Peoples have started to get the copies to review it. Embargo is February 13th.

Apparently Xbox series X will have 30/40/60 fps mode, good news for 60 fps!
Series S with 30/40

Excellent stuff, lots of concerns of this being 30fps only a few months back should be cleared up now.

Not really mate, there were rumours, and i think from devs themselves.. that the game targets 30fps, what to do that some of us can't tolerate 30fps anymore, so that's great to hear.
 
Really excited for this one. Looks a lot more my cup of tea over KCD2.

Hope it is a hit for Obsidian.
 
Xbox Series S probably only sold 10 million units.
Will probably be turned into a handheld in 2 years.
But who will buy it?
 
Great news. I can tolerate 30fps in a slower game like Hellblade 2 but it wouldn't be as playable with all the spells and shit lighting up the screen.
 
Awesome. Hopefully the 40 and 60 fps modes are both stable as well. If so, then this'll be very impressive for an open world UE5 game running on a $500 box.

They are at ~32 million for both? That means that ~24 million of those consoles are Series S, going by the last official number of split they revealed in those slides at the indie game dev event some years ago. 75% of the consoles sold (then), when they were at 20 million +, were Series S.

Is this confirmed? Idk who exatas1s is

Officially confirmed no

extas1s is a pretty good non-englisher leaker with a solid track record. He was saying for the xbox direct that the 4th game he thinks would most likely be a new ninja gaiden. He leaked dates for Octopath traveller 2, call of duty MW3, crash bandicoot trilogy, Atlas fallen, on gamepass sometimes weeks /months+ in advance.

The reddit source earlier in the day, which is what the title screen screenshot came from. He says he's reviewing the game, and earlier in the day had said the video modes and then deleted it 1h later, now he says that he can't answer these questions anymore, probably remembered the NDA..

Existas is citing a reddit thread as his source without linking it.

Let's wait for another source to verify this, don't want to blow my horn too loud and have it turn out to be a nothingburger later.

This is true. That being said, the hate this game got for no particular reason is undeserved.
 
All games should have a 60 fps mode. Even if visuals and res are really dumbed down, give gamers choice.

If devs can figure out how to make a PC game across a million configs, endless sliders and on/off toggles letting PC gamers tweak frames to the dime, I'm sure they can figure out how to do 30/60 options, or gasp...... 30/40/60 options as if it's the hardest thing to do on earth.

If you have a 120/40Hz capable TV and you're stuck with a Series S you're doing it wrong.

People these days play with their consoles on 1080p/1440p high refresh rate monitors, it's a pretty common setup. If you think main XSS target are people with modern TVs because it has HDMI 2.1 features you should give some gaming setups videos a watch on YouTube, many workspace rebuilds videos have a PS5 or any other console in the desk with Mac for work, etc.

Couch gaming with big screen is a luxury mostly bound old or wealthy people since desk + console + 24" to 27" high refresh rate monitor is a pretty cheap and popular setup even with millennials these days.

40 fps is actually tolerable.

40 FPS is more than tolerable, it's fantastic. On paper it sounds like the gap between 30 to 40 is smaller than 40 to 60, but the frame time falls perfectly in the middle of 30 and 60.

I would love it if 40fps was way more common than it currently is.

You can mostly thank 1st party Sony devs for it being an option (console) in the first place. Credit where credit is due.

The S is a very obvious place to implement it though. MS need to lead from the front on it, and it seems they are starting to. You can probably thank DF for it, not joking, sometimes it seems MS listens to a very narrow band.
