blathering blatherskite!
in the BG3 thread nikkas was calling Larian 'lazy' for not dropping the Xbox version quickly when they had to figure out how to downgrade their game to run on a system that weak
trying to run act 3 of the GOTY on a chipset weaker than some phones and at least two refigerators was a daunting task.
But they eventually did it
love that studio
Shame Xbox wasn't smart enough to not make people have to do that.
The S should have always been a gateway system, not intended to run the highest end stuff at all. So you hook people on the ecosystem and tell them they keep their games if they move up to the next tier and access the stuff their old S couldn't run. Maybe work a deal with gamestop to kick some money off the X when trading in an S as a perpetual promotion that draws people in to gamestop instead of using other resellers as a win-win.
Instead, they're handcuffing an anchor to themselves with the S, then latching a hand around Sony's ankle because the generation only moves as fast as the slowest member of it for all multiplats. It should be the selling point of the X - that's where real 'next gen' lives, whereas the S is the entry-point.
forced parity just
And whats worse is that anchor will probably be around their feet for next gen also, because i doubt they drop the series s and x anytime soon. We’ll prob still be getting cross gen ps4/xboxone call of duty and FC titles into 2028
