The upcoming Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion remake, reportedly developed by Virtuos and powered by Unreal Engine 5, is set to feature significant graphical and gameplay overhauls, making it a full-fledged reimagining rather than a simple remaster.

It will end up just like the RE2 Remake and Silent Hill 2 Remake. The new people who never played the original will love it, but fans of the original will either hate it or be mixed on it. But publishers literally do not care about existing customers, so they won't care what existing fans have to say on it as long as the new people buy it. Reviewers will overrate the remakes because the original was so highly regarded. Same story as most remakes, really.

I'd disagree on this, if they didn't care about existing customers they'd be making new games instead of remaking games that people already know and like! Sure they might not care about the small fraction of existing customers with very strong opinions, but the market of "oh I remember that game!" is much more lucrative.
