XboxEra Community Hangout |OT11| It Goes To 11!

Those are pretty high system requirements and reinforces my doubt about the 60fps mode on consoles. I think it will basically be an unlocked frame rate but nowhere near locking to 60fps.

Probably similar to Plague Tale.

You’re saying no to something I didn’t say

Have they ever mentioned 60fps? All I’ve seen them say is ā€œperformance modeā€ which is not the same as 60

Haha, would be funny to see how many got past Act one in BG3 before the review was out… Frauds, the lot of em.

Puha says that a post detailing resolutions and framerate will follow soon, but when replying to one comment asking if the Performance mode will be unlocked with a 60fps target or feature a ā€œtrue 60fps lock [the] majority of the timeā€, Puha said the team is ā€œstill tweaking that.ā€ It’s also unclear if the Xbox Series S will include the Performance mode or not, as Puha has only specified the Xbox Series X and PS5, so we’ll need to wait for those details.

So yes they have if they say it will lock to 60 most of the time. I am basically expecting a Jedi Survivor situation.

Does it have proper sidequests or are we collecting backpacks and doing weird ass rooftop reasearch stations again?

It’s literally PS4 graphics at 1400p + raytracing.

Basic stuff mostly. Just had a side quest where two guys are doing fireworks on a roof but as you get there, it blows up in their faces, one guy is hurt and you have to take him to the hospital but the guy tells you where he bought the fireworks and that some guys have serious weapons which is where im at now. Maybe a little something different but im not expecting any of the side content to be anything really good. If it changes, I’ll let you know.

One major change - seems like the ā€œcrimesā€ are random and just keep appearing as it’s not listed as an activity for any region. As if there wasn’t enough of these the last two games, they made them keep appearing. I get it, we’re playing as Spider Man and he should be saving people but I would have liked to maybe have like a story quest line like in Tsushima, Faction quests in Starfield or some of The Witcher 3 side quests like Bloody Baron but so far, they’re all just activities.

Few games do, but this was honestly the weakest aspect of the first game, so had hoped they improved it quite a bit.

Thus far, nope. But in fairness, im only 4+ hours in and there’s some stuff in every region that’s still locked and opens up as you progress the story.

I’m awaiting for my gaming armchairā„¢ to come back from repair to start playing Spider-Man 2

Mario Wonder is cool though

Uff, that looks rough for the console versions.

Thanks Series S for forcing devs to optimize their games more for performance.

I am gonna target 40 fps on my 4070! Hope to get upto 1440p RT

Fable Legends was gorgeous graphically on the og ā€œVCRā€ vanilla model before the One X was even a thought. It wasn’t too bad gameplay wise either other than the unneeded mode where one player is the villain or whatever.

Funny to think this was going to be among the first push on GaaS and then it was cancelled. Then out came SoT and convinced them that it’s okay.

Yeah, this really does not sound like a 10 by any means, indeed. I’ve the story already isn’t that long, so you’d hope the side content is great. That they have actually improved on the weaker aspects of the first game, that would warrant giving it more points.

And bugs? Are the people who have these just unlucky or did you encounter them too? I’ve seen some pretty bad stuff today and it wasn’t just one user either. I can’t imagine not ONE of these big name review sites didn’t have these bugs. I mean if sites want to dump on Cyberpunk and other games, then I want them to keep the same energy for this too. But they didn’t.

Didn’t digital foundry say that nothing even comes close in their video?
