A rock solid 30 fps is fine for NFS Hot Pursuit, IMO. That's how it was made in the first place. 60 at 4k would have been nice, though. Of course, the only version that matters is Switch and nobody was like "I bet that'll run at 60fps"

Has any Need for Speed game ran at 60 fps on consoles? I don't think it's a priority for the franchise.

Actually Guess I never thought about it but I thought need for speed ran at whatever frames per second your miles per hour was at? So like, car goes 70mph your fps is 70. I thought it was the only way you could see the lane markers.

That would mean one frame is 45 centimeters high. Nolan didn't dream of projection like this!

Digital Foundry has a look at Series X and external storage solutions. The results aren't terribly exciting but I think most people will be relying on cold storage and external drives for a while. https://twitter.com/digitalfoundry/status/1314566536032641027 quote:As you might expect, the mechanical hard drive does not fair that well at all, but the difference between the SATA and NVMe units is interesting. In terms of raw write speeds, the NVMe drive is predictably quicker, but more curious is the fact that when it comes to read speeds (where we copied Modern Warfare 2019 back from the external storage to the internal drive), the gap closes significantly. quote:Ultimately, I came away pleasantly surprised by the results. The hype surrounding next generation solid state drives has reached a fever pitch, but the bottom line is that it's going to be low level access via the Xbox Velocity Architecture that really sees the SSD reaching its full potential. With the existing library of Xbox games, we're looking at results similar to what we see on PC - an accelerant, and a wonderful one when paired with the huge leap in CPU decompression performance, but what we're seeing here really does suggest that the internal drive or indeed the bespoke £220/$220 external SSD is not really a must for your current library of Xbox games - you'll do just fine with a USB alternative, be it SATA or USB-based in nature.

oh digitalfoundry...quote:You see, there's one disadvantage to the next-gen dream. Storage space on the internal solid state drive is at a premium - Xbox Series X ships with 802 useable gigs on the 1TB drive. On the one hand, that's actually an improvement over the 781GB of Xbox One X's 1TB HDD (my theory: Microsoft uses its hardware decompression engines to reduce the OS footprint, the console decompressing system files on demand). quote:older Xbox titles cannot access the low level SSD APIs that truly revolutionise storage performance, so it may well be the case that keeping old games on the new drive is actually a sub-optimal use of the space anyway. i was thrown off by their focus on the read/write differential when transferring games between drives. sure it's important for cold-storage concerns, but i didn't see anything to indicate they did any qualitative analysis to make sure their benchmarks are comparable. when it gets to the loading time comparison they grab ff15 a title well known for its very bizarre performance characteristics, and rise of the time raider, etc shows why. i still don't get why they're going with what looks to be an average loading time after describing variance rather than putting a box plot together like anyone else does their final conclusion of interface quality affecting peak performance would be a novel find, except it highlights a lack of experience in testing near the cutting edge and how oyu can't just swap random off-the-shelf components around and call it an analysis. i'll go watch the video but this article really doesn't sit right with me at all e: from the video the emphasis on "xbox velocity architecture and low-level ssd apis" not being accessible to back-compat games... doesn't really make much sense to talk about rather than what i mentioned above and clouds the core system transfer examples by implying it has those limitations as well Wiggly Wayne DDS fucked around with this message at 16:16 on Oct 9, 2020 |

Wario sends out links to store pages before they are searchable on the stores themselves. Short of becoming a scalper with a bot army he's your best bet to get a heads up

Falconeer offers 120FPS mode which is great, if I owned a TV capable of either the resolution or the framerate on offer. More interesting is that the loadtime is 13 seconds on X|S versus 42 on the One S Im gonna end up owning this game I feel it.

I have been trying really hard to pre-order a PS5, and I keep an eye on Xbox Series X as a result. If you did not pre-order when they first went live at retailers, then you're not getting either system until launch day at the earliest. You'll maybe be able to walk into a retail store, or order online on that day if they have new stock, but chances are you aren't getting either system for awhile. Both companies way over estimated how many systems they'll actually have available this year.

You'll always be able to get a console on launch day. It just depends on how rural of a neighborhood you live in and how long you're willing to wait at the store.

I didn’t get to the part where I waited in line at bestbuy for about 1.5 hours in -10 C and then they came out and gave us sheets of paper that said congrats you get to buy a switch come back in 2 hours (leave). I got Zelda with mine

I’m sure there will be other waves of availability before launch. If not, then in the days/weeks after launch. I’ve never seen a console stay sold out for long, except the wii around Christmas time way back when. There were a lot less digital options and stock finding resources back then though

I just overpaid for a switch bundle in release which came with ARMS and some useless travel case. I then sold ARMS because it was not a very good game and bought Zelda a much worse game. At least the Switch has a good copy of Doom and Doom 2 on it.

So for some reason my Game Pass app can't find my Xbox One S. I can't remotely download games from it. This wouldn't be a problem but the download 5 games quest is worth 100 points this month so it's annoying me. I've done all the trouble shooting suggested in the FAQ to the best of my ability but nothing has worked. This is driving my OCD crazy.
