How has remastered" version.

It's obvious that the "new" Oblivion looks better from a strictly technical perspective. It's been almost 20 years since the release of the fourth installment of The Elder Scrolls series, and despite the "remaster" in the title, the refresh of Oblivion has more in common with a remake.

Of course, this didn't prevent players from comparing the visual design of both iterations of TES 4: Oblivion. In the material posted below, a player compared various elements of both games: from the level of environmental details, models, and vegetation, through the range of the field of view and the "geometry" of locations, to textures and animations. Other fans compared the old and new opening animation, and also the sound design of both titles.

Of course, as is usually the case, people are complaining about the "remaster" and claiming that the original looks "better." Nonetheless, they seem to be in the minority, as many players are thrilled with Oblivion Remastered. Occasionally, there are complaints about the "less colorful" graphics, yet this "realistic" change also has its ers. Besides, most fans believe that Oblivion Remastered has retained the atmosphere of the original, which is probably the most important thing.

Technical issues are a separate matter that players point out. However, Buggerfall. As a result, these complaints didn't lead to "review bombing."
