Except it’s on 3 platforms? Series X, Series S and PC. How the hell can they make that claim???

Starfield is a better game because its exclusivity allowed more focus on quality, Todd Howard says

It's not particularly well optimized for XSX or PC, and it's not like there is a wealth of accessibility features and customization. So not a super strong endorsement.
Also, I think Phil Spencer brandishing a gun at him from the corner of the room diluted the message a bit.

It's same thing with ff16.
Developers like less platforms as it means less work for them.
Working on all platforms makes it hard to reach the deadline.
Cyberpunk 2077 suffered from that issue (Xbox one, PS4, Xbseries,PS5, and PC).

My guess there's some orcastrated 'brand ambassador' campaign going on trying to drown out some of the negativity.

Awful lot of walking and talking in Starfield. It's third person with a photo mode too.

The lack of bugs and performance shows this. The game is f-ing amazing
You’re linking to stuff that certainly doesn’t support what you’re saying.
…and it could have been more.

Maybe that because there wasn't an effort to make every topic on page 1 about the game when it was released.Didn't square said the same thing about FFXVI being exclusive to Ps5? Why it is now a big deal?
Some dolt already bragged every new topic was about the game a week or so ago like it was a good thing.
Terrible post, I actually expect a lot better from you as a poster

No.. but if the bullshit he said was true, than making it exclusive should have given more reasons to optimize the game properly for the series X and give a perfomance mode with 60 fps.
But between this and "creative visions" I think Todd has found a good house and company in Ms and Phil spencer

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?

Should been 15 fps for ultimate cinematic experience
I’ve just been reminded by this of the bottom-of-the-barrel last minute Starfield hype thread (no 1,235) - posted less than an hour before reviews were due - where we were shown a leaked internal email from Todd to the studio saying how amazing the game was and how smart and quite handsome and Phil Spencer was.
I feel quite nostalgic for that thread now.

Because on consoles, the majority of sales would come from Playstation.
Total sales would probably be double of what it is now if there would be a PS5-version.

So, if it had just been made for Series X it would have been a 10/10, instead of an 8?

Isn't this game on PC too?
Call me crazy, but I don't think anyone can call anything with a simultaneous release on PC and console... exclusive. I mean... PC is kinda the most anti-exclusive platform there is.

Most polished in release, sure. However they also spent the most time at 8 years, fallout 4 is about 4 years dev time. Also the vanilla game is worse compared to their past few releases other than fallout 76. Sense of exploration is gone with one sided moral companions. Now that I finished most of the game I just wanna install skyrim and even fallout 4 with mods and not touch this again after all expansions and more mods are out. Still, I don't know if modders can fix that exploration feel that their games are used to great at. Perhaps someone can somehow add seamless landing and really enhance the procedural generation by 10x to make planets exploration fun.

Well FF16 was an exclusive so it’s not the same thing. Xbox doesn’t have platform exclusives because they have 3 different things they program for everytime

Yeah, imagine if it had been built from the ground up only for XSX. But it wasn't

Nope.
With that engine, it will still be an 8.
If they have made the game on new engine, it would have been one of the best games (since no loading and no barrier limitations). And most importantly, we will have land vehicle.

Considering the scale of this game, all platforms would have been very challenging for them.
It will be Skyrim but with more bugs and unstable frame rate.
Even with these platforms, the game can't go above 30 fps and has a lot of bugs, specifically late end bugs which can break quest lines.

Pretty sure if they had been making the game for one platform, they could have squeezed much more out of it in terms of performance and game mechanics.
Because…

The Switch is a potato.
Developing for one platform always means more can be squeezed out of it, regardless of engine. That’s why first party exclusives always are technically the best.

Starfield makes me want that (rumored) Oblivion remake real bad.

Consoles don't make the game, it's engine that does it.
Creation engine is an old dated engine. There is certain things that you can't do with that engine. Climbing a ladder was hard before they upgrade it.
Even if you make a game on switch, it will still be a potatoes.

Did Xbox force him to make that statement? Is he being held at gunpoint?
