Bethesda fans want to get remakes of their favorite titles following the success of Oblivion Remaster.

The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remaster has been a complete success for Bethesda, as it brings back nostalgia with spicy modern visuals. Fans are more than blown away by the hard work that has gone into the title, and wish the same for other Bethesda hits.

Many game development companies have taken on this assignment, with some hits and misses. But from the looks of it, it is safe to Bethesda probably got the formula written down, which might help in the long run. For how long? It’s unknown. But fans are asking for more, and that can be said for sure.

Bethesda has many successful releases over the years, including the Fallout and The Elder Scrolls franchises. The reputation that these RPG titles hold led to the success of many projects from their respective franchises. Look at how the Fallout web series turned into a huge success over the weeks! Want a recent example? The success of Oblivion Remaster.

There are alleged reports that Fallout 3 Remaster is also in the works from Bethesda. Whis leak came around the time when Oblivion Remaster was said to be under development, it is more likely to be true. The latter was actually shadow-dropped without much prior information. As for other Bethesda-made games, there is no news. Thus, fans are requesting the revival of those projects.

Well, fans are rightfully being a bit greedy, hence the demand is there. Everyone wants to enjoy remakes of all Fallout titles, including New Vegas. As for The Elder Scrolls, fans would be happy to get their hands on Daggerfall and Morrowind.

A bit too much to ask, eh? Well, it’s understandable if Bethesda thinks that way, as it takes a long time to create each game. Moreover, the company is mainly busy with the creation of The Elder Scrolls 6. It’s likely that Bethesda won’t be touching remasters anytime soon after the release of Fallout 3 Remaster.

Though it wasn’t Bethesda that completely made the development of Oblivion Remaster possible. It was a joint project of both Bethesda Game Studios and Virtuos. By teaming up with third-party studios, it might be possible to make other remakes quickly.

Do so many remakes make sense in the long run?

While fans surely have their demands, it is not really viable, at least for now. If Bethesda starts making remakes after remakes with nothing to show for The Elder Scrolls 6, most of the fandom would be really unhappy. Many will even tag the development studio as a remake-making studio.

A similar story is going on with Capcom as well, as they are not releasing many original projects. Rather, they’re making remakes of their older titles. Fans still await news on Devil May Cry 6, Resident Evil 9, or maybe a new IP that hasn’t been seen before.

Dragon’s Dogma 2 wasn’t really the breakout hit they expected it to be, and MH Wilds, although heavily successful, is still plagued with performance issues.

Doing something similar will just hamper Bethesda’s reputation. It isn’t like they have the greatest of reputations already, so it’s just not worth the risk. But at the same time, the success of Oblivion Remaster tells a different story. If the developers keep the same amount of work for a couple of other remakes, it might be possible to get good revenue.

However, game prices will see an increase soon, so they’d have to increase the prices of the remakes as well; this $50 luxury won’t be permanent. Will players still buy the games? That is something that cannot be said for sure. So even though there is demand, a lot of other parameters have to be considered before making decisions.

What do you think? Should Bethesda listen to its fans this time and make remakes of its older games? Which game would you like to have remade first? Let us know in the comments below.
