Gameloft on successfully modernizing The Oregon Trail | Spotlight | Unreal Engine

The original The Oregon Trail is a pivotal classic. For numerous generations, it has been a fixture in schools, serving as an iconic educational game. The franchise’s long-running roots carry on strong decades later, with Gameloft Brisbane carrying the mantle with the popular and critically-praised 2021 mobile release of the same name.

But how does one modernize and keep a game engaging after roughly 40 years? Gameloft Brisbane believes that staying authentic, giving the player choice, and making it as replayable as possible are key—and with the suite of Unreal Engine's tools and coupled with their in-house talent, the team was able to successfully achieve their goals.

It's kind of funny math to say they used textures to make the characters in the front to shine and the background to stay in the back when what they did seems to just use DOF... The characters are too pixelated compared to the environment which make everything looking a bit weird.. But I will still play this for the sake of nostalgia..

what a weird mismash of graphics styles...

[david_escalante]

It looked great then it looked horrible, that pixelated art seems more like a gimmick than an actual design purpose for the game, it doesn't even blend well, the pixelated art stands too much

[pinetreeYT]

pay to win, micro transactions etc etc nothing new here, same crap
