The Falconeer Performance Mode Runs the Game at 120 FPS on Xbox Series X and S

Thomas Sala shared some details about its upcoming game ‚The Falconeer‘ on Twitter.

DiRtY1294d ago

1800p / 60 FPS on Series S is amazing for a 299€ console.

Kerppamaister1294d ago

Haters gonna hate. Game looks cool in any case.

RaidenBlack1294d ago

Yea it has an unique smooth and calming art style.
But why omit the One X stats?
It'll be 4K/60 native, right?

Fishy Fingers1294d ago

XB One X is 1800p/60. He posed it in the comments.

potatoseal1294d ago

This game is not technically impressive in the slightest. Wil probably review terribly as well.

anubusgold1294d ago

@potatoseal You can run 2k games at max detail on 4 year old graphics cards so the series s will be fine if lazy developers dont get in the way.

pocolocoX1294d ago

We keep getting actual performance numbers from Microsoft way before release. I'm loving this new Xbox!

dlocsta1294d ago

@potatoseal
This looks as graphically intense as Ratchet & Clank and the PS5 can't run that at 4k/60FPS. Next comment...

1Victor1294d ago

Awesome /s I would be surprised if this game didn’t perform well even in the current gen let be frank for a second this game isn’t pushing anything up

Army_of_Darkness1294d ago

If this game can run @1080p/60fps on the Xbox one s, it says it all considered how weak that console is. 😂🤣

Its "The Falconeer" dude, One would hope so?

DiRtY1294d ago

Well PS5 can’t hit native 4K for Ratchet and Clank... and that is not the most demanding game either.

Christopher1294d ago

@DiRtY: That's to be seen. All we know for certain is that it's dynamic 4k60fps. They might not have a 4k30fps native option.

RazzerRedux1294d ago

@DiRtY

The inclusion of ray tracing makes R&C a demanding game. Falconeer isn't comparable at all.

"The inclusion of ray tracing makes R&C a demanding game. Falconeer isn't comparable at all."

Yeah, but what about Astrobot and Sackboy? Doesn´t seem demanding games at all.

RazzerRedux1294d ago

@obscure

Do we know final resolutions and frames for those games?

Mr_Luke1294d ago

@DiRtY
Did i really... read that? No wait, probably it's a joke.
Comparing this game with...
No, i get it, it was a joke. Nice ;)

"Do we know final resolutions and frames for those games?"

We know that Sony is targeting 60fps for those games. Now, about the final resolution, I think it´s pretty hard to achieve native 4K for games which resolution shown in DF´s PS5 reveal event analysis were as low as 1512p.

So yeah, I´m not expecting native 4K/60fps for games like Astrobot, Sackboy and Destruction AllStars on the 10TF PS5, which makes the 4TF SS 1800p/60fps and 1080p/120fps performances for The Falconeer pretty impressive IMO.

@Obscure

"I think it´s pretty hard to achieve native 4K for games which resolution shown in DF´s PS5 reveal event analysis were as low as 1512p."

Why? DF fully acknowledges this could change. I think it would be silly to assume it wouldn't considering DF also said Godfall was native 4k 60. Since then AC:Valhalla has been announced at 4k 60 for PS5. Spider-man Mile Morales as a 4k 60 performance mode. But somehow....Sackboy and the rest are not going to make it there? I mean....maybe, but that is on the developers to explain at that point. Regardless, it seems silly to assume that the months between reveal and release are going to yield no improvements to performance. So why make assumptions?

"performances for The Falconeer pretty impressive IMO."

Steam recommended GPU is a GTX 1060 for Falconeer.

To be fair I've watched the gameplay videos it's not exactly winning any awards for setting graphical standards. Realistically you could probably get the game to be playable on a ps2 or og xbox.

I'd be extremely concerned if the game didn't hit 1080 for the one s.

And that's in no way a dig on the gameplay or anything else just graphically it's indie af.

Ju1294d ago

Well, 1080p@60 on the X1S says it all...

subzero19921294d ago

The 1080P/120FPS is pretty impressive as well. Its a great console for gaming on a monitor.

Christopher1294d ago

It's great, but the graphics are really flat and low poly without much in the way of advanced AI/physics. This shouldn't be a metric for other Indie games let alone AAA to achieve on Series S or Series X, IMHO. Once you start upping those polys and utilizing higher quality/detailed textures, that resolution is going to drop and the CPU may be affected by AI/physics processing.

green1294d ago (Edited 1294d ago )

Linking to an early gameplay video from 2 years ago? Okay Mr lol

I'll judge from gameplay footage taking recently and it looks impressive

Christopher1294d ago (Edited 1294d ago )

https://www.youtube.com/wat...

Even running on Series X, you can't say that's a high poly game. That's lower poly count than Sea of Thieves by a good margin, for comparison.

Edit to your edit: If you think that looks impressive, wait until you play some indie games from 2014-2020 on Xbox One.

Atom6661293d ago

Still on this crusade, Christopher? Sure seems like the S is matching the X's frames, running the same "polys."

It's almost like you can drop the GPU and memory down to run the same games at lower res. Sort of like we've been doing for years on PC.

Christopher1293d ago (Edited 1293d ago )

***running the same "polys."***

Yes, the same really low level polygons... That's my whole point.

And my crusade must be to not oversell a product by ignoring how it's able to achieve certain things?

So is 1800p/120FPS for Series X that is awesome 😎 especially upscaled to 4K or 8K depending on your TV! Facts right there

I'd prefer the 60fps mode with higher assets.

Minute Man 7211294d ago (Edited 1294d ago )

Stop it " Dynamic 4K"

Ash01Live1294d ago

Would you rather have a solid 4k and 'dynamic' 60fps? Or a solid 60fps and dynamic 4k?

this gen will be very interesting to see digital foundry breakdown of the differences between each system, cant wait to see

potatoseal1294d ago (Edited 1294d ago )

Agreed will be interesting

G1L1293d ago

Can't wait to check that 800% zoom for differences xD

G1L1294d ago

This is unbelievable on a game that screams next gen like this: https://youtu.be/YzuZxW7FUH...

Lol nothing about that screams next gen wtf.

omegaheat1294d ago

I love any positive news about Xbox, but I'm not sure if this is the type of game most wouder a testament to next generation gaming on Xbox Series S/X. It's a beautiful cell shaded game, but the textures are limited enough for this game to run flawlessly on the console(s). The Xbox Series X is beast waiting to be challenged.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Arcade: Wrath of the Mutants Review [Capsule Computers]

Travis Bruno of Capsule Computers writes:

"When it comes to brawlers, no licensed franchise has likely seen more titles released for it than the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle games. Sure, there are entire game franchises that have existed only has brawlers but those are a separate thing entirely, TMNT is a popular property and the fact that it features four iconic turtles with signature weapons lends itself so well to the genre that it makes sense that so many have been made over the past three decades. In fact, two major beat 'em ups for the Turtles have arrived within the last couple of years, which begs the question as to why now would GameMill choose to tap into the 2017 arcade game simply titled Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles? Well, they have and brought a bit of new content into the game in their own version titled Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Arcade: Wrath of the Mutants. So now that it has arrived on consoles and PC, is this beat ‘em up another trip down memory lane with the Heroes in a Half-Shell?"

South Park: Snow Day! (XS) Review | VGChartz

VGChartz's Stephen LaGioia: "Snow Day is pretty thin when it comes to both style and substance, offering not quite enough of either to hold up long-term, even with decent multiplayer support and interesting Roguelike bits. While I’ve played worse South Park titles, this one stands out by following two far better games: The Stick of Truth and, to a lesser extent, The Fractured But Whole. The departure in both content and quality is apparent given that it alludes to their lore and positions itself as a spin-off or quasi-sequel to them. Yet, the experience often felt more like an obscure 2000s action romp with a South Park overlay. Glimpses of fun were had — like when wiping out several foes with my fully-charged dagger swipes, pelting Elf-kid hordes with my turret, or coordinating with other players to beat a tough boss. As a whole, though, this is a rare snow day I could have done without."

Bulwark: Falconeer Chronicles (XS) Review | VGChartz

VGChartz's Lee Mehr: "In the end, Bulwark: Falconeer Chronicles represents two sides of a coin. In one respect, seeing Tomas Sala leave the skies in favor of city-planning speaks to a kind of experimentation and flexibility not seen in many developers today; in the other, his tweaks within said formula unfortunately result in unnecessary repetition and design mismanagement within combat, trade, and exploration. Seeing cities sprout to life remains a neat visual staple that reinforces your productivity, but it simply doesn't feel like your iterations grow much beyond that. Put another way: all of the building blocks are here for any genre fan to appreciate, but the finished construction is still left wanting."
