Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion was a dramatic success, and the new remastered version has managed to improve on this classic using the Unreal Engine. Tim Lindsey worked on the original version, and shares his insights into it and UE5.​

​The New - discussing Unreal 5's renderer and how impressive the upgrade effort from Virtuos and Bethesda is considering what we gave them as source.

​The Old - Oblivion still feels like Oblivion because the backend is still entirely Gamebryo.

​The Ugly - 3 years, often 6 days a week, and mandatory 10 hour days for 6 months."
