Starfield boss explains reason Xbox version is locked at 30fps
news.yahoo.com
Bethesda boss Todd Howard has explained why Starfield is going to be locked to 30fps on Xbox Series X|S consoles.

I will come back to this post in September to see if I was right lol

Biggest concerning signs:

  1. 30 FPS lock on xbox, there’s no way to spin that positively, absolute fail

  2. Predatory pre-order bonus skins to get people to buy before they know what they’re actually going to experience (buggy shitshow)

  3. Countless attempts to hype up the game and huge random assurances from the devs

  4. Preemptively admitting the game has jank and trying to make it seem okay lol

At least the bugs will be absolutely hilarious I think.

    Yea, single player games, on consoles, can be 100% enjoyable even at 30fps. BotW and TotK are perfect examples of it. I haven’t seen any trailers or reviews or content of Starfield, btw, so don’t anyone date call me a coper.

          I mean literally the first-person camera.

          Like you the fact you’re moving a crosshair makes it much more noticeable. It’s the same on desktop for 60Hz vs. 120+Hz too.

          I don’t care so much though, I doubt I’ll even hit 30 FPS on my potato.
