Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't consoles closer to PCs than from the sixth generation? I know there's still the Xbox One and PS4 to account for, but the Xbox Series S should be closest to a mid range PC. If developers were smart, they'd aim for framerate over fidelity and use the Series S as a starting point.
I can buy that it's more painful to deal with than it seems. The amount of memory is different between the two models and the speed of that memory is also very different. Ideally the XboxS should be like the Switch in handheld mode, but it's not.
 
Pretty much. I can't believe it's entering its 3rd year and still has such a paltry selection of exclusives.
As somebody who owns one I couldn't really care less that everything is getting ported to PC or going multiplat. The issue right now is that there isn't really much worth playing in general. Elden Ring was the last big must play I got and nothing else has been on my radar because TLOU2 had a shit story and the 1st one wasn't even that good. God of War is just TLOU with a fantasy skin.

Xbox isn't faring much better either, it is basically just a gamepass machine, and the switch has exclusives but is so ancient it is becoming smarter to just emulate the games it does have instead of using the hardware.

Yep, Sony lost this gen, I don't care if they outsell Xbox and Nintendo 4 to 1, the sheer fact they used DSP as source of the "average gamer" proves to me they lost touch with the hardcore audience they gained since the PS1 days. DSP truly is immortal.

What The Fuck. When I heard people saying this I thought they were joking.
Yep. They straight up DSP-ified a fucking god of war game. This kind of overbearing handholding is exactly what phil would need. Jesus Christ. The Pigroach is forever.

The only playstation game worth looking forward to now is Stellar Blade, or Project Eve, and I'm pretty much expecting Sony to put it's disgusting hands on it and gut it, while uggofying the girls in the process.

Well, at least I managed to get my PS5 for free.
 
Not too late to scalp it on eBay and put the money towards building/buying a good PC, fren.
Thanks for the suggestion, but that's sort of how I got it. Didn't want to deal with the stress of anxiously waiting for a restock all day, then rush to buy it at store price. So I just bought it off a scalper, claimed that it was stolen and eBay gave me a full refund. Funny enough, biggest reason I got it was because I wanted a 4k blu ray player. Second reason was that I wanted to play my old PS4 games at a higher resolution and frame rate. Actually, I haven't even hooked it up since I got it, it's just sitting in my closet collecting dust. Also, if I could pull off that kind of stunt, then I'm pretty sure someone could do the same to me. Not worth the risk. If I do sell it it'll be to someone I know for physical currency.

Developers are complaining that the Series S is holding back resources for next gen games. I wouldn't call it "unremarkable," more like being neutral.
This sounds like a lot of cope from shitty game devs TBQH

Edit: If Xbox is so damn hard to develop for...why don't they just exclusively develop for Sony and PC? Worked pretty fucking well in the mid 90's to 2000's

Alot of devs are really shitty in programming, looking at the devs for Gotham Knights. I find it very interesting that this game will crash on the steam deck (Which has shown that it can run Snoyderman really well), but devs don't reflect on the hubris of their own coding prowess. What they will do instead is blame the hardware.

And that runs on the same engine as Batman: Arkham Knight. A SEVEN year old game that looks and performs better on weaker hardware.

I know it's rhetorical, but audience reach. As you said, game developers do not know how to optimize their games.

That is a misconception, Arkham Knight runs on UE 3. Which makes Gotham Knights even more pathetic.

It can't be that painful, the memory configuration is similar to a RX 6600. I think devs should have the mindset that these consoles have bucked the trend and stop blaming the hardware. It's really pathetic that Gotham Knights can't run at a locked 60 on PC with similar specs due to it being shit code
