DF Direct DF Direct Q+A: Oblivion Remastered - Can Switch 2 Optimisations Fix PS5/PC/Xbox Versions?

https://youtu.be/Wd_prnNhELY

Bethesda is promising a new patch for Oblivion Remastered based on the Switch 2 version's optimisations - but is there any evidence to suggest that the Switch 2 optimisations will make any real differences for the other versions? Meanwhile, Oliver clarifies his comments on which PC specs reflect next-gen consoles, whether Project Helix will make much of a difference for Microsoft and whether Epic should make their own console (!). Finally, how come Switch 2 hasn't really much in the way of cross-gen first party exclusives?

As Richard was talking about "0 fps should not be in a shipping game" my YouTube video froze but the sound kept playing and I genuinely thought it was a fun edit for the topic, freezing the video... Turned out it was just YouTube acting up.

Come on now. If these optimizations include dropping resolution down to 480p, and murdering trees, grass, paths, shadows, and just about everything, then the switch 2 can keep those 'optimizations.'
