XboxEra Community Hangout |OT12| The Dirty Dozen

IDK who even cares at this point. Series S will run Flight Sim, Fable and Hellblade 2 plus GTA6. We are nearly 4 years into this gen and Sony is still using PS4 assets from 2018 for Spider-man 2. The hell should we care about a game that looks worse then RDR2?

Not all developers are equal nor are all engines equal. It’s very asinine to want to load in the entire level into memory. They need to figure out how to work with zones and how to do streaming in of zones and assets.

So many other games exist which prove Series S is more than capable.

Also, as Jesse has said before, Wccftech is a content mill set on pumping out 50+ articles a day in hope of getting clicks.

In a time where increased scope is causing problems for AAA game development budgets

I would hate for you to feel pressure of giving something high scores because they’re a guest on the podcast and I would also hate for guests to expect good reviews because they gave you access to them, because that is also very shitty. They should be able to take any praise or criticism on the shoulder and improve on what you like or didn’t like.

isnt the map smaller in the sequel?

From an IGN interview:

“Yes, we have two maps now, each approximately the size of the first game. Yes, we will, of course, have more quests, cutscenes, random encounters and the like.”

So they said that they will make a game that will be 25% bigger than the first game due to Series S memory limitations but here they are saying that the game will have two maps each the size of the first game’s map…

How is KCD2 only 25% bigger if it has two KCD1 sized maps? I am confused. :roll_eyes:

“Everybody” is talking about Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 in forums last days, so they won.

That’s what matters after all

I looked at the original article, translated it to English and a direct quote by the dev isn’t even there. Only this

Perhaps the most interesting were the statements regarding the technical side. Klíma, like many other developers, mentioned the limitation of the Xbox Series S and its 10GB of memory. So Warhorse’s goal was to make the game 25% bigger, since XSS has 25% more memory than PS4/XONE.

And unless I’m misunderstanding things here this doesn’t sound even remotely like what Wccftech and GameRant are making their headline titles appear like. But of course lots of people eat it up and believe S really is holding back current gen. :roll_eyes:

It keeps working, so they’ll keep doing it. There’s no accountability or consequences, so it’s free money. Best to just ignore publications/outlets who’s entire business model is to manufacture bullshit.

Can this game be played solo?

Yes, you get bots to fill out your team. They’re not great but it’s better than nothing.

Hypercharge Unboxed has splitscreen which is rare nowadays. The game is already packed with modes and content. I don’t regret buying it day one.

To my understanding Playstation removed the “Marry the guardian” (that’s the player) and the “Marry the butler” endings, which I have no problems with. It’s there in the original game, and it’s still there in the Switch and PC editions.
