I need more than a couple of pieces to amp up my gaming rig. Try a whole new build!

Unfortunately, there's not really much of interest for sale here. I could do with picking up a headset though.

As Fallout76 Crosses 20Million Gamers Amid Success of TVSeries, Todd Howard Talks Franchise’s Future

“Fallout 76″ has found a whole new world of players thanks to the popularity of Amazon’s “Fallout” TV series. The Bethesda Game Studios title, which first launched in October 2018, crossed 20 million downloads and plays as of Wednesday.

Impressive!

Hopefully Fallout 5 will be among next gen Xbox´s launching games.

-Foxtrot13h ago

Yeah will be great. Can’t wait for it on the PS6.

just_looken38m ago(Edited 37m ago)

Though it would be nice i think tod with his team should stay away from it let someone else take the helm like fallout new vegas.

I also hope after all these success they do not make fallout 76 number 2 sense 76 is the most profitable game they made in the series thanks to monthly subs. Then you got the billion + they made on elder scrolls online.

First thing first is the new elder scrolls title they been working on and we got more updates for starfield to come out but one has recently added a new feature called interactive maps you can see icons along with paths now true next gen.....

So yeah with starfield being there "years" of dev time biggest budget/team size do you trust them with the next fallout title?

Kingdom Come Deliverance 2's Scope Was Impacted by Xbox Series S Limitations

Wccf tech writes: "Kingdom Come Deliverance 2's scope was impacted by the Xbox Series S hardware limitations, as developers could only make a game that was 25% bigger than its predecessor."

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.

Abear217h ago(Edited 7h ago)

Agree 100% this is why I didn’t want the M$ Monopoly, now PS5 version will be held back too.

If PS5 Pro comes out and Series S is still a thing it’ll be interesting what differences and what devs choose to do. Really hoping Rockstar pushes the PS5 pro with GTA6 and we get the best version possible.

outsider16245h ago

Good ole S indeed. Everyone knew this all along. S was holding games back...Now where the hell is Orchard i want a word with him.

MajorLazer2h ago

I ****ing hate the S. The tragic thing is withour the S MS doesn't even threaten 10m units sold this gen 🤣

This is a cpu issue along with only 10gb of shared ram not a gpu issue

The cpu is on the series x/s and ps5 so yes those have bigger amount of ram but they still would have the same cpu bottleneck issue for resolution and no doubt npc scale.

They should have upgraded that cpu and like many said in the past trash the series s.

More info from the author of the article, I think: https://www.reddit.com/r/ki...

Quote:
"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.

Sgt_Slaughter11h ago

I'd much rather have 1440p/60fps or even 45fps. Having just one, even with the Series S in mind, is disappointing.

franwex10h ago(Edited 10h ago)

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.

Chocoburger4h ago

If it were Series X only then they'd only be selling to 25% of the Xbox Series userbase, and that's certainly not worth the time and effort into doing a port. Could just do PS5 & PC instead. No compromises needed.

Jin_Sakai10h ago

“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? 🤦‍♂️

IHateNate9h ago

Amateur hour. Very incapable developer.

Outside_ofthe_Box9h ago(Edited 9h ago)

Since you're not an amateur and clearly know more than them, can you over there and help get the game running on the S without having to sacrifice their true vision. Us gamers would really appreciate you using your wisdom for good 🙏

IHateNate9h ago

Thousands of games run just fine on S.

But Kingdom Come is the game that can’t. Must be one hell of a game!

franwex7h ago(Edited 7h ago)

Thousands of games run on PS4 and on Switch. If developers want them to run on those systems. Fine. Those two platforms still get new games. Sony isn’t making studios also make a ps4 pro version, or Nintendo a wiiu version. Microsoft technically is.

IHateNate6h ago(Edited 6h ago)

If games like Alan Wake 2, GTA6, COD, hellblade all run on S, no excuse for this 100x smaller and 100x worse looking game to be held back.

outsider16245h ago(Edited 5h ago)

"Thousands of games run just fine on S.

But Kingdom Come is the game that can’t. Must be one hell of a game!"

Kingdom come 2 runs just fine alright. Its the SCOPE that they want. They had to cut it because of the stupid S series. Hellblade2 ran just fine too..but im pretty confident if it was just the X in mind, the scope of the game would have been much bigger.

IHateNate4h ago

So their scope is greater than that of GTA6 and warzone? Wow. Crazy

outsider16241h ago(Edited 1h ago)

"While Rockstar Games already announced that GTA 6 will be released on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, a Rockstar Games employee who is working on the GTA 6 team has stated that having modern games run on the Xbox Series S console is a huge challenge. The statement was given by Hailin Si, who is a Senior Material Artist at Rockstar Games, according to his LinkedIn. The artist indirectly hinted that the upcoming game may not run smoothly on the Xbox Series S."

You understand what that means right? You understand by scope? Meaning the S will run ofcourse no doubt about it but whatever they have planned for x or ps5 will have to be cut down due to parity.
But hey believe what you will. You seem to know better than any of these developers.

IHateNate1h ago

So what you’re saying is… this developer is lazy?

They don’t want to put in the effort required to deliver a consistent experience like other developers are doing on far more challenging games

outsider16241h ago

Can you read?? Or you just wanna spout nonsense.
A R* dev is saying it might not run as smoothly and you're calling them lazy? Instead of focusing all the strengths of the X and Ps5, they have to pour more resources on how to make a game run on the S and then if it cant, they cut out whatever is planned for the stronger consoles just so that nothing left out for the S.

IHateNate10m ago(Edited 9m ago)

No where does rockstar say they held back their vision because of the S

I’m calling the dev of KC lazy - not rockstar. Rockstar are delivering probably the biggest, most detailed open world on S.

Still no global chat or group finder.

The emptiest MP game ever made.

OtterX15h ago

1 more month then I can celebrate 1 year since i stopped playing and uninstalled the game.

Walalon13h ago

We are on the same team brother!

Rynxie10h ago

I uninstalled d4 after they kept screwing over the sorc build and I beat the game. I also uninstalled immortal after reading the end. I actually went back to d2r here and there.

just_looken53m ago

The only thing i enjoyed in D4 was the mp side but after they gutted my hunter build then again wanted me to grind for over hundred hours each season i too quit like you.

Its insane though a year has already passed.
