When did I say later games? All sorts of strawmen in here today.

Epic has Amnesia Machine for Pigs and Kingdoms New Lands Costume Quest 2 and Layers of Fear 2 next week.

Destiny 2 is free to begin with. Why would it?

Destiny 2 patch coming December 8th. The Next Generation of Destiny > News | Bungie.net WWW.BUNGIE.NET Series S misses that 1440p 60fps target once again for a current gen port. Joins For Honor and Yakuza 7.

@AbsolutSurgen It looks great for what it sets out to achieve, in the same way ACIV: Black Flag did at the time. But I stand by that comment 100%.

Probably for VR.

Xbox Series X unleashed: Our unrestricted preview ARSTECHNICA.COM In good news, we finally have a stunning 120fps game. But not much else, games-wise. Sounds like journalists are still in the dark with most of the updates. But Gears 5 performs well at 120fps.

A few odds and ends: - Bright Memory 1.0. That means the fully fledged project, Bright Memory Infinite, won't release until later 2021. No biggie, it's an indie team. Like Gears Tactics, the PC version of 1.0 has been available for a while, but should be new for console owners. PC owners of 1.0 will get Infinite for free, so hopefully the same applies on Series X/S. - Scorn must have missed launch day. Like The Medium, it's still slated to come this year. Assuming the same about the Control re-release too. - Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, The Falconeer and Tetris Effect: Connected are the games that will be available for the very first time on launch day, November 10th. Yakuza: Like a Dragon as well, if you don't count the Japan PS4 release.

We've already seen the PC version. It won't look any worse unless you dial the settings back yourself.

You're paying $10 less for the same next-gen product. This isn't like NBA2K21 version where the PC version isn't up to next-gen standards.

There is no (announced) current gen version of Godfall.

That's fair. I think there should be room for full price multiplayer games just as there is single player. The online console tax is the non-starter for me, never mind what (few) games get exempted from it. No game should require Gold/PS+/Nintendo Online for any mode. PC ports of these games highlight the hypocrisy. $60 on EGS. Could be argued that Gearbox is passing the royalty savings along on PC. (although some PC games will still do it anyways on Steam, since prices there tend to lag behind console hikes for a short time)

Beat Hellblade. Still have the same opinions, especially after the ending. It would have been cool to see what exactly her madness caused her to do IRL, but they kind of squandered that opportunity in making it all about her mind. And even that could have been explained a bit better. Coolest part of the game was the beast battle, by far. I haven't seen a game go there with horror elements before.

I could see Ubisoft doing the same with Division 3 and no one complaining. There's also the 12% cut vs 30% cut with EGS exclusivity. Oddly enough, they're actually passing on most of those savings to buyers.

Get a cut of digital sales to keep them afloat, apparently. Used game sales must be in freefall right now.

Depends entirely on the nature of the port: if the PC port came later, what they did to get it optimized for consoles, etc.

This was always going to be the case, but it's nice to see they've been able to make it work in some situations. It's the same issue that emulators have with 60fps patches. Things can break. But the more modern the game, the better shot MS has at getting rid of a 30fps lock.

PS4 Pro - 1080p/30fps PS4 - 900p/30fps

DiRT 5 and our first Xbox Series X “enhanced” tests: 120Hz saves the uneven ride ARSTECHNICA.COM A bleeding-edge Xbox Series X feature impresses, but it deserves a prettier game.

Alright, let's see Digital Foundry take a look. First Series X game shown running on Series X hardware.
