how many indians did bethesda need to hire to port oblivion to ue5? should be trivial

There's no reason they couldn't do a UE5 wrapper hackjob like they did with oblivion. A proper remaster in a new engine is likely beyond their abilities though.

They couldn't even port Starfield to PS5 without it crashing every few minutes and being buggy as hell

He looked at starfield.

The modified version of gamebryo that Bethesda used for Fallout3/Fallout:NV is a rancid turd. Rather than Remastering a game in a fundamentally half-broken shit engine, they should remake it from the ground up.

Good, remasters just split the modding scene

Say what you want for starfield but the engine is actually good enough that people are making dlc sized expansions for it. https://youtu.be/p68sVFAVThM?si=xC6ILsebGSQTR7wj

they can just remake it lol, cant be that hard to remake a 2010 game like that the games map isnt even that big, most of the interiors are just caves with 4 fucking geckos in them lmao
>>
>>737528323
That is because Feargus Didn't gave a copy of the Source code to Bethesda
Plus Bethesda is pretty much giving tech support for the Fo3 Remake in Fo4
If there is one to blame is Feargus
>>
>>737529443
Yes, that's what they used.
>>
>>737528323
Modders have already done it, or at least they recreated the map

In order to make or even alter a game engine you need to know C++ and 95% of programmers don't have proficiency with C++. It requires extensive knowledge about memory and low level functionality to start off with. You can learn it, but it is incredibly hard and not rewarding. C++ and a lot of mathematics was required back in the day to even get your bachelor. Since like +15 years ago, the whole degree changed to managing people and projects, instead of math or indepth knowledge. Hell, in the current CS degrees you don't even learn programming anymore. It's just sorting out people on whenever they can think logically or helping them develop that skill. Scripting languages, C# and Java is what mostly dominates the market since then because they're very easy to use and very quick to prototype with, so nobody ever learns C++ anymore. But for game engines you need low level software and knowledge which can only be written with C++ (or Rust now), and these types of people are few and these few get paid a lot in companies. We have like ~700 programmers, but only 4 people of those are proficient in C++ and get paid so much that they literally show up in beach wear because they know nobody will fire them. Meanwhile, the code for the game itself can be manipulated and done by people using scripting languages (which will either be run in realtime or compiled) or something far easier like C#, so basically any graduate can be used for this.

Todd and co will be extra testy after Chris just mogged them with their autistic slideshows. A level of shamefur dispray that will warrant nothing more than a blood price at this point.

Didn't encounter any big bugs in New Vegas, maybe you're a broken mess
>>
>>737528323
Wtf? How wouldn't they? Obshitian just used the code from fallout 3. What a ridiculous thing to say for this lolcow.
>>
>>737528854
So it was faithful to the original?
>>
>>737530634
Bethesda already had the source code. How do you think obshitian got it?
>>
>>737528323
>bethesda doesn't have the source code to new vegas
It's the same iteration of gamebryo that F3 used

>>737528323
Look at Oblivion Remaster, he's right.

I hope that next game Avellone is working on is good

Bethesda should just remove the original NV and release a shoddy remaster just to spite Obsidiots.

Never put in on sale either like Starfield and retcon some stuff and replace it with the TV show lore.

Even if they were capable, it would be rancid shit inspired by the TV show with a raped art style like Oblivion Remaster.

He doesn't, he's still seething about a programmer at Bethesda telling him to stay in his own lane and not talk to the journos about shit he doesn't know about.

Keep in mind, F4NV is just assets repurposed from Fallout 4.

>>737528323
Obsidian lacks the technical skills to make a game that sells lamo

Let's be real here, it doesn't take an expert to guess after playing Shartfield.

>>737528731
Im pretty sure its personal at this point, Avellone seems to really dislike Bethesda for what they did back in the day and Bethesda probably has zero interest in remastering a game made by someone they dont like.
>>
>>737529051
SHARTfield alone shows how embarrassingly bad they are compared to FO4. Say what you will about FO4, I think it's a shit game, but it ran well outside of the big city for the most part and didn't look that bad for its time, horrendous artstyle aside. Starfield not only looks horrible and bland, but runs like shit despite all the maps being empty and the AI is one of the worst I've ever seen in an FPS. I can't imagine people paying money for it, I played it for free on the games pass and felt ripped off.

Bethesda didn't do shit to them, and they aren't the ones that decides on what gets remastered. Zenimax are the one who decides all of that.

>>737529051
The Starfield loading screens were technically inspired by New Vegas' three part strip.

He had to be *told* by the simp on that podcast about the UE5 wrapper in the first place, right after this quote in the OP.
