The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion remaster from Bethesda Game Studios and Virtuos Studios, which came out like a bolt from the blue yesterday, impressed not only Steam users, but also the developer of the original game.

Former Bethesda Game Studios design director and Oblivion quest designer Bruce Nesmith admitted in an interview with VideoGamer that The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered exceeded his expectations.
Nesmith says he heard about Bethesda’s plans for an Oblivion remaster a week before release and assumed “it would be a texture update, not the total overhaul they announced.”
The remaster is based on Unreal Engine 5, while the original Gamebryo engine is responsible for gameplay and physics.

How exactly to categorize the new version, Nesmith isn’t sure. It’s more than a remaster, but not quite a remake: “The closest I can come up with would be Oblivion 2.0.”
«”First of all, I feel proud. A game I worked on can still be interesting 20 years after its release. Very few people in our industry can say they were a part of something like that,” Nesmith noted.
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered was released on April 22 on PC (Steam, Microsoft Store), PS5, Xbox Series X and S, and Game Pass. On Steam, the remaster has reached 182,000 concurrent players and is receiving “very positive” reviews.
