An issue could be if Microsoft does not allow publishers to only support the Series X. They could require the S be supported too. And most 3rd party publishers will want the extra sales by putting their game on Xbox. So they could be stuck.
They're not just criticising specs, but also practical aspects.
Guess who gains the most.
I just mean they don't sound like they've actually developed for XSS.
For sure.
I don't agree with some of the stuff the Squanch Games guy said about PS5 and XSX, like how they're not 4K@60FPS boxes and ray-tracing won't be used that much. I mean, looking at his studio's portfolio, Idk if his comments hold as much weight as someone like Billy Khan (engine programmer for id Tech). But the RAM issue with Series S looks like it could be a potential issue after seeing multiple devs now talking about it.
I think it will be even worse if devs didnt have hands on devkits 2 months prior the launch. Don't you ?
The ones with Dev Kits probably aren't supposed to say anything is my point.
Yeah I laughed right after hitting send and thought about editing in "or anything running on XSX" but just left it for the peanut gallery lol
I get what you're saying but even these devs who don't have access to the Series S devkits, they are talking from experience here from developing for current-gen consoles.
Or you could just make a console game. In 2012 there were 2 consoles to support. PS3 and 360. Simple.

It is.
They do. But it’s not for gamers. They’ve thrown next gen and enthusiasts under the bus.
And why is PC excluded?
Dude is in denial mode.Well ID software is talking about it. And they are releasing a patch for Doom on next gen consoles. I think it's safe to assume that they have the dev kits for the Series S at this point.
Bethesda Pledges Next-Gen Versions of Doom Eternal, Elder Scrolls Online Will be Free to All PS4, Xbox One Owners - ExtremeTech
Gamers who bought Bethesda titles on the PS4 and Xbox One can look forward to playing those titles for free next generation, but what about PC players? Will they get any improvements / upgrades for free as well?
At this point I'd like to simply see MS and Sony show off more gameplay. God fall, ratchet and the medium is all we've seen in terms of a proper walkthrough
Of course it makes sense from Microsoft's perspective. They'll be able to get the Series S down to $200 over the years and make a volume play. Its smart business. Game Pass, Xcloud, etc. Their strategy is clear.
I imagine some of them are specifically for PS+....
We saw HZD2 gameplay...most people just don't believe it yet
What's a good rig? Cause you'll need a 3070 to beat the consoles. Or more. $1000s on total build.
I think it was something like the Series X devkits having a Lockhart profile that emulates the way Lockhart works, but recently there's been rumors going around that some devs now have access to Series S devkits.
Ok find me a PC player that want to play nextgen tittles with less than 10 GB combined memory. 4 GB RAM with 2 GB vram ? Maybe in 2013.
You know what dev stands for? The people who are experienced on making games.
That's not the point.
He saw an ingame trailer. If I want what we all wanted in July, the experience of watching a game being played
He said more RAM is working on behalf of the game but little RAM still is little RAM. He used that to justify going from 8GB to 16GB, not to stay on 8GB (or 10GB on XSS case).
When you take a game for PC, take a look on its back.
Really?
They should've kept it at 60fps, that looks terrible. It's just an option, right?And don't worry, Richard said they didn't help with that Series S at 120 FPS footage.
Because for DF to take part in an official promotional video for Xbox... wouldn't be very impartial or professional, of course.
Thankfully it was just a happy coincidence. Microsoft just so happened to use the exact same overlays. Funny.
