Former Blizzard Entertainment president Mike Ybarra said he was “skeptical” about remasters like The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remasteredcomparing the game to the success of Elden ringWho, according to him, moved the bar too high for role -playing games (RPG).
In a recent article on X / Twitter (via PC Gamer), the ex-sublizzard Boss shared his reflections on the Oversight Remaster, saying that he does not think that old game remasters can withstand “modern masterpieces” as since Elden ring.
“I am skeptical about 20 -year -old remasters,” said Ybarra. “What was once fantastic, now remastered, will never resist modern masterpieces like Elden ring. The bar has simply passed from global RPG openly open to this Elden ring brought us all.
“I would love to be wrong. But I am not,” he continued.
“I don’t want to say souls, I mean discovery, classes, combat system, etc.,” added Ybarra. “Just a new level of quality.”
When another user said that remasters like Oversight “Lack of innovation” and compensate for nostalgia, Ybarra replied, saying that he believed that players want something new.
“I hear you, but I think we have had so many” remasters “that nostalgia is limited. I could be wrong. But I think the game community wants more fresh and new,” he said.
Despite Ybarra’s comments, it is clear that there is room for modern rems and RPGs like Elden ring And Assassin’s Creed: Shadows. Just hours after the launch of the shadow of Remastered oblivionThe game quickly collected more than 180,000 simultaneous steam players.
