Redfall is launching on Xbox consoles with Quality mode only (4K30FPS) - 60fps to be patched in at some future point

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Marketing and track record the past 3 years of overpromising and underdelivering would have a thing to do with that. Especially when you want to Daddy Warbucks the industry. Ask them to do better instead of making excuses. 🤷‍♀️

To be fair, a games technical make up does not represent its quality. That being said, there's no excuse for them waiting till the 11th hour to announce this. My literal first post in the thread is saying that this is a dumb fucking move as well. It's pretty dumb of them to a/ not have a 60 FPS mode for a shooter and b/ not revealing this info earlier.

lol true that. PCs are just such a pain in the ass. with the constant patches and updates and having to dig around the internet for drivers. consoles are so much simpler. i don't have the time or patience anymore to play the troubleshoot game. i just want shit to work.
I agree. But I am understanding that PCs are getting better and better regarding updates and shit. I can't confirm (I am a Mac guy).

I guess the standard output changed.

They don’t fucking learn do they. Talk shite constantly trying to pander to people.

Fresh blood please. New leadership teams, new ideas.

Microsoft are just a fucking joke at this point. Is this really the negative PR you need after a year and a half with no games?

Couldn't they have just delayed it? How on earth was this gonna release a year ago?

The game was already in development with the same narrative before becoming the subsidiary of a two trillion dollar company, still kinda disingenuous if you ask me 🤷‍♂️

Not when it was just a few weeks ago that the director decided to reveal the politics behind it all. There is nothing disingenuous about pointing out an irony that the director so specifically created himself knowing full well who he works for.

Wait, is this game really about that?

That's the analogy behind it, yes.

There is one website I have to visit for drivers, just once every other month on average.

Everything else you said also applies to consoles. "I just want shit to work" = you must accept whatever the developers give you.

And this is why this kind of thinking will be the end of gaming for me. Game pass gives them leeway to release incomplete games and update later!?? What!?
This was on my list of games to BUY on my series X. It’s off that list now.

And just as a side note- every advertisement for this game shows Microsoft saying it’s releasing for Series consoles, PC and Gamepass. Since when is Gamepass it’s own thing? They make this game for PC, consoles and then code it for Gamepass cause that is what it would sound like to the average person reading these ads.
It's as I feared, Gamespass has become self-aware.

So many people bitching about nothing.

Here's an idea...
Don't delay the game. Who wants to play the game on 30FPS, play it on release. Who wants to play the game on 60FPS, wait for the patch. Problem solved!

That was tough problem to solve, but I solved it.

Yes, we should totally promote the early release of clearly unfinished games because of the promise that they would fix it later!

One deviation does not mean the standard output has changed.

Also are y'all deliberately ignoring the part that the 60 FPS mode will be added in via a post-release patch ?

No I’m not ignoring it. It was made clear it would be added in a post release patch. After a year delay why isn’t it there at launch?

I mean what the hell is this, they put the price up for content to $70 which lets be honest has fuck all to do with quality and more about enticing more people to gamepass and they can’t have a 60fps mode at launch on a first person shooter on what is supposedly the most powerful console for a game that was already delayed a year?

Hes talking about the performance of the game not about the 'fun' and this thread is about the performance of the game.

Also forspoken has a 60fps mode at launch, or did it not?
Forspoken shipped with the modes below & are included in the demo:
2 30fps modes (Quality and Ray-Tracing)
2 40fps modes when 120hz is enabled (Quality and Ray-Tracing)
1 60fps mode (Performance)

At “sometime” in the “future” like Halo infinite “couch coop” that will never see the “light of day”?. It’s not here now and that’s what it should be judged on. And promises be promises, they are not always kept.

Also Aaron:
You do know that the resolution output to the tv is 1080P right? 🥹

exactly so im not sure why people are coming up with all these excuses for redfall. pretty funny really.

Im sure it's changed. And this 30fps shit is pushing me back to the pc world quick. Used to always get the latest chip and gpu but that was like 6 years ago now. It might be time to get back on the horse! I imagine it is much more easy these days

One of those games has untethered 4 player co-op, the other is single player with a mostly barren world.

But the point the user who brought up FS first was not comparing technical aspects, rather that the channel is someone who posts very heavy fanboy themed videos.

I doubt Colt know anything at all about if it can hold 1080p60 or not, probably mean that it can’t even hold 4K30, which is hilariously bad of course.
Delay it MS!
he said the previews (PC) were running at 1080 60 medium to high setting. performance was not smooth.

I think he was given access to a preview build, which is hilarious in itself.

He shouldn't be priviy to that kind of information while legitimate journalists who aren't afraid to criticise them are left in the dark.

He only saw the game running on 'medium spec' PC builds according to himself, he hasn't seen the game running on consoles at all.

I saw the video he put out (don't start), and he said he only saw the PC version of the game in the preview event that happened in March.

I cry about Xbox and hate PlayStation.

Ah so he don’t know anything as I assumed. They better not mess up the PC version too though, could be a historical flop, Cyberpunk at least had the relatively impressive PC version to fall back on when everybody on console were laughing at it.
A delay is still the best way forward here. They need to listen to the talk. This isn’t even the usual console war negativity, this is just as much Xbox gamers being negative, including Colt which is usually a total shill.

Laughable for an FPS. Laughable defensive posts in this thread.

adamsapple adamsapple , what happened to you bro? You used to post funny memes, now I can’t even hear you speak because your tongue is up Colt Eastwood’s bum hole. At least the Phil worship is funny.

I said I only watched it explicitly for the redfall thing lol, I don't have him on any social feeds nor do I want to.

According to the same video (GHG don't) he said he saw some of the previewers go into the game settings to lower them to get better performance as the default setups they had were not exactly running at a smooth performance on PCs.

On mid spec PCs? What’s that, i5 and 2070?
Either way I don’t understand what happened here. Is it UE4 or UE5? Shader struggle related? Data streaming related? VRAM bound? Why is it struggling? DF needs to visit Arkane and have a serious talk.

When, tho?

"Gimme your money first and we will give you a better product ... eventually"

Finish the game first, than launch it
 
As anticipated this has become a shitshow (not only here, but in social media bubble)

And i haven't seen any discussion about what I FEEL could be the root of the problem:

Unreal Engine.

not because is a bad engine, but because if you want to really squeeze all its performance you need to have really geniuses at your studio (Sofware/Graphics engineers/Anime Programmers).

this is why is so important to have proprietary engines fine-tune to make the most for a specific hardware.

Can we stop calling Arkane a good developer?
You made me think about what games I like that they've made, and there are only 4 - Arx Fatalis, Dark Messiah of Might and Magic, Dishonored 1, and the new Prey. Two of those are very old, and two are just old. They haven't made anything I've liked in 7 yrs.
 
Let me just get this straight. So If she wouldn't have been "that hot", having her been Indian would have been a negative?

I mean, you do you, but just... wow.
Eh Im from SEA, if ever there was a representation of my race, I would rather it be the attractive kind. Also have bit of pakistani blood in me so yeah, heil the german guy I guess.

Not sure about sense of all this fuzz. I mean everybody knows that PCs are superior to consoles, and average console gamers are no FPS freaks as vocal minority try to convince the community. Plus, console features are mainly tailored towards compatibility with TV technology, where 4K resolution is far more widespread than high framerate video. That is a simple reality check. Plus the fact that is not good for either console/pc business to provide 100% fluid and crisp gaming performance with high end graphics, because in a short while they would have nothing in pipeline.

Want to have 60 fps ultra - buy a capable PC, or stick to what console version give you. It was always this way, why everybody acting like Redfall is outlier all of the sudden?
