The upcoming Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion remake, reportedly developed by Virtuos and powered by Unreal Engine 5, is set to feature significant graphical and gameplay overhauls, making it a full-fledged reimagining rather than a simple remaster.

The idea of remaking Oblivion is crazy.

Isn't what everyone loves about this game the weird dialogue and presentation style? Hard to imagine how they remake this game and make everyone happy with the final result.

It will end up just like the RE2 Remake and Silent Hill 2 Remake. The new people who never played the original will love it, but fans of the original will either hate it or be mixed on it. But publishers literally do not care about existing customers, so they won't care what existing fans have to say on it as long as the new people buy it. Reviewers will overrate the remakes because the original was so highly regarded. Same story as most remakes, really.

I loved the RE2 Remake, but indeed didn't play the original. I did play the original RE4 though and the remake absolutely nailed it

The original Resident Evil 4 was, I believe, the first to change up the format from the fixed camera, among other things it shook up. RE4 and RE4R are very similar games, while the remakes of RE2 and RE3 are pretty different from their originals.
