A list of poor, old ports. Most which may have never been fixed by developers were improved beyond the console versions by modders. It should be embarrassing to professional developers that modders had to fix your trainwreck of a game but many there have been and end up good versions.
That or PC performance has moved on so far they work well these days.
Borne out no more than 2015's Arkham Knight being number 1. The fact is the PC version is actually ...
The best version will be on PC. that much is certain.
It will be to reduce the size of the machine but it also opens the possibility that both sides of the board around the APU are cooled in a heat sink sandwich.
Series X has the cooler on top of the main processor, but they also have a large cast aluminium central 'spine' piece that their board sits in, soaking away heat from the rear of the mainboard too.
It makes sense at these power levels. GDDR6 is hot, the VRMs are hot. The more of the board y...
Obscure_Observer 'There will be FAR more Xbox gamers playing the best version of Flight Simulator on Series X'
Haha no, there won't. Firstly Series X is going to be a very expensive console, and expensive consoles sell slowly. Especially in an economic recession.
Consoles gamers always whine about cost constantly, but PC gamers accept their investments. It is going to take at least an entire year after launch before Series X surpasses 10m sale...
An i5 8400 and RX590 is not a humongous spec requirement but it's still faster than Xbox One X. It's basically a mid range PC at best in 2020.
Current gen Xbox consoles are going to suck with this game, their CPUs will surely inhibit the kind of streaming performance this game will demand for the best quality assets.
This is going to be one game best played on PC, any good PC really just for the complex controls alone.
'Killzone 2 blew console Crysis out the water'
It did because it was a Sony game developed by a Sony team that spent the better part of 5 years building its engine dedicated solely for one unique platform.
Crysis ran on a multiplatform CryEngine, ported to look as close as possible on each to a PC game. A game 360 and PS3 couldn't have possibly hoped to emulate in all its glory visually. So it turned out to be. They looked nothing like the PC ...
From digital foundry who did a patch analysis all I see is the the difference between the versions is really small.
It's not even worth arguing about who has 54 frames and who has 57 frames. They said that they could not see much difference between the high res launch and the post patch downgrade because of the way the image reconstruction works.
If it is that similar with such a big res drop imagine how tiny the difference is between the versions th...
It's only a 1280 x 720 PS3 game emulated to run in native 4K, or nine times the resolution......pretty impressive as far as I am concerned! The texture work pops at that resolution.
The emulator is only going to improve and get better. You'll still be unimpressed if they make it run perfectly full native 4K 60FPS, despite the fact you can count the current number of console games that do that on your fingers
Good thing too, seeing as the SNES had fully dedicated audio in 1990.
Consoles have had completely dedicated audio processors for ages. Not news.
They got it the wrong way round.
PC makes Xbox obsolete because it plays all the same games, other games Xbox can't play and then does a lot more besides.
This is the reason why neither Xbox One X or Xbox One has sold that well this generation but PC's market share and revenue has increased in the past 7 years. To the point PC's share is as big as all the consoles combined.
The choice alone is worth the admission price of a PC.
Let me put it this way, on maximum settings, with a 9900k, 32GB of RAM and a 2080Ti it runs about 50FPS in 4K when you have a lot of objects on screen. Cities. Peak load.
Needless to say that's something like 4-6x the CPU performance of X1X and 3x the GPU performance. Quite easily 3 times the performance of Xbox One X across the board. Not to mention the very fast streaming performance of an SSD that X1X doesn't have.
You can expect performance an...
"Its going to be 4k@60fps with medium/high textures on X1X Microsoft told me."
It isn't and they didn't.
When Forza Horizon 4 was claimed by people like you it would be 4K 60FPS on Xbox One X I was the one who had also played it on PC early, and said not a chance, 30FPS for 4K at most.
I was right because I understand the game requirements and the hardware performance.
The only way that flight sim wi...
X1X: 4k@60fps high textures
Not a chance. I have played the current release on a high end PC and know how it runs. Even with a bunch of work Xbox One X is not going to run it that well. Underlying CPU and GPU is not fast enough, and the memory required is very high.
4K 30FPS at best, probably medium settings.
If the new Xbox console really does have a GPU faster than a 5700XT as some leaks posit then 4K 60FPS is a real possibility for t...
Half run well, half don't. You can emulate anything in theory, but it can require a lot of effort to get the performance desired.
Because it's more than just the three games in the title.
When Metal Gear Solid 4 runs well I'll be happily playing that at high resolution and smooth frame rates, something the PS3 never managed and no other version exists of that masterpiece. No PS4 version or remaster in sight......
A custom build works well: https://www.youtube.com/wat... although I'll give it...
I would comfortably argue that building a game over three years and releasing it piecemeal isn't what most old school GT fans had in mind. I'm one of those long term GT fans, 1998 - present.
I'm all for supporting your game post release, if it means it's actually a fully featured game when it is released. GT Sport wasn't. It took about two years for the game to reach a reasonable size and depth to start playing it without too much repetition.

Article headline straight out of 2010. Thought I had woken up in the past for a moment there
GTX1050Ti and a 3.5 mechanical drive crushes base PS4 hardware TBF
The GPU is nearly twice as fast and a 1TB 3.5 7200RPM drive is much faster than a 500GB 5400RPM 2.5 format drive inside a PS4.
By the time 30 million people own a PS5 it'll be 2024 and the game will have moved on a long way again for PC, including SSD performance
PC will have the DirectStorage API by the time Series X launches. It is designed to give low level access to NVMe drives and reduce decompression down from a multicore operation to a small percentage of a single CPU core.
