THE AWESOME GHOST posted:This is super cool. I'm really impressed by MS dedication to BC I won't lie, I have a PC but it aged out of games mid last gen so it's cool to see some of this stuff I missed running well on gamepass The fact that regular load times in Dishonored went from over 40 seconds to less than 2 seconds is just as wild as the increase in frame rate, honestly. I was not expecting that kind of increase.

I've been playing the best rs siege of my life with the Xbox wireless headset so I guess I'm gonna keep it. Like 13 kill games and aces etc and I'm not that good.

If I had to guess, I'd guess something that was limited to a single process can run parallel on the "new" architecture.

Oh boy, big fat rumor, starfield gets revealed and released this year. Of course this means a ton of folks are already thinking it means it's "too late" for it not to be on ps5. Don't do that to yourselves.

Dishonored DE is simply not a very good port. Checked Giant Bomb's old quick look for the original game on 360 and it has the loading screen for the Distillery District, so I timed it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_dEYHGPM8SE&t=105s Xbox 360: 0:14:28 (Original release) Xbox One S: 0:36:24 (Definitive Edition) Xbox Series X: 0:01:36 (Definitive Edition) Cool how the load times more than doubled in the so-called "remaster".

Prey was amomg the worst loading game of last gen cause it would load once for the level, end, then load a second time for the objects or whatever and you crossed loading transitions constantly in the game.

Hulk Krogan posted:Good move tbh. Fallen Order on series X is like a whole new game. The only reason I finished fallen order was because I started it. Even without the god awful load times, there was so much that just didn't work, from the way respawn points worked to not knowing if something was climbable. Lots of long rear end trekking through areas you've been through already just to get back to your ship after a mission, a confusing waypoint/map system...it's been a while, but there was more I disliked about it, I'm certain. But it was a Star Wars game, which was cool.

Yeah, the one thing you can say for all the EA Star Wars games is they nail the look/sound/feel of Star Wars so thoroughly that you can forgive a lot of faults. The lack of any kind of fast travel in FO really sucks, but you also don't have to backtrack that much unless you're trying to collect all the ponchos or whatever. Having played through it a couple times, my biggest gripe is not being able to skip cut scenes on replay. Anyway, if you liked parts of Fallen Order but felt frustrated by its flaws, and you don't NEED the Star Wars setting, play Sekiro.

It's be a while since I've played it, so maybe that was it or I was missing something. But it's the only game i've played in a long time where I wanted to get to the end not to see how it finished (which was decent cause of the cameo) but just so I could be done with it once and for all.

Looks like it will only work for DirectX 11 and above, at least officially. That's still a lot of games.

lol, was checking stockinformer since Lammasu was mentioning stock stuff and just happened to load the page as an alert popped for a Series X appeared on the UK Microsoft store at 11.29. Managed to load it up, put it in the cart.... checkout says out of stock at 11:30. It's impossible to beat the bots.

Finally just got a Series X from Walmart.com, April 9 delivery. Got in at around 2:45 and hit refresh at 2:50 until the Add to Cart button popped up. Had my info already in and it went smoothly, page didn't freeze or spin or anything. I'm shocked it worked.
