Sony considered, made market research, asked developers, made internal test prototype, etc. And found out it was too problematic (well anybody with a bit of sense knew it was a issue for the generation).

But if you look just what they released the Vita TV was a failure… it was underpowered and not all games could run on it.

"has not had great results in the past"

- it would be funny if he was thinking about Vita TV there. But Vita TV was never pitched as an affordable alternative to PS4.

Vita TV didn't even play all Vita games. Sometime Sony misses completely on hardware.

yeah, weird spinoff of a failed system. dualshock4 (used by vitatv) and vita don't even have the same inputs. sony "encouraged" vita devs to design around novel inputs as seen in Escape Plan and Tearaway, and then those games are totally fucked on the TV.

Larian developer clearly hates the Series S, but he tried to be nice as much as possible 😁

I don't think he hates Series S at all.

He probably is amused because he can't ship a game due Series S and MS policies.
I should act the same in his situation.

To be fair I should just ignore Xbox version and call a day.
He did that before but vocal Xbox fans started to ask ad infinitum.

He really tried to polite as much as possible in that interview. Other than that, it is clearly visible he don't like it.

I can't think of a time when there was a Series S. There's just been cross-gen overlap. The Pro models last gen were unprecedented afaik. Unless you want to count like the 32x or N64 ram pack.

Not to be "that guy" but we also had the New 3ds,psp 3000,Gameboy Color The DSI before it and even the PSX counts

Cool to bring these up, but imo none of them "count", with the closest being New 3DS. Once the PS4 Pro launched, practically every game had a Pro mode with substantial performance boosts. These units you've listed are mainly late-era hardware refreshes with minor upgrades that mostly weren't targeted by developers.

They’re gonna have to make sacrifices. This is the position Microsoft has unfortunately put developers in. We’re going to be stuck with series s being the baseline for the next 5-8 years of multi platform and the next era of cross-gen when it happens. It’s def not just X games at 1440p. Its last gen machine meant to pick up scraps vs ps4. Straight up garbage hardware.

I remember a certain veteran saying it's as easy as scaling back a couple of graphical things and it'd be fine. The same guy just proven wrong by R&C running like ass at low specs with an HDD.

I'm sure this developer was bribed by evil Sony.
