If they reconsider that parity stance then they would piss off all the big retailers, who would be saddled with Series S stock that most gamers will either avoid or tell others to avoid it. Not to mention potentially being opened up to a class-action suit.
You can drop into split screen at any point of a game already being played game, without having to go into a separate "split-screen" mode and restarted. You can go into split or non-slit on the fly.
Interesting.
well, it absolutely sold consoles (who knows what xbox sales would be right now without the series s). but, yeah, there was always gonna be a price to be paid...
If MS had a unified SKU, those resources would not be an issue.
He pretty much confirmed exactly what I said actually. They decided to release it later and allocated their resources to the other systems. Not only does this allow them to focus on the top selling console first and get it out on Sept 6th, but they don't lose much by waiting and releasing on Xbox later for the reasons I explained. I couldn't have possibly asked for a more direct quote confirming it.
Once again, if MS had just one SKU, it would release on time. The weaker SKU is giving them issues they don't have the resources for. Catch 22, bruh.
So Sony and MS just got into console gaming last gen?Everyone knows console gens only really start when the "Pro" versions come out. But at that point they're being held back by the regular versions
i think I briefly saw that theory, i actually thought it was legit.
Well sure in this case it's not a problem as they actually didn't release it along with PS5 version because they couldn't do it will the same features. Duh.
Baldur's Gate 3 Lead Says Xbox Series S Isn't Holding Back Current-Gen
Swen Vincke likened developing for the Xbox Series S to minimum spec PCs and the Nintendo Switch.www.thegamer.com
"Larian Studios CEO and Baldur's Gate 3 creative lead Swen Vincke says that "the platform is perfectly fine".
"Do I think it holds [gaming] back?" Vincke said in an interview with Skill Up. "It just defines certain parameters within which you have to develop. There are ways of doing that - it just takes development effort [...] Despite us having grown, we don't have infinite resources. That means we can't do everything at the same time."
Looks like more a question of resources.
They massively benefit launching on the same day as Starfield on the PS5. They get to try and inherit all the WRPG demand for Bethesda games and direct it towards their product on the best selling console. "Reading any articles on Starfield and want a WRPG? Buy our game." It's a great plan, and it's going to work well.
I get it, but I just don't see other professions going on Twitter to bitch about things that make their jobs harder. These devs are simply divas.
In fact, they will be released the same day on consoles.
Heh, Sony never really killed the PS4.
Bro, it's twitter, this does indeed happen. Everyone bitches on social media.
Well for one, there is no weaker PS5 console.
So...what you're saying is if the Series S didnt exisit...the PS5 and XSX version woulda still launched in Sept?
www.gamesradar.com
If they had infinite resources, they'd either have to think of a different reason to launch on XSX later, or launch on Sept 6th and sell a tiny, tiny fraction of what they could have, or launch all versions in August and miss this chance for extra publicity on Playstation. They'd have to pick. The way it is now, they win on all 3 versions.
Yeah you could be right. I never go on Twitter so Gaf is the only place I ever see them. So it seeming skewed makes perfect sense. I'm still not going to Twitter to find out though.
It is no where near the same.
The difference is, Sony doesn't force developers to take advantage of PRO features. Devs can only target base PS5 if they want to and it will work fine on the PS5 Pro.
Game can run just fine on a series s. the problem is with splitscreen coop which means the game has to run two instances of everything in the game. That could point to a CPU or RAM issue.
People really ignore how likely this would be
And PS5 Pro, like PS4 Pro, will be designed in order to not have memory limitations which is the real problem with those X1S games. If you don't want problem then you design your game for XSS reduced memory and scale that to XSX, PS5.
The court filings showed that MS undershipped the xsx to save the chips for their cloud servers. The XSS was already outselling the xsx back in 2021, it is probably 2:1 right now or roughly 66% of the overall userbase.
Hence buy up all the big third party publishers/IPs.
True, true!Hence buy up all the big third party publishers/IPs.
