Modder ‘Arthas’ has released a new 8K Texture Pack for The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion that overhauls the game’s sewers. This pack is 760MB in size, and you can also find below a video that showcases its new highly detailed textures.
Going into more details, this pack has 13 diffuse maps and 13 alpha normal maps. In order to create these textures, Arthas used Gigapixel AI and Adobe Photoshop. In other words, the modder has upscaled the original textures, which means that these new textures retain the art style of their original versions.
From what I know, this is the first 8K Texture Pack for Oblivion. Since it only covers the game’s sewers, you’ll most likely be able to use it alongside this other AI-enhanced HD Texture Pack.
Speaking of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, we also suggest taking a look at these two other mods. The first one is called Prism of Hammerfell and is a new standalone fan expansion. The second mod we recommend downloading is Shroud Over Stalrous Manor. Shroud Over Stalrous Manor is a quest mod, spanning 9 chapters of “dark mystique, mystery and psychogenic horror.”
Have fun!

Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.

Pixelated 1080p video for showcasing 8K texture pack.
Genius.
YouTube uses a pretty low bitrate for 1080p, and it’s worse for smaller channels that are only allowed the H.264 codec (which is over 20 years old). Videos with a lot of detail tend to cause lots of compression artifacting when there’s movement/motion of any kind at low bitrates like that, and a game like Oblivion that uses MSAA is going to preserve all of the extra detail in the textures far better than a modern game with TAA (which will significantly blur out detail). Old games like Oblivion, or newer games with TAA turned off (especially with extra sharpening), can actually look absolutely horrible on YouTube unless you add a blur filter to the recording before uploading.
How do you American say again?
“You can’t polish a turd” or something like that.?
They’ll pre-order one though. Then they’ll modify it to have unlocked frame and KB+M prompts. Then they’ll praise the studio (bxtthole that schat out the turd) for allowing them to fix the Turd they paid top dollar for and tell you for it’s Turd Of The Year. Them whattya know, the Turd will actually will game of the year. Then any game within that genre they’ll go on to calling it Turd-Like.
It was ‘You can’t polish a turd’ until MythBusters proved otherwise, then it became ‘You can polish a turd, but it’s still a turd.’
where is the dude to say that the game still looks old?
Stop right there criminal scum!!
