This is a bit dishonest. You can clearly see in the screenshot that the sun is low in the sky, this the darker/somewhat washed out tones. When it’s high in the sky, the color really isn’t that much different than the original, albeit obviously not as vivid. Whether the vivid/bright color of the original Oblivion is better than the remaster or not is purely subjective; I happen to prefer the newer aesthetic a lot more.
The below comic existed before the game even was announced. Some people just looked at the leaked pics and decided to start hating the remaster.
Everyone has a right to like/dislike things but this is just pure dishonest depiction of the game to fuel the hate circle jerk.

I agree with you, the remaster looks really nice. I dont feel it’s washed-out at all. The only thing that freaks me out a little is how every NPC’s mouth is a little too wide for their face now. Just a little.

For some reason the games difficulty being lowered dramatically has made me more judge mental of the graphics upgrade. Like they should only upgrade the graphics if they are going to get the gameplay right.
I did fix the difficulty thing with a mod though so its not like its unplayable.

It’s been almost 20 years since I’ve played the original, so I may be misremembering its difficulty. I remember it being super easy to cheese everything, just like in the remaster. Really, I don’t have a high opinion of vanilla combat in any of the Elder Scrolls games. I think Avowed did an excellent job of showing how FPS RPG combat can be accomplished well.

Loved Avowed, definitely great. Not perfect, but made me forget my worries while I played it. I went dual pistols, you?
