Hellblade 2 Will Remain At 30FPS On Xbox Series S, Reveals Microsoft

Hardly surprising how that thing runs anything at 60 is mind boggling

Nothing wrong with that to be honest. If you want/expect 60 FPS on everything you've probably grabbed an X.

I didn't expect it to be to be honest and I'm not really sure the 60fps for the game will look good either with the drop in picture quality!

It's good to hear. But if ms can't even abide by their own "parity clause," how can they expect outside devs to.

@VeganHerpes The parity clause doesn't require devs to add the exact same performance/graphical settings across Xbox Series X and S. It just requires devs to release the Xbox Series X version of their game at the same time as the Xbox Series S version, with gameplay feature parity.

By gameplay feature, I mean stuff like split-screen mode (like what happened with BG3), not stuff like a 60 FPS setting. Basically, the Series X version of a game can't normally have exclusive content that the Series S version doesn't have.

"oh no, how can this be. The Series S is sooo strong, it has 4TFlops..."
😁😁😁
Even though I don't care about Series S. I think this is a game, where 60fps are no must have.

60fps is a game changer in many games except this one, is already too slow to benefit from anything above 30. Also the graphics is really the only thing this game has going for it, makes no sense to downgrade them.

…ouch.

Still, good to see they made the right call and didn’t punish people who own the better machine just because the weaker platform can’t handle it.

This thing is still a deal if you’re a tv user in comparison to the switch 2.

Logic dictates that 60fps is only beneficial for fast moving games. We are more than happy to watch films at 24 FPS with fast scenes and no one complains. If you don't tell people they won't notice. The generation of the bigger the number the better it is. I recall someone who said they wanted to get IPv6 because they thought it would make it faster. Unfortunately most of the younger gen don't actually understand technology only a higher number is better.

I am honestly not even mad or disappointed or not even surprised because Hellblade 2 is one of those games that doesn't even need 60 FPS

this game is designed to be a fully immersive cinematic movie anyone who is seriously obsessed with playing cinematic games at 60 FPS needs to be seriously checked out by a neurologist because something is definitely wrong with you

I just don't understand why some gamers are obsessed with playing every single game at 60 FPS when in reality some games don't even need it because they are designed to be a 30 FPS cinematic experience and I really don't mind playing console games at 30 FPS besides console games have always been 30 FPS for two reasons the controller input is not as fast as a keyboard and mouse so 30 FPS works perfectly

as for the second reason most open world / semi-open world games usually always run at 30 FPS in order to make the game as visually detailed as possible in order to attract gamers into buying the game and it works all the time unfortunately some gamers don't see it that way they just care about wanting to play every console game at 60 FPS or higher if that's all you really care about please go play on PC it's the best platform to play all of your games at 60 FPS or higher and let us console gamers enjoy our 30 FPS games also before you criticize me for not experiencing 60 FPS believe me when I say this I often play a lot of 60 FPS games such as Call of Duty Battlefield Splitgate 2 War thunder Warframe Fortnite Marvel Rivals far cry 4 / 5/6/new Dawn AC unity and above Halo Gears of War Apex Legends battlefront 1/2 reboot and so many others I lost count and yet I often go back to 30 FPS games such as destiny 2 because it's one of those games 60 FPS is not really needed because it's a massive open world MMO RPG game and I'm okay with playing the game at 30 FPS

So please don't take this comment negatively this is just how I feel
