Thats in one of their studios. The tweets and news about it have been posted on this forum multiple times already.

SSM right?

Uhm, as the Xbox studio that is working to be the experts in Mocap / Animations? The only SSM abbreviation I can think of is the Sony studio.

Yeah I meant Sony Santa Monica whose mocap studio I believe is the one utilized across PS studios and sometimes other 3rd party too

Not sure what you mean. Multiple Xbox Studios have access to a mocap studio. Below is an image of a new one built for Ninja Theory.

And even PS5 has a drop to like the 40s or so, no version is perfect. For now it’s understandable, small core team and the extra team obviously made sure the PS5 version was up to snuff. Now it’s on Striking Distance to bring Xbox on par. I’m already seeing comments here and there that because of the APi some stuff probably will not be easy to bring over to Xbox. I honestly have no idea what that means, but that I doubt. If other studios can…

If they will remains to be seen. PC seems priority now. Hope Xbox’s team can help out.

I really feel Hogwarts Legacy is gonna launch rough and the last gen versions at least will probably be broken and perform like trash

Hmmmm…that DF video is impressive. I’m tempted… just because the game looks so amazing for UE4. The characters are instantly recognizable and with great details and I’m a sucker for anything sci-fi. Even if the game is not a hit, it’s definetely a looker. They nailed the graphics and atmosphere. Too bad for the glitches, misses and frame drops on Xbox so maybe I should wait anyway.

Yeah even after the mixed reviews, that DF video makes me want to play it. Graphics are amazing!

It gives me that The Order 1886 vibe where the graphic is what motivates the purchase.

Calissto series x not worth getting until patch. Thry obviously difnt care to optimise it properly compared ps5

I think it’s clear they rushed this game to sabotage Dead Space Remake, especially being the first to bring back that sensation of the familiar atmosphere. It wouldn’t surprise me why people are more favorable or forgiving. Also, this feels like an act of war. It’s like their way of saying “I created you, and I can destroy you!” Remind me of the old ARMA vs. Operation Flashpoint or in a way Harvest Moon (USA) vs. Story of Seasons. Can they dethrone? We’ll see with the remake incoming.

They also built an Orlando mocap studio (ex EA guy) that helped with the matrix awakens demo. An expansion from undeas labs initial mocap studio.

And not every Xbox or PC users can afford low prioritized versions of the game on their preferred platform :woman_shrugging:

I don’t think it’s fair to say they didn’t care. Anyone who puts in the hours and effort to be a developer like this cares. As usual it’s likely an issue with time and resources. Like we’ve seen in the past, there’s a good chance they’ll fix the obvious graphical bugs (like missing RT reflections) and hopefully improve performance across the board.

At one point someone did not care that the state of the game on Xbox Series X and PC is not that great. Otherwise they would have delayed the release. Or they could have asked Xbox to help for example.

Did they ask for help or PS just step in for opportunity to make more money?

Well, Sony had the marketing rights for the game. So maybe they could not ask Xbox for help :man_shrugging:
