      And it doesn’t even include the DLC of the original game like skyrim se did, you have to buy the deluxe edition (an extra £10/$10)

        The original expansions are included.

        Experience everything Oblivion has to offer with previously released story expansions Shivering Isles, Knights of the Nine, and additional downloadable content included in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered.

          Cool! I was just looking at the poster they made and it looks like the DLCs are part of the deluxe set but it is designed badly or I misread it

      I mean … not really, they all but rebuilt it. New assets on a new engine.

        Yes, assets and fancy graphics but the gameplay and story are still the same?

          Story is relatively cheap to develop. A lion share of the cost of making a game is the coding (which with this being moved to another engine, there almost certainly was a lot of that) and art (which it seems they redid like all of that and there’s a good chance a lot of the animations had to be tweaked).

          Basically the only thing wouldn’t have to pay for was the story writers and some level designers (people still had to touch up the maps even if there was some automated conversion that pulled most of the map into Unreal Engine 5).

          https://youtu.be/1jZXzv1-CmA – like this isn’t just a texture upscale and some minor tweaks to the animations, it’s a large scale remaster.

            As a consumer, the costs of development are irrelevant to me.

                As I just said in the comment you just replied to, I don’t care why it costs $50. I’m not paying $50 for the same game, no matter how pretty it is.

        But classic cars are finite. This is infinite.
