Oblivion Remastered is fucking awesome though. Blown away it manages to maintain what makes it fun, quirky, and bad and add new fun, quirky, and bad aspects to itself. It has genuinely been a blast to the past as someone who is now an adult that started playing Elder Scrolls as a teen.
I would love to see Morrowind next. Hate all you want Bethesda absolutely picked the perfect Elder Scrolls game to remaster.
So we can expect 5 fallout 3 remasters around 2040
The remake trend has been going on for a minuet now and a lot of once great game companies are now just stagnate. Blizzard is another one that comes to mind. If you want new and better games I think you need to start supporting indie games and projects like Godot that make indie game development possible.
I don’t get the hate. If a game is fun to play, then I’d much rather have the option of playing it with better graphics. People ITT are acting like the existence of remasters prevents new games from being made, which I don’t believe is actually the case. The bulk of the work on Oblivion Remastered wasn’t even done by Bethesda developers, but by an external company that specialises in art production.
I wish they’d do a proper remaster of Might & Magic VI in a modern game engine.
Meanwhile, for those of us who want a new game to play…
This is why AAA sucks. I haven’t been excited about a game release in fucking years. It’s just the same shit they already released over and over again. They “announced” ES VI over 6 years ago. Not a word since then. Which means at least another 2-3 years minimum.
