phil bottle got a reaction from GazzaGarratt in Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion remaster
They would be pretty dumb not to release on all platforms at the same time particularly with their new mantra of playing their games on whatever device you like...

Remake or remaster...I hear it's a bit of both. Leakers say it may drop next Tuesday but we'll see...

Patch 1.3 has dropped this evening, it's massive so I'll just leave a link below.
Lots of tweaks, re-balancing and fixes, including to A Life...I hope I get a few more frames too : )

I've been loving it. I'm also nearly at the end of the game now (on Stalker difficulty) and once done I'm going back and doing the whole game again on Veteran.
The story, if you know the lore, is bang on imo, so far at least. I just had an emotional conversation with Strider, which was excellent 😥 I lied to him.

Not to mention the fact that they will clearly release an Oled version further down the line as an new improved version when there's nothing stopping them from doing that now. Capitalism at it's finest, profits over people, don't you just love it when they rinse us for every penny 🙂
I also see that pre-orders have been delayed in the US due to tariffs 🫠

Thought he was a brilliant actor, but such bad luck with his health in recent years.

Rumours are that Bethesda are about to shadow drop this remaster. Could be any day in the next couple of weeks.
I love the original, I'll wait until I see something of the remaster before thinking of getting it.

I don't think it's expensive really, I think if you compare this to the Steam deck which is a great machine you are getting something rather comparable for the price. The power under the hood is similar and I think the 256gb variant is similar in price to this device albeit you are paying more but getting the dock included. They appear to have taken on board the issues with the first console and improved them.
My wife was really interested in this straight off the bat because of the Mario Kart game which my kids are at the age to start appreciating, I do not think this will do as well as the original Switch, it does not feel like it brings much new to the table other than a more refined device. It feel's just like an upgrade rather than a new machine.
The game share I liked, it means I could play Mario Kart on the Switch 2 and my daughter join us on the OLED swith 1 which could be good. The camera and the screen sharing looked really bad. The power isn't there to stream 4 other players devices while you are gaming and you could clearly see them lagging. Apparently in the interviews after they acknowledged this and have just accepted it which to me is poor. If it does not work just don't do it at all and they showed off some great 3rd party games that would never have been possible on the current switch with cyberpunk, Hitman, new 007 game and the bloodborne esque game they showed off at the end of the trailer.
I do have issues though -
I think the first game / app they showed off sums up Nintendo at the moment though and it is why I have fallen out of love with the company as such in recent years. A game / app that showcases how to use the device but you have to pay for it? I mean what??!! Wheras playstation release a little Astro bot game free of charge.
Then there are all these Switch 2 variants of games that you have to pay extra for, I think it was the Zelda game where you are paying extra to have the maps on your phone?
Also game chat, welcome to what 2006?
I will pick one up but it will likely be a Christmas purchase for the household after we have moved and that is in part because my wife is offering to buy it as a joint household gift! 🙂

I feel like I've completely outgrown Nintendo and they seem to be blurring into the likes of Sony and Microsoft with scummy tactics. Indie and AA titles are very expensive on their machine and with physical copies soon to house only partial install data, you have to wonder why they even bother. Soon to be paying £70 for a game that's useless without an online connection and 30gb download. Their exclusive range also does nothing for me now - I can see why Nintendo-only gamers may be wowed at some titles but even BOTW just felt like a bloated open world game with some infuriating mechanics and limited gameplay. I did enjoy some of it especially at the start but having played a zillion of these titles, it wasn't anything new or unique.
Even for younger gamers, the amount of BS and the price here is just exhausting and they could easily broaden their horizons by a monumental margin with things like the Steam Deck. Switch 2 will basically have all the modern nonsense that plagues gaming but with a heavily restricted and overly-expensive catalogue.
