Developers are trash talking the Series S at Gamescom

[Gizmo_Duck]

this is the dawn of the digital ghetto!

Starfield’s performance on the S is going to either prove or disprove a lot of the concern trolling we’re seeing and shine a light on which dev is being honest or not on what is possible on the series s.

I agree that Starfield is going to be a real test if what the Series S is actual capable of in the long run, but I disagree with the idea that it'll ultimately prove who's bullshytting about what or isn't possible. Starfield spent a significant portion of its active development time as an XBox exclusive, so realistically speaking, they'll have had more time to get this right that most other games will, by nature of what platforms the game is designed for.

I'm thinking what most likely happens is what people probably should've expected all along, which is that XBox first party games end up being far better at handling the X/S split than third party games are, even when they're exclusive.

Naw, you don’t need anything.

It’s clear you “care” more about series s playing the game than playing the game yourself.

Plays surprisingly well on the steam deck. I’m sure series S could run it

150+ hrs on steam says different. But whatever makes you feel better. Coping mechanisms differ from person to person and I have no reason to discount yours.

Godspeed

It’s just time.

Some devs don’t have the resources to drop on all platforms at once, so they concentrate on the most popular platforms first.

This has always been the case. Series S getting blame for something that’s existed since forever.

I know. That doesn't change the fact there are numerous games that, for example, have ray tracing on the x but not the s

There are numerous games that have features only on series x and not s lol. Including first and third party games

I don't see a world where we drop S. In terms of parity, I don't think you've heard from us or Larian, that this was about parity. I think that's more that the community is talking about it. There are features that ship on X today that do not ship on S, even from our own games, like ray-tracing that works on X, it's not on S in certain games. So for an S customer, they spent roughly half what the X customer bought, they understand that it's not going to run the same way.

Im thinking Rem really know what he talking about with this parity stuff, but he just repeating Phil.

Phil also lied in that statement saying "it's more of the community and Larian didnt say it's parity"

This is Larian's Director of Publishing saying this.

Name some games that haven't dropped on current gen systems at the same time (no timed exclusives/previous gen titles). Bet most of the titles you list are due to inferior hardware reasons (i.e switch)

Tell them nikkas to stop bytchin

Bro, I have a series x. One of my friends have a s. I've known about the differences since they released. Hell, there's a chance I said this before today when discussing the game.
