My understanding is that a normie Xbox in dev mode limits the power of the console to something like 70%.

In other words, if you can successfully create a game to run acceptably under those conditions, you get a free 30% performance boost on release and will be praised for actually creating a well-performing product.
 
I for one am sincerely looking forward to seeing how much further they can butcher that ancient-ass engine and still crank out a game that can even fucking boot on a modern system. :story:

TES VI is on schedule to be worse than both Fallout 4 and Starfield, since it's obvious modern Bethesda lacks the ability to even make something as mid as Skyrim.

Should be obvious, it's been 14 years since that company released a good game. Think about the amount of staff turnover in that time, or even the amount of the old guard that just retired. That's stacked against the stupid hiring spree all game studios have done for the lowest quality employees possible.
 
The Xbox death knell continue...

Next Xbox won’t be cheap — Sarah Bond teases a “very premium, high-end next-gen console experience”

That choice of words stood out. Premium and curated suggest that Xbox is moving further into high-end territory of $1000-1500 and away from affordability that defined the Xbox.

no 1000 dollars console.jpg
 
Bond also said that some of the thinking behind the next generation can already be seen in the Xbox Ally, which hints at deeper integration with Windows, AI features, or a more unified ecosystem approach.

"Games?"

I love Windows integration and AI features, the next console will totally be worth $1000-$1500 lmao.

They've just lost the plot so hard it's hard to listen to. The only thing that would begin to stop this downward spiral would be a video montage of Phil Spencer fist fighting every CEO of a subsidiary studio that hasn't released a game in 5 years like the ending of Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back

Can't wait for Elder Scrolls VI to be a launch title for PS6.

It is wild to think that the game was announced as being in preproduction in 2018, 2 years before the PS5 had come out. It has been 7 years since that announcement and will likely come out as a cross-gen title for PS5/PS6. Can't wait for TES6 to be re released and remastered for every piece of hardware under the sun for the next 15 years after that, just like Skyrim before it.

It won't have the legs Skyrim had, I think.

There's something in the whole Viking aesthetic that stuck out with Skyrim. I personally like Redguards, but I don't think a North Africa/Arabian aesthetic is going to work as well. Especially with the growing anti-woke trends.

Of course, I'm assuming that it is JUST going to be Hammerfell and not a Hammerfell/High Rock/Orsinium combo.

it runs fine, if you want to see a bunch of jeetthesda artistes bitching about it though:
 
The only real question about the death of Xbox is whether it’s intentional so Microsoft can leave the console business, and try to be profitable as a third party, or if they really are that incompetent and genuinely can’t see why they are tanking Xbox.

If I had to guess, it because the Indian CEO believes that by forcing a 30% profit margin on Xbox that they will suddenly pull themselves up by the bootstraps and become mega successful. It's a very boomer esque type of thinking, and if it fails, they will just let Phil Spencer hold the bag and blame it all on him. Sarah Bond for sure won't be taking credit for it failing, and Phil being the cuck that he is, will take the fall. They're stupid.

The pajeet nigger CEO is getting close to $100 million this year off of a $17 million annual raise. None of this is sustainable.

Not with this leadership. They can't survive as first or third party for long.

So it turns out that Microsoft execs have been wanting 30% profit margins from Xbox, explaining the recent price hikes
