The Medium (XSX, PC) 1/28/21. Xbox Got One???

[MeachTheMonster]

I guess this is why gamepass is good because it lets you try these “medium” reviewed games right away instead of waiting until thy hit the bargain bin in a month.

I’m pretty sure this is the first actual next gen xbox exclusive. A 72 (and falling) isn’t that great. Games with much better reviews get killed on here so nikkas on here now trying to act Above it all are coming off see through. regardless of which way you slice it, a 70 is not a great review. I still look forward to watching a playthrough of it over the weekend though.

It’s bizarre to me for as much bragging as yall been doing about the power of xbox to see a game as small as this fall into 900p range is pretty bad

Just stopped in to say I hope it's fun for y'all that play it.

Has an interesting looking hook/gimmick, and not every game is meant to, or has to be, a critical darling to be enjoyable.

they're saying on PC a 3080 can't maintain 1080p 60fps

Interested to see what settings that's at. Makes sense though, if the game is legit rendering two of everything at the same time.

Wait, i thought the game was locked at 30fps due to wanting to create “cinematic feel’?

The developer said: "The game is 4K/30fps. The decision to go with 30 fps is a result of the game's focus on cinematic experience on one hand, and the player's ability to play in 2 worlds at the same time, rendered and displayed simultaneously, on the other hand".

Read your own damn quote dummy. It’s rendering two scenes at once

The hypocrisy

What does that have to do with someone saying it runs at 60fps on pc?

You seem upset.

Hardware requirements are high because it’s rendering two games at once.

PC ain’t magic

You’re missing the point

I was asking if they changed their minds about including 60fps options in the game when they deliberately said they locked it at 30fps for artistic reasons.

They never said they were offering 60fps.

PC dudes are trying to brute force the game to 60. But all of their own information and recommended specs say 30fps

High, no RT

The Medium cannot run with constant 60fps on the RTX3080, even at 1080p/High/RT Off settings - DSOGaming

Man what are you talking about, it clearly goes up to 60fps on pc despite being locked at 30 on xbox

And then we come to the game’s performance. There are numerous scenes in which The Medium drops below 60fps on the NVIDIA GeForce RTX3080,

The fact that it is allowed to run at 60fps at all completely contradicts their statement of locking it at 30fps on the xbox due to trying to create a cinematic feeling. They said it was an artistic choice to lock it not a technical choice.
