Like a Mythic Dawn cultist popping out of a secret room to stab the Emperor in the back, a remaster of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion has shown up out of nowhere, and it’s a dagger I’ve gladly thrown myself onto for over 80 hours (and counting) in less than a week. This Unreal-tinted glasses nostalgia trip modestly modernizes one of my all-time favorite open-world RPGs and had me teaming up with Sean Bean to close shut the jaws of Oblivion, helping the God of Madness with his, um, complicated mental health issues, rising to the top of every faction like I was angling to become Cyrodiil’s Valedictorian, and violating every single person’s personal space by getting way too close to them while talking.
Bethesda has executed the launch of Oblivion Remastered masterfully, said analyst firm Newzoo, delivering outstanding revenue performance.
Bethesda is better than ever under Xbox.
Here´s hoping they will transition from Creation Engine to UE5 or UE6 for TES VI and Fallout 5 the same way they did with Oblivion Remastered
Better than ever? They've released an average game in Starfield and an absolute disaster in Redfall. Now don't get me wrong I love Oblivion but "under Xbox"? they've prettied up a game the actual talent created 20 years old and have since left. Stellar new experiences remain to be seen for that better than ever tag.
Also the Skyblivion team invited to Bethesda Studios, now that is a dev I can respect.

Unlike some other studios who are pieces of shit along with Nintendo.
Oblivion has been given new life thinks to the Virtuos-led remaster. Is it worth picking up?
A modder unhappy with how the first-person camera view was implemented in Oblivion Remastered decided to make a better one (with a few bugs).
This is the score I would give it too. A few QoL improvements and some much needed combat enhancements particularly for the camera allow it to be appreciated in the modern era. However the performance issues persist even on performance mode.
Are we just going to admit that bugs are a gameplay feature required for all Bethesda games, and therefore they won't get docked points for it?
As for someone who played the original at launch, this is a safe faithful remaster. Some new bugs here and there but the core is still there just has a face lift and other nice little extra details. I wish they could have released the game with better performance on PS5, it chugs even on performance mode. And also fix the goofy looking sprint.
