we’re at the mid-gen point and the two main consoles are already showing signs of struggle, can we just take this thing behind the barn and end it for good? At least to unchain the series x and ps5 for 3rd party developers











Such an unnecessary burden microsoft placed on 3rd party devs. Like if you want to keep parity with your own first party studios fine but don’t drag down the rest of the generation with this bullshyt

Lead Producer Slava Lukyanenka discussed multiple aspects of the development, including the hurdles the team faced during the optimization process.

While replying to one of the questions about the Xbox Series S, the lead producer stated that the team is confident it can still achieve solid results with enough hard work and effort.

He says the team has two modes for Xbox Series X: performance mode, which runs at 60 FPS, and quality mode, which runs at 30 FPS but offers high resolution. The team plans to combine both to achieve similar results in Series S.

While the Xbox Series S currently falls short of the 30FPS target, the developers are hopeful about reaching a solid frame rate before the release.

The series s is a problem because more work on the least desirable platform. You are going to see developers breaking their backs for the Switch 2 and never complain.

Yep, it’s essentially having to further optimize for a console with an install base of what 10-12m? A base who are trained not to pay full price for games…
