That's an impressive whispy goatee on that guy isn't it!
I'd love to grow one like that myself but I've very much miss not having physical intercourse again in my life haha 😂
As for fps boost yes more games would be great!
To a game like dark souls 3 it's a game changer!

What a weird year for Xbox:

• 25th anniversary
• Many new system features and improvements
• new Forza Horizon, Gears, Halo (and almost Fable) games
• and then a ton of layoffs, studio closures, restructuring and an uncertain future.

It's quite the emotional rollercoaster for people on Xbox.

FPS boost was needed for so many games that were stuck at 30, i wish they had a way to increase resolution. I would love to play BF4 again but it's at 720p and looks so terrible.

SOLD...... TOO THE MAN WITH THE EXCEPTIONAL BEARD !!!!

I can’t wait to see what these « things » are I hope it also includes some more backward compatible games.

@WhiteAzn Yeah I'd totally agree with that!
They did increase resolution on the 360 gears games I know that so it could definitely be possible.
But with a game like battlefield or anything not first party they could need permission or the studio who released the games help to do it?

I mean… I don’t know if it’s possible but I’d love to see Fables 1 & 2 get fps boost support. I recently re-bought both for like $5 each

@TrollOfWar Which studio was shut down? 343? There was no way to keep a studio that only works on a single IP—one that is no longer in their hands. Layoffs are happening across Western game studios due to high salary costs. However, even as layoffs occur, new staff are also being hired.

Amazing feature that has transformed how some games play. That and 4K make some Xbox 360 games looks like remasters. Unfortunately, not always it's technically possible and some publishers just won't approve it. There have been many backwards compatible enhancements, some of them invaluable because the games are console exclusives, but of course I'd like to see more. The first original Xbox game that was supported, Grabbed by the Ghoulies, became an HD, 60fps remaster on Xbox One and Series X|S.

@Shmoo The only one that doesn't support FPS Boost is Fable II, Fable Anniversary Edition and III do!

@Shinato2024 Sackings are just an everyday occurrence in normal life in my opinion.
Something most people will experience in life.
But in this politically correct world people are encouraged to mourn things like that unfortunately even when in the case of halo/343 studios when it was well deserved.
"Won't anyone think of the children"

@Shmoo Fable 1 (Anniversary Edition) already has FPS Boost

A patent leak revealed that AI would be used to boost the resolution and frame rate of games—essentially acting as an AI-driven remaster running directly on the console.

@Mr-Cage It happens everywhere, indeed, and makes sense when those studios (The Initiative, Double Fine, Ninja Theory, Compulsion and Undead Labs) increased their workforce massively and took a very long time and a huge budget to develop just a middling game or nothing at all.

Examples: the little work that was done on Perfect Dark was thanks to Crystal Dynamics (third party); Compulsion Games took seven years to develop South of Midnight that underperformed on Xbox, PS5 and Swich 2; Undead Labs released a trailer that was not created by them and they had only made a Word document with ideas, etc.

Halo Studios needed external assistance to finish Halo Infinite despite their huge budget and, well, fans were literally asking for it. I was looking forward to State of Decay 3, so I'm glad they are going to finish it and release it on Game Pass. Let's hope that the other studios also manage themselves more wisely and release good games in the near future.

This is the world we live in. If people want studios to be successful, they'd better support them, but the same people that fake outrage or sadness admit that they haven't played any of their games or that they don't even care about Xbox Studios. Before people start "suffering" deeply because Inxile is being closed, they'd better support Clockwork Revolution, because this is another studio that benefited from an increased budget, A-class additional recruitment and long development time. If you don't support those studios, fair enough, but don't be surprised when they are closed. Inxile also needs to sell games.

This might sound harsh, but this is life and anyone here would do the same in their shoes. No publisher keeps a studio for seven years just to bleed money.
