Well, MS first party game doesn't need to deal with any Sony's console, pretty big difference actually.
Should have been the plan from the start with a late 2021/ early 2022 release to allow for the next gen player base reach millions to allow good sales (even though PC gamers would make up a big chunk too). Making it next gen as launch title would cause sales to suffer I guess. However, CDPR and investors didn't want to miss out on potential of millions of current gen buyers despite risking backlash due to bad performance/ "downgrade"
If the game is CPU hungry which is most likely what difference the X would make? It has the same Jaguar CPU no?
It's not graphics, this isn't DMC or MGR lol.
That's a 5 year old game. And not 100% open world. Divided in areas. And it doesn't have a huge futuristic city with a ton of things going on.
I don't get it, they had to build the game around a specific hardware and they had to test the game on consoles at least once in all these years, dind't they? So they had an idea of what is possible or not to achieve with that hardware. I find strage they booted up the game on PS4 just few months ago to be like "oh no it doesn't run, all this work was in vain, we are screwed"
Game still got delayed because of them tho.When you're a PC player and don't have to worry about current gen consoles.
Yes or what else? oh right minecraft will be on PS5 yeah, but how many people going to trash talk PS4 and XB1(and Switch?) because minecraft?
well, the CPU on the X is clocked 30% up from the base xbox one.
It's all about the cash money.
I wouldn't say "most" cross-gen titles last time ran that poorly, but certainly there were a few that did (like Shadow of Mordor). For the others, though it was usually clear that the PS3/360 versions weren't a major focus, performance was usually within the kind of boundaries that people would expect based on last-generation hardware - like, say, ACIV: Black Flag was a slight improvement over ACIII on PS3/360 even though it was clearly outclassed by the PS4 and Xbox One versions.
It might be. However, if that was the case, it'd be a little weird to single out the original Xbox One as being "extremely unsatisfactory" - if there are CPU limitations the base PS4 should have at least as many problems as the original Xbox One (and indeed more problems, considering the Xbox One's greater clock speed).
You said CDPR has difficulties with Xbox One because they have to make a PS4 version - a more powerful console.
If you don't think scale up/down is easy, why would you think port the game between MS and Sony's current gen console will be just "save as"?
It isn't that it is difficult, task wise, more that the machine can't handle it.
