Bethesda's remaster of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion has quickly gained popularity, topping Steam charts with over 120,000 concurrent players. Released on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC, the upgrade introduces modern graphics, improved gameplay elements, and even DLC like 4K horse armor for $10. Despite some initial optimization issues, reviews have been largely positive. Players appreciate the significant transformation of the game, noting it as a 'golden standard' for remasters, while designer Bruce Nesmith suggests the extent of changes surpasses conventional remastering definitions.
"Golden standard for what a remaster should be," wrote one user. "More or less rebuilt from the ground up as if it's a new game based off the standards we expect today..."
"It's a staggering amount of remastering," original lead gameplay designer Bruce Nesmith . "It almost needs its own word, quite frankly. I'm not sure remaster actually does it justice."
