imagine if they made the series S version run on Series X but as a perfomance mode
incoming "thats not how it works" "30fps is good" "its due to fidelity reasons"
Imagine that the difference between S and X CPU is ~ 0.2GHz.

everything i play for now is ok i never use ultra settings
But RTX 40 and RX70 are basically rebadged previous gen

I'm 100% sure he is in fact testing his new game on PC and both Series consoles.

Why say anything at all? wouldn't it be a PR nightmare if the game runs like shit on Series S now after saying it runs well? make it make sense guys. There's no point of talking about Series S unless it's actually true or he's just plain dumb

Saw on Slickdeals you can pick a 3070 refurb from Zotac for $250. Might be worth doing that swap

I guess they would not want any inferior marketing videos to exist, but did they ever show anything of Starfield on XSS?

He must have read Neogaf buddy saying it was dishonoring the developer to play it on Series S

On what planet is running at 30fps even on the series X "Running nicely"

It's the most consoles sold out of the two, so love it or hate it, they have to focus on the majority's experience.

Meph, c'mon man, 30 fps isn't the problem here, the problem is that we, the users, ate the PR bullshit from both companies about their products/consoles...
40K/60 BS, Ray tracing BS, "world's most powerful console" BS, "The power of the SSD" BS, 120Hz BS and so on so forth...
The fact brother that we've been playing mostly souped-up cross-gen games (120Hz/60fps on many titles) hasn't helped either transitioning to the new reality of "true" current gen games - look at Starfield, look at FF16, Spiderman 2 lack of 40fps RT mode, upcoming Forza etc etc.
I am enjoying this gen, don't get me wrong, it's just that from a technical perspective/standpoint both of 'em have been kinda disappointing, a mid-gen refresh IS needed IMO...
Cheers

That system runs circles around the Series S already, even with that under powered 1070.
Get a card that almost chokes that 5600X, like the 3070/4060 Ti or 6750XT.
I recommend the 6750XT, here in this context because it's around $20-$30 cheaper the closest 3070/4060 Ti, slightly better in rasterization (or trades blows), has 4 GB more VRAM and because you're interested in Starfield, AMD being the official marketing partner for the game, they're giving away a copy of Starfield with every mid-high tier GPU's till promo ends.
This is the cheapest and best reviewed one I could find, $360 after the $10 rebate and with the Starfield Premium Edition code.
Also, get yourself a nice 1440p display while you're at it. Preferably IPS panel 144-240 Hz.

Yeah I mean I expect them to test it, I don't expect Todd to suffer through playing it there on his spare time though.

Ditch the XS. It's an albatross in 2023 and will only get worse as the months and years go on.

Yeah he probably is at the office but at home he's not playing on a Xbox
he will have a top of the line expensive PC which was my point.

I'm certain he has all of those things at home and in the office. I'm sure he probably works from a home office a lot of the time. It's silly to suggest he is not playing this on all platforms as it is his baby.Yeah he probably is at the office but at home he's not playing on a Xbox

Upscaled 480p by any chance?

Spend $300 to pick up 6750xt with free Starfield instead.

See that Planet in Starfield? You can go there!

That would be the worse thing MS could ever do to the Xbox Series X. That'll be a HUGE mistake!

Series S is going to be a perfect Starfield console for people not in the Xbox ecosystem and that are attracted to the theme of the game (which resonates pretty largely beyond the simple video-game sphere).
They should make a white Series S 500GB + Starfield controller + game for 300$ for Christmas.

I think people are taking his quote out of context, what he said was.
"It runs! Surprisingly, well..."

Yeah, that is the same reason I usually play games on PS5 instead of my pretty decent high/mid range PC. I work from home all day on my PC. Sometimes I want to see other rooms in my place.

Not crashing would be a significant improvement for Todd Howard games at launch tho

Let's hope it's polished and working well on a single full screen first.

Lie! Why would someone with money need to own a Series S & X instead of two Series X's? Unless to playtest on Series S but I call bullshit on that. Why would someone in his position need to playtest at home, unless he is testing/playing for fun.. which leads me back to, why does he have a Series S & X and not two Series X's.

I'm going to go ahead and call it here:
Right before release he will say 30 fps for series x and a special unique playthough of epic 15 fps cinematic experience on the S - encouraging all X owners to also pick up a series S for the ultimate complete experience.
And then uncle Phil will come out and announce starfield will be the most supported game in xbox history. Just like Redfall.
