I agree completely. It makes it look and feel like Microsoft cares more about the competitor’s platforms than they do their own. A few games go to PlayStation and all of a sudden have physical copies coming and Pentiment running at 120FPS while the Xbox version was stuck at 60FPS for almost a year and a half is why a lot of Xbox fans have simply had enough. Shit is ridiculous. SMFH.
For PS4, this would be October/November/December 2016 right? If so, PS4 had the Slim at $300 and Pro at $400. I know because I traded in the base 2013 launch PS4 I had and put the credit towards the PS4 Pro. PS5 is $450/$500 so basically $50-$200 more depending on if you’re comparing the PS4 Slim or the Pro to the PS5.
You really think casual gamers spend hours on X arguing about the refresh rate of Pentiment? The way X works is exactly the same principle as mobile games where whales are the big spenders and make those companies so much money; the people actively going on about stuff on X is also a vocal minority.
That’s quite a stretch to be honest. Why would you even push the narrative that Obsidian went above and beyond to keep Pentiment running worse on Xbox, this is getting ridiculous to be honest. If someone’s had enough because of this I don’t even know what to say.
And why would a company do that and sabotage a game they have made on purpose? That’s not how businesses work, if the product is good to go there’s no reason no to put it out.
A lot of people also seem to forget the games were ported by different studios to the other platforms. No one knows why Obsidian didn’t implement 120fps in the first place, maybe they had their reasons, maybe they didn’t see a need to. Were animations even rendered in 120hz? Did the porting studio actually do extra work for this and Obsidian had to implement it themselves on Xbox and it was considered less of a priority?
This is getting tiring, you guys are all pointing fingers at the most ridiculous shit I’ve ever seen, making assumptions without any proof, acting like Xbox all of a sudden has nothing when they’ve actually got the most first party games coming out this year of any platform holder, have had an incredible start of the year with Palworld, and have most likely their best year actually about to happen this generation so far.
How this van attract so much negativity in this thread is beyond comprehension. I read some of the posts in here and I sometimes wonder if people actually think before they even write anything as it sound as bad if not worse than what people like RedDragon post on X and I’m not even exaggerating.
For people who apparently enjoy MS and it’s first parties I now feel like this board is just being invaded by trolls from IconERA.
They’ll still have 100m consoles sold by end of this gen imo. They’re at 55m at around half point of this gen, and I think they have momentum to reach number. The PS5 is the go to console for people looking for a high end gaming console. Plus, many want to play with friends, so they’ll get a PS5 to play with friends.
They hadn’t touched the game since launch, during a port to PS5 and Switch they got it up to 120fps and went to do that on Xbox as well. Please calm down with this type of over the top rhetoric.
You’re ignoring the “growth” that we are talking about. Companies want to grow, not stay stagnant.
For real. This is the main crux of the people here complaining about Pentiment being 120 fps on PS5, but not on Xbox consoles. It isn’t that the game is unplayable, but it’s bad optics and bad PR, which Xbox has in droves. It is also a bad precedent to have one of your games, whether due to a bug or anything else, perform best on a competing console.
If it happened to a bigger game that gets ported, say Starfield (hypothetically), it sure as shit would be seen as a big deal. It isn’t just okay because it’s Pentiment. Also, Playstation already has dualsense features, which already makes it more enticing, especially for a game like Hi-Fi Rush.
I don’t understand how anybody can sit there and just shrug it off. As an isolated incident, it’s dumb, but not that big of a deal. Combined with the negative sentiment around Xbox as a brand and the constant negative PR that follows Xbox, it just can’t happen.
“if it was Starfield” ignores the entire context of the situation. It wasn’t a big deal because the game was supposed to go 120fps on both systems but got bugged on Xbox. It’s not a big deal and I swear to christ there’s a constant 4 or 5 people in the is thread that are looking for every bit of “bad discourse” to point out and complain about.
What bad discourse this good be, stupid pr! Yes because people like you focus on it non-stop, unlike 99.9% of the people who play videogames. This thread is going on a permanent cooldown. The mods can’t take it anymore, there are dozens if not hundreds by now that have put this thread on mute. It is a toxic cess pool that is driving out any legitimate criticisms.
Hello everyone, I hate green text posts too. This thread is going on three months of a few loud voices constantly drowning out valid criticisms. None of our incredibly small pool of moderators wants to deal with it anymore. If you want to complain about this topic it stays in here, trying to take it outside of this thread is against the TOS.
If you have an issue with this please feel free to take it up with XboxEra staff or forum moderators in a DM.
To those suggesting that consoles only have 1 - 2 generations left, I just don’t see it.
Not only do the majority of the world’s internet connections have to speed up, but the amount of usage needs to be massively increased. Look at Geforce Now - you can use up to 13gb per HOUR on that service and even first world countries do not always have unlimited usage with fast connections.
There’s no chance these lazy IP’s will upgrade to unlimited for all in the next 20 years. Dedicated consoles will be around for far longer than 2 generations.
What a truly embarrassing thread, muh Pentiment 60fps and the damage to the brand, it was embarrassingly bad before now it’s even worse
Stop caring what a minority of random dumbass fanboys say, stop worrying so much about brands, stop being so insecure and getting worked up over shit that doesn’t matter and go touch some grass or perhaps even play some video games instead of getting further embroiled in console war garbage because lets be honest, that all this pretty much is at this point
While I understand the debate is okay, the vibe felt more like “Xbox is bad. You should feel bad. If you don’t agree with me, then F U.” instead of agree to disagree.
See you all in 8hours
