Re: Talking Point: What Was The Best Surprise Of This Year's Xbox Summer Showcases?

Starfield. Never really expected much going in as everyone kept saying Skyrim in space and that didn't excite me at all. The showcase just tickled me in places that I was not expecting.

Avowed, Obsidian has never missed for me and Outer Worlds length in a PoE world is going to be great.

Fable, not much to say other than the Forza Engine is very powerful and hope to see Xbox studios make more use of it. Maybe Halo ?

InExile, Wasteland 3 is pure magic but just from the graphics and world from what they showed with Clockwork has me pretty hyped for their future.

Re: Digital Foundry Posts Huge Breakdown On Why Starfield Runs At 30FPS On Xbox

Not a dig at the consoles in any way but it all boils down to the laptop cpu being used in the Series and PS5 consoles. It's okay and has always been this way for console, compromises have to be made for an all in one box that cost 500.

Removing global illumination would help and maybe will be patched in the future but for me I just completed Zelda totk @30 and it was one of the best games I have ever played.

Wanna go after a company about frame rate issues ? Start with From Software.

Having downloaded the 4k video and examined it thoroughly it is clearly in engine footage with snippets of game play running 1800p with fsr2 upscaled to 4k with global illumination and rti enabled. Frame rate comes in at around a almost locked, sometimes, possibly hitting 33&1/3 j/k

Game looks amazing ! Can't wait to kick chickens and cutt some farts with that young lady 💪

Re: Starfield Will Run At 4K / 30FPS On Xbox Series X, 1440p / 30FPS On Series S

So for the kicks of it I had to read the comment section. It did not disappoint lol.

Not hating on anything but things like this never really bother me but I'm sympathetic to those impacted. Only advice one can offer is get a PC.
These laptop apu from 2019 are not that powerful, add global illumination and physics engines running bonkers in the background and we have a bunch of upset gamers. Don't make yourself miserable or miss out on a game because the graphics or framerate is unacceptable to you.

Now a pc wont fix broken games (Lou/Redfall) but you have more control over the quality/fidelity.

@BAMozzy All good. I just feel using a Halo as an example is a penalty MS has paid. 343 screwed the pooch on that one for sure. But if all they have is in game footage of Everwild or Sod3 I wanna see it lol. Just don't make it on some super pc by a 3rd party,. That is wrong.

@Kaloudz lmao I "feel" they will deliver. Hellblade 2 release date with gameplay.

Fable Avowed and Indiana Jones gameplay would be epic !
