The Outerhaven says: The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered looks fantastic, but that doesn’t make it a remake. Here's why the distinction matters for gamers and developers.
Bethesda Game Studios: "Thanks for all your excitement and feedback since the launch of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered! We are actively working on two separate updates to be launched in the coming weeks, both of which will come to our Steam Beta first, before being released to all other platforms.
The first update will be focused on quests, major bugs and blockers, and quality of life fixes. This update will enter the Steam Beta tomorrow on June 5th, and will be available on all platforms on June 11th. Our second update will focus on performance, and we will share more details when we are able."
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.

Didn´t known that Todd Howard left Bethesda. Besides, bring actual proof that the devs behind Oblivion left, because I think you´re on some lying bullsh!t here. I´ll wait.
Would Bethesda still be the same without Creation Engine? I play Bethesda games for their “charm” no need to make them use the same tools as everyone else. You’re right though, they’re on fire atm. Hopefully they deliver another classic with ES6
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.
It's definitely closer to a remake as well and for only $50 when they definitely could've charged $70 and still sell very well because of the name. Good on bethesda.
Imagine what RDR2 remaster would do. If the rumors are true about Red Dead and GTA4 remake just buy Take 2 stock now
I love how everyone says Bethesda is back. No. The company that made this game has proven they are AAA status when it comes to remaking games. They deserve 90% of the credit.
Though I’ll give Bethesda credit for allowing it to happen.
I do WISH they had t dropped it at the same f time as Clair Obscura, literally the best new IP in years.
Oblivion has been given new life thinks to the Virtuos-led remaster. Is it worth picking up?
Just like how, RE2 was/is regarded as a Remake benchmark (FF7 is a more ambitious project) and later that became SH2 ... Oblivion should be the new Remaster benchmark (although Nightdive's multitude of Remaster efforts should also be commendable) ... previously held by CoD4 Remaster and recently Dead Rising Remaster
Other notable mentions : Remasters : Halo and Gears Anniversaries, Tomb Raiders, MediEvil etc
Remakes : Mafia 1, Demon Souls, Dead Space, Ninja Gaiden 2, Persona 3 Reload, Spyro Reignited etc
Why does the naming matter at all? Let's all just be glad its a better version of oblivion than what initially released all those years ago. Getting caught up in a moniker is not the hill anyone should die on.
It’s not a full remake but it’s plenty good enough. I just hope for a physical copy!
It's more of a remake than a lot of games that are actually labelled a remake
It's the cheapest possible touch up job by a lot of people that struggled using the engine. It still needs a lot of work.
