Oblivion Remastered Options

Does anyone know anything about this?

I haven't got time atm to read about OB remastered. Wonder which platforms the remaster is on?

And the greatest question of all for some of us: Does this mean the game uses more than one core, no tricks?

I got some time with the game this morning and in classic Khajiit fashion, I didn’t even get out of the character creator, lol. Some notes:

1. The potato faces are definitely gone. They seem to have taken some inspiration from Skyrim for most races, which will probably be controversial for hardcore Oblivion purists. I am overall happy with the changes, but I will say that it will take a lot of work for me to make a Dunmer female that I’m happy with.
2. Men can have real beards now!! Praise Azura!
3. The character creator works almost exactly like it did in classic Oblivion. Biggest difference is the skin tone and hair color options. These are now options you pick from large palettes instead of sliders. Hair colors have an option for the base or “root” color and for “tips” color, with extra sliders that let you determine which is more dominant. Skin tones are much more simplified and the jankiness has been eliminated. I’m very grateful for this as I was always frustrated by the skin tone sliders of classic Oblivion.
4. They’ve added something called “Origin” to the race selection screen. For instance, as an Imperial you can select either Nibenese or Colovian, while Dunmer can choose to hail from either mainland Morrowind or Vvardenfell. I’m not sure how or if these choices affect anything gameplay wise, because it certainly doesn’t seem to affect anything cosmetic.
