Oblivion Remastered has been out since April and it is has been a great success. The game peaked at over 200,000 players on Steam and it also has been very active on both Xbox and Playstation platforms. It is clear that Bethesda Softworks has struck gold with Oblivion Remastered and it is revived interest in the game.
The success of the game should be a sign that similar titles such Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon, have an audience. That game is coming out in May and I expect that Oblivion Remastered will have an ability to share some of its success with that game. I think that Arthurian Dark Fantasy should be a great innovation on the stories. Tainted Grail will expand upon what RPGs are capable of showing in the visual art style.
Oblivion Remastered for people who haven’t played RPGs before is a treat. Many gamers who complain about Oblivion’s combat or leveling systems. However, they have to remember, many people have been born since 2006. Many people have gotten into gaming since 2006 also. Oblivion has gotten people interested in RPGs in a way that Skyrim did also.
I think that this is great for the industry.
The industry was in a state of stagnation for many years.
However, it seems that some energy is coming back to it.
All thanks to a revival of an old game.
When playing Oblivion Remastered, remember how it brought energy back to the gamers.
