Poll: *** Xbox Series X|S - General Discussion Thread ***

[Goodie]

did anyone watch the showcase? just gone back to read a typed blog as it was live and there seems to be allot of 'coming 2024' games and nothing really concrete (de ja vou)

*edit*
Starfield - Sept 2023
fable - no release date
Star Wars outlaws - 2024
Hellblade 2 - 2024
flight sim 2024 - 2024
Avowed - 2024
Forza Motorsport - Oct 2023

Disappointing but totally unsurprising.

The Starfield deep dive was very impressive but it seems that there is so much going on, there's going to be an awful lot of bugfixing after release. Disappointed there was nothing from Gears.

Starfield and Forza should keep me going.

yeah ill be on both of those too, the concerning thing is if that is all they have to bring to the table now I've got literally nothing in 2024 that interests me.

Shame Starfield is 30fps wish they would just lower the res to hit 60fps.

It'll be the first game I've played at 30fps in a long time. Not sure I will like it now.

Starfield's 30fps cap is very disappointing and you can 100% see the impact during the demo's, I bet it will feel fairly sluggish in the middle of action - I'd take 1440p / 60fps over 4k 30 everyday

 

[darkgen]

Immensely annoying developers do not even appear to want to consider 40/120 VRR options.

 

[rare]

It should have a 1440p option on SX, heck even 1080p locked at 60 would be a good option.

 

[Raymond Lin]

Hold the phone, now I am looking forward to Starfield.

For a mode that very few players will be able to use? It everyone had an OLED with the capability of displaying 40/120 you know

It’s a killer for me. Sony are just developing better games at this point. They are including a range of options on the PS5. MS becoming a laughing stock.

This deserves to have your MoH badge removed tbh

Every one of Sonys exclusives have offered a range of performance options. MS recent offerings haven’t. I hope it doesn’t become a trend.

And then I just realised it's not coming to PS5 anyway! I don't even have an Xbox anymore. Guess I'll be playing via Xcloud or GeForce Now. Don't think my 1070 will do a very good job.

I don't buy that, which is good since the devs aren’t selling it anyways

BUT adding some additional engineering cycles to allow their games to look and play the best they can on modern TVs / consoles would seem a no brainer considering that most of the heavy lifting takes place to support the PC platforms. I can forgive the smaller or independent studios but for a MS first party studio on an MS flagship console which supports these modes etc. Come on eh.

 

[Raymond Lin]

I must either don't care or have really low standards, 30fps seems perfectly fine to me...I put 100+ hrs on Cyberpunk on original PS4 and thought it was fine!

 

[darkgen]

I just think it's laziness. Modern TVs support these features. The flagship console supports these features and nearly 3 years in to the life-cycle of the blimmin thing you would have hoped by now there would have been a proper showcase game (excluding Flight Simulator) for the thing.

 

[cu3ed]

Have to say the Fable trailer did make me laugh a few times.

 

[DIABLO]

I just think a lot of Xbox players are just so desparate for a decent exclusive that they will buy Starfield just because, but last i looked Sci-Fi RPG is a pretty niche genre and i think a lot of people will get bored quick, or am i wrong? Also the character models looked so bad, like no emotions and plastic skin.
