I haven't talked about games in a long while. I did have an article about Far Cry 5 that I started and never finished regarding a specific topic. If you look at my Steam account, The Elder Scrolls V Skyrim and Far Cry 5 represent two of the longest played games I have on that platform. Too bad, the N64 and Xbox 1 didn't have timers for Goldeneye 007 and Halo 1 because I would have a ridiculous amount of time for both of those games. Anyway, there is much buzz around the InterTubes of a leak of renders of a rumored Elder Scrolls release. Kotaku has an article you can read an see the images.
What's so special is that the game is a remaster of the well loved TES4: Oblivion. The rumors have it that the remaster is a full-blown improvement over all things that matter. The leaked images are very good looking. I never played Oblivion but I remember back when I was building PC's for a local repair shop, a guy about the same age I was then came into the shop to have a new card installed so he could play this new game. I didn't know anything about The Elder Scrolls back then since I was just a console gamer. I couldn't afford a proper PC.
Fast forward many years and I finally had a decent PC and TES5: Skyrim came out. I have played that so much that it's toward the top of my Play Time list. While it's not as much as some, 106 hours of play time isn't anything to scoff at. Only Far Cry 5, Ghost Recon Wildlands and Fallout 4 beat Skyrim in play time. What those games don't beat Skyrim in is how much I have watched YouTubers play their version of the game. I probably have as much time watching other people play Bethesda games as I do myself.
I had hear rumors of a remake but seeing the images got me very excited. While I haven't had any time to really sit down and play anything for over a year, I would happily purchase a copy of TES4:OR if Bethesda releases it on Steam. I have no idea when I will have time to play it.
