If I see this on sale for PC I may double dip just to see for myself what technical differences are. My Laptop is more than capable of running this.

My laptop could run its title screen.

I’ve got my eye on this. Should start getting reviews soon so it’s gonna be interesting. I’m kinda thinking it’s gonna have a lot more positive reviews than negative…just a hunch.

I have no faith in this game being good, but I hope im wrong. Previews weren't glowing.

[crispy4000]

I'd hope at least that it reviews better than Avengers.

Heck if it’s as good as a single player 3D beat ‘em up as Avengers was I’ll actually be pleasantly surprised!  @skillzdadirecta

This one has the advantage of not having a live service thing tacked on to it, so they really have to nail the rest of the stuff because arguably that's what made everyone really trash the avengers.

I honestly think the game will score in the 7 range. Nothing awful but nothing great, either.

Yeah review scores are irrelevant to me to the point of not having any impact on whether or not I buy or enjoy a game. I got MORE than my money's worth playing Avengers because that's exactly how I played it. In fact, that's what the game SHOULD have been instead of some half assed live service thing. The core mechanics were great and it had a decent story and great graphics. It stumbled on trying to be superhero Destiny in my opinion.  This isn't necessarily trying that. It's focus seems to be the single player experience with multi player co-op thrown in as a bonus. I am concerned about somethings I've seem regarding the gameplay, but not to the point of canceling my preorder. I'm glad one of the previews I read said to nor expect another Arkham game from a gameplay perspective.  That definitely tempers expectations for me. The question is whether or not this new system is as good as the previous one. I'll see soon. One last thing, we already had an official thread for this game and I'm not sure why started a new one, but maybe we should merge the two for when reviews start to hit tomorrow for those that care? Just a suggestion. 

[BloodyHell]

Reviews coming in.

I'm not sure that publicly insulting the technical capabilities (as accurate as that insult may be) of one of the products of your hardware partners necessarily counts as a "smart" business decision.

 

Were we really expecting smart decisions to come from a WB house in this, the two thousand and twenty second year of our lord?

[best3444]

Here's a guy I really respect for reviews. I think a lot of you guys will enjoy this regardless of these bad reviews. Watch this when you get the time. It's pretty detailed. Even though he's verdict is "wait" it's still a solid game worth buying right now imo.

Microsoft could shut down all the Series S hate from the developers if they'd release some first-party shit already. It's their job to show what their hardware can do, and we've all been sitting back waiting.

 

 

That being said.... Forza Horizon 5 looks amazing, has a huge map, blasts along at high speeds with a solid framerate, and has tons of other players on it at the same time. I don't really know if their "potato" comment holds much water.

PC owners, of course, won't be locked to 30fps. Gotham Knights' Steam page notes that it can hit 60fps at low settings in 1080p using a GTX 1660 Ti/Radeon RX 590 and a Core i5-9600K/Ryzen 5 3600.

 

Now, I'm not as tech-oriented as I used to be, so I don't know how those specs compare to the specs in a Series S... but I do know how they compare to MY PC, which I have been told falls roughly in between a Series S and a Series X in terms of performance power, and the specs above are well below my PC.

Yeah whoever made that claim is full of it. Heck even Cyberpunk can hit 60 on the Series S.

@Spork3245 @Mr.Vic20 funny how this happens right when we move on to the 120fps future

I meant more about the topic addressing current gen games in general!

XSS holding back next Gen? 

 

suck it losers

[stepee]

It entirely subjective if Series S is holding back the generation as any hardware you have to design for will add constraints based on its capability. It then just matters where the generation was heading anyway, what level of pc they still want to target, what tech is currently available, where they want to push games.

 

The main thing with Series S though is that they kept the cpu intact. So when games are held back there, Series S doesn’t matter. And GPU is highly scalable, so honestly ram probably hits before that too even though that is the biggest difference. 
 

It probably holds it back a little is what I’d think, than if it just didn’t exist, but not in any meaningful way.

As a PC gamer with a 7950x and a 6800XT (soon to be 7900XTX fingerscrossed) technically all consoles hold me back.

 

 

 

I in turn hold back 3080+ card users.

If their previous video is any indication then it's the Devs that are the problem not the consoles. They developed Gotham Knights like its the early 2000s with high CPU dependency and even showed the GPU really made no difference.

DF did suggest that Series S could force devs to make more creative use of the SSD to deal with the RAM shortcomings.  And that those benefits will be paid forward to the big boy machines.

 

... It's a nice thought, at least.  Kind of doubt this is where things will end up.  As I've said elsewhere, I'm expecting devs will turn apathetic toward Series S optimization as the gen goes on.

Sounds like the Matrix UE5 demo.
