Eh multiplatform stuff already has to target PS4, Xbone, PCs of all types today. The majority of games that are affected by this are the same ones that are also trying to make sure they stay somewhat stable for the guys with a GTX 780 playing in 1080p (Doom Eternal runs at 60FPS on my GTX 970, a mid-series GPU from 2014)

Like, Cyberpunk 2077 has a PS4 version. That's already going to be much weaker than anything they'll have to downgrade for

Either way lol @ thinking some budget system that is polled at having 8% of the PS4/Xbox market share will have some sort of major impact on games as a whole for the next decade.

Or, more to the point, it has to run on a launch Xbox One, which was discontinued years ago and superseded by the S.

Even though people don't want to admit it, reading most of these posts, it's pretty obvious that all of the handwringing over the S is based in some alarmist logic of "XBOX X games must also run on XBOX S, therefore PS5 games, PC games must run on Xbox S...The gaming industry as a whole will be throttled!!!" which is completely ridiculous.

I mean multiple devs from different companies have stated their concerns about this on twitter but I'm sure you're right.

Fortnight is third person. Apex is first person, Paladins is usually pretty populated (and free and cross-platform) with the bonus that most people that play it are pretty bad and you can win a lot.

The S is a nothing product and it's going to be an enormous joke. Any dev that makes games thinking better S this up so the S can run it has done themselves in.

It’s not just ‘some tweets’, like, I’m not sure why you’re trying to downplay the fact that actual triple A devs have stated that the thing you’re saying is silly to worry about is in fact not silly, and the reality. Seems like a weird thing to get repeatedly hostile over.


drat, the Xbox Series X is big a heck, makes me wonder how big the PS5 really is as it’s hard to tell from mockup comparisons. I still like the look of it, minus the small Xbox looking details, but I do like the weird shape, the matte black finish and, aside from the tiny Xbox logo in the corner, it’s basically got nothing else on the faces, like a plain, basic mini ATI case. Am I misremembering or was there a leak or something about the PS5 potentially having swappable face plates or whatever, instead of having different console colors?

My 11th-dimensional analysis of CP2077 releasing with the next-gen consoles is because they perform so poorly on base hardware that CDPR needed a "we're sorry, here's your free upgrade" coupon for PSPoor + X-Got None owners.

The PS4 was originally going to only have 4 GB of RAM and this was changed so late that the Killzone demo they had at the reveal was running on the older spec. I wonder if it had actually come out with 4 GB if people would be whining about the PS4 "holding the industry back".

Farewell, good Hunter. May you find your worth in the waking world.

I think the biggest thing holding next-gen consoles back is that we haven’t seen a major change to the fundamental design of the controller in over a decade. It’s time for a major change to the way we play these games.

Everyone buying cyberpunk for series S will be playing the one S version until the next gen patch comes out sometime next year.

Microsoft confirmed that one X patches won't run on series S since it has less ram.

I don’t see anyone getting remotely as riled up about it ‘holding back next gen games’ as you have been dismissing this, but okay. Like literally every post about it has simply pointed it out, or posting said tweets, and the most that I’ve said is ‘it’s a shame that the system with no exclusives is the one that has the specs of a current gen console, so it’s unfortunate that this also affects PS5 games that are multi platform, potentially’

Devs probably won't targeting performance on PS4s, XBones or GTX970s in 2025, but they will be targeting the SeS. It remains to be seen how big a problem that'll be.

Has this been officially confirmed anywhere? Are X-only games definitely not a thing?


Imhotep posted:

The CPU and SSD alone take it way beyond XboneX, the RAM deficit is probably mitigated by the SSD (but it does impact back-compat). As for the GPU, it's not as clear if the better cores of the S make up for the more cores of the Bone but graphics are more than good enough already so :shrug:

Reminder that both the PS3 and base PS4 are supposedly 2 TF systems.

It's puzzling to me who or what the series S is for, since the selling point of 1440p/120hz gaming does not really jive with the specs whatsoever. You'll be lucky to hit 30fps on that machine, with current-gen games.

Yes. Microsoft maintain that if you're targeting 4k60 for the X, your game can hit 1080p on S with minimal effort. That's the line.

The reveal video showed Gears 5 running at 120fps on the S. The situation of the specs of the S is being muddied by people making speculative declarations without any firsthand knowledge.

Other benefits in the video included load times being an order of magnitude faster. The Series line is a step up from the One, even if the Series S doesn't get the 4K features that the One X had - because it's not a 4K machine.

How big a problem was it when in 2005 devs were targeting the 90% market share PS2 (half the RAM of an Xbox, omg!) instead of the clearly superior GameCube or Xbox? No problem at all, other than the single console owners being locked out of the exclusives. Same as it ever was.

That era isn’t a great example as cross play wasn’t exactly that big.

Like over time the distinction between Xbox and PlayStation has shrunk to a handful of exclusives but they are now mostly interchangeable
