30 is the safest bet. If they actually ship with 60 then that will be a huge point in favor of Microsoft acquiring them because I can't imagine a world where they'd pull that off on their own.

The only reason why it would be limited to 30fps on console is if it's CPU limited. Because otherwise 60fps can easily be achieved by lowering the resolution or graphics settings.
Given the game is being developed on an old proprietary engine that Bethesda knows inside and out, and there's no CPU-demanding co-op/online elements to the open world, there should be no excuse IMHO.
Of course the game could be way more ambitious on a technical level than I am giving it credit for, so I could be completely off base.
And as always and what I said in the other thread, what those in or covering the industry are looking for is single player, single player, single player. That's what Microsoft needs to invest heavily in if they want that part of the industry on their side: AAA single player.
It doesn't matter how well service and multiplayer games climb up the sales lists, as a platform holder if you starve this segment, you'll be paying in mindshare.
Or maybe the industry needs to evolve a little and stop being so one dimensional?
Castling is the only move in chess where you can move two pieces at once. Starfield and forza about to move to get the game going again 😏
BotW at #1, for me, is why no one should take these lists too seriously!
It is what it is. Fair or not you're not gonna see a list like this full of multiplayer and service games. It's just not what they're looking for. Microsoft can either adapt and attempt to appeal to them with the type of games they like or suffer in mindshare. They can't solve this with service and multiplayer games, because this group is only rarely interested in them.
Microsoft has a ton of single player AAA games in development. I like the diversity of Xbox's first party.
Bisohock Infinite is in there?
Fallout 3 above New Vegas?
BotW at 1?
hmmm
They do and that's great to see. I think they should do even more.
Interestingly enough I've noted in here that even amongst Xbox fans, it's often those games topping our lists, when we do top tens every once in a while in the OTs.
EDIT: I also agree about the diversity of the line-up. It doesn't get any better that what Xbox is doing now.

Expected but hopefully brings a smile to Phil's face!

Now I know you spell REDFALL with all capsNot sure how much will see this, or want to see this, I think it's worth sharing for those who do though.
what a nice message though. I actually feel kinda bad for Arkane
The very brief time I spent with Redfall wasn't that bad. It clearly needs a fair bit of work still. I'll definitely come back after a few patches and the 60 fps mode release.Not sure how much will see this, or want to see this, I think it's worth sharing for those who do though.
you can see based on the atmosphere and character; that they wanted to make something special and tried really hard.
its not the type of game where someone wanted to make a quick buck and doesn't care about the scores.
I do feel bad for them as well. Hopefully they don't feel discouraged by this; seems like they just didn't have enough experience making these types of co-op experiences and there was no way to fix it once they were too far along with it.
Wonder how hard it would be to rework it into a single player experience. Create your own character with a full skill tree where you get to choose how to play the game.
There seems to be some form of "adventure mode" coming, whatever this is. Looked into the steamdb infos a bit and they are constantly updating the various branches of the game daily - so they are actively working on it currently. I posted the screenshots in the Redfall OT.
I think it's pretty clear at this point that ArkAus went through hell to get this game out.Not sure how much will see this, or want to see this, I think it's worth sharing for those who do though.
on borderlands 3 of all games? weird
and of course the story goes balls to the wall resetera saying about how its a CONSTANT WORRY for series s users to see this COMMON ERROR which i have more than 500 hours on bl3 on a series s and never seen nor heard from any other of the peeps ive played with
It's a shame that the game didn't come together.Not sure how much will see this, or want to see this, I think it's worth sharing for those who do though.
literally the first time I've ever even seen this error appear on any xbox. Any game can have a memory leak leading to out of memory allocation errors.
reddit user said "It's a standard Unreal Engine message for failure to allocate vram"
A part of me almost feels like this is worse then blocking, because now it'll spend months and months in court to probably go nowhere with CMA/CAT.
Sigh...
Good news. If the US also comes to a similar conclusion along with the rest of the world, CMA's decision would be completely isolated and even more obviously weird and allow MS to move forward one way or another.
Boy, they really like Zelda lmao.
And Undertale should be in the top 10.
The success rate with CMA appeals is 33%; it is an uphill battle but it is not impossible. Given what we have seen over the past few months, i think it is important MS tries everything it can to get ABK. ABK's revenue split going more towards PC ties into Xbox's platform approach even at the expense of console exclusivity; their studios are talented even if COD seems to be slowly dying and most of all, there might not be the reluctance to revisit classic IP among their studios that someone like Rare seems to have
Also, if UK ends up on an island (lol), there might be some way out even without a CMA success
I think it's more likely we see big Japanese game announcements at their TGS showcase (if they have one?)
It's over right
Even if they appeal it eventually goes back to cma. Right.
