Much online chatter over the weekend just gone has centred on the fact that legendary RPG developer, Bethesda, of Oblivion and Fallout 3 fame, has registered a new website address of elderscrollsonline.com
Spong caught up briefly with Bethesda's Pete Hines late last week who told them the following about the recent $300 million cash injection into Bethesda's new MMO group.
TechRaptor writes, "In our Indika review, we look at a game that features a nun who rides a steampunk bicycle and talks to the Devil about cosmological dualism."
Bethesda has announced the release date for the biggest Starfield update since launch, which will bring map improvements, Xbox graphics options, and more.
40fps and 60fps modes on Xbox is huge! Honestly didn't think it would be possible.
Too bad it wasn't there at launch but this and land vehicles definitely gets me way more excited to jump back in when Shattered Space drops.
The real thing here is... why didn't they have 60 FPS at launch?
I remember so many people defending them saying that it must not be possible to have 60 fps for that game. So many people defending Bethesda. Saying its too hard for 60 fps. I hope a "journalist" goes back and looks at all the excuses made for Bethesda releasing only 30 FPS. Go back and look ath all their excuses and the fans' excuses and do a write up of it all. Bethesda keep messing up and getting a pass imo.
Releasing 60 fps now for this game is simply not good enough
I'll tell you one thing, if I had bought and played Starfield at launch on Xbox SeriesX I would be so damned angry right about now.
Way to bury the best news here! Thanks Zeref for already sharing.
"You can now select your own frame rate target for Starfield if you're on a VRR display, allowing you to choose between 30, 40, 60, and Uncapped."
I'm glad I've waited to finish it. The PC version with frame gen feels great but I'll happily play it on my Xbox again away from my desk
I just started fallout 4 for the first time and did so because of the new patch that was released. I play it in performance mode from my SX through my g cloud and it works really well. I plan on doing the same with this one when it drops.
What happened to the 30 FPS lock on consoles being a "developer choice"? I refused to touch it on console because of that. I honestly got pretty bored of the game after about 15-20 hours, but maybe I'll go back after a lot of updates. Still sad to see things like the map being fixed, and FPS options that should have been there in the first place. Being added in so much later.
the 30fps lock was the developer choice because they could not get 60 to be consistent (at that time). They could have offered 40fps as a trade off but I guess they were wanting to do more work to get 60. And now they got things working to support both 40 and 60 (on the SX) so you can rest easy now and enjoy it.
That isn't good enough. Other devs work hard and launch with 60 FPS. But it's Bethesda right? They always get a pass
I agree 100%. These devs need to be up front about why console is 30. In fact I don't believe for a second HB2 was a dev choice but ran out of time. Despite having plenty of time already.
Makes no sense how much dev time does a game need to be in a pipeline in order to be 60 at launch? Even after delays its still 30. MS needs to get this sorted out with their next batch of games but I doubt they will. I think Indy might be 30 despite it being another linear experience and Avowed might be as well going by MS feature incomplete track record.
I'm confident with Avowed and Indiana both being 60.
Avowed has the 60fps gameplay footage, after their commitment to do better after Redfall.
Indy's footage is 60fps too and runs on id Tech.
Remember all the excuses from 'fans' about why 60 fps wasn't possible on Xbox consoles. It obviously was they just couldn't be bothered.
Things are heating up in May a bit with Senua's Saga: Hellblade II, the Paper Mario TTYD remake, and a ton of promising indies. We pick the most interesting May games, from AAA to indie, so you can make sense of everything coming out.
Doesn't seem to be that bad of a month. Got a bit of something for everyone.
Please do not support braid anniversary edition. Don't support Phil phish, he's a very despicable person, a a cry baby.
One example

Wrong developer. Phil Phish was the developer behind Fez.
Jonathan Blow was behind Braid. If you're gonna cancel culture, don't take down the wrong indie...
It should have been online from the start its like playing a MMO but with NPCs//
God, one of the last great singleplayer RPGs is going MMO!? Terrible news. Shame on you Beth.
r u fuking kidding me? ... lets face it a new gen WOW
they registred elderscrollsonline to prevent others from doing so...not because a MMO is in the works.
Oblivion was ok, I think I would have enjoyed it more on a console since my comp didnt run it very well.
