Avowed game director confirms "you can get up to 60fps" on Xbox Series X

Ok...

This should already be a standard on the Series X nowadays

I thought this was a new IP/universe. Perhaps too soon to know if I need to have played Pillars of Eternity first?

"Up to 60fps" is basically worse than "locked at 30fps". Unless it's constantly stable at 60fps, i don't want to have to deal with random framerate drops between 30 and 60. Hopefully they have a "quality" and "performance" modes like most X/S games have nowadays.

Think this was the interview where she basically soft confirmed the PS5 port, so maybe this is mode intended for PS5 Pro to take advantage of? "Up to 60" is fine for me though, as long as we in that VRR window, I'm good. PS5 doesn't do freesync and it makes my eyes sad. 😵‍💫

Very nice :) Quite interested to try this game.

That’s nice.

FalconRedux said:They have already said that you don't have to have played the Pillars games yo be able to play this.

But they obviously will add more context and lore to the universe and there will probably be some references I'd imagine

if you want 60 fps get it on pc the only reason to have a xbox s/x consoles now is backwards compatibility until the emulators get better then there will be no point to have modern xbox console at all

Up to 60 or stable at 60?

It was a rapid fire question. She could've easily misinterpret the question or (rapidly) give a wrong number.

rare xbox win

FalconRedux said:I doubt it since it takes place in a new area with a new protagonist. Knowing some lore might make the experience slightly better. It is some good lore! But the developers were definitely trying to target a wider audience than CRPG fans so they’ve likely accounted for that. I still highly recommend playing Pillars in the future

MechaHeretic said:Not for anyone with a VRR capable display. 40 fps+ is a big improvement. Plague Tale was the first I remember to do this, and I wish more games would.

dreampage said:Not likely. This had already been an open secret without confirmation. Now it's confirmed.

Only PC players and people who have forgotten how to enjoy a videogame care about FPS

Sneaky G Wizard said:And people with working eyes. Them too

She said up to 60 because they have 3 different modes, 30, 40, and 60.

Doesn't matter, no one will play it and Microsoft will shut down Obsidian
