Love to hear it. This is why I'm a fan of platform exclusivity - more focus on limited platforms brings the most out of the hardware. I think this all but guarantees Series specific HW features such as SFS will be in play.

I can already see this backfiring horribly. We all know this will be a technical mess at launch.

"specific hardware" -> Develops for PC.

It's always hilarious to read this kind of console warrior nonsense.

It's coming out for PC and cloud. Two platforms that have no idea what screen, internet conditions or controller you are using. A PS5 port would literally do nothing to upset this process.

Man stop talking and finish the game. You talk like your game is 10 out of 10 and the hype through the roof. What we saw so far probably 6.5 out of 10

I fear just like his other projects, over ambitious, not properly optimized with bad animation and frames .

What a bunch of non sense, that serves only as fuel for flame wars between fanboys.

This thread will go well.

Yeah, it just sounds like he's being nice to his bosses. I don't think it really effects anything major at all.

Advantages of developing for series S?

Time to retire, Todd

No one believes that lol
But nice try I guess

 

[Crispy Gamer]

Oh it's Todd Howard...

 

[Topher]

He doesn't even mention PS5. This is click bait.

 

[Romulus]

Eliminating a console from the workload is not a bad thing from a development standpoint at all, it allows more of that time to be placed on one console versus 2 or 4

Lol, well damn...

How so? No different than PS studios developing only for PS5.

Ah yes, Todd Howard is a console warrior....

Relax... PC version will simply deal with overhead. We've already seen this with Spiderman Ports. It will be the same here.

Bethesda games have always performed worse on Sony systems. Always focused more on Xbox on the console side of things.

Think Todd said he enjoys playing on console at home because he sits in front of a computer all day at work.

If you listen to the full podcast he mentions that Xbox has always been their lead development platform. In practice this doesn’t change much, what makes a difference is the direct support they have from the Xbox hardware team as they are now first party.

He also compliments the PlayStation 5 hardware, says it’s a real impressive piece of tech. Y’all making much ado about nothing here

 

[Kikorin]

This is going to be an awesome game, but a technical mess, considering is Bethesda what we are talking about.

No. You are.

Todd Howard is a console manufacturer's employee.
