The funny thing about the next-gen gaming is everyone automatically assume next-gen means 60+ FPS and/or 4K resolution (mostly former). When you think about it, Xbox has been presenting actual next-gen feature starring with Flight Simulator using Azure for gameplay fidelity. Here, they’re using a tech that is incredibly demanding that this is among the first game that required SSD only.
Honestly, I’m glad that we’re exploring more of next-gen possibilities that isn’t simply graphic fidelity or smooth gameplay. I’m not saying no one should do basic development, but something unheard of is definitely ambitious. Honestly, if the game hits the bullseyes with its feature, we will be looking at an actual game that can be deemed as “ahead of its time.”

This is exactly me, I have never played Skyrim or any other Bethesda RPG and was super sceptical. But the 45 min deep dive was so freaking amazing I ordered the controller and the Premium Add On Bundle. I love when games get you dreaming about the possibilities. Only very few games can do that. Starfield is one of those games.

The 30 fps is what it is & there’s nothing I can do about (save for investing in a new & expensive PC… which I don’t want to do because I don’t even like PC gaming).
So as preparation for Starfield I’m playing Fallout 4 on the Series X with fps boost & auto hdr disabled. I’m getting that locked 30 fps (on an oled tv as well)… & you know what? I got used to it surprisingly quickly.
It does show that it’s very easy to become a tad overly obsessive about fps & graphics settings to the detriment of just straight-up fun (hence why I never enjoyed PC gaming tbh).

Depending on what brand OLED you got, you could try motion interpolation options. For some games it can work. I had it working fairly well in RDR2, with some weird blur effects here and there.

Panasonic JZ980, with my Series X set to 120hz mode & the “4K 120hz bypass mode” enabled in the tv picture settings (which fixes a prior issue with Panasonic tv’s not display 4K in 120hz mode).
It can get super complicated, especially as Panasonic inserts game mode into every tv setting, i.e. I can pick filmmaker mode for example & game mode is still enabled within that picture preset. I game on Professional 1 though (which is like filmmaker mode, except the image brightness is set to 60 instead of 30).
It’s the most ‘vanilla’ tv setting I can get with all motion interpolation disabled & game mode enabled. The tv can be super quirky as well with not allowing motion interpolation settings depending on some variables (& tbh I don’t really screw around this those settings much).
But in any case that ‘raw’ 30 fps on a 120hz Oled tv (& 120hz enabled in the Xbox settings) is something I’ve gotten use to for as long as the most important setting is changed: reduce camera sensitivity in the game settings. This is the most important thing to do in a first person game running at 30 fps IMO.

I wonder how is the game going to look on the Series S. Upgrading to a Series X is not my top priority.

1440p 30fps. I believe they are keeping everything in the 4k 30fps on Series X. Series S just has lower resolution.

I will buy the Elite Version ASAP. I don’t need another Standard controller I can’t go back to them after using the Elite.

I suspect it will also have some nips and tucks with level of detail as well but nothing too dramatic. I suspect it will look pretty comparable at a glance.
Yeah as a Series S owner, I want to make sure that kind of stuff isn’t too dramatic. If it is only visual downgrades and not gameplay stuff like NPC density, then I’m all good. Otherwise I would feel the need to get a Series X before buying the game.

Todd said that Starfield apparent runs great on Series S
If they keep it locked at a stable 30 FPS at 1440p itll likely the most technically impressive game on the Series S

I’m kind of shocked it’s 1440p on Series S . That seems like a bigger deal than people are making of it.

Makes you wonder if they might have any underwater stuff, probably not but who knows. But there sure are some cool creatures.

Highly doubt it. The game is doing enough haha
Maybe, while there’s not a lot of stuff, Fallout 4 has a massive underwater area.
