XboxEra Community Hangout |OT9| Waiting for Developer_E3

I can sympathize with devs having to spend more time and resources to optimize for Series S, but pretending like last gen they didn’t also have to optimize for 4 console skus, hundreds of PC configurations, and sometimes Switch. If they have to build around Series S as a target, that’s already an incredibly advanced target in every way compared to PS4, if you want to complain about SS limiting you from targeting high-end hw, then might as well complain about PS5/XSX limiting you from targeting high-end PC hardware, why not complain about having to build around AMD GPUs on PC, or low-spec RTX cards…

Developers are getting paid for that though. It is not like they are doing optimizations for free.

But every time a person is saying that “Series S is bad”, every time the launched game runs like crap :man_shrugging: And then it is fixed with patches.

I blame PC gaming for the elitism.

Where I live the PCMR and Cultists are banding together pushing the narrative that the Series S is holding back the entire industry this gen.

The Cultists latest spin is that this will mean that PS5 will have a huge advantage as more games will be exclusive as it is easier to develop for a single console. It will also mean that first party PS games will go far beyond what Xbox can make as they are handicapped by the Series S, which will guarantee PS dominance.

My reply would be “Cool! Have fun with that!”, and then I would walk away and never listen to those people ever again. :smile:

re showcase is starting

Well before the generation started some people legitimately believed PS5 will have special versions of 3rd party games that are more advanced in their structure and have no loading screens while Xbox Series X will have a version less complex and has loading screens and all that last-gen stuff.

Kind of hard when it is most of the gaming community.

So digital soundrack is a RE4 pre-order bonus for PSN store?

By the way, didn’t I am fish have a Switch release too? So why not also complain about Switch then? I mean, even more hardware to have to port and “optimise” for.

RE4 looks great

But where is my GODDAMN LASER SIGHT, why they keep using that generic ass crosshair is beyond me

This feels like a wrestler who begin to bash the big company, only to still fail in other promotion. Basically, only talk, but no walk.

Do we know if it will have cross save with PC? There’s almost 0 chance I will play a 100 hour game, but if I can speed that up a bit with trainers on PC and go back to Xbox I might consider it.

RE4 is day one for me. The original was one of my favorite games of all time

While I still think RE4 remake isn’t necessary since it really has that timeless mechanic, I can’t wait for the game. I have to agree with one comment here, I wish they kept the laser dot aim. Gives that immerse feeling. Oh well.

But i thought the PCMR is now playing on Steam Deck…

Btw starting next year 3rd party devs will also have to target Switch 2. And this thing will have worse specs than Potatoseries S.

I think they are the minority.

Is RE4 gonna be on XB1 too?

The laser sight is still in apparantly, its something you can trade for with the merchant
