Avowed Runs at 30fps on Xbox Series X and S, Obsidian Confirms

Well enjoy your baked lighting paired with old and cheap SSAO coverage or "hero lighting" so games can get 60fps on old hardware. The industry has moved on to raytraced lighting as a default and I'm all for it. Just like with Cyberpunk if you see Nvidia involved then the PC is the primary platform.

More useless buzzwords.
The game looks like shit on PC as well. An nvidia partnership doesn't automatically make something look good. Nvidia partnered with Redfall ffs.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
The price for the UE5 suite.
Wish there was a non-Lumen 'performance' mode. Let's see if they can still add one between now and launch.
Ah well, still day 1.

A sticker on the box is the best I can do.

It should, but Microsoft continues to treat their console customers like second rate citizens.
Doesn’t matter how good the VFX are - if they smear and stutter and cause a headache as soon as you move the controller stick.

Avowed Can Be Played In Third-Person, Obsidian Confirms
Obsidian confirms that Avowed can be played in third-person, even if trailers have focussed on first-person gameplay.

Xbox is a shitshow.

Devs these days really don't know to develop and optimize games.
Guess the patch for 60fps will come later. Just like usually happens.

Using UE5 and not optimising very well is high art, reminiscent of Michelangelo painting the Sistine Chapel.

They should have just made Pillars of Eternity 3 instead of this. I loathe the impact that MS has had on RPGs where once great RPG firms make more and more ridiculous crappy choices instead of sticking to the formula of *just make a fucking RPG fools*.
Bethesda started dumbing everything down in Oblivion -> Skyrim -> Starfield now we get Obsidian completely wasting an entire dev cycle.
At least we have Owlcat and Larian that seem to be immune to this "all rpgs need to be FPS games now, hurr duur" crap
What a waste of time.

So true. Phil sits there and says they need to do better by their console customers but the actual evidence points to nothing but a PC focus and getting the console version out the door to sort later.
I can't believe they don't see how much this kind of messaging affects the perception of their business.

Have said this several times here but Phil is the guy who greenlit the first Halo Infinite trailer that gave us CraigIt should, but Microsoft continues to treat their console customers like second rate citizens.
Ybarra said when him and Spencer got their screening Mike actually chuckled and thought they were being punked after all that money spent and literally asked where the real trailer was
Phil said it looks good and send it and Mike told him they couldn't show that
Well guess what they showed it and after butting heads with Phil awhile Mike is currently out of the video game business (after sending him to Blizz to help with, well you know the rest)

I've seen Redfall cited here as a similar case, but I'd actually like to remind people that for all that game's issues, Arkane actually pledged to do a 60 fps mode later on in the same tweet (which they did deliver on).
However, these guys are telling you flat out that you don't need that performance mode, which kinda tells you that either they don't think they can do it, or that they just won't.

Redfall will only do 30 fps on Xbox consoles, and people are starting to worry
Arkane says a "performance mode" option enabling 60 fps will be released later, but that won't help on launch day.

It isn't the worst offense. Just say they will be working on a 60fps patch when announcing 30fps at launch. Saying it was a choice for 30fps for Starfield opened them to mockery. Honesty works

Yeah.....nothing surprises me about Phil Spencer anymore. I mean.....look at his track record on frame rates. He went from this.....
GC: What also frustrates me is that the only number I do care about is the only that you and Sony don’t obsess over. Which is 60fps, which I understand is easier to do on the Xbox One X than any other console.
PS: That’s correct. But… [laughs] Why do you care about 60fps?
Phil Spencer Xbox One X interview - 'Most people just want to go play games'
GameCentral talks to the boss of Xbox about the new console and its upcoming games, as well as flying reptiles and C64 classic Uridium.

To this.....
"People love 60 frames-per-second games, so getting games to run at 4K 60 [FPS] I think will be a real design goal for us."
Xbox Series X Won't Just Have Prettier Graphics
The next generation of Xbox will have games that do more than just look good.

To releasing Redfall and then Starfield and then Hellblade 2 and now Avowed.......all missing 60fps at launch on Xbox Series X.
Guy I know calls him a "used car salesman". Yep....that's about right.

why being shocked, why make drama?
a. We know this is Xbox. An incompetent publisher always overpromising and underdelivering....L after L after L
b. Xbox as a platform is dead. just wait for the PS5 port and if they don't manage this game to run at 60FPS there, well...their "Business" will continue to suck ass.

Voting with my wallet on this one, and by that i mean not even downloading it, their monthly users seem more important than sales to them.

Series S, sure. But if they can’t get 60 on Series X, what makes you think they can get it there on PS5?

Didn't you hear?
System Parity is Xbox blood. No gamer left behind.
So we will have System Parity between Series S, Series X...
and Series PC, since PC is Xbox or so they say.
Jk, but imagine if Series S parity was enforced there, the lols we would have
No gamer left alive.

I’m sure they will announce a 60fps mode at a future showcase.
“We hear the feedback “
“We are learning”
“Community “
“Teams”
Biggest fakes out of the three platforms by far.

OUCH! These graphics aren't even anything to write home about either. That is abysmal for a game like this.
Can't wait to play this on my Xbox PC.

God bless the souls of the poor bastards playing this at launch including who knows how many bugs while the rest wait for that sweet, sweet 60 fps patch for the PS5 launch.

They didn’t learn they can target 45fps for an experience much closer to 60FPS than 30FPS?
