Make new games and stop remastering shit
Starfield released and no one liked it but as of its launch they are currently making Elder Scrolls 6. Bethesda Studios isn't really working on these remasters themselves at all, which is probably why Oblivion's remaster had no real mod support.
Supposedly they've been working on ES 6 for close to a decade. They showed a video of it back in '18.
No, when they showed that video they said the game wouldn't be in active development until after Starfield launched, so in reality they've been working on it for a little over 2 years now
I prefer new games over remasters but in some cases remasters are welcome because the hardware has moved on so much that the game feels barely playable anymore. And some games I want to be able to play forever.
I wouldn't mind remaking old games, if they were actual remakes instead of remasters. I would 100% love a New Vegas remake that lets us go east of the Dam into Legion territory while having Ulysses as our companion. There's so much cut content on New Vegas you could absolutely make a remake that keeps the story beats but is otherwise a fresh experience. I would also 100% love a remake of Morrowind that actually had the region of Morrowind instead of just Vvardenfell (You can keep the main quest largely the same, just move the locations across Morrowind).
Remakes should take the original vision and make a new game while keeping the original vision intact. Games that had their original vision compromised are prime targets for remakes, which coincidentally are both Morrowind and New Vegas.
incorporates all the cut content, and surrounding necessities for it, with a new modernized engine..
