While GameCritics will soon post a full review of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered, the good people at Bethesda were kind enough to supply a code specifically to test out this rework on Playstation 5 Pro. Surely Sony’s beefy machine will have no problems running a gussied-up eighteen-year-old game?
The idea of a “Mid-Gen Refresh” for videogame consoles is still very much in its infancy, and with absolutely no idea what the next generation of hardware is going to look like (or when it will happen), I’m having difficulty labeling it a “trend” either. Microsoft does not seem to have much interest in a Series X…X(?) as a follow-up to the XBox One X, so Sony seem like the only ones crazy enough to consider such a thing as even necessary.
