The PC Gamer Top 100 finishes today with the top 25 games on their list.
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.

"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.
would you look at that. PC Gamer, one of the top if not thee most respected PC gamer mag has 3, count them whiners 3, Valve games in the top 6 of their favorites. Team Fortress 2, Half Life 2, and Portal.
no wonder you guys love bashing Valve so much. they wont bring their AAA titles to ps3 so you hate, and whine, and cry. if only i had that crying baby Jason360 loves to post.
well cry some more you whiners. ill be enjoying Left 4 Dead on my PC while you ps3 whiners jump on your hate wagon for one of the greatest developers around today....because they dont love your lil black box. pathetic lemmings.
On behalf of many people, i disagree.
I expect number 1 to cause some controversy. I wouldn't put it there myself, but I would replace it with another Valve game. Team Fortress 2 is a great game though.
23 City of Heroes
I don't agree with that. Granted I haven't played the game since a few months after launch, but unless it has gotten a huge overhaul (which maybe it has, I haven't kept track of it) then it doesn't even deserve to be on the list at all. The character customization was great and it was pretty fun, but there wasn't much content in the game at all.
PC gaming is dead. It has been dead since the PS2 came out. Microsoft was even so underwhelmed with the Games for Windows LIVE sales that they're giving away LIVE for free now, something they used to charge $50 for.
#1 should have been Warcraft III : tower defense mod
