@NEStalgia i'm honestly worried that SE will just give the PS4 version to Xbox, not the Intergrade one. Also yuffie dlc.... can't expect that to arrive on Xbox before at least one year, right?
@NEStalgia read somewhere that there will Direct-like show from SE this Thursday. They most likely gonna announce PS4 version too at that show since it will be very weird if they don't also release this on PS4, business wise.
Only three titles so far that i consider as SE's near future big hitters and all of them are PS' timed exclusive 😐 .... Which are FFXVI, Project Athia, & FFVIIR part 2. Hopefully there are some surprises that also appear on Xbox Day 1.
Hope they fix the problems found in Series X version asap and please do something with the NOT ENHANCED AT ALL Series S version. I would be so mad if they didn’t do anything about it.
@Trainer a remake of FFVI & Chrono Trigger are probably too important projects to be outsourced to external devs. I honestly prefer SE to remake those titles themselves with beautiful HD2D visuals.
So it seems to be possible for Series S to output the game render resolution & framerate to 4K60 without 4K/high resolution textures, given the claim by EA that the game can run at 4K uncapped 50+ fps on PS4 Pro. Though both systems are different devices with different SDKs & development environtment so it's not that simple. 1440p60 is more likely and also very possible.
It's odd and dumb if they choose 4K30 instead of 1080p60/1440p60 for Series S. Pretty sure most people who bought Series S prefer the latter, though why not provide the additional 1080p60/1440p60 mode as to not make this relatively simple issue complicated
@Krzzystuff very doubtful imo that Sony are planning to release PS5 games at all on PC in this 9th-gen lifetime. We'll probably get no more than 3 old PS4 exclusive games per year. The demands for these games on PC are arguably still high enough and this will be Sony way of squeezing out more cash from these old games. Remember that this isn't like "almost crumbling" XB1 situation and PS still leading the competition between the big duo to this very day.
I also believe that cloud techology will be big part of gaming in the future but that would be roughly 50 years from now since we need to wait until literally every corner on the earth have fast & reliable enough internet with good infrastructure to support truly comfortable cloud gaming experience that's indistinguishable from running the game natively on the hardware.
So instead of taking a break for few weeks, he choose to retire from The Initiative and rejoin his previous studio...
Either something we don't know happened that leads to his change of heart, or something else went wrong in The Initiative at that time. Either way, this will rekindle console war no problem.
@NEStalgia welp, haven't tried that yet. How is the framerate on that game?
Well i said that with some exception in mind ofc but all enhanced games i've played worked great. Still believes that implementing resolution boost requires much less comprehensive testing & optimizations compared to fps boost provided the game with it's base resolution runs fullspeed in the first place. Except for few odd games, XSX shouldn't have any problem brute forcing the additional processing power required by these games.
Then give them(x360 & ogx games) resolution boost at least. Resolution boost via heutchy method probably the more compatible and less problematic feature to implement on all games compared to fps boost and it's fairly safe to assume that all x360 & ogx games can run fullspeed at 4K on Series X and at 1080p/1440p on Series S.
It's a bummer as i'm fairly sure SE would announce the new expansion along with Xbox port announcement but ... we only got news about expansion and PS5 version of the game.
Good news that it will eventually come to Xbox, yay. Maybe next year?
If MS gonna do it then do it in the next 4 - 5 years. The whole xbox division right now should focuses all of their resources on how to produce more consoles, creating more first-party games, and improving the overall xbox services.
Gearbox oh gearbox, what a shame. While Borderlands is cool, they used to have good-but-now-forgotten IP like Brothers in Arms. The only thing i want to see from Gearbox(aside of Borderlands) nowadays is that IP getting reinvented & resurrected back to it's former glory on current-gen consoles & PC as to not end-up in it's current sad state of being mobile-only-game crap.
While good performance on last gen consoles is nice to hear, i just wish this new multithreading solution in the Infinite's engine means the game will also run much better on Series X. About time those 52 non-boostable CUs to show their potential.
