I was thinking about that game the other day and could not remember what the hell it was called.

And when I say "Thinking about" I mean I was stoned and watching something about Balan and remembered "Didn't Squeenix put out that weird terrible game like two or three years ago that was just as baffling as this for different reasons?"

xbox has a rep currently on the bench being questioned as it's a question about the gaming market at large. most of the commentary is kept to the epic games store thread unless it's relevant to xbox at large

Psychonauts 2 is up for preload on console, and judging from the file size, it's the full game and not a placeholder. Must be pretty close to release.

If Sony pulls out of the Show multiplatform deal, I wouldn't care. This is exactly what I was hoping would happen, though I was expecting the MLB to make the move themselves. Still, way more excited for SMB4 than whatever comes next for the show.

Well, there is this: "Note: Consistency of target framerate & resolution is dependent on platform. The more powerful the hardware the more consistently you will experience the specified target framerate & resolution."

So the choice still matters for those that prioritize framerate on the PS, even if the limit is the same.

Easy Allies review said that the PS5 version hit the 60fps mark and stayed there, so long as you have raytracing turned off. Turned on and the frame rate apparently dips well below 30fps a lot.

I assume you're talking about Resident Evil? DF's video showed Ray Tracing absolutely trashed the framerates and I couldn't really see much of a graphical difference.

quote:

For anyone curious as to why there is no 120FPS on PS5 it is due to technical limitations with BC games running on the system. It is likely not because of a hardware limitation (no way to actually tell without a full PS5 version but it almost certainly could). Developers can't add features not present for the PS4 (in this case 120FPS support)b therefore, to implement them would require a full PS5 native version. Same is true with Warzone,
Rocket League, Overwatch, and several others. And because the titles are still in Unreal Engine 3, there is little reason to make a native version for PS5 or XSX as very few features could be gained.

Does the fact that Resident Evil Village shows up on this site https://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/xbox-play-anywhere mean I can buy it once and play it on PC/Xbox series x? I don't see it explicitly say this anywhere on REVIII's page so I'm suspect.

Hmm, weird, it does not show up for me on that list. Also does not show up on the actual game's Xbox product listing: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/resident-evil-village/9mw7mfv29cmf

So I wouldn't trust that it has this, even though RE7 did.

Yes, hopefully the PC version uses DLSS because that is the only way really to have ray-tracing be usable, even with the new Nvidia cards.

loving lol at the court stuff. Cool seeing Microsoft seemingly having fun with this debacle they've been roped into while Sony desperately tries to hide all their sleazy dealings. That crossplay stuff has put me off renewing PS+ in the future. As for the case in general though I'm hoping Epic loses just to put an end to their nonsense and hopefully they go back to just making games. Used to be one of my favorite developers (Unreal Tournament :swoon:) but ever since Fortnite became huge it's sucked seeing what they've become. That and the new UT being canned when it was shaping up so well :smith:

Real hurthling! posted:

they should do a chief/marcus buddy crossover game.

Killer Instinct 2! They had Arbiter & General Raam in the first and it was basically the Xbox version of Smash so they need to make a sequel. Apparently the new game by the devs isn't a fighter though so we could be waiting a while. I'd like to see them maybe experiment with making a team-based sequel, either 2v2 or 3v3. They could find some fun and ridiculous things to do with combos with a tag system imo and it could stand alongside the original and compliment it rather than being a strict replacement. They need to do more cross-studio stuff in general as well because the KI announcer really should be an option in Gears of War multiplayer at the very least.

Just remembered that now they own Bethesda they could get the Doom guy and Corvo from Dishonored in KI as well. We need a sequel :negative:

Kinda related but RE Village says smart delivery and compatible with the One & Series consoles on the store page, so I assume buying the game on One X will have it work and also update to the next gen version on the Series X when that's available? Just double checking I'm not getting it confused with BC features. Thinking I might snag the combo pack of Village & RE7 and hopefully snag a Series X by the time I'm done with RE7.

In other news a new video of Shadow Warrior 3 has been released and it's confirmed for old gen consoles, which is a really weird choice because the gameplay reveal looked very technically impressive. This just shows an arena fight but yeah, they're going very Doom-y and it looks fun as heck:
