Fans claim that the remaster of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion is extremely faithful to the original

The excitement among video game fans has reached a new level with the official announcement of the remaster of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, made by Bethesda and Virtuos. This highly anticipated return, which had initially been seen as a rumor in the community, promises to combine significant graphical improvements with the endearing essence of the classic released in 2006.

Exploits are still the same

The remaster uses the powerful Unreal Engine 5 to enhance the graphics, while its original coding remains anchored in the Gamebryo engine, which represents an interesting duality. This fusion allows developers to present a visually appealing experience while preserving the iconic glitches and bugs that have made players laugh for years. Many of these errors, which do not interfere with game progress, have been exploited by the community to perform speedruns using previously known exploits.

The response from fans has been overwhelmingly positive, with users on social media sharing anecdotes and funny situations encountered during the game. The essence of Oblivion remains intact, which has brought joy to players who appreciated the hilarious moments of the original; a user on Reddit commented: “It’s exactly the same!” while sharing a video of a flying crab.

However, some critics argue that the remaster represents a missed opportunity to create a remake that would have improved fundamental aspects of gameplay, such as the combat system or certain challenges. Nevertheless, many believe that Bethesda and Virtuos have made a wise choice by focusing on the nostalgia of the original game, validating the argument that the experience of Oblivion remains unique and worthy of celebration.
