It certainly looks that way and it's times like this we could do with Sega back in the hardware business to redress the balance
Wow
Lots of people want a performance mode and lots of people expect a flagship title to have it and they're horrified in that expectation.
I'll play Starfield on gamepass on series S and I'll enjoy it, but I'd much prefer playing it in 60fps.
I don't believe any of the reasons given as to why this 'creative decision'was made... Creative BS more like.
There's lots of ways to skin a cat... People can claim that GI is limiting the frame rate but you can run your GI simulation, physics, animation, AI and any system you like at any refresh rate you want to and still keep the visual rendering at 60fps. Digital Foundry know this but they're probably being kind to Starfield for whatever reason.
Updating global illumination every frame seems like a total and utter waste of resources, you could probably update it once per...
That's not how this works
In my experience that isn't the case, it's usually just sites doing their usual clickbait BS
I don't know if it will be great but I can tell you that it would be much better if it ran at 60fps
As a dev, I call BS. I'll bet my job that the PC version can do 60fps with a similar spec at a lower resolution
I don't have any brand allegiance but the last 2 years of Xbox have really put me off. Constant over promising and massively under delivering and the BS acquisition.
Glad I bought an S so I can play the very very few Xbox exclusive that are worth playing but at this rate I won't even bother with their next console at all.
Now they're whining at their own customers for expecting 60fps (which they themselves were touting as a new standard) and b...
Maybe they should force 30fps on PC then seeing as they clearly know best.
I bought the S and I agree, it's fine for me as my third console (behind ps5 and switch) but it's definitely a problem. As a developer the S is just a pain in the ass I don't need.
9995 of those planets are just for gathering resources
I'm sure this game is gone be great but I think your expectations might be too high
So trans people have equality across the whole planet now? That was fast!
Yeah people thought the same about 3dtv, look how long that lasted. I live a bit of vr gaming but it's not replacing the TV for decades at least
Miles and miles too expensive, it needs to be a tenth of the price. Oh and also not a pointless lump of crap too!
They never will
And probably worst too!
That means it only sold one copy right?
Probably in the minority here but the demo turned me off completely, especially the terrible walk and run animations for the main character, I felt like I was skating around on ice the whole time. Clive 's centre of rotation seem to be about half a metre behind him and it's massively off putting for me.
The English voice acting is a total cringe fest too, I'd rather play in Japanese voices but then your have to try to read all the subtitles for the villager NPCs...
