Also, Atomfall, Chernobylite 2, Avowed, etc,etc, etc. Plus many more
etc's!

Kingdom Come Deliverance II, Horizon Forbidden West, Black Myth:
Wukong, Seikor Shadows Die Twice, Ghost of Tushima, Starfield, Indiana
Jones and the Great Circle, Gothic 1 Remake...
...and those are just some of the games in the wishlist.
If I look into the backlog of already owned games, oh boy! That would
make for a very long post!

"Oblivion Remaster" isn't just competing with other new games; it's
competing with the huge backlogs everybody already has because we get
offered literal hundreds of free games every year. "Oblivion Remaster"
is perhaps a bit more vulnerable to this than, say, a game like
"Monster Hunter World" because -for all its new gloss- ultimate it is
still a 20-year old game. It, like all the freebies, is not a new
experience.
That's why its asking price seems so weirdly high. I get that it's
just the Day One price; that asking for that much implies a certain
expectation of value, and that more work was put into it than just an
AI-upscaling of textures. Still, it's competing against the likes of
"Assassins Creed Shadows" or "Baldurs Gate 3" and it isn't really
offering the same value. I can play Oblivion -minus some of the fancy
visuals- already, thanks to my dozen of other copies. Even if I didn't
own it already, I could get the GOTY version for a fiver. $50 USD for
a remaster that, ultimately, is mostly about the visuals?
I'll pass, thanks.
