This is the issue with things like this
Xbox Series X is apparently to MS the worlds most powerful console
However the Series S is obviously a limitation because it’s underpowered and developers have to go for parity.
So what’s the point of the world’s most powerful console if you are holding third party developers back? They aren’t going to push themselves if they have to think about the weakest console.
The issue wouldn’t be as bad if it was just Xbox but you are also affecting the PS version aswell
I think developers need to start just taking advantage of a console and if one of them can’t do X Y and Z then f*** them…why should the others suffer. What’s MS going to do? The bigger the franchise the least chance MS are going to tell them to f*** off. Baulders Gate 3 seemed to have stood their ground and suddenly their “strict” parity rule didn’t really matter. We suddenly got super optimisation efforts for the Series S that got things sorted.
I agree, and the sad part is use normal folk saw it the second they announced their plans.

"1) I was told this info from the producer of the game Martin Klíma.
2) He specifically said the game will have only one mode.
3) And this mode is 4K 30 on PS5/XSX and 1440p 30 on XSS.
4) He said that the game is already running north of the 30 FPS cap so the performance should be stable on launch, much better than KCD1.
5) The limitation was XSS because of the 10GB memory. He said that's why they wanted to make the game 25% larger.
6) Speculation on my part: the output resolution is probably upscaled and the reason why there won't be a 60 FPS mode is because it'll most likely be very CPU heavy, like Dragon's Dogma 2 for example."
Doesn't seem like they're adding a 40fps mode on PS5/Series X for launch even if they can handle it.
I'd much rather have 1440p/60fps or even 45fps. Having just one, even with the Series S in mind, is disappointing.
Remember when xbots were adamant that the series s won’t hold back the gen?
Microsoft just needs to let go of the mandatory parity. Who cares if your grandma doesn’t understand that a game cannot be played on the S. It’s not like it she can buy you a physical game for it anyway. Before buying the game put up a notice that it only works on series X. If you’re buying for a friend-allow for a refund.
Bam. Everyone is happy. Most series s owners are for casuals that want Game Pass anyway and most likely don’t purchase most games.
If the developers want it to run on S, let them figure it out.
“During the event, the Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 producer also revealed that on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, the game will run at 4K resolution and 30 frames per second“
Another “creative decision” right? 🤦♂️
Come celebrate the 1-year anniversary of Diablo IV and the 2-year anniversary of Diablo Immortal! There are heaps of rewards to mark these celebrations with a bounty of devilish goods across both games.
Tales of the Shire has many hurdles to jump to live up to the J.R.R. Tolkien masterpiece, and magical elements might be its most pertinent one.
No I wouldn't be able to focus enough to use it. Good that it has other uses though (alzheimer's, ADHD) as I don't see the point in introducing it to gaming
If I do not have as much control as in real life then no, I will stick with gamepad or k/B
No No No God forbid this will ever be introduced into gaming...it is useless...it will provide some help for the handicapped...But in the 1st place this will take the hand eye coordination out of the loop and thats bad for almost everything we use in real life. 2nd it will make you use less physical energy, it will make you fat. 3rd The best part of games is the reaction between head and hand and the feedback u get via physical interaction with a controller. 4th It is already natural that u don't perceive using ur hands(once u have learned hand eye coordination for anything specific, ur not aware of the complex processes involved between the brain and the body and the perception is non existing) so this brain only step is superficial and useless 5th ur brain gets lazy cause it will be an easier task to perform than the complex Brain/Body interactions/processes. 6th The mind <=>body feedback processes provide a natural seperation/barrier/pathways between multiple thinking processes and actual final decisions/actions made during interaction with a system such as touch(a very complex evolution proven information tool that is vital)removing all this will be a handicap and lead to enormous errors in judgement in simulations/operations in real life. Better make the machines connect with ALL our senses instead of going brain only(the brain is intertwined with the body...a perfected ecosystem..after millions of years evolution) removing the senses in the decision making processes is a mistake.
