Oh man, where to start with this whole Oblivion remastered thing? Okay, so it’s back, buzzing with some new-fangled spark on PC and console, like, what, 17 years later? Nuts, right? Literally just dropped, and VR enthusiasts? Yeah, they’re already poking around under the hood like mechanics on a caffeine high.
So, Bethesda’s given the game a fresh coat of Unreal Engine 5 paint. Think of it like slapping a brand-new engine in an old Mustang. The textures, characters, lighting—all jazzed up. And now with Praydog’s UEVR plugin, it’s like they’re handing out keys to modders saying, “Go wild, kids.”
UEVR—it’s packing features like motion controller support, full 3D—you name it. But, and there’s always a but, there’s fiddling to do if you want stuff running smoothly. Like, LunchAndVR on YouTube, they’re knee-deep in dungeons tweaking things, fighting rats and zombies—classic, right?
Oh! There’s a vid too. Shows early VR tests. Our YouTuber friend is facing crashes with motion controls—so yeah, patience, folks. Despite the hiccups, the visuals indoors? Chef’s kiss. Outdoors? Meh, not as smooth.
Heads up: if you’re thinking of diving in, you’ll need some serious hardware muscle. This ain’t a game for your grandma’s PC. Medium settings, DLSS, Quest 3 with Virtual Desktop—lunatic-grade stuff. And LunchAndVR’s rig? An Nvidia RTX 4090 and Intel Core i9-13900. Basically, a tech geek’s dream.
So, wanna try Oblivion in VR? Grab Praydog’s mod, maybe some shared test profiles. LunchAndVR’s got a couple that might make your life easier. Oh, and make sure you’ve got the remastered version—Steam or Xbox PC Game Pass works.
And there you have it—chaos, shiny new graphics, and VR dreams. Oblivion, reimagined.
