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.

[DiRtY]

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

[Kerppamaister]

Haters gonna hate. Game looks cool in any case.

[RaidenBlack]

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 Fingers]

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

[potatoseal]

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

[anubusgold]

@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.

[pocolocoX]

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

[dlocsta]

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

[1Victor]

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_Darkness]

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

[sprinterboy]

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

[DiRtY]

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

[Christopher]

@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.

@DiRtY

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

[Ju]

@DiRtY seriously?

@RazzerRedux

"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.

[RazzerRedux]

@obscure

Do we know final resolutions and frames for those games?

[Mr_Luke]

@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 ;)

[Obscure_Observer]

@RazzerRedux

"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.

[Ju]

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

[subzero1992]

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

[Christopher]

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.

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

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.

[Atom666]

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.

[Christopher]

***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?

[Ashunderfire86]

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

[Father__Merrin]

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

[Minute Man 721]

Stop it " Dynamic 4K"
