gate
      Turok
      Quake and Doom
      Generally there are a lot of old school titles.
      What are you interested in yourself? Consoles only or PC as well?

    • @ramnexus
      @ramnexus  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I think one thing I can bring to YT is the analysis tools… and I spend a lot of time doing background research on the game. So you got me thinking of NWN 1 & 2 and how they were received and improved over time. I played them a bunch.
      Both consoles and PC. If the game is on both then a comparison may make for a more interesting story.
      Thanks for the suggestions. Cheers!
