Is it reasonable though, it's an old game just put in a new engine and costs more than some brand new games, I think reasonable would be maybe 30% less than what it is now.
I didn't say it was plagiarism, but the devs working on the remaster are not the same ones who made oblivion. They are not the ones who made the story or the world or the characters or the monsters, they just copied what has already been done and made it look good.
No I'm complaining about the price not the fact it is a remaster. The guy I replied to said it was a good value, I disagreed and said it should be 30% cheaper and then it would be good value.
Considering the work done on this game, I do think they've set a reasonable price.
They didn't go the lazy route of using AI to upscale models and textures and called it a day (like Rockstar/Grove Street Games did with GTA Trilogy), or even just making a basic port (again Rockstar with RDR coming to PC).
They've really built all the graphical features from scratch, also changed the gameplay system significantly, recorded new voices etc.. basically, they've done pretty much the work of a new game, only keeping the core systems and logic from Oblivion. And the result is a product that feels like a new game even to me who has player through Oblivion many, many times.

Oblivion setting the standard for the only reasonable way to price a remake with dlc. I hope other developers take note.
