Calling This Remastered Is An Insult

[nkbojan]

After playing little bit of Avowed, when you enter ruins in Avowed, you have a feeling of scale. When you enter Ayleid ruins in Oblivion, it is just another dungeon.

That being said, when Oblivion came to being, team at Bethesda was very small. Only one guy was doing dungeons and Ayleid ruins.


So, in a essence, calling this a REMASTERED game is an insult to a people who actually are remastering the games.



BOOOO on Todd!

How funny would it be if absolutely noone gave you any clown awards?

Please explain how "Avowed good" and "Bethesda was small" related to "The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered is bad"?

How stupid! They're two different games even though they share the same genre.
Play Oblivion on its highest difficulty since you're so brave, and then tell me about it. But a word of advice: think carefully about your character, their attributes, and each step you're going to take.

I don't know what you are on about, 'remastered' means taking an old game and giving it a facelift while not changing much.

That being said you are comparing a 2025 game to a 2006 game where hardware was more than 4x restrictive. 8GB RAM was for rich* people....

If this was a reboot or a remake, THEN you'd have a more valid complaint but it is not. I'm not sure why you are comparing a 2025 game to a 2006 game that only had a facelift....

It's a remaster not a remake cool your jets bud.

[Moonwitch]

So people went from if they change too much then it isn't a faithful remaster of our beloved game to everything is literally the same, why didn't they make it like this game or that game.

Love it when haters try to poorly compare a 2006 game to a 2025 game.

Found an Obsidian dev's Steam account.

Avowed sucked. Move on.

Yet another person that doesn't know the difference between a remake and a remaster. This is a remaster, not a remake. Go ahead and use that thing called the internet to figure out what the difference is when you get a chance.

Is Avowed that game with punk neon colored humanoids?
I do not appreciate neon punk in medieval fantasy settings. (it is fine in Cyberpunk though)

Remastered = only graphic changes, small qol no mechanics or little mechanics touched, map remain the same.

In 2006 this was big enough. It might not be for the 2025, but it's not a REMAKE where they redone the content, as REMASTER the content is the same as OG.

So you just venting over something that you failed to interpret correctly because you think a remaster is a remake.

I thought it was a remake for a while since when the screenshots were first shown, the comparisons didn't quite match up to its original. Only when they did their reveal stream and stated they used GameBryo for the scripting and logic foundation, then the Unreal Engine 5 graphical wrapper on top did I reassess that it is in fact a remaster.

If only others could do the same and apply that level of thinking.

When you remaster a classic album, you don't start modifying songs or verses into something they never were. Same thing for a game. You clear up the pops and cracks, double up thin tracks, stuff like that, you don't rewrite it, that would be a reMAKE.

Oblivion Remastered, blurs a lot the dividing lines between a remaster and a remake.

Don't ask them to explain. It just encourages them to keep ranting like frothing loons. Just nod and smile, and say "Yes, dear." Hopefully they'll get bored and move on with their sad lives.
